A first crochet install with lessons about spacing and splitting

Brandi Rose · YouTube

Brandi Rose used Freetress Fluffy Wand Curl in color 2 for her first crochet installation. She began by splitting pieces in two, but later felt she did not need to separate them as much and could use whole pieces.

She learned to leave space between attachments rather than overfilling the style. She also thought smaller base braids would give her more styling options next time.

After adding edge control and blending her edges, she showed the finished look. This is an installation tutorial, without a later wash, tangling, removal or reuse update.

Nearly five weeks of bounce, with an updo as frizz increased

She World · YouTube

She World bought two packs of Freetress Fluffy Wand Curl in color 2 and used about one and a third packs for her crochet style. She paid roughly $8.99 per pack and coated the separated strands with hair grease before installation, which she felt helped control frizz.

She expected only two or three weeks but got nearly five. The curls stayed bouncy for much of that time.

She wore them down for about three and a half weeks, then switched to an updo for the last week and a half as the hair became frizzier. She still liked the fullness and considered it a successful beginner-friendly style.

A wash or completed reuse was not described.

Whole coils looked bouncy, but splitting them created frizz and waste

Florinda LaShay · YouTube

Florinda installed four packs of Freetress Fluffy Wand Curl in 1B on a client. She kept most coils whole for a cleaner, natural twist-out look.

Their thickness made them difficult to pull through the small front cornrows, and she wished she had made those braids larger. Leaving gaps between attachments helped avoid too much bulk in one spot.

She split some pieces around the hairline, but the curls joined near the ends and separated with considerable frizz. She recoiled what she could and discarded some strands.

She liked the finished bounce, movement and fullness. Her preference for leaving the coils whole was based on the installation and appearance; she did not report how the client's hair held up after washing or weeks of wear.

Purchase, gifting and payment from the hair brand were not stated.

Her first crochet attempt needed a restart and a more secure front knot

xoJhazy · YouTube

xoJhazy found Freetress 2X Fluffy Wand Curl soft, bouncy and natural-looking during her first DIY crochet installation. She initially used large sections, then removed the work after reaching about halfway and restarted with smaller separated pieces.

Twisting individual curls in the opposite direction made them springier and shorter. At the front, pulling only one side through hid the attachment but allowed it to slide, so she added another loop and pull-through for a more secure knot.

She liked the finished curls, though some sections remained frizzier than others. She shaped the hair, added oil and put on a bonnet for bed, without a later wear or wash update.

Mousse and retwisting rescued a style she kept for five weeks

Gabrielle's Hair · YouTube

Gabrielle’s Hair revisited an earlier Freetress Fluffy Wand Curl installation in colors 2 and OT30. She loved the colored curls, but splitting the strands created frizz and took extra preparation.

An initial mousse test changed the texture in a way she disliked, so she first twirled and trimmed the separated curls without product. After one week, the style became very frizzy despite sleeping with it gathered up.

She then applied mousse and retwisted the whole style in medium sections, leaving the twists for a couple of days to dry. That improved the appearance substantially, although some frizz remained.

She wore it for another four weeks, trimming and reshaping it along the way, for five weeks total. She still liked the hair despite tangling and upkeep.

This is a retrospective account of the same earlier installation, not a new five-week trial filmed for the later upload.

Splitting the curls reduced bulk, but the ends needed smoothing

Indya Ajai Tutorials · YouTube

Indya used two packs of Freetress Fluffy Wand Curl in color 1B for a crochet install. She split the pieces for a less bulky look and used mousse and water to smooth rough ends.

She liked the full curls and wore a bonnet at night. She discussed usually wearing crochet styles for a month, but did not show this particular hair after a month or report completed reuse.

DivaTress supplied the hair for a collaboration.
