So as many of you know, I'm modeling LongHairDon'tCare's regimen as much as possible. Essentially her reggie is based on long term low maintenence protective styling to achieve your goal.
The protective style I found and fell in love with were crochet braids. I chose them because they give you a very "done" polished look while protecting your hair, they're quick and easy to do most ladies on youtube say it took them a average of 3-4 hours so I was excited to try them. Well my mom went from store to store and couldn't find a latch hook anywhere
so we got creative and I pretty much did this style with nothing more then a bobby pin
lol
I used FreeTress Water Wave Hair in number 4 and a little 4/30 to incorporate the golden highlights its doesnt look like much hair in the pack but its called bulk for a reason people! lol to do her hair it took just 2.5 packs it was about $6 each. The hair frizzes very easily when you seperate each cluster so to tame that and define the curl I used some cheapo Ampro Clear Ice Gel I had lying around on each piece and it worked beautifully very little flaking and light-medium hold
I was so glad to finally find a use or that. If you want more of an afro look you can simply leave the hair frizzy and you'll get the full effect you want.
Without further ado.....heres the

Gosh that hairstyle is so cute 
It looks great! So natural looking, too. 
I'm going to try using the beader when I install this style for myself.
its like a three step process for every little piece of hair when you're using something other then the latch hook and its such a pain
