CROCHET HAIR TAKEDOWN| Removing The Dalva Ultima Collagen Protein Crochet Hair

[@Diva9000x]

Hey Lia! I've been wearing braids for very long time. I NEVER take my hair down dry, EVER. After I cut the extensions as close as I can, I put 3 parts cheap conditioner & 1 water in a pointy tip squeeze bottle and saturate my hair & scalp. You want your hair slippery. It makes the leftover hair slip off the cornrows and it makes it hella easier to undo the cornrows. If your hair starts to dry before you finish, mist it with water. It's makes the process go much faster & you minimize breakage when you comb/brush your hair out. After that wash, deep condition & style.

[@AsiaMare]

That can cause matting, oil is best.

[@liperkin1]

I lost a lot of my hair from locking and not brushing out before washing after a crochet. Glad you said that

[@kayjay8790]

Omg Lia- I have cut my hair by accident too! I’m glad I’m not the only one whose made that mistake. My impatient butt has not only done it once but twice 🤦🏾‍♀️. Horrible feeling when you fight for every inch of growth lol. And I think we all have that Walmart bag on the side to put our take down hair in 😉😆

[@sunlightwhite3337]

Same! I accidentally cut one of my own braids while chopping of my crotchet Boho Braids. My hairdresser has to do all kinds of tricks to keep my real hair hidden because it's so long and apparently the end of one cornrow had slipped out at some point and I didn't notice because it was the same color and almost same length as my Boho braids. The only reason I even noticed was because the tips of my crotchets were a light auburn color and as my "pile" of crochet hair grew on the bed next to me (yaaaas girl I had the Walmart bag lol🙌), I noticed that one braid was completely black so I picked it up and looked at it closely and that's when I realized it was MY HAIR😱😭😭😭 almost 10 inches 😭😭😭 Lucky for me it was a small cornrow on edge near my ear and I still had about 7 inches left on it, and my hair is so thick that you couldn't tell when I brushed it out. But still, that was paaaiiin😭😭 I kept the braid for a week cuz I just couldn't let go of it lol

[@ladynefertitibk]

I can see all your new growth. Yes your hair grew a lot under your crochet.

[@misstrue1000]

This is the realist channel ! Thank you, my hair looks just like that when I take my crochet out!

[@Leshay5]

You continue to inspire me! I’ve been livin’ that crochet life since September. No heat, no chemicals. Only juices and berries. 😜 Hope I’ll see some growth come my birthday in May. Keep doing what you doing! 🍍🍍🍍

Thank you!!!

Ty I am taking my down tonight I miss my hair

[@juelclyne7392]

Wow 😮 Lia, all that hair...ahhhh-mazing

[@vangiemack1523]

I cut my real hair when taking out my crochets braids, two braids right in the front of my head!!! I was devastated! I just could not believe it. It has almost caught up to the rest of my hair now.

[@MrsThoroughbred]

Yep I’ve cut the back of my hair too 🤷🏾‍♀️ it’s growing back

[@kayjay8790]

Diane McNeil I have too lol I have stopped crochets for a minute because of it.

[@johnsonjam77]

So today after watching this video and commenting for the second time. This time I have crochet in my hair. My reason for watching your take down video along with tastepink. My reason for watching was to see if there was something you do to take care of your hair as you take down your braids after taking out the crochet.

[@ihuomatuesday1600]

Hope you're feeling better. Yeah I don't know why people would think it's complicated. It's much harder installing vs take down

[@LiaLavon]

Thank you!! I was down for a week but felt much better after. 💜

[@olivesp300]

Hope you're feeling better. That's part of the reason I love crochet braids,the take don't is so much easier than regular braids.

[@cocob6849]

Lia is a SOLDIER! Girl you are a real dedicated, Super Trooper! I hope you feel better soon!! Thanks for sharing! AND WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT THAT POWER SERIES FINALE?! 😁😁🥂

You’re so funny, I really appreciate that ♥️

Damn gurl your natural hair is bomb the color is looking super cute too still. Cant wait to see whats next.

Exactly how I do my takedown.. . I only cut once tho... scared of cutting my own hair.... And Power was Crazy... Lol... Great video! Good look Lia!

Feel better, Sis

[@deluxecoco2789]

Thanks for this video even while you were sick. I think most of us can relate to losing our real hair after extensions lol. Those are lessons you never forget! Glad you are feeling better.

[@eternallyinternal]

I really really enjoyed this series! Thanks a mil. New sub!!!

[@LiaLavon]

Welcome!!

[@nettnettwarren1432]

I did the wash without combining it out once. 😩 Oh what a matted nightmare. My hairdresser (my bestie) is da bomb. She handled it without me loosing a strand. You Rock! Thanks for sharing.

[@LiaLavon]

We’ve all learned the hard way at some point 😂

[@touyprater]

I’ve cut mine twice and could have passed out on the floor. I literally cried. I’m ready to go see my stylist for a deep conditioning and cut. I have NOT trimmed or cut in three years. Uggghs

[@Bookie1227]

Girl you hid all that hair ?!?!

[@jacquelinekariuki4055]

Lia, we have the same routine. A bag, scissors and a comb. I also watch TV while I'm taking it out. Your hair is beyond gorgeous! 🤗 I hope you are feeling better, had to laugh about your eyelashes flying off.😂😂😂😂 Oh there is one thing you forgot, vacuuming all the hair on the sofa and carpet. 😁 Take care of yourself

[@ultimatecouponlady]

Hi Lia! Ok, so I have been following you for a few years now and I love your videos. Now that you are in your new place, I notice you have a knack for great interior design. I was just about to ask you where you got those two silver lamps when it dawned on me that you should have affiliate links to those lamps! I'm sure others are wondering the same thing; if not for the lamps then for some other cute things you have around your home. You should definitely be doing affiliate links for EVERYTHING that we can see while we watch your videos; links to the kind of camera you use, the outfit you're wearing, the comforter set, even that pretty plant! Girl, you ARE an influencer. We come to your videos for crochet hair reviews and try-on hauls but we come to see you too! It's your personality that draws us in and I think you should really take advantage of that. And, btw, where DID you get those lamps? Ok, long post! Lol! Thanks for another great video! Stay safe and healthy!

