My First Time Crocheting

MY FIRST TIME CROCHET EXPERIENCE
I love beautiful hairs. A beautiful hair with a flawless makeup is every woman’s desire. However, I’ve always had one problem with making my hair. I find it very difficult to sit for hours in a saloon. After 2 hours of being in a saloon, I start getting really uncomfortable.  That’s why I love whoever that came up with wigs… it’s so easy to wear. My only challenge with wearing wig is that, in one glance everybody automatically knows it’s a wig (I guess that how I feel). This got me busy online, searching for an alternative way to wear my hair without feeling guilty about my salon problem and after long hours of searching, I found a video on YouTube by Teeday talking about crocheting a kinky twist. The video got me inspired and I decided to try it but my only challenge was that I know nothing about braiding or twisting. Just to be on a safe side I decide to try it out with a cheap curly weave-on.
First I asked my sister to help braid my hair all back in 9 cornrows (remember I told u I know absolutely nothing about hair making). Using a needle and a thread, she sews the tail end of my hair to one of the cornrows, as you would do if you wanted to fix a weavon. On the YouTube video, Teeday used a latch hook or a crochet pin to install but since I didn’t have a crochet pin, I used a bobby pin – yes, the good old bobby pin. I took the hair and I started installing it.
It took me a total of 1 hour 40 minutes to get it all installed. And I loved the end result. It looks very natural and it didn’t take that long to install + I got to do it in the comfort of my bedroom. Every video I’ve watched about crocheting talked about how easy it was to install, nobody said it was super super easy and fun. I love my hair and I’m loving the way people admire it.
