Crochet Braids: Mixing Curls and Colors

[@sydneytaylercolbert]

I really like the fact that you used two hair textures, SEPARATED the curls, and fluffed them up! I hate when people put in crochet hair and leave the curls looking stiff, uniform, and tight. I know everybody hates frizziness but thats what makes the hair looks natural!! Nobody has perfectly formed curls from top to bottom...Very cute hairstyle!

[@beautybycajjac]

Sydney Thanks!

[@vamp4403]

Agreed, it's something about having the same exact curl that has the same density, color, all over that makes it looks manufactured

[@cajones8437]

There are many tutorials on braiding and the invisible part. But..you are the first one I watched....that didn't demonstrate so fast...that those of us who NEVER crochet before...CANNOT understand. THANK YOU!!!!! for going slow... and taking time to actually show HOW to put in an invisible track!!!!!

[@starhamilton1072]

Your natural hair is giving me life god I love your texture 😩😩😩😩

[@beautybycajjac]

King Javonique Thanks!!!

[@Madisonchasefitness]

Yes Your Natural Hair is amazing, and I love the braiding pattern, it's so easy for people like me who can braid..... but not a braid professional. I will definitely be trying your braiding pattern and using the needle and braiding thread to braid your hair down.

[@shaniawilliams8408]

This style on you reminds me of the women singer (angles) from Hercules the movies. I LOVE IT SO MUCH

[@ztarr]

Right she actually kind of look like her. Super cute.

[@Sweetsweetraven]

The muses? :)

[@ztarr]

I've been mixing textures for about 2 years now and I love it!! So much more natural looking when all the curls aren't exactly the same. This style looked amazing but I could never handle that much hair girl, you good! Another small tip is that when your crochet is getting older to the point where it's not the "good old" just add a few more new pieces to the front and cut any scraggly pieces. This'll refresh the look a little bit until you're ready to take it out.

[@chbaker3592]

Oh my!!!! You are sooo creative, and you sooo solved the " baby hair" issue. And, you look FAB guurl!!!!

[@EpiphanyBlack]

That crochet baby hair was a game changer tho. Dope. New subbie because I searched for this exact thing (mixing textures, specifically) and there wasn't any tutorials for it.

[@bobbyballard9768]

Saved

[@angelaread3715]

I love how you alternated the different hair textures and colors. Beautiful!

[@rondas.2175]

girllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll I had given up on these freetress crochet styles but this video just made me wanna go back for one more try.

[@dnaiyabenford8082]

You won’t believe how much I was just stressing going through my history trying to find your video again!😭💗I absolutely love this hairstyle

[@Chelsea-gs7qj]

That crochet was bomb af, and your natural hair is high key also really pretty. Your whole look is a 10, can I buy you a drink lol?

[@newnew1419]

Love it.. I love the volume, length, colors and the little short pieces in the front. I remember my first time doing this style on my daughter’s hair. My daughter’s hair came out so beautiful and she loves💗it. Her hair grew so much from the protective styles. I’m 💯% a crocheter for life and if your natural this is for you.

[@nikkilargo]

5 years later… I always revisit this video when I do my color placement of my ttb30/ttb33 at the top of my head. You have no idea how helpful this vid has been for me every single time. Thank you for sharing it with us!

[@beautybycajjac]

Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

[@nikkilargo]

Back again before my spring break shoots off. Can’t help it at this point. You’re welcome!

[@johngirard8554]

This mixing curl's an colors,an long length looks beautiful, Good job well done.

[@jjacks57]

wayyyy to much hair for me. I see the potential though. I would try spacing MRE if I attempted

[@missybugatti3987]

I’ve watched several crochet braid vids but yours is the first one that shows in-depth footage of getting the hairline so perfect & snatched! It’s like you created baby hairs in the very front...TFS 😩❤️on my second crochet install I will do better 👍🏽😊

[@amEAGLEBABY5]

best fuckin crotchet vid I've seen thus far !!!! this is how it should b done ..alot of hair but looks natural and super blended ! 👌👌

[@beautybycajjac]

amEAGLEBABY5 Thanks!!!

