Why embrace the magic of crochet?
Crochet hair is a secret passed down by hair artists – it’s a silent, luxurious wig that requires no tedious stitching. This thread-woven crown is lightweight and effortless, yet creates a fluffy, voluminous texture that looks like it was made by nature. Once skeptical, Karen Prince has now embraced its merits. “This hair flows more freely than any hairspray I’ve ever used before,” she confesses, with genuine delight.
Essentials of the Craft
Before you start weaving this hair piece, you must have the following sacred tools:
- Crochet hook (purchased from Ywigs, as per Karen's choice)
- A crochet hook - the magic wand of transformation
- A comb for gentle guidance
- Hair cream and light foam for styling and setting
- The magic of water
- A Y2 comb, perfect for teasing strands into a lively split
- Tie and scarf to hold your head up in the arms of sleep
The Ritual of Installation—Step by Step
Preparation: An elegant foundation
1. Purify the hair: Begins with a serious wash—cleansing the hair, refreshing it, and preparing it for the braiding that follows.
2. Braid with heart: Create your own braiding roadmap; opts for a honeycomb spiral look, parted on the side. Three thicker braids dot the heavier side, quietly creating volume.
Installation: Braiding magic
1. Begin the crochet dance: Grab two crocheted strands of hair; slide the needle under the braid—facing upward like the dawn—and pull the hair through an entry. Secure the thread to the braid, securing its place in this unfolding masterpiece.
2. Summon volume: Layers two strands of hair to create volume at the top of her head; tighter braids avoid unsightly gaps. Near the edges she leaves herself, she alternates two or three strands to create plenty of density.
3. Covering the braids: To conceal the underlying structure of the braids, she strategically tucks hair under the strands to create the illusion of an invisible hairline—as seamless as moonlight on water.
4. Finishing the back: At the back of her head, she uses a whole pack of strands—two or three at a time. Under her ears, she draws an invisible quadrant in her mind to ensure fullness in the back.
5. Sculpting: Meticulously measures the fullness of the strands, layer by layer; a dance of symmetry.
The Look: Breathing Life into the Piece
We goes for an airy, dewy beauty—light yet radiant. Here’s how us does it:
1. Applying Serum: A light, moist kiss of lotion; a dollop of foam for a sculptural finish. Each strand is carefully cared for, smoothed by the brush’s grace.
2. Creating the Curls: Three artful curls are created at the ends of each strand—perfect spirals that are as soft as silk in her hands.
3. Blow-Drying Ritual: Air gently dries the strands; we briefly calls on the diffuser to hasten the process.
4. The Final Touch: Gently separating the curls; the Y2 brush gently pokes at the roots, evoking a coveted first-day volume. Our own threads—tiny and secret—are interwoven and fused with the crochet.
Guardian: Keep the spell going
In the embrace of sleep: Keep the spell going by twisting your hair up high in a pineapple bun, wrapping it in a scarf, or gently curling it with elastic or curling irons.
In the dance of untangling: Hold the roots tightly when combing to prevent breakage. Time and patience are your gentle allies.
In the realm of water: If you brave the sea or pool, braid your hair and apply conditioner to protect it from chlorine and salt.
