Ombre Straight Crochet Braids ft. Cuban Twist Crochet Hair

[@YourPoint1981]

Know what I like most about this video? No fancy intro with a bunch of effects, just decent lighting and excellent explanation. The results are amazing!

[@evangelistebonyperry-smith7423]

I would have to say I agree ❤😊

Indeed!! I came back to watch this video because there’s a young lady who I want to braid my hair. I’m going to ask her to watch this procedure!! Well done!!

[@natashalouis2130]

[@richelletvforyou8324]

This is by far the best straight hair crochet braid look and tutorial on KZbin. Even AFTER watching you install I can't believe the long hair at the end isn't yours.

[@KearraNicole]

Thank you!! 😊

[@TinaCarriger]

So....I actually did this style after I watched the video. Its a lot more complicated than what she shows. The hair is VERY kinky and cannot tolerate a lot of heat from the blow dryer nor my flat iron on the lowest setting. It took me HOURS to get this done. And in the morning, the hair was matted. It looks great in the moment when you flat iron it, but it's not sustainable.

[@favored6007]

Yep, I'm currently trying this style and it has taken me hours longer than expected. My hair did not get as straight as hers even though I'm using the blow dryer and same brush. It's still really thick and I'm not sure how to get it straighter.

[@nafaribaron7897]

Thank you! I was thinking of doing this but was also wondering on the longevity of it all.

[@cassyalexis3958]

Thank you ladies for giving us your honest experience. I won't be doing this style bcuz I need something that won't take hrs to do.

[@JayJay-yx7gc]

Hi thanks for sharing. Would you recommend a didn’t type of hair. Or just do a Sew- In to achieve this look?

[@gracearjana248]

Did you use the same brand of hair? This has been sold out for month! It’s easy to get Cuban twist hair, but not the brand so I was curious.

[@Animekeke]

whoa! I didn't think it would be possible to create this look with crochet braids!

[@KearraNicole]

Every crochet style should have these edges. Knots are a huge pet peeve 😂

[@shalahkeith5681]

Girl bring your part into the camera!!!!! This just looks too good to be true and before I get my hopes up and head to the beauty supply in the morning I need to knowww!!! It looks perfect!

[@lizzardlish]

This is the best AND the most realistic looking style ever...i think this is timeless...thank you soooo much!!! Love when you use the curls my goodness It is so flawless....best ever on youtube!!!

[@KearraNicole]

Thank you so much! 🥰 Honestly the curls are probably my favorite look 🙂

[@tiah3720]

I was just scrolling and saw this. I automatically assumed it was a wig or sew in until I saw a comment that said crochet. I had to go watch. This is fire!

[@nakitaburrell63]

Keara, your straight style looks amazing! I tried straight crochet braids several years back, but only had medium success. This time, I followed your instructions and it worked! Thank you! A couple of notes: after using the blow dryer brush, I noticed that the hair still kinked together a bit. So, I wet the hair slightly with my fingers and flat ironed it. Then I spritzed it small sections with Sta Soft Fro and water again and flat ironed it again (medium to low heat both times). I trimmed the ends and viola! I can brush and comb the hair with minimal kinks and shedding. It’s important to note, if you use a flat iron on Kanekalon hair to spritz the section of hair with water first so it doesn’t burn. It also acts as a conduit to manipulate the hair.

[@KearraNicole]

Good to know! I never knew about adding the water. Thanks for sharing ❤. I've also had success using the hot comb as well.

[@wildhalo2769]

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!! I am about to flex my Kearra Nicole muscles and do this style. I needed to see your helpful hints. 💝💝💝

[@wildhalo2769]

I have a question. How long did you wear your style?

[@lisajones6496]

How do you space the hair in the back so it won't look bulky? And how do I make sure it's enough to cover braids?

[@kellzkorner]

How long does this last before getting crazy tangled

[@Bubzietown]

You really resemble Kandi Buruss! This style I have got to try. Haven’t seen many straight crotchets this flawless.

[@KearraNicole]

I've been hearing that a lot on here! Thank you! 🥰

[@hallee5313]

maaan i wanted to be the first to say this chuu lol

[@SheIsFearfullyWonderfullyMade]

Yes! Actually Reily to me😊 when I saw her outro part of the video, I was like “wow she look like Kandi daughter”… very pretty💞

[@kandillishis]

This looks so natural with no leave out. 🥰 I like this better than the vixen crochet I've worn a few times.