[@mystarlife]

Who has this much hair?! Not even the hairiest woman doesn't have this much hair. 7 packs is waaay too much.

[@rochelleakos]

your aura is so warm! be safe 💗

[@laylace1391]

I like the way you do the things you do with hair 😍👍💯

[@ladyshyyebryant2333]

Your natural hair is BEAUTIFUL! if My Natural hair was your texture and length ;I would e for even in plays and twists. Gorgeous! so spongy and soft looking.😀😃

[@beautybycajjac]

Ladyshyye Bryant Thanks !!!

[@AmoreAmoraa00]

I love this so much. The color. The textures ugh so beautiful

[@mhi.2458]

Your crochet came out Great! I love the idea of mixing colors and curl patterns. I've always thought that would make weaves/ wigs look so natural. And that baby hair idea was very clever. I've been trying to find way to make my hair look more natural. I loved this video and I will be looking forward to more of your videos!!!

[@Rue100]

Love ..love love it ..big hair is EVERYTHING. ..and those baby hairs using the crochet hair was brilliant. .thanks I'm going to try that asap !!!

[@DutchessJones]

Beautiful! So professional! And the color contrast looks like something out of magazine

[@markeetamariah]

I tried this not too long ago and the colors went so well with my complexion. Thaaank Youuu!

[@beautybycajjac]

Markeeta Davis Dope!!! Any time!

You look absolutely divine! Stealing this look sis

[@beautybycajjac]

Aurélie Zinaida V. Thanks😊

[@britneyk3050]

You remind me of actress Trina Mcgee as Angela in girl meets world ! So pretty and his hairstyle is gorgeous And looks amazing. For me I would use a lil less hair I’m not really used to big hair just yet 😫😂

[@daylahjanise1437]

This looks super cute on you!

[@JG-4real]

FANTASTIC! I haven't seen anyone play with curls and colors like that. it looks great!

[@tdehooi]

[@alaina_kenyetta]

[@hangingwiththemcclures5545]

Yeesssssss! You did that hun!! I am loving the color variations as well as the baby hairs. Nice!!

[@karenpatterson3533]

It fits you so well; Lovin it..!

[@iamddanni]

Looks full and cute. Yassssss! (I used 4 and 1b for my Bohemian curls, they looks to cute together the 4 and 1b

[@TaneshiaNicole]

I love this. I’ve been curious how mixing these exact textures would look and I’m mesmerized. I wanted to try the deep twist but I also love the Barbadian texture too. I can’t wait to install this hair soon. I love big curly hair so the thickness of this doesn’t put me off at all. It’s my Leo nature lol. Thanks for sharing. ❤️

[@oyin5588]

I want to know if she started with the barbarian braid or deep twist first, going up

[@BecomingAlexondria]

OMG IM IN LOVE WITH THIS😍😍😍 I Can't Wait To Try This🙌🏾 &I Love How You Did The Baby Hairs & I've Been Looking For A Style Like This With Crochet Braids For The Longest. Thank You So Much For This Video!!!

[@BecomingAlexondria]

And Also LOVEEE The Natural Hair💁🏾YASS Work Queen Work👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@SnuggleBunny.]

Thanks for this! I am going on Amazon and buying these 2 curl patterns, right now!

[@quelzmoments6145]

love this mixing of the curls! great idea. the braid pattern was a bit over the top but hey that's what you like. I would just braid st8 back.

[@beautybycajjac]

Quelz Moments Thanks!!! Ur right 😂 I didn't notice I had done so many braids until I started editing the footage.

[@arianna979]

looking like sza..you go girl👏👏😍😍😍

[@aqu4amarine142]

How long did this style take??????

