So decided to install the crochet braids again but this time I used straight Kanekalon syntheitc braids. I used a packet of Sleek City Girl Smooth Operator 20/16 in color 2 and for some colour I used Darling Xpressions braid in no 4. The sleek braid was about 600/- and the Darling about 250/-..
The braid pattern i used was 15 lines all the way to the back and one line across at the back so I can tie a ponytail with the braids..because of the straight hair I tied knots after looping the braid on.I actually wanted to curl them with straws but my sister and braider said I should keep them straight for a couple of days then curl them..so here are the results..not bad but I like curly hair better than straight so will curl them asap

Looks really nice! Have you ever tried tree braids? You can tree braid the entire head and then crotchet braid the exposed cornrows at the front to get a full effect. I just find full head crotchet braiding very labour intensive and too long so this is a perfect shortcut using both styles. They are called drop lines, drop braids or minus braids in Kenya
ReplyDeleteHi thanks so much.. No I have not tried the tree braids but I definitely will check them out and see if I can get them done
DeleteI Love the crochet Braids On you! I can't wait to See what it Looks like curled
ReplyDeleteThanks hun! I will post pics of them curled soonest!
DeleteIs there a more natural looking braid/weave in Kenya that I can use for the crotchet braids... more like the afro kinky kind of hair??
ReplyDeleteHi Cynthia unfortunately none that I have come across but you can go to blush at apic center in Westlands and order for marley braids they are afro and kinky looking
