How to Crochet a Hair Weave
Looking for an alternative to a regular weave hairstyle, then, consider getting a crochet hair weave hairstyle. The style gives you a unique look without the glue that normally comes with weaving the hair. It can make a dramatic appearance while protecting your natural hair allowing it to grow faster.
Materials
- Crochet hook
- Shampoo
- Conditioner
- Comb
- Needle and thread
- Weave
- Towel
- Buy all of your weave materials necessary to crochet weave your hair at your local beauty supply store. Purchase the crochet hook, needle and thread at your local craft store.
- Wash and condition your hair prior to the weaving process and towel dry the hair.
- Determine how you want your hair parted. Choose to part the hair in the middle or to the side or slant the part.
- Braid your hair into small cornrows going towards the back of your head if you can or get someone to braid the hair for you. Make sure you braid the cornrows really small as this makes the weave much neater and will also keep it in place longer. Braid the entire head of hair, take a break if your hands get tired braiding. Take the cornrow ends after you finish braiding and secure the ends to the top of braid you created using your sewing needle and thread.
- Get your weave and separate into your desired section. The hair comes with a center band, which you will use to do the crochet loop.
- Crochet the hair from the back up. Take your crochet hook and place the hook under the cornrow and pull the weave hair to the hook to create a loop.
- Take the other end of the hair and pull it through the loop tightly to make sure it is secure. Make a knot also to make sure to secure the hair to the cornrow.
- Be patient when you crochet weave your hair because it can take up to five hours or more depending on the length of the hair and the amount of weave you add to the hair.
