Caring for your hair while in a crochet hairstyle is essential to maintain healthy hair and prolong the life of the style. Here are some tips to help you care for your hair while wearing crochet braids:

Moisturize regularly
Keep your hair moisturized by using a leave-in conditioner or a moisturizing spray. This will help prevent your natural hair from becoming dry and brittle.


Cleanse your scalp:
 It's important to keep your scalp clean to avoid product buildup and potential scalp issues. Dilute some shampoo with water and gently cleanse your scalp, focusing on the roots. Rinse thoroughly.


Avoid excessive tension:
 Ensure that the crochet braids are not installed too tightly, as this can cause tension on your natural hair and scalp. Excessive tension can lead to breakage and discomfort.

Sleep with a satin scarf or bonnet:
Before going to bed, protect your crochet braids by wrapping your hair with a satin scarf or using a satin bonnet. This helps reduce friction and keeps your style intact.

Limit the use of heat:
Minimize the use of heat styling tools like flat irons and curling wands on your crochet braids. Excessive heat can damage both the braiding hair and your natural hair.

Avoid over-styling:
While it's tempting to try different hairstyles with crochet braids, excessive manipulation can lead to tangling and frizz. Stick to simple styles to preserve the integrity of the braids.

Protect your hair at night:
When going to bed, gather your crochet braids into a loose ponytail or pineapple to minimize tangling while you sleep.

Regular maintenance:
Depending on the type of hair used and the growth of your natural hair, you may need to refresh or reinstall the crochet braids after a few weeks. Follow the recommended timeline for maintenance to prevent damage to your natural hair.

By following these tips, you can ensure that your hair remains healthy and your crochet hairstyle looks great throughout its duration. Remember to listen to your hair's needs and adjust your care routine accordingly.

What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair.

Moisturize Regularly: • Dry hair is more prone to breakage, so keep it hydrated. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut
