Crochet Braided FAQs

What's the difference between bulk braiding hair and pre-stretched braids?
Bulk hair usually needs stretching and separating before use, while pre-stretched packs, like some of the Cherish and Outre options in this collection, are already loosened and ready to braid or crochet with.
How much hair will I need for crochet braids?
This depends on your head size, the style and how full you want the finish, so it's best to check the pack size on each product page and buy a couple of extra packs if you're unsure.
Can I use heat on synthetic crochet or braiding hair?
Most synthetic braiding hair is not heat resistant unless stated otherwise, so always check the product page or pack instructions before using heat styling tools.
How long do crochet braids usually last?
This varies by hair type, how it's installed and how it's cared for, so it's worth checking the specific product page for any guidance from the brand.
Do I need anything else to install crochet braids?
Most people use a crochet needle and their own cornrowed hair as a base, but tools and techniques can vary, so check the pack instructions or ask in-store for guidance.
