Crochet braids are a new twist on an old classic. When I was a child latch-hook braids were really popular. The process was very similar to the tutorial found below, but we actually latched little braids through our hair. The style took a little time, but it ended up being very cute. It also looked nice for quite a long time.
If you are interested in trying out this style, please check out the tutorial below!

You will need a latch hook, which can be found from some local beauty supply stores or Wal-Mart. Also, weave of your choice- about two to three packs.

You can use any brand hair- it is up to you! Some options are, but not limited to, Marley braid hair, kaneleklon, wavy or curly hair etc. Typically, voluminous hair is used.
How should I maintain my crochet braids?
Very simple! Just wear a satin cap at night, no manipulation needed. In the morning remove your cap and simply shake and go.
Avoid wetting your weave hair and make sure to keep your scalp moisturized.
