✔️ Protective and low-tension

What You’ll Need

2.5–3 packs of Water Wave Feathered Crochet Hair – 20"
Latch hook tool
Edge control & styling mousse
Root touch-up for part lines
Scissors (for uninstall, optional)

💡 Pro Tip: Bigger cornrows = faster install and easier removal!

Step-by-Step: How to Install

1. Prep Your Braids

Start with chunky horizontal or vertical cornrows.
Add a top anchor braid near your part for security.
Braid down with a curl at the end—no blunt tips.

2. Crochet the Back

Use your latch hook to pull hair through the cornrow.
Tie it off—the new shorter string keeps it tight and undetectable.
Fill gaps with extra pieces as needed.
Apply root touch-up along the parts for added concealment.

⏱️ Time Check: You can crochet the back in under 1 hour!

3. Style the Front

Add curly hair into your front braids using the feed-in method.
Each braid gets 2–3 curly pieces, secured with edge control.
Want a boho finish? Add a few curly tendrils using your latch hook and blend.

4. Define & Finish

Apply a lightweight mousse (like White Rain) to define curls.
No need to comb out—just finger-style and go.

How to Wear It (Style Ideas)

🌸 Half-Up Half-Down
💃🏽 High Bun or Ponytail
💼 Low Bun for Work
🎶 Boho Braids with Curly Ends
🧳 Travel-Ready Claw Clip Style

You can switch it up depending on your mood, outfit, or occasion. This is your go-everywhere style.

Easy to Remove & Reuse

After 8 days of wear in heat and humidity:

Hair still looked fresh and defined
Removal was a breeze (thanks to the shorter string and larger braids)
No detangling needed—just finger-detangle and store

✨ You can wash and reuse this hair for your next protective style — perfect for twists, boho mini braids, or a fresh install.
