Crotchet hair is simply fabulous. It’s not uncommon for me to have clients walk in apprehensive about getting crochet thinking it could end up looking cheap or worse yet, like a costume. However, I’m always impressed with how well they leave the salon. I had one client who rather than getting crochet opted to wear wigs for years thinking it was her only way to protect her hair. When she saw how beautiful the crochet was, she cried. With crochet you are free to do even the wildest things with color or length. They are versatile and they can easily pass for real hair.
Best of all, there’s a ridiculous amount of variety to work with. From textures to lengths and colors, there’s something for everyone! Plus, the maintenance is so much better than sew ins or wig installs, it makes it a much better option. I had a hard time narrowing it down to 15 looks, but those are the ones I liked the most. Some of them were more of a personal vibe, but I hope you like them too!
#1: Petite Gray Crochet Twists in a Chin-Length Bob
Completing mini twists may be time-consuming; However, when they are complete, they are a low-maintenance hairstyle that is easy to forget about. These twists are chin-length with a salt-and-pepper grey colour, and with these small twists, the hair blends perfectly, looking as if they are thin locs, or natural mini twists. I believe that this bob length is very flattering as it goes right around the jawline and neckline, and gives a nice cut in the middle of the body without being too short if you’re not used to shorter hairstyles. The fluidity of the style is enhanced by the small size of each twist because she can turn her head without the look being stiff or boxy, as larger twists typically are at this length. The work is really pretty.
#2 Waist-Length Passion Twists With Curly Waterfall Ends
I can’t handle the DRAMA of this stylist! Waist length passion twists with a half-up crown section?! Those curly ends are waterfalling down! That neutral black and warm brown color melt is so expensive looking. It’s nice how the top section is pulled back and gathered without looking too tight or too slick. The texture and volume is nice so it doesn’t look like you just came from a fancy event. The curly ends on passion twists are all the rage right now because they really create that romantic and bohemian feel that Senegalese twists just don’t have. A style this long is definitely going to need some nighttime care so get yourself a satin bonnet that is actually big enough to fit all of this inside because the regular sized ones won’t cut it.
#3 Full Silver Curls Rocking a Shoulder-Length Bob
It’s another Silver Queen! This crochet style has lovely voluminous curls that fall around shoulder length which gives that nice cloud effect around the face. Silver, charcoal, and dark strands are blended to create a beautiful, natural looking dimension that is so elegant! I’ve had clients show me photos like this and ask, “can I pull this off?” I always say yes because gray curls actually suit more skin tones than you’d think. The most important factor is getting the right shade of gray in the crochet hair. There is a huge difference between a silver-white gray and a more natural charcoal salt blend. This one definitely has that charcoal salt blend which is what makes it so lovely!
#4 Long Cascading Passion Twists With Bronzy Glow
I really love how the dark base passion twists blended with the bronze and brown tones gives an illusion of the beach during ‘golden hour’. The hair falls past the shoulders and is worn down with a side part for an asymmetrical drape. Most of the twists have an uniform curl texture so it was either very well installed, or it’s a high quality brand that holds curl pattern, maybe even both. The look is effortless because of color choice. It is not too artificial and gives a sun bleached look which is the goal with any highlighted protective style.
#5 The Silver Tapered Crochet That Looks Like a Million Bucks
I saved this one because I appreciate how purposeful and stylish the short silver crochet is that’s tapered close on the sides and fuller on top. The curl pattern is tight and small, almost like a coil-out, and the silver color is super bold with only a few dark pieces mixed in. It looks like she walked into the salon knowing exactly what she wanted because it looks expensive and intentional. I love short crochet installs for clients who want to protect their hair but don’t want length because you get to look like this while your natural hair is tucked away and resting underneath. The shape of this is well done, it’s not just a random short crochet. Someone actually considered the silhouette and made sure it tapers nicely which makes all the difference.
