How To ➟ CROCHET BOX BRAIDS 🔥 (looks like the real thing! free-parting)

Hey my lovelies! Today I'm here with a tutorial on how I did my crochet box braids. I used just under 7 packs of 24" small crochet box braid hair for this and it took me about 2.5 hours to do (not including cornrowing my hair). I left out my front edges and did single plaits there so that the style looks undetectable and the parting looks natural. Hope you like!

I just did it it turned out great. Used 7 packs of hair, only cost me 50 bucks 😁👍🏼

[@keinohrtini]

you look stunning! you have so many options with your beautiful hair! you can wear wigs and it looks realistic, weaves, crochets, braid it, wear an Afro, straighten it...I am honestly about all the creative options you have with your hair!! I am quite limited with my thin caucasion hair when it comes to Styles. no weaves, no crochets, no today blond tomorrow black ... I am working with it and try to make wigs as realistic looking as possible but I really hope all of you fabulous Ladies embrace your fantastic hair!! have a blessed day!

I'm 41 and I am so amazed at how far latch hook/crotchet braids has come. When they came out with these though, I said I would never again do individuals again! I've done latch hook on both my daughters hair this year; havanna twists, and jamaican bounce. Done in less than 2 hrs each time. Love it!

[@robynjoy910]

Funny this comes up on PAYDAY! 😂 I'm about to go to the Chinese store ret NA! 😂

Girl it's payday for me too and I'm headed to the beauty supply ASAP lol

[@YogaBlissDance]

I just want to compliment you-I don't do box braids but watched this and you are a great presenter! You pause, you repeat and even put text on top-awesome for teaching. A lot of youtubers are not very good at actually TEACHING. Keep it up and I learn a lot.

[@AlwaysTheEssence]

Now why do you continue to slay EVERY. SINGLE.TIME. I haven't even watched the video yet but the thumbnail is🔥🔥🔥.

[@allpurposedorian6719]

I do the single box braids around the entire perimeter so that it looks super natural

[@jatashaiglus165]

That's a good idea.. I just commented on how I liked how she did her front row. I'm attempting to do mine like this for the first time today.. I need all the tips .. wish me luck lol

[@glamazini]

You flippin UNRAVELED THE CROCHET BRAID and used that!!!! BRILLIANCE DAGNABBIT!!!! #bravo

[@bellasmom226]

This was literally THEE best hair tutorial video I've seen. I loved how precise and slow motion it was. Great job!

[@nataliewelcometoo]

Yeah. Done very well!

[@KieraSolace]

I'm never going to the Braiding shop again after seeing this! 😩🙌🏾

[@fanmlazilpagenyen2815]

Lol

[@MeekahLynne]

I usually don't like the crotchet look but you made them look so natural and like some "real" box braids. Great tutorial.

[@mwestb77]

Can anyone say talented? I love the simplicity of this style without the time it truly takes to sit for box braids! Kudos...you did that!!!!

[@cherietillman4343]

You are right, she is talented at styling hair

[@diamondeyes2417]

3 years ago, but just blessed me now. Doing mine on Saturday. Hair & hooks arrive Friday. Thank you!

[@Longhairprettynails]

[@gracemercy2421]

Sis I thank you so much. I had my stylist look at your video while in the African braid shop. she applied the same technique and when I tell you that 😯 OMG! Beautiful!This crochet style is a staple for me Period. Thanks to your prep braid technique my crochet is undetectable baby. I brought seven packs used 4 . My package had 2 bundles A total of 30 strands. 💕

[@blackbeautytrucker3277]

You’re the reason why I know how to install “braided” crochet hair 🥰 thank you ❣️

[@JacqueAustin-z6i]

OMG!!! I love this hair style. I have a bald spot that cannot be covered with regular braids. I've been dying for some box braids and now I have a way to get eh style that I want! Thank you sooooo much, you don't know how helpful this video is.

[@KittysKorner]

Yasssss love it.. But then again I live for all the styles you do

THANKS AGAIN to THEE CHICNATURAL for being Brave enough to share you content & creativity with the world! I for one greatly appreciate it sincerely! And I'm sure thousands more agree!

[@StephanieDeRamus]

I've never been a fan of box braids but once again, you've executed this style FLAWLESSLY. These look great Kim!

[@latanyabradford-easley7590]

Wow wow wow unbelievable this looks really good. Thank you so much the best detailed video I have seen so far. I am going to use this tomorrow.

[@lisamgreenleaf]

I had no idea this is how this was achieved. Educating myself! Love watching and love the braids they look beautiful!

[@Siberius-]

For crocheting yes, but then there's also the method of just regular braids, or braiding natural hair into extensions, which looks about the same.

[@spiritualcosmeticss]

I never saw anyone on KZbin do crochet braids like this! I'm really feeling this style!

[@theslayologist]

Wow, I never knew you could crochet box braids....my beautician will be missing me! Thanks for sharing!

