Introduction:

In this tutorial, we will be exploring a protective hairstyle using pre-stretched kanekalon hair from Outre. We will take you step by step through the process of prepping your hair, selecting the right hair, and braiding and twisting the hair using the crochet method. We will also discuss the final look and review the hair. So let's get started!

Prepping the Hair:

Before diving into the hairstyle, it's important to prepare your hair properly. Start by moisturizing your extra dry hair with your favorite hair product, such as Lotta Body, and add a bit of oil for added moisture. Take the time to separate your hair and create the desired parts, including a deep side part if desired. If your hair is not straightened, you can choose to stretch it, either by blow drying or flat ironing, for easier installation of the braiding hair. Detangle your hair using a brush and twist it up to keep it out of the way.

Selecting the Hair:

For this hairstyle, we will be using Outre's pre-stretched kanekalon hair. This hair is designed with natural tapered ends and comes pre-stretched, saving you time and effort. Each pack contains three bundles of hair, providing ample volume for your hairstyle. The hair is super lightweight, making it comfortable to wear. It is available in 46 and 56 inches, and I will be using the color 1B and 56 inches for this tutorial. Simply pull out a bundle of hair and use as much as you need for each braid.

Braiding Crochet Method:

Now, let's move on to the braiding crochet method. This method works not only for braids but also for twists. Take a small section of your hair and use a crochet hook to pull the braiding hair through. The hair is pre-stretched, so it is easy to work with and has some room to move around. This is important because it allows for the natural hair to blend and prevents slippage. Make sure to braid each section carefully, taking into consideration the base of the braid and your edges. Apply a good edge control product to ensure a smooth and seamless blend between your natural and braiding hair.

Twisting the Hair:

Once the braiding is complete, it's time to twist the hair. Split your hair into two sections and twist them together, creating a Senegalese twist-like effect. Apply gel to your hair to help with the twisting process and ensure a better flow and blend. By twisting the base of the hair, you are ensuring that the style will last and remain secure. Take your time and be gentle, especially around your edges, as you don't want to pull too tightly. Repeat this process for all the sections of hair until your entire head is twisted.

Final Look:

After completing all the twisting, it's time to take a look at the final result. This style is a great option for those who prefer protective styles or want to switch up their look. It's also a fantastic way to showcase the versatility of the braiding crochet method, as it works beautifully with both braids and twists. I personally love this style because it allows me to wear my hair in a bun, which is my go-to look. However, you can choose to wear it down or style it in any way you prefer. The Outre pre-stretched hair used for this style is lightweight and easy to work with. It doesn't tangle easily, and the pre-stretched feature saves time and effort during the installation process. Overall, it's a win-win!

Review of the Hair:

The Outre pre-stretched hair used in this tutorial is a great option for those looking for lightweight and easy-to-use braiding hair. It comes in a variety of lengths and colors to suit different preferences. The fact that it is pre-stretched saves time and ensures a consistent look. The hair doesn't tangle easily, which is a major plus, and it is comfortable to wear. However, it's important to use a good edge control product to ensure a seamless blend between your natural hair and the braiding hair. Overall, the hair is a reliable choice for creating stunning protective styles.

Tips and Tricks:

• If you prefer a more stretched look, consider blow drying or flat ironing your hair before starting the braiding process.
• Use a good edge control product to ensure a smooth and seamless blend between your natural hair and the braiding hair.
• For a more secure and long-lasting style, twist the base of the hair before braiding or twisting.
• If you have a good grip game and can twist the hair without using the braiding crochet method, feel free to skip that step.
• Experiment with different sizes of twists to find the look that suits you best.
• Always keep a stash of braiding hair at home for quick and easy hairstyle changes.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the braiding crochet method is a versatile technique that works well for both braids and twists. It allows for a seamless blend between your natural hair and the braiding hair, ensuring a secure and long-lasting style. The Outre pre-stretched kanekalon hair used in this tutorial is lightweight, easy to work with, and doesn't tangle easily. It is a great option for those looking to create protective styles that are comfortable to wear. So go ahead, give this method a try, and rock some stunning twists!
