Soft, full crochet curls, with extra work to even out the front
AlwaysAmeera · YouTube
AlwaysAmeera liked the softness, fullness and light feel of five bundles of 20-inch OQ Hair Burmese Curly crochet hair. She used all the supplied hair and estimated it at about 250 grams.
Her stylist Mia combined knotless braids in front with crochet hair in back and perimeter braids that let her put the hair up. The appointment took about four and a half hours.
For her fine, thin hair, the stylist added separate kinky-textured human hair as a base for the front braids and braided in the crochet strands. Ameera felt that this gave the braids more fullness, hid the crochet thread and left the edges comfortable rather than tight.
The extra base hair was 18 inches and made the front longer than the back. She wished she had chosen 14 or 16 inches instead.
At home, she trimmed and layered the ends to even out the shape. She used water and TRESemmé Bouncy Curls Air Dry Foam, then brushed through the curls while trying not to tug at her scalp.
She thought she had used too much mousse on one side and reduced it on the other to avoid a crunchy feel. Drying took a while, especially at the back.
Once dry, she fluffed the curls and liked wearing the style up, although making the bun took some effort. She also liked the soft curls before adding water or mousse.
She guessed she might keep this installation for a couple of days and planned updates. Her comments about earlier braids staying together for two weeks describe her past use of the method, not two weeks with this installation.
OQ Hair supplied the hair and sponsored the video. Ameera shared a product link and discount code, and her description also discloses affiliate links. She names her stylist and salon.
