Aftercare
Keep your crochet install looking fresh.
Sleep Protected
Wear a satin bonnet or scarf every night.
Moisturize Lightly
Light oil or spray on the scalp. Avoid heavy products on the crochet hair.
Wash Gently
Use diluted shampoo on the scalp. Avoid soaking the crochet hair if possible.
Take It Out on Time
4-8 weeks is typical. Do not push past that or your cornrow base will matt.

Common Questions
What is the difference between crochet braids and regular braids?
Crochet braids use pre-made hair that is looped through a cornrow base. Regular braids (box, knotless) are done strand by strand. Crochet is faster but the finish is different.
Can I wash my crochet braids?
You can wash your scalp with diluted shampoo. Avoid soaking the crochet hair itself, as some textures may tangle or lose their curl pattern.
What hair do I need to bring?
It depends on the look you want. We can advise you when you book. Common options: Freetress, X-Pression, or pre-made loc bundles.
Can I swim with crochet braids?
You can, but chlorine and salt water may affect the hair texture. Rinse and dry thoroughly afterward.
Do you do crochet locs?
Yes. Crochet locs are pre-made locs installed via the crochet method. Faster than individually wrapping faux locs.
