FreeTress Water Wave

Now I would consider this my first time doing crochet braids on myself, because using the Marley doesn't count to me...I am so happy about this!

Yay for my first time!!!



Hair, Color, And Packs

I am absolutely loving the curls above, so I decided to get the:

Brand: FreeTress

Type: Water Wave Color: #30 and #2 Dark Brown Price: $5.99/pack (purchased 5 packs (2 in 30 and 3 in 2)



Prepping Natural Hair

My hair was already cleaned, moisturized, and detangled from doing my crochet braids with the Marley before, so that saved me a few steps from prepping my hair.





T he braid pattern I decided on was a curved and zigzag look so my hair wouldn't be so bulky and I did not want my braids to show. I also wanted to go for the "natural look" with a part on the side







Crochet Braids Process

1). I took the WW hair out of one of the packs to work with. When working with the crocheting process, I split each pre-set strand in three parts, to have more for the pack.

3). After I feel the hair is secure in the latch-hook, I pulled my tool in reverse back under the cornrow until the "bunny loop" came through.

5). Continue this process around the entire head.
