Crochet braids Hair are sometimes known as latch hook braids by veteran stylists who have been doing them for years, due to the fact that installation requires the use of a latch hook. The wearer`s natural hair is braided or twisted flat and then the hair extensions are crochet into the braids.
Knotting techniques will depend on the stylist, desired finished style, as well as, the desired wear length of the install. When the braids are only going to be worn for a few days or weeks single knots and braidless installs are ideal. For those who like to wear their braids for a longer periods of time triple and double knots are the best way to ensure the hair will not slip out or come loose. Some hair extensions come pre-looped for a quick and easy installation. The number of packs of hair will be determined by the desired look and the volume of hair found in the individual package. A good rule of thumb to follow is, longer lengths of crochet hair will require more packs than shorter lengths.