[@thick_browedbeaut6036]

What would be a good dupe for the Barbadian hair I couldn't find it at my beauty supply store

[@beautybycajjac]

Thick_BrowedBeaut For some reason the Barbadian braid is harder to find. It's such a great curl I can't really compare it to anything else. But if I had to compare it maybe aruba curl...maybe. I always have to order Barbadian braid off amazon it's worth it though. Hope this helps!😊

[@thick_browedbeaut6036]

Chelsea McClinton ok thank you I'll try that

[@LetmeCThis1]

I love this! I'm going to do 3 packs instead of 6. like 1 pack of every pack you did. because i don't want it as full and thick. Cause i. short. trying to figure out how to make this look natural looking on me...😞

[@beautybycajjac]

LetmeCThis1 Definitely 😊. Trust me using 6 packs is intense😄. Three packs will look great on u! Always go with ur gut instinct.

[@beautybycajjac]

LetmeCThis1 Oh and don't stress about making it look natural. Just keep practicing. I mess up every time I try something new. U got it😉.

[@lenaphilippe4131]

This hairstyle is genius. How did you sew the braids (underneath the style) together please 😢

[@beautybycajjac]

Lena Philippe 😄 U just need a weaving needle and weaving thread. No rhyme or reason to how I sew them down. Use bobby pins to hold the braids down then sew them down in place 😁

[@lenaphilippe4131]

Chelsea McClinton Okay, thanks !

[@Madisonchasefitness]

Love the different blends of all the colors. Will definitely being trying this crochet style this week. Thank you for sharing your braiding method and your hair is so healthy and thick I thought you had crochet hair in before you braided your natural hair. New sub here and thanks for sharing!

[@beautybycajjac]

MS Chase Thanks!!!

[@irene999]

does this hair tangle,shed and/or matt? its beautiful

[@beautybycajjac]

Valerie Martin Yes, yes, and yes 😆😁. I did a 4 week update video. If u want to check how the hair aged, the video is on my channel.

[@val8033]

Chelsea McClinton lol ok! Thanks❤

[@user-dq9rr9mv3f]

good vid... naturally curly girls will tell you that they have several different curl patterns... so any curly style should have a minimum of 2 different curls...

[@Justbrowsing2023]

This is sooo pretty!!

[@mjay5390]

Chelsea did you literally do 1 for 1 in terms of alternating the two curl patterns - or was it more random?

[@beautybycajjac]

M Jay I did a little of both but for the most part I alternated each curl 1 for 1.

[@b.freeman2118]

Really beautiful job and the end result definitely looked super natural. If I wanted the same look, but less volume .... I read that you said 3-4 packs can do the job. So would it be just be one of each of the 4-5 different curl patterns. ?

[@TheKingsDaughter1995]

How long does this style last??

[@donar.8317]

The best one I've seen 😍

[@SashaFearless]

Beautiful job

[@dangelaowens4983]

DO YOU KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THEY HAVE THIS HAIR IN A NUMBER 1b nuber 4 AND NUMBER 27 OMBRE ?

[@kelseyissastar]

Came out very natural

[@lbee8247]

You did such a beautiful job. How long did it last? Are there issues that arise is care and maintenance from using different colors and curls that don't happen when the hair is all identical? Is there any curl patterns you shouldn't mix?

[@bgurley1998]

this is super cute!

[@MALogan-tc8sh]

the color is so pretty but did you really wear all this hair out all day everyday?

[@TheJLM]

Definitely stealing this look for a shoot!

[@iyannapalmer5230]

bombbbbb girl!

[@vidadeleon]

Finally. I've seen some crochet mixes that looked questionable. Yours looks amazing!! Deep twist is my go to and I've always been skeptical about the Barbadian braid. I tried to look for the answer, but are you alternating every other crochet or using one pack entirely then switching to the other curl? Thanks in advance!

[@blessedqueen555]

Yes I would like to know that answer as well please

[@Erica-rz1yb]

can you do a crochet hair maintenance and update video?

[@beautybycajjac]

Egbe Imariagbe Sure!

