Girl this video was AMAZING. So detailed, clear to understand, easy to the eyes, etc. You did an amazing job. Thank you for taking the time to do this and sharing.
The Emmy Nominee Hair Awards goes to Raven👏🌷🎂... Im impress by far the best Crochet braids. I usually take mine out after a couple of weeks... Still trying to get your braiding pattern down... Especially the front with braids that you can take out and refresh....
FANTASTIC!!! A FELLOW BRIT THAT I CAN FOLLOW! your method is perfect! you're making me want to come to you to have my hair done before my Mr man get's here!! *cries inside* much love x thank you x
Wow you are amazing, I know you hear this a lot. You help me and other girls who are not good at sew ins, or can’t afford the expensive hair, give us the option of crochet braids and the versatility.
Very well done. At first I thought the washing and refreshing was too much work but then it's worth the effort and the couple hundreds of dollars saved to do it this way. Besides it looks great, fresh and you're good to go for another couple of weeks. FABULOUS!
Thank you, I love the way you explain, simplify, show everything. Funny how I had all those questions about what hair you use, how you straighten or curl and you answered all of them without me having to ask... great video, you are beautiful, l love your style and tone and voice. Happy healthy successful year everybody!
ur a genius I can watch u work this hair all day n still be amazed I will by over here in the states n try my best to pull off ur beautiful work. luv ur videos keep making thank u
You are such a lovely person. I really enjoy your channel. Keep spreading joy and positivity. Hope to see you in the USA, especially Texas one day. GOD bless.
Thank you for all your detailed videos, and for taking the time to pay attention and answer the questions asked. Just beautiful. You make this look so easy, that I really want to give this a try. I hate doing my hair. Fingers crossed and many prayers, that I get similar results. God bless you.
thank u raven, I love how u do this! I have watch all ur videos and I cant find where u cut your silver gray ombre hair into a bob!??? plz guide me!!! bc im constantly crocheting my hair all the time!!! But the best thing about you Raven Navera is how relaxed and comfortable you are in your own skin I love it! U sit in your real skin like a Queen sits comfortably in her thrown. And I love you for that! bc it isnt and the society makes us women of color or just women period, they are not teaching us to LOVE OURSELVES! I struggled with that all thru out life and still do. So thank u Raven for reversing that back and teach us women of all races how to love ourselves and be happy and comfortable in our own skin!!! U just know how thankful I am how proud of u like I know, I am! keep it up girly!!! ;)
Ok thank you! I can't wait! Ive watched just about all ur videos! And im so encouraged and ready to start my own diet and work out journey and eat more healthier foods. Those dishes u make look very yummy!!! Again thank you Raven! ;)
amazing I'm going to try this great idea to refreshed the hair, awesome protective style, great way to look beautiful on a budget. very detailed and informative video. 😉😘thank u #subscribed
just watched your video and I love how u were so detailed and it looks so easy!! Not many videos on how to wash this kind of hair and I plan on doing some soon and I have to wash my hair!! So thanks so much for the video ur hair is beutiful and u look lovely!!!
love the video and the crochet braids. I I've tried crochet braids myself it looked ok but not perfect like yours, I have trouble braiding my natural hair into the right pattern and I've tried. your tutorials are helpful but do you crochet braid other people's hair cause I would really like my hair to be done your way.
I am SUPER late. Lol but i love this crochet series. If u still do ur hair like this, u may want to try just taking out ur anchor braids to remove the knots. They fall right out when unravel the braids...❤
Great Video! Does this hair getting frizzy in humidity? Just wondering if I should wear it like this for a destination wedding in JA in the dead of summer...
Thanks for the video! My questions: How many packs did you use in your hair? How often do you have to repeat the flat iron process for maintenance after the hair is installed? Did you add any products on the hair when flat ironing?
Raven you have a beautiful, beautiful voice and totally creative person. Thank you for sharing. I'm going on holiday to Crete and would love to get my head under the sea water so would love to do this hairstyle: 1) Please can I ask about washing 'Mali Hair first as I am allergic to the 'film' that is on Kanekalon and this kind of hair. Is it still possible to get the same results after washing this in a bundle first? 2) Also I have very thin hair due to diffuse traction alopecia along with thinning edges. So for example I think I could do about 15 rows at the front on my scalp, but the corn row would be thin. Does it make sense to try this style or use curly extensions. Curly extensions doesn't really suit my face.
I love your tutorials, I'm totally using it when I go back to school. But I have a question, how many times can you straighten the hair with a flat iron? Also will the hair hold up longer if you curl it with flexi rods and hot water?
I know this is extremely late, but I have an upcoming cruise and I wanted to know if you can put this hair up. I want to wear buns and ponytails, would that be possible? Anyway, you've inspired me to wear crochet, thank you for all of your videos, I love em!
