How to Recreate a Gorgeous Frohawk Hairstyle Using the Braidless Crochet Technique

Are you a fan of the notorious Kia on YouTube and her stunning frohawk hairstyle? Do you want to recreate this gorgeous look for yourself? In this article, we'll guide you through the step-by-step process of recreating a frohawk using the braidless crochet technique. We'll also share some tips, tricks, and product recommendations to help you achieve the same stunning results. So, without further ado, let's dive in and get started!

1. Introduction

Before we begin the tutorial, let's talk about the importance of preparation. It's essential to have your hair in the right condition before starting any hairstyle. If you have type 4c natural hair like mine, you may want to lightly blow it out to make the styling process easier. But don't worry, even if your hair is not 4c or blown out, you can still follow along and achieve fantastic results.

To ensure your hair is well-prepared, consider pre-treating it with DIY whipped shea butter. This magical goodness can be warmed up in your hands and distributed evenly throughout the length of your hair. It's also great for a soothing and stimulating scalp massage. If you haven't tried this DIY whipped shea butter yet, I highly recommend checking out the tutorial for making it.

2. Preparing the Hair

Once your hair is pre-treated and ready to go, it's time to create the parts for the frohawk. The key to a stunning frohawk is precise and crooked parts. To achieve this, you can use the Ebony New York 48 Hour Edge Tamer before creating the parts. This product will help you achieve smaller, more intricate parts with ease. However, it's important to note that a frohawk doesn't have to be perfect, so feel free to freestyle it a bit and embrace the natural beauty of imperfections.

3. Creating the Parts

When creating the parts for your frohawk, it's crucial to pay attention to detail. Start by saturating your rubber bands with a growth oil, such as the My Fluffy Puffs Regal 7 Growth Oil, to protect your hair from breakage. This step is especially important for those who are afraid of potential damage. Once you've saturated the rubber bands, gently place them in your hair, focusing on the perimeter hairline.

Depending on your desired look, you can create five to six sections for your frohawk. Take your time and ensure the parts are neat and crooked. Remember, crooked parts matter, as they add depth and dimension to the hairstyle.

4. Adding Rubber Bands and Twisting the Hair

To achieve a secure and polished look, it's essential to twist the hair in a way that covers the rubber bands. This step is critical for creating a neater and more cohesive appearance. While twisting the hair, make sure to cover the rubber bands carefully to avoid them from being seen. If done correctly, this technique will help you achieve a seamless and professional-looking frohawk.

To twist the hair in the right direction, start from the front of your hairline and twist down towards the nape of your neck. This twisting motion will help the hair fall in one line, giving your frohawk a sleek and sophisticated look.

5. Crocheting in the Pre-Looped Hair

Now that your hair is twisted and secured, it's time to add the pre-looped hair using the braidless crochet technique. Choose a pre-looped hair with a tightly coiled texture to achieve a look similar to the notorious Kia's full and voluminous hair. A texture that mimics her hair will help capture the essence of her gorgeous frohawk.

When crocheting in the hair, be patient and take your time. This texture is known to frizz, so handle it with care to avoid any unruly frizz. While working with it may be challenging for beginners, it's worth the effort for the stunning results it can achieve. Remember, practice makes perfect, so don't be discouraged if it takes a few tries to master the technique.

6. Styling and Adding Volume

Once the crocheted hair is in place, it's time to style your frohawk and add volume. To secure the crochet knots and keep them in place, place bobby pins at the base of each knot. Be strategic in your placement, starting from the front of the hairline and working your way down towards the nape. Avoid using too many bobby pins to maintain a natural and lightweight feel.

To give your frohawk more body and volume, use a shampoo comb to create even more volume and a little bit of frizz. This combination will help give your frohawk a full and voluminous look. Remember to look at the volume from different angles and make adjustments as needed to achieve the desired fullness.

7. Finalizing the Look

To complete the frohawk hairstyle, it's time to add a few finishing touches. Begin by securing the braids you created with the two loose ends. Twist the braids around each other and create a small bantu knot at the end. Use bobby pins to secure the braids in place and use the curls from the crocheted hair to cover the bobby pins.

To add a touch of glamour, apply jewels to your frohawk. This step is super easy and can instantly elevate your look. Have fun with the jewels and experiment with different placements to create a style that is uniquely yours.
