Thank you! ...cuz people be guarding technics like it's the holy grail 🙄

[@ShayLuvHair]

Yeah, I never understood gatekeeping in your own community. Thank so much for watching sis!

[@ceciliawilson7694]

Right😂😂😂😂

[@lionnees5479]

Nobody owes you anything! The mentality behind gate keeping is crazy. No professional gonna show their techniques

[@Anne_one]

@@lionnees5479 They’re going to charge you exorbitant prices out of fear you won’t patronize them which simply isn’t true. Plenty of professionals showcase their techniques for free, especially non-black ones.

[@connietaylor7809]

YOU are the true Queen of crochet braids!! Ty for sharing your knowledge 😊

[@MarleneGem]

Black gurl magic.... I love your technique and yes its growing straight out the scalp

[@ShayLuvHair]

Thank you so much!

[@arcallender6740]

So I’m coming back to crochet and yes all these problems that you’re noting in this video yes and I was out of crochet so fast because I had too much hair on my head but then I didn’t have enough ….so thank you so much for sharing these really good tips… My hair is coming in the mail tomorrow… Get the other stuff later this afternoon… I’m excited… Subscribed.

[@reignajoyce]

The spiderwebs on your nails are exactly how my hair would be if I did this myself😂

[@ShayLuvHair]

NOOO sis!! Practice makes progress. I promise you can do this.

[@angelwhite7926]

Thank you so much for not gatekeeping , I looked at a different KZbinr she showed all the other crochet knot techniques but not the one she was doing to give invisible parts. I was so confused, I though I skipped something in the video, she just didn’t want to show it 😅

[@ShayLuvHair]

A lot of people do that. They have me and everyone else going in circles. Lol. Glad i could help. 🫶🏾

[@antoinettetyson6804]

This is why i prefer crochet over sew-ins. They can look the same with way less work and there are more customization options available.

[@purplediva60]

OMGOODNESS this is great techniques and information! Queen, You are SO very talented. I have very thin frontal hair and find it difficult and challenging to do a secured braid pattern on myself for crochet braids where the scalp is not shown. I will try this. Many Blessings

[@pdavis1624]

Thins is right on time, thank you. I did my daughters hair for the first time last night can’t to take it down and redo like this

[@ShayLuvHair]

Ok but hold on, why you taking it down? Is the install big? I can probably save it still. If this is the case, heres a video that may help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHvdc5-JlNtkeZosi=C15q2HSaTy9wb6lW

[@minniethemouse62]

I have request. Is it possible to use contrasting color braid hair for your demonstrations? The color matching is great as it should be but I think your work would be more visible with lighter colored hair against the braids. 💕

[@ShayLuvHair]

Yes sis! I can do this. I'll get that put on my list! Thanks so much!!!!

[@sherefulkam2885]

Do you have a video showing how to remove these.? Got my first crochet today but she double knotted them. They feel very tight and I don't know how to remove them. I fear having to shave my hair off.

[@ShayLuvHair]

@@sherefulkam2885 you have insta?

cann you make a video about different braid patterns and which is best depending on you outcome

I like the concept can this work with pre looped human hair can you do a video

You would need to take it apart. Thanks for watching!

[@jenniferjohnson7310]

I wish you did hair😢 baaby consider opening a shop and teach them how to do fye crochet 😊

[@ShayLuvHair]

I'm not licensed. I was working on my apprenticeship before the pandemic and under a cosmetologist. But decided not to return. So yeah, I don't take clients anymore. I'm sorry. But thank you so much for watching!!! I do facetime lessons to show people how to do it themselves though. And considering making an online class.

[@MsBflat]

Hey Shay--this maybe a stupid question or request---and again, I have learned so very much from you and I thank you again....can you give us some examples of color---I purchased some crochet hair awhile back and can/don't remember the color.....what I mean, is for instance, what's the difference between T30, T430, or #27, #30 or #27Plus----just a bit confused---thank you for all you do for us!!!

[@ShayLuvHair]

Thats kinda funny, because I tried doing a video just like that a few years back, but when I watched it back to edit it, it seemed confusing, so I trashed it. But I've gotten more experienced through the years and I think I can come up with a better way of explaining it. So I will put this on my to do list. Thanks so much for suggesting this! And thanks for watching!!!!

[@MsBflat]

@@ShayLuvHair Thank you so much for getting back to me--I will be waiting---Have a Great Day!

Can you do an install on a french braid base instead of a cornrow base?

Hi this is a great tutorial, I want to use human hair but I want to reuse the hair and not throw it away🥹, isn’t there a way not to cut it out?

[@ShayLuvHair]

Not with all the teasing to make it an illusion.

[@Made_by_Fego]

​@@ShayLuvHairhow about carefully taking it down and revamping the hair? Am a first timer here and seeing this video, am already a believer😊. I think it's possible to reuse the hair

[@briannaporter]

You should use the ladder braid pattern instead...
