Installing a Braidless Crochet Look: An Easy Tutorial for Natural Hair

In this tutorial, I will guide you through the process of installing a braidless crochet look, perfect for those with natural hair. This hairstyle is cute and simple, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a quick and easy style. I will provide step-by-step instructions on how to achieve this look, as well as tips and tricks along the way. So, let's get started!

1. Introduction

Welcome to this tutorial on installing a braidless crochet look. This hairstyle is a great option for those who want a cute and simple style without the hassle of braiding. Whether you're new to crochet hairstyles or an experienced crocheter looking for a new style, this tutorial is for you.

2. Preparing the Hair

Before starting the installation process, it's important to prepare your hair. Make sure your hair is clean, washed, and moisturized. This will ensure a smooth and seamless installation. Divide your hair into two sections to create the half-up, half-down style.

3. Applying Beeswax

To add moisture and create a neater style, consider applying beeswax to your scalp and hair. Beeswax not only adds moisture but also helps in securing the crochet hair. Apply a small amount of beeswax to your scalp and hair, using your fingertips to distribute it evenly.

Pros: Adds moisture to the scalp, creates a neater style. Cons: May leave a greasy residue if applied excessively.

4. The Crochet Hair Used

For this braidless crochet look, we will be using the Zero Bohemian crochet hair. This crochet hair comes in lengths of 8, 9, and 10 inches. One pack of the Zero Bohemian crochet hair contains three bundles. You will need approximately one and a half packs of hair for this style.

Pros: Versatile length options, comes in bundles for easy installation. Cons: May require estimating the amount of hair needed.

5. Installing the Crochet Hair

To install the crochet hair, follow these simple steps:

1. Take a crochet hook and insert it through your hair.
2. Make a loop with the crochet hook, and pull a section of the hair through the loop.
3. Gently pull one side of the hair to create a knot, making sure not to create too tight of a knot.
4. Repeat the process, inserting the crochet hook through different sections of your hair until the desired fullness is achieved.

6. Adjusting the Fullness

After installing the crochet hair, it's time to adjust the fullness of the style. Don't be discouraged by the initial appearance of the hairstyle, as the hair will fluff up once it's separated and styled. Use your fingers to separate the curls and create a more natural look.

7. Styling the Top Section

To style the top section of your hair, apply a small amount of jelly bean gel or any preferred hair gel. Use a brush to neatly brush your hair back and create a smooth top section. Don't forget to use edge control to tame any flyaways and create a polished look.

8. Adding Edge Control

To ensure that your edges stay sleek and in place, apply edge control along the hairline. This will add the finishing touch to your braidless crochet look. Use a trusted edge control product, such as Edge Booster, and apply it using your fingertips or a small brush.

Pros: Creates sleek edges, adds polish to the style. Cons: Some edge control products may not provide a strong hold.

9. Creating the Bun

For the back section of your hair, create a neat bun. Keep in mind that the bun should be small and secure, but not tight to avoid causing tension. Use bobby pins to secure the bun in place. This will add a retro touch to the overall look.

10. Finishing Touches and Conclusion

After completing the installation and styling, take a moment to admire your braidless crochet look. You can further customize the style to your liking, such as turning it into a ponytail or fluffing out the hair for additional volume. This temporary style is perfect for a week or two of wear. If you're looking for a quick and cute hairstyle, give this braidless crochet look a try.
