Update | Crochet braids are back!

Rocking it!

This is my current protective style.
I plan to keep this in for the next 3-4 weeks.
One week down, three to go!

Why is this a great protective style?

My hair is hidden in cornrows (with extensions underneath).
I can access my scalp and roots easily (more so than weaved hair).
I can co-wash once a week (tonight) and deep condition as I choose.
I can flaunt these tresses like a natural head of hair, doing faux-puffs and fros!

Yes you can, hon! I would say to wait until 2 weeks into the style before deep conditioning. It just requires trimming the ends of the hair if it tangles a bit as it dries.
Even with thin hair, you can do crochet braids. I always do these with extension hair added to the braids at the braid to keep it sturdier and a bit more protected.
Hope that helped!
God bless!
