    My hairstylist have been doing my hair for many years. She charges $150.00 I give her $170.00 plus I buy my own hair.
    I watched you all on you tube and learned how to do it myself to save money for my up coming wedding. When she saw me she thought another hairdresser had done it. Same with my friends.

      The first time I did it, lawd it took me a long time. 3rd time was pretty fast! I didn't cornrow it, my hair is short so I just sectioned it off with hair scrunchies and used a weave cap and crotched my hair using the braidless crotchet method. I take care of kids so I've always been able to do their hair cornrows and all, but not my hair .lol It also depends on the hair you buy if it's too soft it becomes a tangled mess. I'm saving so much money and spending around $40.00 I can change it more frequently.😄

Thanks to Beautycanbraid braid pattern and my Diva Lia Lavon watching Lia Lavons videoSsss helped me tremendously. Sadly because she is so fly the T1B/30 & T1B/27 Waterfall is STILL out of stock, gurl. So I had to make a quick decision and it was a good one. Buy the Hawaiian Silky as well Lia Lavon was right it worked wonders.

    I just did my first deep twist crochet and while I will say the hair is beautiful,it tears apart easily but I did the braids ENTIRELY TOO BIG I don't know what I was thinking smh....... But nonetheless it is a beautiful hair. I used the 3in a pack (one pack)prelooped and it is beautiful. Next time I will get two of those packs just for comfortability but I really love this I just need to learn how to shape cut the hair.... Thanks for all your tips. I'm going to DR in May so I had to give it a try since it was on your recommendations list for being wet.

    I’ve had my crochet braids done by other people several times. When they are done with it, I end up with a lot of hair at the neck and it’s not full at the front and crown like your styles. How do you achieve the look where it’s full at the top and crown and flows perfectly as it falls down your back especially when you use a lot of packs.

    • @TonyaVann

    Lia, I absolutely love your videos! I appreciate the hard work you put into them. I am not new to the crochet game but these tips are so wonderful of you to share!
    A big help for any of us who want a color guide, every brand has a color guide:
    Freestress: www.ebonyline.com/hair-wigs-color-charts-freetress
    Shake n Go: www.snghair.com/Product/ColorChart/
    Model Model: www.modelmodelhair.com/Product/ColorChart
    Overall Reference: store.goldenmartbeautysupply.com/colorchart.html
    In front of every hair color you will see a letter guide (for example T1b30, the "T" means Solid color with varying shades of that same color is placed in the hair for a natural blend)
    QUICK COLOR GUIDE:
    DE- Dipped Ends. Basically another form of ombre but not as gradual as ombre but a distinct contrast between solid color and ends of hair
    P- Piano Colors (think of a piano, same amount of rotating 2 colors)
    F- Frosted colors (sprinkles of light color throughout the hair)
    GF- low lights and highlights with base color
    3T- 3 colors that usually go from light to dark
    T- Solid color strands are in the hair by varying color, thickness & length
    TT- Top and Bottom- solid base color with highlight color towards ends
    TP- Tipped Color- mixed color blends with solid colored ends
    TF- Top color solid, bottom color frosted or highlight color
    OM- Ombre- solid base color that slowly fades to lighter ends
    :) Hope this helps!

      Kristina I just checked them out. I’m confused a little by the site though just in terms of the hairs and the prices. They seem to be a little higher and I can’t tell the brands. Like there is a picture of Tianaawoah on the site and it says Bahamas Curl but I know from her video that hair was from Outre. It’s just not on the site for some reason.

      Yes some of their hair that they sale we already know about just by looking at them, but they have other crochet hair like Malaysian, Egyptian curl, Tiffany, Spanish curl which comes in bundles for that price, yes a bit more pricey then out standard crochet hair, but I’m thinking of ordering for my birthday and special occasions. I’ll let you know how it goes, I really want to try the Malaysian curl.

    Does anyone have a video on how to wash the crochet hair before installation? What do you use? How do you dry it? I didn't know it could be washed.

      I wash and condition mine when installed every week or so. Just be gentle, I also let it air dry. It dries pretty fast.

      Hey OrenjiOrange there are a lot of pre-install ACV rinse hair videos. Try putting in the search ACV rinse braiding hair you should watch several to help with your decision.

    6 hours way too long for crochet 2hours should be the max. Plus it's not worth paying too much to get it done. The hit only lasts 2weeks before it starts to frizz or get dry and crunchy. Twist styles last longer.Or loc styles.