[@LiaLavon]

Thank you! The thing about me is I buy so much for Home Goods and TJMaxx that since they don’t really have true online shopping and each store it’s different it would be impossible to affiliate link. For example those lamps came from Ross lol. But I will definitely link as much as I can when I do my house tour video and it’s a great idea about the equipment linking.

[@downtownon7thavenue]

Your hair is gorgeous. Your stylist did a good job. We all need a little hair help sometime 😂. Great video as always. Get well soon 🥰

[@aliciab3333]

Lia I see a lot of comments about matting, I recently too just had this happen to me. Can you share some tips on how to prevent this from happening and what to do if it does...??

[@LiaLavon]

How long are you leaving in hairs?

[@aliciab3333]

4-5 weeks

[@NaturallyCorporate]

😣I, too, cut off a braid of my own hair while taking out my crochets. Ugh, I could cried. It was my crown and I mistakenly cut down to about 1 inch. Whew, smh. I’ve nvr rushed again. I was taking out FreeTress Water Waac and all the hair looked the same.

[@qstyle70]

I add a cream conditioner before I start combing out my hair. Then I shampoo and deep condition with my “Hothead”.

[@neat3579]

Aaahhhaaaa you sneezed them lashes off lololol I love you thank you for inspiring us

[@lrf8230]

We have the same hair type

[@vgascoigne4089]

Maybe it's cuz my braid patterns are not usually just straight back, but my hair does not come in the front this easily lol. Thank you for posting!

[@Motivational_StrongwillD]

Feel better hun no rush work on your health is more important than youtube. But hunny your hair look like mines when I take my hair down a lot of hair lol. Take care

[@sharinamcqueen4224]

Love you girl🤣🤣🤣 Mucinex isn't 12 hrs. Hell no I did use vitamin c to help...hope you feel better soon..with this c virus going around I'm glad it was only a strep throat 😷 OMG thank you..

[@LiaLavon]

Yea this was filmed way before this current C virus thing like 6 weeks ago and thankfully it only lasted like 5 days

[@kayjay8790]

Would you mind leaving your stylists info in the info box? Thanks girl! 😊

[@LiaLavon]

Absolutely

[@rko32491]

Giiiirl. Them scissors stay in my head. I will pull those loops up and boom scissors. I dont think I've ever not cut all the way to the bottom lol. The install and taking the hair out is not problem to me. My problem would be is taking those stupid braids out. When they aren't fresh....like that side by side you did....wheeeew them braids get raggedy. I literally take a whole weekend to do this. The braids and the brushing out. I be over it. Quick question though, how much hair comes out when you brush and take out your braids

[@LiaLavon]

I hate take down weekends. And not a lot of hair but their is definitely some shedding.

[@rko32491]

@@LiaLavon Thanks. No one talks about the shedding and I know I shed, but I still have hair. Had me worried for a second. Keep up the awesome work btw. Definitely love your feedback

[@jrenee_21]

I dont think Ive cut my hair during a takedown. I usually cut enough and just start taking the braids out since the hair will fall. Lol I will never go past 6 weeks with my crochets because my hair will start to mat and I freak out. Happened my 1st crochet install and never again lol

[@vjones5670]

Doesn't it seem like it goes faster to takeout when watching something good!❤❤❤❤❤ LOL "my nose is getting redder & redder & I sneezed those eyelashes off!"

[@ebonygorum6715]

I've cut my hair many times. My stylist says you can't tell because it's thick anyway.😂

[@LiaLavon]

[@MsLaylay99]

How do you keep your edges growing? I tell my hairstylist not to braid my hair tight.

[@LiaLavon]

I don’t think I do anything special. Just occasionally oil them.

It really depends on the hair. Between 4-7 weeks.

[@b.j.dee2702]

Ugh yass the pain of cutting your hair 😩😔 I cut mines and was heart broken. Right in the front and two braids in the back 🙄. I wasn’t being careful of my hangtime.

[@feliciafelicia6965]

You know. I really thought I would wear crochet and let my hair grow... Then I see yours and feel the need to cut it off again. That looks like alot of work lol.

[@cs3091]

I love crochet hair, but the main problem that I have is that my natural hair underneath sheds so much. Does anyone have tips on how to care/maintain your natural hair while wearing crochet? I know these are supposed to be protective styles but it’s not working out. Or, maybe I’m not doing enough.

[@TheeModeeModShow]

Wash at least 1x week,blow dry, use oils and liquid leave in. Ummm I've been obsessed with the mane choice ancient Egyptian oil my hair hardly sheds when I use it regularly! And healthy lifestyle habits that promotes healthy hair!

[@maryjflanagan1922]

I use Glover's shampoo soap, Shea Moisture Restore castor oil with ACV shampoo, conditioner and leave in conditioner, Let's Jam extra hold gel and Blue Magic Castor Oil grease when braiding and for my scalp in between my braids, I use a homemade castor, olive, tea tree, lavender oil mix. My hair was very short with dry scalp and heavy shedding. I don't put any more chemicals on my hair. Sometimes, I don't even add crochet hair. I may braid box braids then add cuban twist hair to those and put it in a ponytail for a couple of weeks. The longest time which I've worn crochet braids is 3 weeks. I can't go wothout washing my hair. Conditioner before take down males it less slippery and shed a little less.
