How to Install the TikTok-Trending Crochet Human Hair Style Using Eayon Hair (Complete Guide)

Crochet human hair installs are taking over TikTok, especially the soft, full, water wave textures that give a natural yet glam look with minimal effort. If you’ve been wanting to try the trend, this guide breaks down everything clearly—from coloring and prepping the bundles to crocheting neatly, blending your leave-out, and avoiding the common mistakes beginners make.

This tutorial is based on a real install using Eayon Hair Water Wave Human Hair (20 inches) with four bundles total. Everything below is designed to walk you through the process step-by-step, even if it's your first time.

1. What You Need

To recreate the look, gather:

  • Eayon Hair Water Wave Human Hair (3–5 bundles)

  • Crochet needle

  • Braiding gel or edge control

  • Perm rods (optional for curl definition)

  • Semi-permanent dye (if coloring)

  • Large heat-safe container for boiling water

  • Scissors for trimming and shaping

2. Coloring the Hair Using the Watercolor Method (Optional)

If your natural hair is darker than the bundles, coloring ensures everything blends seamlessly.

How to Do It

  1. Boil water and pour it into a heat-safe bowl or bin.

  2. Add semi-permanent hair dye and mix well.

  3. Submerge the bundles fully in the dyed water.

  4. Let them sit until the color fully saturates.

  5. Remove, rinse, and allow to dry.

This method works well for curly and wavy human hair because it colors without damaging the texture.

3. Prep Your Natural Hair With a Flat Braid Pattern

A neat, flat braid base makes all the difference in how natural and seamless the style looks.

Tips

  • Aim for a flat foundation so hair lays smooth.

  • Leave out hair at the part if you want to blend your real hair.

  • Braid according to your preferred parting (middle, side, or no part).

Even if you don’t braid perfectly, focus on getting the base flat.

4. Start Crocheting at the Front for the Best Results

Starting from the front helps control density and prevents bulkiness at the back.

Crochet Steps

  1. Insert the crochet needle under a braid.

  2. Hook the strand of Eayon Hair onto the latch.

  3. Pull it through to create a loop.

  4. Pull one end of the hair through the loop.

  5. Tighten gently.

Once you get into a rhythm, this becomes very quick and easy.

5. Work in an Organized Pattern (Avoid Random Placement)

If you jump from the front to the back and then to the sides, you’ll almost always miss spots.

Better Method

  • Fill in section by section

  • Or complete one braid before moving to the next

  • Check density before moving on

This gives a more even, full, polished look.

6. Add Hair Until You Reach the Desired Fullness

In this tutorial, about four bundles of Eayon Hair created a full, lightweight style.

Water wave textures expand when brushed out, so add hair gradually and build up as you go.

7. Define or Refresh the Curls

After installation, you can customize how the curls fall.

  • Brush the hair out gently for volume

  • Add perm rods to shape curls

  • Let them air set (human hair doesn’t need hot water)

This creates a soft, natural wave pattern.

8. Blend Your Leave-Out

Use a light braiding gel or edge control to smooth and blend your real hair with the crochet hair.

Expect some curls—especially if your hair naturally curls up when gel is applied. This can actually make the blend look more natural.

9. Trim and Shape the Hair

Water wave bundles usually come in one length. Adding layers instantly elevates the look.

Focus on:

  • Face-framing pieces

  • Soft layers in the front

  • Evening out any bulky or long sections

This final step makes the style look intentional and professional.

5 FAQs

1. How many bundles of Eayon Hair do I need?

Most people need 3–5 bundles depending on:

  • Desired fullness

  • Hair length

  • Head size

For a full, fluffy look, four is ideal.

2. Will the hair shed?

All human hair sheds, but Eayon Hair Water Wave sheds less than expected. Gentle handling helps minimize shedding.

3. Should I begin crocheting in the front or back?

Start at the front. You’ll control density better and avoid making the back bulky.

4. Can I dye Eayon human hair?

Absolutely. Human hair accepts color well. The watercolor method is the easiest and least damaging.

5. How long does a crochet human hair install last?

Generally 3–6 weeks, depending on:

  • Your braid foundation

  • How you maintain the curls

  • Nightly protection (bonnet, satin scarf)
