Leondria Gordon-Godfrey I've sat through individual box braids and with all my thick ass hair, yes it takes forever but I think the regular crotchet method would still be better and save more time. This really seems like a lot especially for someone with a lot of hair.
i loved it and i do hair too so this will save alot of time. those that are complaining need to chill. she showing yall another method to help save you 2 3 extra hours of work. if you feel the steps was too much then find a way to make it your own..you dont have to do it the same way she did. this way just works for her. she gave you the idea now you make it your own. simple as that.
this is a lifesaver! I've always wanted to do my own box braids but I can't latch tight enough to make it look neat. I can definately rock with this! Thanks! No more 6 hour braiding sessions!
Thank God there are new methods for putting in braids. People are out here walking around BALD after spending their money and sitting for hours to have braids installed. This is a much simpler method I can tolerate and possibly do myself.I simply vowed to never again get my hair braided because of the pain. Good tutorial.
I have been doing my teenage daughters hair for 2 years because the pain is so great. Then 6 months ago I discovered this method. So far so good for the health of her hair. I am not a pro but the braids look good and last for months. She is happy with the results and the little pain I cause her.
Girl im people. I got some bomb Senegalese twists in January 2015. I took them out and legit had a mohawk. 4 years later my edges are still sad af. That was the last time I got my hair braided. I do my own hair.
Really cute! An hour from the time you start putting in the crocheted braids maybe, but definitely not an hour when one factors in the time that it takes to do the individual plaits.
This is awesome and you get to keep your edges. This is not to much work. It's better than sitting 8 hours and over paying. I love this method and the style. Thank you.
OH MY GOSH I have been doing it the long way for way too long. I used to loop my hair through one by one so each braid would take about 5 minutes. Such a lifesaver!!! Thank you!!!
I did my daughters hair like this this weekend, but the way you pulled the hair through the entire braid😱😱😱😱😱! I never thought to do it like that. Thanx for the tip.
I did this style crochet for my daughter back to school hairstyle and we both love it. For me it was faster than doing the original box braids and the hair can be reused.
I love ❤ the crochet braids thick and full like this I going to do this in a high ponytail style but combo it Red hair done on top and Black 🖤 hair in the back.💯
These simple styles really help for ppl like me. I have 4 daughters! And paying for hair to be done at the salon is too much these days. When I was growing up box braids were 70-90 dollars. Now your paying no less than $160 and that’s just the starter price for the more simpler braids! But this right here I can DEFINITELY do on my own for 50 bucks and maybe less! I always have the other products i need such as edge gel, hair spray etc. so all I need to do is just purchase the hair! Thank you so much!
This whole process did not take one hour. Maybe the actual installation took one hour, but braiding her hair + installing the crochet braids? There’s no way all of that took only one hour.
Yass..i ambitiously bought some 30" crochet braid had them installed. They looked great; but i had to take down after 2 wks because they were so heavy...i plan to redo them myself with less hair this time. I like the no cornrow crochet style so will be using this method. Thanks for posting. !!!
I am convinced this will put over priced hair braiders out of business and sitting so long getting the my daughter hair done. Bless you for this video. .
I for one LOVE this tutorial! I don't cornrow that well and I couldn't quite get the box braiding technique down. I like this technique because it doesn't appear to put too much strain on your natural hair. Yes, it does look like double duty but, for us challenged women who want the box-braid look, and want it done cheaply, this is the way to go.
These diy styles are a God sent to me.... however I'm sure the shops are not liking all of these new techniques but hey the same way they have a given right to make money we also have a given right to save money! And it cuts out so many hours in a short chair that I truly don't have 🙄😮
I tried this on my daughter's hair and couldn't find a way to hide her hair in between the crochet braids, now I'm going to use your way. Thank you Freedom Styles for this video. Your work is amazing. Many blessings to you 😘
Thank you!! Very nice! I knew the day would come for an illusion neat box braids (that no longer require 5-10 hours) of sitting in the salon chair! This technique of crochet is beginning to reign! Very chic and lovely on any given occasion. ☆☆☆☆☆♡
Ppl that are complaining must not be PROFESSIONAL hairstylist or braiders because this right here is FANTASTIC especially for stylist as myself whom developed carpal tunnel
This is perfect for my ombre hair. I love the hair but hated the idea of throwing it away when the roots grew. I also don't like the cornrows with braids because it always looks too bulky. Now I can reuse the hair and my hair will stay neater longer andddddd. It's a win win. Thank you!
nicely done. I did this technique on my daughter. It took 4 hours...then again I am not a professional hair stylist so....kudos that you were able to complete in 1 hour
This took me two days to do. It lasted for about a month. The take down process was even harder, i started at 6pm and ended at 3am. You have to cut the braids at the end, take it unloose, and then you have to take YOUR hair out of those REALLY SMALL braids. Cornrows are painful but easier!
This only works well when you have the same hair color as the crochet hair. My hair is two toned and unique to any color I ever found in crochets. Right now cornrows work best for me because they help hide my color issue but I love the way your crochets are done. Great idea! 😎
I've never seen it done thus way. I like this much better than the braids to the back or rubber back method. You can get more styles out it. I like it.
Wow.. thats like saying she would look better w make up on or ur trying to say she needs makeup.. u probably didnt mean it that way but thats how it sounded
I meant it in a good way, she's so beautiful without makeup on, now with her hair done, I'd like to see her with makeup on. Also, her natural hair is very pretty!
Bernice B I'm confused is she beautiful or does she need make up. A beautiful person doesn't need make up. Are you just saying she could enhance her beauty with makeup.
What I'm saying is that she has the pretty face to wear makeup, it's like her face was made to wear makeup. She is naturally beautiful and she really doesn't need to wear makeup.
I wasn’t a fan of the way her baby hair was gelled down but other than that I LOVE LOVE LOVE the hair style and I plan on trying it here soon!!!!!!!!! So much faster than regular box braids. And looks like it would last about the same about of time too. I’m definitely subscribing ❤️❤️
This looks like a lot of extra work BUT to me it’s less tension on the natural hair & no hard 1st week of sleeping due to the tightness of regular box braids. And this looks way more natural than the regular cornrow crochet method with box braids. I’ve had that & it never looked natural enough for me. Great video & great alternative!
See I never knew these existed lol. I am scheduled to get my hair done in 2 weeks. Now watching this video got me about to cancel my appointment and go to my local beauty supply store and see if they have these crochet braids and have my sister experiment on my head lol. I like this method better than all the cornrow method. This method give it that natural look and can do more styles. My question is are they have on your head?
My girlfriend that usually do my braids will be moving soon and I do not trust anyone else with my hair :( but thank you so much for this tutorial! I will be doing this method on myself when she move! These braids look amazing!
Couldn't have...Putting all those plats alone had to take about 30 to 40 minutes...This method is good for your parameter, so you don't put tension on your edges, but I'd crochet the rest in.
Ok...I wonder why separate the time it took plating the hair and the time it took crocheting the hair into each plat? Why not add the times together since it's all for that one style.
For anyone who says this is too much work they've probably never had real box braids done!!! This is a life saver method!!!

