Do-it-yourself Crochet Braids No Cornrows

too cute...

Creative.

I wonder about removal . . .

It seems to be more work. The allure of crochet for me is the short installation time

I do a combination of individuals in the front perimeter and cornrows the rest. Individuals all over will look the most natural but very time consuming.

I do not believe it only took her 2 hours. She probably spent a minimum of 5 minutes per braid and that adds up to about 5 hours for 60 braids. I just did this on my daughter's hair and it took about 7 hours over 2 days. Once you attach the braid to the plait, it takes forever to crochet the plait into the braid. I will never do this again. The next time, I will gladly pay someone $70 to do regular box braids.

I agree
Cute technique but I think she had a typo and meant 4 hours lolol

And it seemed her process is longer based on the extra steps