[@Inevachange]

Ummmm Yessssss !! This gives me life that I can have braids again and still have edges ! Them shop will rip your mess out 😂! Thanks so much !!💖

[@rosetashamaurrasse2973]

I’m still following this concept ❤️😂 4 years later

[@kellyd7415]

Me too! ❤️❤️

[@momofasho5416]

I’ve been meaning to do it for 4 years 😂 I’m back watching it again cuz I’m finally gonna try!

[@vieugene801]

Girl patience and on point you show everything dimple and really neat easy to follow that doesn't damage the hair and actually makes it grow...Your natural hair doesn't look Damaged and it seems to be healthier and healthier thicker and thicker stronger and stronger....I love it

[@PiecesofNika]

Wow! You are so talented!! Ain't no way I could do this beautiful work to my own head! You did a great job!!! xoxo

[@Lisa-qc5wv]

Crochet is my best friend!!!! Loving this so much!! Crochet for now on!!!! No more individuals!!!!!!!❤️

[@kyra_myi]

These are so cute 😍 but I just don't have the patience

[@AllAboutAliciaa]

lol it actually is pretty easy to install though tbh. The time frame is wayy less than when you do so individually.

[@MsLaRachelle]

Right. I attempted this a few yrs ago after seeing another KZbinr post hers and hers looked even more beautiful (She used a diff braid pattern.) After the braiding and install, my arms felt like they were going to fall off and were on fire! I have too much hair to do this on my own.

[@SilviaDwomoh7]

talking about patience .... my favorite protective style is mini twists... i can relate lol

[@EbonyGreathouse]

This technique is a God send. I been doing my own box braids for 16 years and now this!? Hallelujah, ok.

[@MomTheEbayer101]

I'm SOLD!! I'm going to get my hair today. Thank you!

[@naelynn9582]

Right me too

[@chalymargarcia7701]

Lmaoaoaoa

[@tcalip2968]

I have been inspired to do a lot of different styles every now and then to get away from popular styles. Yesterday, January 28, 2023 I braided my hair up. I added tracks and crochet some hair all wet and wavy hair to upgrade my skills. It was very fun to use all three hairstyles in one hairstyle. I love how my hair looks. Tiny wet and wavy braids, with wet and wavy tracks, and wet and wavy crochet hair. My head feels light. Keep up the good work 👏🥳🎉👍

[@AMATEURDECORATINGLIKEAPRO]

This is gorgeous! Just stunning!

[@patriciasydney9526]

The best tutorial I've ever seen especially for beginners

[@annecuthers5723]

i can already tell this is bout to have a million veiws

[@jatashaiglus165]

Been watching videos all morning and this one by far is my fav.. I love how she did the individuals in the front. U don't even notice the rows behind them

[@mzklassynunya]

OMG..I'm never sittin six n a half, seven hours again..These are jus too cute, love them..Gotta get em ASAP!!

[@charlesjohnson8389]

Ive watched several other tutorials... This is THEE BEST ONE!!! trust me, so if ur out here searching like I was, waste no time, you'll find no videos better than this 1.... SHE ACED IT YESSSSSSSSS!

[@anaointa]

Whaaaaat! Girl you are so talented!

[@AneishaH]

What my mom did to my hair was, french braid upward from my edges and in the middle braid it into a circle (worked for me because i have A LOT of hair!!) to trick people to look like they're single braids, but they're not! its a lot easier than un-braiding the braids and braiding.. But everyone has their ways!

[@neojazzgospel]

OMG!! You're going to African Braiding shops out of business!!!...FYRE!!!

[@InkedUpBarbiee]

I'm DEFINITELY doing this style!!! It takes me 3 days to do my box braids (with my 5 sons always interrupting me). I don't have to keep screaming, "WATCH MY HAIR!", "DON'T TOUCH MY HAIR!". Love it!!!

[@Sophiemn2024]

What in the world!! I'm amazed! Girl you are changing the game with this one!

[@slaybytierra5223]

I'm really glad this video is on here, because I love styling hair and crochet was the only thing I didn't know how to do, and I'm only 13

[@nycolemcdougal3816]

I was considering a box braid wig until I saw this video but you came through just in time chica!! Thanks, you always have great and practical tutorials!!

[@Transitiontoretirement]

Simply FASCINATING! I love how you have perfected your craft!

[@adriannamoise]

This looks stunning!💕 I had this for a month and a half but what I recommend is to dip them in boiling hot water because they tend to unravel at times.