Leondria Gordon-Godfrey so true and these aren't as heavy

Why didn't they have pre-braided hair back in the day when I had to sit in a chair for 6 HOURS getting box braids???
Ah I see. Funny, I can't remember ever seeing this in the beauty supply stores back then.
I agree!!! This is the best thing ever! Now I'm trying to do it myself!
irulan technology! More await to be seen.
only 6 hours? lucky you..for whatever braids take 10-14 hours
That's what I said. 😂 spend all day sitting on the damn floor.
Your model is very pretty. Smile like sunshine. Hair came out perfect 😀
i loved it and i do hair too so this will save alot of time. those that are complaining need to chill. she showing yall another method to help save you 2 3 extra hours of work. if you feel the steps was too much then find a way to make it your own..you dont have to do it the same way she did. this way just works for her. she gave you the idea now you make it your own. simple as that.

Omg you have no idea how long it takes to do super long box braids at home when you have thick hair! Thank you so much, you are a lifesaver!

How is this too much back and forth. At least your hair is not tight. This is a good method.
Yep!
Girl your edges are so healthy! A+!
Another beautiful protective style. Keep them coming sis.x

I need that comb what’s it called?
honestly this is the best no cornrow crochet video i have ever seen. thank you
How does this seem like a lot? The whole process took hour. Regular box braids take 3-6 hours.
This whole process did not take one hour. Maybe the actual installation took one hour, but braiding her hair + installing the crochet braids? There’s no way all of that took only one hour.

1 Cor 13:4-8 Love is patient. Love is kind. Love does not boast or dishonor others. Five paks were used (12 braids per pak).
I am convinced this will put over priced hair braiders out of business and sitting so long getting the my daughter hair done. Bless you for this video. .
How can anybody give those a thumbs down?? This is so neat and genius. 👍👍
This is such a life saver. I really don't like doing braids like that but you definitely just changed the game up. This is genius!

This is really nice and I like that you used sulfur 8 because it makes your hair grow
Thank you!! Very nice!
I knew the day would come for an illusion neat box braids (that no longer require 5-10 hours) of sitting in the salon chair! This technique of crochet is beginning to reign! Very chic and lovely on any given occasion. ☆☆☆☆☆♡
this is the easiest crotchet box braid method I've seen so far!
Ordering my crochet braids asap!
Thank you for showing us this!
Ppl that are complaining must not be PROFESSIONAL hairstylist or braiders because this right here is FANTASTIC especially for stylist as myself whom developed carpal tunnel
The way you wove her hair through the braid omg. You just saved me so much time!
This is perfect for my ombre hair. I love the hair but hated the idea of throwing it away when the roots grew. I also don't like the cornrows with braids because it always looks too bulky. Now I can reuse the hair and my hair will stay neater longer andddddd. It's a win win. Thank you!