Hey raven this is an old video but I really liked your crochet braids tutorial. I am a complete novice but have been natural for about 5 years now. I am going on vacation (cruise) in two weeks and was wondering if you've ever swam in your crochet braids? If so have you swan in this texture? Have you ever used a curly texture to crochet braid? I am really stressing having to deal with styling my hair while on vacation but I keep reading that you shouldn't swim with synthetic hair extensions. I just need all kinds of help!
Are your eyes dark brown or black!? They're gorgeous 😍😍😍 I think that black/dark brown eyes are so pretty and so piercing and beautiful!!! 😍😍 I wish I had dark brown eyes 😞 my eyes are a light brown/hazel
Have you gone swimming or done water sports with this hair? (feel like I saw a pic with you at beach or pool) If so what was the experience? Any advice? I want to be able to go to beach and not avoid water.
Raven Navera hi sweetie..i love your hearings style..could you tell me where you bought those in particular..thank you so much.. i am also an obsece in hearing..😘
thank you so so so much! the refreshing method is SO clever! I am definately going to do this! totally fell in love with your channel! Merry Christmas!
Can you continuously use gel control without it breaking your hair, or would you have to wash it out after every use. If you can what gel control do you use?
I just finished installing the 1b Marley hair by Janet Nor. I followed instructions from your video to install but varied a bit shorter on the cut & trim to jus below the shoulder w/longer layers on top. I have to say it looks amazing!!! I did the side & middle parts too. I did include the leave-in conditioner & blow dried the hair but it still looked somewhat dry afterwards. Is there a particular brand of leave - in conditioner that you use? If so, please share. I though using the hot water method with big soft bendable rods would make the hair more glossy or less dry Still wet so can't tell but the ends seem top have a little frizz. I think I may flat iron on low heat next. Do you use any other products on the Marley hair to maintain silky sheen & softness on a daily basis? How often do you flat iron or curl since thus is synthetic hair? Thanks again. Overall, I'm satisfied with the outcome & looking forward to having fun with my new style. Just need a few more maintenance tips to help me along & enjoy this new journey. God bless!!!
+Monita McLaurin Hi Monita, I'm so glad you tried it! I don't have any particular brand of leave in that I use. sometimes I also don't use a leave in but use a normal cheap conditioner and leave that in in that case I use A LOT! for the straight style try wetting the hair thoroughly and then adding conditioner from the part nearest to your roots (but not on your actual cornrows of course) and concentrate on the ends. do not wash this out. towel dry slightly and then blow dry straight with a paddle brush. After this straighten the hair. I straighten the hair when ever I feel it needs straightening as long as the heat is low it doesn't damage the hair. For the curly rods style I prefer the hard small plastic rods as bendable rods make it look more like afro curls
Hi Raven!!! Yes, I will try that too; thanks. Just washed it with some Tresemme Conditioner & also used some Infusium leave-in conditioner. I will get some "knock off" leave-in brand later but that's the only thing under my sink right now. I think I'm really afraid of burning or melting the hair so I didn't blow dry is really good right after I installed it earlier. Once I washed it w/conditioner & blow dried it again (a little longer) it now looks less dry. Also, you were right about the soft bendable roller & water; my curls did look like an afro which prompted me to wash it. About to try flat irons now on low. Thank you again.....
Do you have a vid on your braid pattern??I love this vid I've been searching high and low for a vid like this.Second can you do this with the twist and box bread crochet style??
Hey, great channel! Learning so much. Just wondering if you'd recommend leaving out edges if you often have your hair up, dunno what's best for my edges
Finally a hair video which actually takes time to explain every aspect of dealing with a particular type of hairstyle , much appreciated
Girl this video was AMAZING. So detailed, clear to understand, easy to the eyes, etc. You did an amazing job. Thank you for taking the time to do this and sharing.

Hey Raven If you don't mind, please send a link of the braid/hair that you used.
first I absolutely love your video ! I plan to do this for my back-to-school hairstyle. but how much does the hair cost?
Iove your hair styling tips and tutorial!!!

Do you have a vid on your braid pattern??I love this vid I've been searching high and low for a vid like this.Second can you do this with the twist and box bread crochet style??
Nice video, thanks for sharing and looking forward to more of these👌👌
Because of the way you put it in and knot it, is cutting the hair the only way to remove them?
Hey, great channel! Learning so much. Just wondering if you'd recommend leaving out edges if you often have your hair up, dunno what's best for my edges
Hi, yea if you have your hair up you'll have to do a vixen crochet braid. check here ua-cam.com/video/w7ykILz9pXQ/v-deo.html
This is amazing! So beautiful on you. Definitely inspired me to experiment with my Marley hair 🙆🏾