[@gracemercy2421]

You are right when I went to the braid shop my stylist dipped it in hot water as well

[@lashemakuykendall4829]

lady I love the way you do your hair. I appreciate that you take the time out to show everyone how you do it. Thank you

[@gamingwithpeytonyay5021]

imma do this I spend like 200.00 at the braid shop for the hair and braids when I can do it myself

[@emmanuellandombeson6610]

Thanks for this interesting video. I love being able to do things myself on my natural as I think it's always better than when others handle my hair carelessly most of the time. Thanks for sharing such amazing videos with us. It's by watching such videos that I started leaning how to take care of my hair myself. Be Blessed 😘

[@AThickGirlsCloset]

they came out sooooo great. beautiful!

[@rowlan29]

MIND BLOWN!!!!! What a creative way to achieve a great style.

[@servebrunch]

your hair looks really great. But I'm so scared to install crochet braids for a second time after the huge damage I had the first time. The lady did my cornrows so tight but since I didn't had experience with crochet braids I thought it ought to be so, and the result was a deep wound on my hair scalp. so my advice don't let everyone touch your hair try to DIY as much as possible.

[@mercyz2734]

yeah i has a little experience with crochet & the second time it hurt so much

[@nicoleolloway]

That is amazing how you unraveled the crochet braid and braided your hair in it smart I tell you and it came out beautifully.

[@1newwoman07]

Im going to try this. I wish I could figure out something better to do with the back so I can put it in a high bun and not have the hump in the back. Any ideas?

[@abigaildaniyan1847]

Wow thank u am 12 years old and I did my first own bow braids when I was10 but I did it way to thick and lasted for 5 day so when I was 11 did the Havana twist and it did not look well yesterday I stombed on u and found a quick and easy way to do extension so thank u for making your video and helping me save a lot of time

[@DenayTheDiva]

They look SO good on you!! Thanks for the video!

[@GloryousCrown]

Love it! Your hair looks just like the individual braids. You're a gifted Queen. Thank you for this tutorial.

[@SamanthaPollack]

This is so cute & seems so easy!

[@casheanelson4664]

[@niab.3600]

I love this style so much! saves on time and also less pulling on the roots of the hair! I had no idea they made crochet braided hair too love this!

[@veydap1379]

I just bought the hair. Going to do this style today

[@js1473]

[@shellzsofab]

I'm so happy I saw this video cause I've been wondering what to do with my hair for Summer. And seeing that I have nail extensions on and can't braid with them this is a great alternative, thanks a lot @TheChicNatural

[@melenatednellie07]

so beautiful!!!! thank you for this. truly is a pubic service announcement for women who have no idea what to do, like me.😅

[@morena7700]

Thank you for this! I am so busy and was trying to find the time to box braid my own hair. Then I stumbled upon this video and OMG, you are a life saver, I ordered them immediately and am so happy it will only take a fraction of the time!

[@BreannLaFaye]

Girl this is fly! How long can you keep a style like this?

[@afrikahchick]

up to two months with good maintenance.

[@SilviaDwomoh7]

thats some good amount of time!! i did my mini twists and will be removing them soon..6 weeks so 2 months of a protective style is great!

[@njrep08]

You are saving lives and edges with this tutorial! Slay all day! Hope to try this sooner than later. Thank you.

lovely hair but. could you please make an in depth tutorial on your braiding pattern?

[@prahootace1356]

this girl right here soooooo talented!

[@LovingJourdan]

ahhh they look soooooo good

[@skye-annhoward9380]

I love Crotchet I bean doing it for a year I have did different styles like the box braids,faux locs , and twist and it's kind of like a protective style because it doesn't pop your edges when if you go to the Africans they will and it's so much cheaper

[@mzladrj8711]

I wanna do this sooo bad but I am scared for my edges...I just got them bad boys to half way grow back lmbo...I might have to take a seat on this hairstyle. Shoooot I'll be depressed if I lose my edges again ahaha..but that hairstyle is cute!

[@cassie101]

This causes less tension and pulling on the hair with individual box braids ....exceptionally done!!

[@ashantepryor4269]

Can you make a video on how you did the cornrolls please

[@devonnedelacruz7693]

best crochet method I've seen! w the braids

[@miacarter8097]

Looks nice, I want to try. One question? Are they heavy because I tried the medium sized Havana long twist and they were cute but too heavy in my head

[@katherinehenry9623]

Thank you soooo much for the tutorial..I was struggling on how to get it to loop and I watched your video and learned in 10 seconds.. you are AMAZING🥰🥰🥰

[@blessingsam4592]

they looks like you didn't crochet wth it looks so good

[@gabrielebolds6049]

Love only 2 1/2 hours she needed! I get my hair braided takes 10 -12 hours single braids and cost me a lot $$$ ! This is a great idea I am blowing away by this ! Thank you for sharing!

[@JoannaLewisLushhish]

You probably get this all the time but your baby hairs are laid soooooooooo nice. How do you do that? Sometimes I swear I don't have any and then when I try to lay them, it doesn't last all day and I end up looking like I have a huge puffy halo around the front of my head.

[@EducatorKae]

Beautifully done!! These are some of the best I've seen!