One of the best tutorials ever! And you get to keep your edges!
Love this! Can't wait to do my daughter's hair and the braids finally came in the mail. Thank you for suggesting this company.
This took me two days to do. It lasted for about a month. The take down process was even harder, i started at 6pm and ended at 3am. You have to cut the braids at the end, take it unloose, and then you have to take YOUR hair out of those REALLY SMALL braids. Cornrows are painful but easier!
WOWW SIS IS YOU MAKE YOUR TUTORIALSS LOOK

Freedom Styles looking good I will wear that hair
Nicely done. Neat and beautiful work. Your model is a joy to watch. She's lovin' those braids!!
This only works well when you have the same hair color as the crochet hair. My hair is two toned and unique to any color I ever found in crochets. Right now cornrows work best for me because they help hide my color issue but I love the way your crochets are done. Great idea! 😎
Thank You. I get so tried of paying for braids. Peace @love 💋
I've never seen it done thus way. I like this much better than the braids to the back or rubber back method. You can get more styles out it. I like it.
Found the exact same hair at my beauty supply, going to try this on my daughters hair this weekend...yass!
Ohmygosh! This is a wonderful video! Now I can save $$$$ doing my own hair! Thank you so very much for sharing this with the world.
This looks amazing a very happy and vibrant client ♥️
if you are attempting to do your own hair I think it will be more than an hour, especially if it your first time doing it.
Amanda Midgette my thoughts exactly! 1-2 hours realistically
Hi Freedom, you did a excellent job on her hair. Your friend is very beautiful and her face would look very pretty with makeup on!
Wow.. thats like saying she would look better w make up on or ur trying to say she needs makeup.. u probably didnt mean it that way but thats how it sounded
I meant it in a good way, she's so beautiful without makeup on, now with her hair done, I'd like to see her with makeup on. Also, her natural hair is very pretty!
Bernice B I'm confused is she beautiful or does she need make up. A beautiful person doesn't need make up. Are you just saying she could enhance her beauty with makeup.
What I'm saying is that she has the pretty face to wear makeup, it's like her face was made to wear makeup. She is naturally beautiful and she really doesn't need to wear makeup.
oh my goodness..... this is just straight fabulous... time saver, easier on the natural hair..
I wasn’t a fan of the way her baby hair was gelled down but other than that I LOVE LOVE LOVE the hair style and I plan on trying it here soon!!!!!!!!! So much faster than regular box braids. And looks like it would last about the same about of time too. I’m definitely subscribing ❤️❤️

love this technique, no rubber bands or cornrows AWESOME!
This looks like a lot of extra work BUT to me it’s less tension on the natural hair & no hard 1st week of sleeping due to the tightness of regular box braids. And this looks way more natural than the regular cornrow crochet method with box braids. I’ve had that & it never looked natural enough for me. Great video & great alternative!
I been looking for a video like this for 2 hrs and I finally found it
Freedom you have gifted hands sis. Your techniques and hair styles are art work.😉
I'm gonna try this technique. Seems so easy and perfect me. Thanks!
LOVE this as a tension-free alternative! I imagine it's at least considerably less tension on the hairs at the root which is impt to me
the hair is very pretty, I like the shine!

sulfur 8 smells like pain
Temilayo Olufemi lol lol 😆😆😆
Temilayo Olufemi I was wondering why so much sulfur 8 was being used 😂😂
😂😂😂
for those who don't know sulphur8 is medicated and keeps the scalp from drying and/or itching so much
Temilayo Olufemi you ain't neva lied! 😂 I was thinking "Oh no, I couldn't deal with the smell of THAT much Sulphur 8!"
easiest method seen so far...thanks
Wow...you are talented girl
OMG, great alternative to traditional box braids!
You just taught me an easier way to thread my hair in to the braid. I my thank you!
Okay, this is mind blowing af!
J'aime ta simplicité. reste ainsi!
First comment wonderful. Good job again Freedom. keep up the good work and i and mom will be watching. Thanks
Thanks Dear
you are welcome
you are welcome
looks like a perfect method for sensitive scalp and protecting your edges from pulling!
I will have to try this method. Looks like actual box braids.
Can't wait to try this! I can't cornrow so this is great!
I know how to crochet the braid but you just showed me a faster way to pull the real braid through the fake one. Thank you
wonderfully done.. soooo creative!!!!
thank you ...was looking for a video like this....nicely done
Did this really take one hour?? You're really quick!
Couldn't have...Putting all those plats alone had to take about 30 to 40 minutes...This method is good for your parameter, so you don't put tension on your edges, but I'd crochet the rest in.
The hair was already plaited, the link is in the description
Ok...I wonder why separate the time it took plating the hair and the time it took crocheting the hair into each plat? Why not add the times together since it's all for that one style.
Rondell Sherard exactly! It's like she only said "one hour" to get more views...
That's exactly why...
