How I achieved my Birthday Hair!

I am not a fan of change or trying new things. I buy what I know and I hardly ever experiment with food, especially if my money spend! lol I carried this bad habit throughout life and if became a drag! I needed some color to the grey life! So now I try new foods, new drinks, go to new places, meet new people and try new hairstyles!! 


So I am keeping my promise of writing a blog on how I achieved this look! This is called crochet braiding.  

Things you would need:
Cup of hot water


Step 1: Cornrow entire hair going from front to back. 

Step 2: Split each Afro Twist Strand in 2

Step 3: Using the crochet needle, you lock the hair inside the needle and push it through your cornrow. 

Step 4: When the braid goes through your cornrow, it's going to look like a show lace that's folded in half. When you are at the point, you take the loose ends and put it through the looped part and pull it tightly, creating a knot. 

Step 5: I create a double knot by looping it back through  before tightening (this is optional) Then you proceed to comb through the braid. ( It is easier to handle when you comb through it because it behaves like natural hair)

Step 6: After I complete the surface, I proceeded to wrap portions of the hair around my finger and form a knot.

Step 7: I dipped the knot into a cup of extremely hot water. (Please ensure to keep a towel close by to protect your back and ear)

Step 8: Unknot braid when it is completely dried and you will get your lovely dropped curl. Many people use the curling rods but I find the finger knot to be just as effective and less costly.
