Crotchet Braids With A Bang Including Braid Pattern

Crotchet braids with bangs

We always post pictures of crotchet braids on Facebook, twitter and Instagram and the response is almost always favorable. It is a great protective style and a very popular alternative to regular braids and other types of weave, not to mention it is super duper easy to do yourself.

We found a great tutorial from MSPYT81 that included the beehive braid pattern and bangs which is below the post but before you watch there are a number reasons women like this style that you might want to consider.

The first thing that we thought was awesome is that your hair is protected in a way that leaves the edges intact (providing that your edges were full and strong beforehand of course). So many times we do protective styles involving additional extensions and expose our edges to damage; with crotchet braids you could eliminate that problem.

Another great reason to choose this style is again related to the health of your own hair because it allows you the freedom to moisturize and cleanse your scalp as often as you need to because you can part the hair and reach your scalp which is very different from some most weave options.

Styling is also very versatile, we often see crotchet braids in a curly style but you can use straight hair, kinky hair to create a ‘natural’ look or even do individual twists or braids. The benefit of this is that you can recreate micro braids without your hair suffering the same stress it would with regular micros. If you have a stylist who is great at crotchet braids he or she could replicate virtually any style you desire using this technique.

Additionally as with all protective styles that involve additional hair, we always encourage a little creativity, so if you want to try some color then go ahead and do it. Crotchet braids give you the freedom to do a bit of experimentation, you can go bold or subtle just enjoy the style once you decide to take the plunge


Convinced yet? Well if not, check out the tutorial and give the style a shot, we loved the bangs, it was the perfect touch!

    What kind of hair is that??? Please let me know. I have been looking for that type of hair for a long time!!

      I understand what you’re saying. But, it’ll never be over, because it’s not a trend. We have to keep encouraging our sisters who still can’t see the beauty of their natural selves. #DownWithWeaves

      Ever since going natural I will never go back… I agree just keep encouraging them the versatility of natural hair… without weave

    I really would like to have a bob style and can’t do it my self will look around in Brooklyn to see where I can have this done, the last time I checked they where charging $100.00

    It’s actually really easy to do. Just use free tress hair. )The kind that has no track) then you simply latch hook the hair onto the French braid. The braid pattern you use depends on how u want the hair to fall.

    Other salons outside of bk do this lol. I go to an African hair braiding shop on 125th St in Harlem and they do this. They’re called best braiders 44 west 125th St. I usually get my hair done by jamila. My sister and I have been going to her since I was about 12yrs old. She’s really nice very professional and does an awesome job. And charges a fair price. (718) 213-0915 this is her number.

    1. cathleen

      How much does she charge and what is considered a fair price?

    And just because a woman is natural doesn’t mean she can’t get a weave. It’s called protective styling. I’m natural and get braids, the occasional sew in and what not but this definitely isn’t a “trend” for me. I haven’t had a perm in over 5 yrs and definitely won’t be going back.

    And all this time I thought women were using their own natural hair for this style & it’s weave smh the deceit lol jk it’s cute nonetheless… Always wanted to get this style but I thought my hair couldn’t do this now I know I could do it this way! We chocolate sistas sure are creative!

    For all those who are crying it’s still a weave….what she is doing is called a protective style . During the colder months you because of the elements it can to harsh for our hair natural does not just mean no chemicals but it has to be healthy hair so to protect it a protective style is used…… This is a beautiful style and looks great

    I love this style. People can wear whatever they want to. Natural is nice and so is weave. I have long hair and I also wear weave a lot. It works great for when I workout. Weave to me is a great protective styling process for me. I also love braids as well. I believe she is just doing different styles and I definitely agree with you Kevina onenonly Kennerly!

    People can wear weave if they want to hell. Some people don’t feel like doing their hair, natural hair is a lot of work!

    GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!! You can’t be natural and wear a weave, wig, extentions…etc. YOU CAN’T WIN FOR LOSING!!! Her hair is fierce!!!! It so amazing how naturals can be hateful of other naturals because one choose to wear their hair a different way.

    Natural extremist at every turn smdh, I’m transitioning to natural you can go kick rocks if I’m going to let you natural Nazi’s stop me from wearing a sew in.

    Girl rock it, it looks good on you.

    People can do what they want to their hair. Get over all of this my hair is better than yours and if you wear weaves, wigs, dye/relax your hair, or wear make-up, you aren’t natural or being true to yourself or “race” foolishness. There are important things to worry about in life, and hair is nowhere near dire to sustenance.

    Gorgeous! I’m natural and wear crochet braids a lot. Get over it! Anyway, if you can corn roll, or know somebody that corn roll, that’s half the battle. Get your hair and a crochet needle. Just watch a tutorial once, and I promise, it’s sooo easy. If my 14 yr old can do it, you can too. It’s really hard to mess up.

    I’m sorry it shouldnt matter rather a woman wants to be natural, permed, weaved or wigs they are all OK & the woman is still beautiful. I’m so tired of this natural vs weave crap. People have a choice to do as they want… They style is cute & there’s nothing wrong with someone natural doing it. Smh

    I have started wearing crochet braids, due to her tutorial. So many ways to do ur hair, and u can scratch ur scap instead, of beating ur scap. Its just more natural this way, and healthier.

    I really love this, but I’m such a newbie to this kind of style. How do you take the weave out when you’re done with it? Do you have to cut it short and undo all of the individual pieces?

    You know I love it Jeffrey Lewis. The bigger the hair the higher to God. Vonna’s hair still looks good.

    OK, What about washing synthetic hair? I usually use 1 of the hemp natural shampoos. But what about conditioning?? I do prefer human hair because it wears better when up keep products aren’t readily available. It’s getting better in Hong Kong, but not very. US stores are skitish about sending here. Have to rely on the African stores. Any Info would be a great help.

    Victoria Watkins I remember when you & your sister back in our high school days kept me with crochet braids. I had the baddest braids ever!

    I would want to do this but wouldn’t know where to start… I really want to do this… I wonder how much it would cost to have this done? Anyone?

    I did some last summer..easiest style ever! You can even get to your scalp easier too. Just google crochet braids and you will be bombarded with how to videos

    I like the parts straight back it looks natural and u can part it in different ways. You can get a bang but do straight braids close.

  241. Rita

    I love it I actually wear a wig in this style but would love to wear it like this for a more natural style.

  256. Erica Boyd

    I tried with straight hair and I have to learn the closure process still. Think I’ll try curly next
