Crochet braids are a good technique to add volume to your hair. Unlike heat extensions, this technique does not involve any external heat or chemicals. You can simply add a bunch of hair into your braids and enjoy it for weeks. The original crochet braids started in the early 2000s and recently, it has been catapulted into mainstream usage because of the wide availability of wigs and natural-looking hair.

Here are steps and techniques to do crochet braids easily

  1. Use the cornrow technique and set the hair in neat braids moving towards the back to start the crochet braids.
  2. Use a crochet needle and insert the hair one by one into the braids.

  4. Use few strand bunches at a time and push it under your braid.
  5. Fold the hair bunch in half, hook it to the crochet needle and pull it to the opposite side.
  6. Make an under knot twice. Make two to three knots and tighten it once it's secured on the braid.
  7. Repeat this step until you have covered the whole braids one by one. This should take anything between one to two hours to finish the crochet braids.
