The palette you used before with your natural dark or brunette hair all of a sudden won’t look the same. Keke Palmer, Brandy, and Kerry Washington have all been spotted on the scene rocking their crochet twists. Spring twists last up to a month, or longer if you don’t mind frizz. According to Ursula Stephens, celebrity hairstylist, you should refrain from wearing any protective style for longer than two months.

Dos and Don’ts

This results in a hairstyle that looks like individually twisted strands of hair, giving it a textured appearance. Check out the table below to find out its most admirable advantages. If that wasn't enough to convince you, Brown points out that crochet hairstyles are more affordable than typical sew-ins. So if you're ready to add a crochet style into your rotation, get ready to screenshot some inspo. Ahead, the 38 prettiest crochet hairstyle ideas (from faux locs to loose curls) that will convince you to make the switch. If the regular passion twist isn’t enough for you, first we’d like to say we love how you think, the bigger the better!

Jumbo Crochet Twist Tutorial (5 Easy To Follow Steps)

Note that the twists in the video are actually passion twists. Some think that passion twists and spring twists are the same, but this is not the case. The two styles are created with different hair and have distinctive overall looks. Crochet braids hairstyles promise a chic look, no matter where you’re headed.

Jumbo marley twists, short kinky twists, and passion twists are just a few of the many trendy ways to rock crochet twists. Even though you oiled your scalp as you installed your spring twists, you may need to re-oil your scalp periodically. This is because your exposed scalp loses moisture, whether it’s in a protective style or not. “Type in the name of the hair brand into YouTube, and you’ll be able to see videos of other people using the hair and how it looks on a person outside of the package," says Brown.

This beauty is rocking a fun ombre look that combines darker brown with a bold warm blonde for a cute blended effect that’s eye-catching. Cinnamon brown is such a hot hue, and we love it even more here. Passion twists are set using the crochet method, and then only an inch or so is twisted while the majority of the length is left loose. The result is a gorgeous set of enviable curls that will turn heads no matter where you go. But you’ll love how much faster you can have them created when you opt for crochet braids. We’re in love with the medium-width braids this beauty is rocking and the casual half updo she created.

And because this is a crochet hairstyle, you can rock your favorite look in as little as two to three hours. Passion twists are all the rage, but make it easier by creating it with crochet twists. To copy this look, pick longer hair that’s around 24 inches long with an ombre effect that starts dark at the roots and shifts into a warm cinnamon brown. We can’t get over the visual interest these goddess locs create. This crochet locs style is breathtaking, as smooth and glistening locks transition into gorgeous ringlets. And it’s such an easy style to duplicate since often these extensions come pre-looped.

Here, this beauty is rocking a classic look with medium-width faux locs. To make the install undetectable, she’s opted to leave her perimeter hairline loose instead of cornrowing all of her hair. So, the locs at her perimeter look like individuals, while the remainder is installed using the classic crochet method. Long twists, braids, and locs are nice, but we’re also in love with the faux locs created here using the crochet method. To make this your own, opt for dark black or brown-black extensions and use colorful string to accent a few strategic locs to create visual interest. If you can relate, you likely try to do hairstyles that aren’t as common.

Locs of Love

Just because you have a mass of length added to your hair, doesn’t mean you need to do it. Sometimes the medium length hairstyles have the biggest impact, especially in the height of summer when all that hair just weighs you down. Spring twists may cost anywhere from $150 to $300, not including the extension hair cost. Depending on where you purchase your hair, you could spend anywhere from $10 to $15 or more per pack. You should add the hair cost to the installation cost to get the full price. If you’re having trouble gripping your hair at the base of the spring twist, try the rubber band method.

You'll want to go for wavy braiding hair (not too tight and not too loose) when recreating this style, but feel free to play around with length. This wavy crochet hairstyle is a great option if you want a weave with the freedom to install it at home. Check out this crochet hair install tutorial that will walk you through exactly how and where to install the extensions.

Pull hair up for a more polished look that goes from work to date night in a snap. This crochet hair style features pulled-back chunky, layered twists that are held in place with bobby pins. Medium-to-long twist braids like these are easy to style, whether you’re aiming for a casual or elegant look. These corkscrews are reminiscent of dreadlocks, separating hair into defined pieces with a kinky texture. Sew-ins are a great way to create cropped shapes as well. This is a brilliant option if you like short hair that’s fun and sassy.

Also, don’t forget to check out my other blog post for more easy crochet hair tutorials. Which I thought was a plus because traditional braids can really weigh down your head and get all your nerves, this twist basically felt like feathers. The twist is pretty much set and they are going to stay in as twist unless you unravel them. The twists are lightweight but extremely full and very thick. The Havana mambo twist crochet braids only took about two hours to put. As compared to like 12 hours if I were to do these twist the traditional way.

If you want a hair length that’s not too long or too short, shoulder-length passion twists are calling your name! Shoulder-length passion twists are for people who don’t want to have to worry about styling their hair every day. Before you decide to have your crochet braids installed, make sure you and your hair is ready. You’ll need to both wash and then deep-condition your hair, preferably a couple of times over a few weeks, and then you’ll need to give your scalp and locks a good hot oil treatment.
