I TRIED HUMAN HAIR CROCHET. Is it legit? Will it Curl? Straighten? Slip? Let's Find Out

[@sherryphilson8602]

I've used the Saga human hair crochet same hair 5 times. I absolutely love it!!!!

[@yasminesterns.3402]

Sherry Philson How many packs did it take for you?? :)

[@naturalmeandshe]

It didn't last for me.

[@vikchiokorie4077]

What length did she use here we've all been asking

[@mariasilvestre7692]

Y como haces para quitartelo para reusarlo

[@nila309]

I used to think this hair was a severe waste of money because it was so expensive for crocheting and a sew in would cost essentially the same. Then I realized that this could be reused and for someone with scalp issues, this hair can see the water without going to pieces. So, I equate it to doing microbraids with human hair. If you’re willing to pay the price you’ll have more style versatility and your care routine would more closely mirror how you’d care for your own hair. You wouldn’t be wasting products on synthetic fiber. That said, I still like my inexpensive synthetic hair.

[@natashapruitt6504]

Love the hair! I have the curly hair and colored it. Can wet it and it bounce back in a kinky curl. No complaints here!

[@MsBumpyRide]

Natasha Pruitt how many packs did u use and how is the hair now?

[@buttahscotchkisses3133]

I was so glad I found out that there is human hair for crochet. I think I'll just get a pack for making a ponytail band. Thanks for the heads up!

[@albertamiddleton4038]

Thanks for the video. I'm going to try this hair. I wanted to put in weave hair but that's too much for me. I love crochet because I can treat my scalp. This would be perfect for me.

[@maggiepatchett2111]

You would think one would heat test before all the work installing the hair 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@kaylaelaine710]

Genuine question: what’s the point of this? I know for myself the real thrill of crochet is the price. Usually $5 per pack, for 5 packs puts me at $25. But with this, doing some quick math 5 packs at $30 is $150, might as well get a sew in for that. I suppose someone who has allergic reactions to synthetic hair might benefit, but again, why not a sew in? Like I said not trying to be nasty, just curious. Hell, I might jump on the bandwagon myself if there’s an actual good reason.

[@DivineYou7]

Kayla Elaine I hear you, maybe it's just how simple it is and the fact you can get to your scalp better than a sew in

[@shayblack6653]

I still believe its cost effective because the hair for a sew in on top of the cost of installation could be over $300. (Unless you're doing it yourself) I can crochet hair in myself , so I would save $.

[@bluebird1694]

Kayla Elaine less annoying than needle and thread and wont prick

[@Mimismama]

Love this! I recently learned how to crochet on my own, so I'm definitely gonna have to try human hair. Ive never had sew ins and i will never get them because whatever style I do, I need to be able to access my scalp and hair whenever I want, period. Not tryna have my hair hid away for months without being able to reach my scalp and end up with molded hair 😂. Thanks for the video! ❤️

lol, glad you enjoyed it!!

[@lesleywilliams1717]

[@savvicreationz4367]

How do you take it down and still be able to keep this human hair for additional crochets?

[@SeunOkimi]

It's very easy to take down without messing up the hair. You just unloop the elastic part

[@kandacecarter6826]

Seun I would love to see a reinstall/update thanks for making great videos 👍✅

I love crochet but the synthetic hair has been making me breakout more than usual these last few times. I’ve been doing some research and will be getting my first human crochet hair this weekend and I’m very excited ❤ the price isn’t a lot in my opinion. No breakouts and within my price range: it’s looking good lol thanks for this video.

Crochet hairstyle is meant to be a fast an inexpensive way to still slay without hurting your pockets n sitting for 5+ hours I say no matter of fact hell no I'll continue slay my cheap 3.99 a pack crochet hair..but it looks good on you

Hey, what brands do you suggest. First time for me..

