Crotchet Braids and the Joy of Not Having to Do My Hair

By Nesheaholic @nesheaholic


I enjoy doing my hair. I enjoyed it even more pre-motherhood when I had a little more free time on my hands. With that being said, I also adore the relief of having my hair in a long-term protective style. Not having to worry about styling my hair in the morning for a few weeks is definitely a luxury I greatly enjoy. 
My friend Keisha recently installed Senegalese twists via the crotchet method for me. It only took 2 hours and 15 minutes in comparison to the 6-8 hours installing individual twists takes. If you aren't familiar with the process, crotchet braids are installed by using a latch hook tool to crotchet hair into your corn-braided hair. 
Below you can see the braid pattern of my hair underneath my twists. 

For maintenance I plan to moisturize my hair and scalp underneath the twists every other day or so with Shea Moisture Hold & Shine Moisture Mist
What styles do you employ to give yourself a break from doing your hair?
