Crocheted Senegalese Twists

I have loved and respected Senegalese twists for any very long time. They act like kinky twists there is however something "sophisticated" about the subject.....or possibly it is simply me :)

2 yrs ago, with the aid of YouTube I trained myself how you can do them and insert them in my siblings hair. It had been a success! Everybody desired to know "who did hair?Inch

Now it had been my turn. I needed them as well however i did not possess the persistence to test them within my own hair and that i certainly wasn't likely to pay anybody $200+ to complete them when I understand how to complete them myself. And So I emerged with this particular cheaper, simpler alternative...I crocheted them in.

Used to do Crochet Braids three occasions this past year but I have always used frizzy hair. I love Frizzy Hair since it is soft and lightweight however i could never have them in more than 2 days because washing them will be a problem for me personally. They'd get matted and merely not look right.

So after hunting the net, I finally found some pre-braided hair that appeared as if Senegalese twists HERE, braided my hair up and hang to operate.

The operation is simple enough when the braiding is performed. I'd usually braid my hair going straight back but made the decision about this pattern for a little of variation.

To set up your hair, you essentially make use of a latch hook ($1 in the Beauty Store) and loop your hair with the conrows. With respect to the hair used,  you'll have to tie a knot to guarantee the hair doesn't slip out. Your hair can be used looks narrow but it is kinda thick if you check it out, make certain that the conrows aren't not big enough.

The whole process required about 6 hrs and altogether I made use of 10 packets of hair. It may sound just like a lot but each packet has only about 20 (really lengthy/waistlenght) braids however i would advise against cutting them in two (to begin) simply because they will finish up being way too short.

I intend on keeping them in for a whole month, however the operative word is PLAN. I am inclined to become bored quite simple but I have already had them set for per week so that's an excellent start. I intend to clean them each week.

Tip: Before setting up your hair, I drenched the braids inside a tub of tepid to warm water that contains 1 cup of vinegar. I additionally cleaned it with shampoo and added just a little Essential olive oil (this task is optional). This can help to get rid of the alkaline base/coating that's placed on synthetic hair throughout the manufacturing process.