[@coolkidd151]

Alexya Propes and the style will last longer because it won’t matte up like the synthetic hair

[@kylieshepard9618]

It’s is definitely cost efficient it looks better it’s more versatile and the hairstyle will last twice maybe even 3 times longer

[@BlackGirlLovesAnime6]

This is a one time purchase tho, if you wanna do crochet all the time you're spending more money in the long run. You can reuse these and they dont tangle like crazy like the cheat synthetic ones and they're real hair

[@Brownie8986]

This was quite informative! Thx for the upload. I'm one of those people who 1) doesn't wear weaves but 2) works out a lot [yoga, hiking, swimming, Krav maga, rowing etc.] so this is a happy medium for me *especially* when travelling abroad. It did make me wonder how the hair would've looked on you had you given the whole thing some really nice loose curls but just the one you did was promising and once it reverted on camera I was curious. It is human so I expected it to cost more than typical synthetic packs so that's fine by me. I look forward to enjoying the versatility!! ☺

[@nila309]

The saga hair comes in yaki straight texture too. So that might be an option for versatility.

[@aariyannahthequeen9137]

This was mad helpful cause I want curly crochet hair but I wanna straighten it and style it

[@leilannimoore435]

This would be a great alternative for goddess braids since they always tangle.

[@hyacinthdibley2420]

My other issue with this is that SCALP OIL WILL BREAKDOWN THE ELASTIC OVER TIME, so i'm afraid of 'strands' falling out without my knowledge. This may likely require weekly washing (usual washing regimen) to prevent oil buildup, but oiling scalp as usual will be a problem.

[@MrsQueKnightWilliams]

The strands are in knots they cant come a loose unless you take them apart

[@Rooted_Locs]

Human hair also burns differently- you could also do a strand burn test

[@SeunOkimi]

True. I'm already convinced it's human hair though!

[@favdup2134]

You're sooooooo!!!!! Good at this, WOW 🥺😳😳😳😳 I can watch you all day, and you're very pleasant to watch. Thank you for all your teachings baby girl. God bless you

[@KD-dr3gy]

Okay so i remembered why i never do crechet any more! i tried the "braidless method.. and when i was taking it out i cut out a chunk of my hair in the front! yikes. I had the sense to use a net for the back part and it was easier! PROTIP *use a weaving or netted cap to crochet the hair.. like a crochet wig, then sew THAT onto your braids* So much easier to take off and you wont cut your hair trying to get tiny crochet strands out of the front.

[@Chin715]

Kalifornia Soul Do you have a video where someone us demonstrating how they do that? Trying to envision it. Wouldn't there be a band in the front and you couldn't part it?

[@KD-dr3gy]

you can't see the band, its basically making a crochet wig with a part.. the same way you'd do it on your head but on the net. For the part you just make it in the cap. Mark a part, crochet the hair on either side and then cut it, then you can make a part in your own hair and sew either side of the wig.. i'm not sure i'm explaining it well, but its a method i prefer. There are lots of videos showing the crochet wig technique, then i just sew it to my head at a few anchor points kzbin.info/www/bejne/e56VmX2tlLKoebc

[@nila309]

I’ve never cut my own hair doing a takedown of my crochet braids. I cut the hair about 4-5 inches away from my scalp then patiently remove the knots with my hands. It’s worth it to me to remove it slowly like that. Using a cap for me won’t work because o have to get at that scalp to cleanse it. But those caps are great for making a crochet wig.

[@dewsong1418]

I did the same thing :-( Thanks for the tip!

Totally hooked on crochet hair. Just purchased the saga human hair product. Anxious to try. Don't like big hair so 4 packs should be ok. Maintenance should be the same as your hair. Detangle, Wash and condition.

[@shhhh6174]

I'm looking at these little elastics in between and I feel like they can be reused as long as the hair is still good quality. And as long as you dont cut them out. Just taking out all those damn knots one by one...😢 I'm sure theres plenty of crochet hair I could've reused 🤣

[@SeunOkimi]

Yes, I used 5 packs! And yes, because the knots are made on the elastic part when you put them in, it's easy to take out, and the hair won't become a tangled mess in the process, making it easier to reuse. However if you already wore it for a long time the first time, you may not be able to get much more wear out of it since this is only beauty supply store hair.
