Flawless Body Wave Crochet Tutorial With Human Hair

If you’ve been craving a natural-looking install that gives you length, fullness, and a seamless side part without dealing with a traditional sew-in, quick weave, or a ton of leave-out… this is exactly the method you need. This style is trending for fall, and for good reason: it’s gorgeous, lightweight, beginner-friendly, and incredibly versatile.

Today’s full tutorial dives into how this look was achieved using four bundles of 22" Body Wave Human Crochet Hair by Eayon Hair—a brand known for high-quality, reusable human crochet bundles. The result? A flawless side part with stitch braids, minimal leave-out, and body wave curls that blend like a dream.

Let’s break down the entire install from prep to styling.

Why This Crochet Method Is a Game-Changer

This install stands out because:

✔️ It uses 100% human crochet hair

This means you can straighten, curl, dye, wand, and heat-style it just like traditional bundles—and reuse it.

✔️ You get a natural sew-in look… without sewing

Your braids remain flat, the hair lies perfectly, and the part looks practically invisible.

✔️ Minimal leave out = easier maintenance

Only a small sliver of hair is left out—and in the end, even that can be braided and crocheted over for zero leave-out if you prefer.

✔️ Beginner-friendly installation

No complex braiding pattern. No glue. No thread. Just crochet.

What You’ll Need

To recreate this exact install:

  • 4 bundles of 22” Eayon Hair Body Wave Human Crochet Hair

  • Braiding gel (extreme hold recommended)

  • Rat-tail comb

  • Crochet needle

  • Minimal braiding hair (for extending the cornrows)

  • Rubber bands

  • 3-way mirror

  • Edge control

  • Flat iron (optional; if blending leave out)

Everything else is optional—this style is extremely straightforward.

Step 1: Choose Your Side Part Placement

Before braiding, decide which side flatters your face best. A true half-and-half part tends to fall unnaturally, so shift your part slightly for a face-framing effect.

Once the part is set, section off the small sliver of leave out (if you choose to leave any).

Step 2: Create the Braiding Foundation

This foundation is what makes the final look flat, smooth, and natural.

The braid pattern:

  • 4 small braids angled from the part

  • 6 braids going straight back

  • Ends extended with braiding hair for length

  • Crochet hair attached only at the bottoms of the braids to prevent bulk

This pattern ensures:

  • Your install lays flat

  • You avoid bulky flipped-up braids

  • The back blends seamlessly

  • You gain extra length from extended ends

Step 3: Add Your Decorative Stitch Braids

Instead of freestyling (which adds hours!), use a stitch braid pattern referenced from Pinterest.

Key tips for crisp stitch braids:

  • Use strong, tacky braiding gel

  • Use your pinky or index finger to guide each stitch

  • Maintain tension

  • Keep sections even

  • Avoid drifting into the next braid

The stitch braids are the star of the look—they frame the face and elevate the install.

Step 4: Extend the Cornrow Ends for Length

This step is brilliant and saves time:

Instead of flipping braid ends upward, extend each braid with a small amount of braiding hair. Then, attach a single piece of crochet hair at the bottom.

Benefits:

  • Adds length

  • Keeps braids lightweight

  • Offers natural movement

  • Makes crocheting easier

Step 5: Install the Body Wave Human Crochet Hair

This part is unbelievably beginner-friendly.

How to crochet it in:

  • Work vertically up each braid

  • Space pieces about 1 inch apart

  • Avoid overcrowding

  • Distribute hair evenly—especially with limited bundles

  • Be extra gentle near the hairline

Because the hair is human and the braids are extended, the installation is fast, smooth, and natural.

Step 6: Decide on Leave Out (Optional)

Here’s the surprise:
The style looks so seamless that the leave out becomes almost unnecessary.

If your blend isn’t perfect or you want even less maintenance:

  • Simply braid that section down

  • Crochet hair directly over it

This gives a no-leave-out crochet install with a soft, believable part.

Step 7: Blend Your Hair (If You Kept Leave Out)

To mimic the body wave pattern:

  • Gently rock the flat iron back and forth

  • Create soft waves

  • Avoid making perfect curls—match the natural S-pattern of the body wave bundle

Then lay your baby hairs for a polished finish.

Step 8: Style, Fluff & Slay

Once makeup and edges are done, the entire look transforms.
The body wave hair falls beautifully, the stitch braids pop, and the side part melt looks like a fresh quick weave—without the damage.

Why I Love This Method

  • The hair is soft, long, and moves naturally

  • No bulky braid ends

  • The part looks undetectable

  • The style is reusable

  • It lasts, blends, and photographs beautifully

  • The stitch braids elevate the whole look

  • It’s protective AND glamorous

If you want length, fullness, and versatility without the commitment of a sew-in, this human hair crochet method is one of the best installs you can try.

FAQs

1. Does human crochet hair last longer than synthetic crochet hair?

Yes. Human crochet hair can be washed, heat-styled, reused, and refreshed, making it significantly longer-lasting and more versatile than synthetic hair.

2. How many bundles of body wave crochet hair do I need?

For a full, long install like this one, four bundles of 20–22 inches are ideal. For shorter lengths or a lighter look, 2–3 may be enough.

3. Do I need to leave it out for this style?

No. The part lays so seamlessly that you can braid all your natural hair and crochet over the top if needed.

4. Can I curl, straighten, or dye human crochet hair?

Absolutely. High-quality human crochet hair behaves exactly like regular human bundles—you can curl, flat iron, wand, or color it with ease.

5. How long does a crochet install like this last?

Typically 4–8 weeks, depending on maintenance, braid longevity, and how well you protect the style at night.