[@KearraNicole]

Thanks! 🙂 I always wanted to try the vixen but never got around to it

[@LorDHarr]

When I did crochet braids in the past, I always had curls, and they took hours to be done - except when my sister-in-law did the braids for me. Now though, because you did so well here, I think I will try this straight look hair. I'm very impressed!

[@GoldSag1]

I have been looking for a crochet style that mimics natural hair when straightened. The search is over!!! I love how this came out!! Thanks for being very detailed now I know to get a shorter length because of the stretch. This will be my holiday hairstyle!!

[@KearraNicole]

Thank you! 🥰 I'm actually going to do a shorter style next

[@KiaraIrie]

The algorithm knew exactly what it was doing making you the first vid on my home page. Usually I ignore everything and go straight to my subscriptions. This video has me so excited. I haven't cared this much about a hair video in a LONG time

[@KearraNicole]

🥰🥰🙂

[@Kendratree]

Girl! This is absolutely GENIUS!!!! I've just gotten my first sew-in since I wanted a straight look, and now I wish I had done this instead! I got the front of my leave out wet whilst washing my face, lol. You've solved all the problems and now I can even experiment with color using this method, thanks so much for sharing with us!!

[@Olive_Green604]

I can't thank you enough for this awesome video! This is by far the best crochet hair video I've ever seen. I rewatched yours and Seun Okimi's videos so many times before I finally tried it out. This has been my go-to protective style for the last 3 months. I get so many compliments and people think it's my natural hair! For others thinking about trying it, give it a shot! It took me about 3 days to completely install, brush and detangle, and straighten everything. My braid pattern was also a little different so that I could redo my part every two weeks to keep it looking fresh without redoing my whole head. I do have to brush through it everyday with the blow dryer brush because it does get stiff and tangle a little after a few days. Plus it will naturally thin out over time depending on how long you keep it in and how often you brush through it, but I just fill in thin spots with more hair. Thanks Kearra Nicole!

[@dolly20ify]

How long will you say this style will last?

[@Olive_Green604]

@@dolly20ify I redo the middle part about every 2-3 weeks to deal with the new growth. For the rest of my head, I've left them in for as long as 3 months. I'd say you can probably get a good one month from this style at the most before having to redo it.

[@evangelistesther.o]

@@Olive_Green604what’s the take down process like? I’m a bit nervous if the hair tangles on the cornrows as the style gets old and then removing it will lead to accidental cutting of your hair?

[@Olive_Green604]

@@evangelistesther.o I didn't have any issues with my hair breaking. The take down process was tedious, but not impossible. That's because for sections closer to the front of my head, I used smaller pieces of crochet hair. Just like with braids, the longer you keep them in, the more patient you'll have to be with take down. I didn't use scissors at all, just patience with undoing the knot and using product when needed to help get some slip.

[@ebonysharee]

As a stylist GIRL YOU DID THAT. I did this style on a client a few years back and baby we was in the salon for a minute cause I did the invisible method. I didnt flat iron it tho but you did it so well!! Great job

[@KearraNicole]

Thank you! 🥰 Yes it def takes a lil time to do lol

[@lisajones6496]

How long does it take?

[@amayalewis4464]

Love your accent! I think the key you've demonstrated here is using tiny pieces of hair for each crotchet. This produces that natural density we look for. Well done!

[@KearraNicole]

Thanks 🥰. Yes small pieces!!

[@Black_pearl_adrift]

Wait no bc this is actually flawless. I’m blown away

[@KearraNicole]

Thank you! 🥰

[@KearraNicole]

Let me know how it turns out! I'm also trying other brands to see what the results look like 🙂

[@ladulcesita]

@@KearraNicole yes please, try other brands, I'd be interested to see. Thing is, with Cuban and even standard braiding hair, they get stiff after a while. So then you have to always straighten or blow dry. If you find a brand that doesn't get so stiff we'd love for you to share it😍keep up thr great work!

[@MusicalChef_94]

I love this look on you! I've seen another KZbinr (Brilliant Beauty) straighten the hair so I do know as long as you don't go higher than 400 degrees Fahrenheit you won't melt the hair. It looks really great and versatile on you