[@Erica-rz1yb]

Thx💙

[@melliexcx]

beautiful hair! 😍

[@Channyboo9023]

yass big hair don't care! I love it

[@beautybycajjac]

ChanelwithaT Thanks!!!

[@MommaKeeKee123]

I love it. To get rid of the bulkiness use a razor comb from midpoint of the length of hair to the ends.

[@beautybycajjac]

FirstClass Jones Thanks!!!! Dope suggestion!!! Never would've thought of that🤔😊

[@VettaBoop]

Girl you look bomb af! Definitely subbing. And ignore these haters, you literally look amazing. 😍

[@SNUPE_FOXX92]

U look like Donna Summer 😱 😍

Really beautiful!

[@beautybycajjac]

Thank you!

[@luciak9772]

love this! where can I buy the hair😢😢

[@jadebrown6499]

Lucia Nyembezi you can get it at your local beauty supply or order it

[@favor7258]

y’all I tried this hair out, I didn’t do the lightest color though, but it’s truly amazing . it’s heavy though, not gonna lie , but basically wrap it up with gel ( be careful ) because when I wrapped mine with gel I realized by like the end of the week I noticed the gel started to dry out creating white specs, meaning I had to wash it once a week, and the curls stayed .

[@queen-ki9wj]

fav how long did it last

[@lilybeballin32]

You remind me of SZA.✨

[@jewelbenn]

I love her method but honestly this can be done with 1.5 packs if you're not hella into volume

[@beautybycajjac]

Jewel Benn Thanks! I just couldn't help it though 😄. I know I know, I'm working on my weave overkill lol

[@ztarr]

1.5 packs?? Lol that's gonna be a shrinky dink style. I personally have a large head so I need more hair I also like volume but not as much as this.

[@bobbyballard9768]

My friend just died

[@shawndacain2013sc]

girlllll this is bomb new sub

[@beautybycajjac]

Shawnda C Thanks!!!!

[@agataminamoreespinosa3385]

How long does the hair last? And do you think it’s water friendly?

[@beautybycajjac]

It can last anywhere from 3-6 weeks depending on how much you handle it. And it does pretty good if you decide to swim in it. I like to cleanse my head with a good scalp rinse product afterwards and follow up with a hair mouse😁

[@fariannagreen]

Wow! te quedo" super Hermoso 😍 👍

[@TheKatedra]

Hey. do you prefer crocheting your hair or crocheting on a wig

[@beautybycajjac]

TheKatedra It depends. Sometimes I'm in a mood where I really want to have access to my natural hair so then I'll have to say a wig is better. But sometimes I want a break from my natural hair so then I'll have to say crocheting in is better. It just depends.

[@TheKatedra]

Ok thanks

[@tenarapulliam7601]

i love your hair this my next style thanks

[@ichliebeBill4leben94]

i wish my hair would grow full like that

[@giselleburley1568]

PERFECTIONNN!!!!

[@helenarose7213]

did u use 4 pcks of freetrees because I don't understand the description box

[@audreyoula]

Helen Ikpotokin I think she used 7 packs in total: 2 packs of deep twits in 1B and 1 pack in 4, 2 packs of Barbadian in 1B and 1 pack in 4 too & finally 1 Barbadian in TT30 (or something like that)

[@PacificMoceans]

Just how I want it. Thank you!

[@serena9763]

Is this heavy?

[@beautybycajjac]

Sarcastic Kat Tarahe Honestly, yep lol. It's the most hair I've ever used for crochets. Definitely stop at 3-4 packs for a lighter look. But I'm extra 😂

[@analuciatv2191]

I love these! Thank you for making this video!! Do you remember how many inches the hair was? & how to sleep with them at night?

[@beautybycajjac]

XxChantellXx1 Thanks! I think 22 or 24 inches but I'm not sure. And i think I did 4 big twists and wore my pillow case bonnet to sleep in.

[@beautifulirawo1900]

Beautiful color and baby hair technique, but for me its too much hair.