#6 Curly Crochet Braids With a High Half-Up Sweep
I am always amazed how versatile half-up crochet hairstyles are depending on hair texture. This one is stunning. It appears that the style is a crochet with a braided base and looped curly extensions. There is a lot of volume in the top half while the bottom is styled into tight ringlets. The length is serious, I’m talking mid-back or longer. The natural brown color has warm highlights which gives a beautiful touch. The depth of this crochet style is the density. There is good volume so the half-up is full instead of wispy, which can easily happen when not enough packs are used during the install. This look is perfect because you get the exuberance of long hair and the sophistication of an updo.
#7 Highlighted Curls With a Honey Blonde Money Piece
The honey blonde shade in front is perfect for framing her face! The tone being lighter at the front means the color sits right at her face. This is especially nice with the curly crochet because the diffused curls create a more natural look. The brown base with highlighted curls is stunning as well! The bounce in the curl pattern has me thinking it’s ocean/deep wave. I’ve said for the longest that if you’re going to add color in a crochet install, adding it at the front is the best way to go. That’s where the most focus is, and it gives the most dramatic look with the least amount of colored hair.
#8 Charcoal and Silver Curly Crochet Shoulder Bob
If there is one hair style that spells sophistication and class, it is this one. The combination of silver and charcoal in the tight curls is just the right amount of classy, not going “too mature,” and is also the perfect length for someone who wants a style that can transition from board room to dinner. The curls here are more defined and smaller compared to the rest of the styles in this roundup, and are holding their shape beautifully which tells me this is good quality hair. The clean rounded shape is also great as it is not too poofy which is a common issue with shorter curly crochet if the installation is not layered well. This is the kind of look that allows you to feel polished every single day without the hassle of doing anything at all; just wake up and go!
#9 Fluffy Afro Crochet Puff With Natural Texture
Although some may think this is natural hair, it is awesome crochet hair installation. It creates an awesome look! This breathtaking high puff is made using stunning warm brown tipped 4B and 4C coils! And don’t you just love the volume? This style works well if you are transitioning, experiencing breakage or just want to give your natural hair a break. Sporting a style like this will help you emulate your natural hair. The secret to creating realistic looking crochet Afros is to choose hair that closely matches your texture. Once the right hair is used, there’s no going back!
#10 Deep Berry Curly Bob for the Bold Ones
This may look like a head of black curls at first, but take a second look! This style has a subtle distinct berry color that might be shining through depending on the lighting. This is the type of color that most people won’t notice on a daily basis, but when the sun hits it, people will ask if your hair is burgundy, and you’ll get to say yes. Your curls are absolutely stunning. I would place your curls between 3B and 3C. Bob length keeps everything clean and manageable and this style is a great option if you want to keep it for a while. It’s nice to finish it on a Friday evening and have dinner plans because it looks nice when you’re busy and don’t want to spend your Saturday in the chair!
#11 Feedin Braids Into a Curly Crochet Ponytail
What I love most about this style is that it balances the clean, elegant appearance of feed-in cornrows and a long curly crochet ponytail, and it completely executes both. The small neat cornrows are all straight back and feed into a high ponytail, where the crochet hair takes over in gorgeous cascading deep curls. The color is a lovely deep burgundy-black which is rich but not too loud for the style. This style is excellent for anyone who has thinner edges or a sensitive hairline because, with the feed in technique, the front is done with less tension and additional hair is incorporated as the braid progresses back. You protect the most sensitive areas of your hairline while achieving a style that is full and dramatic.
#12 Burgundy Passion Twists With a Side Sweep
Burgundy is a great color choice for hair because it will always be in style. With passion twists, it just creates a great combination. These extensions are super long, with a gorgeous, deep wine burgundy color starting at mid-length and becoming richer toward the ends. The side swept style is very classy and a bit mysterious, and the glasses make the whole look come together perfectly. It is a worry for a lot of people who wear frames and want to try out bold hair, but I don’t think it competes at all. The twist pattern is chunky enough to see individual coils, but not so thick that it looks heavy. The curly texture throughout keeps everything feeling soft and touchable. If you’ve been thinking about burgundy, but worried it’ll be too much, you can absolutely wear it to the office. This is just proof that it doesn’t have to be too much.
#13 Honey Brown Boho Twists With a Loose Cascade
I appreciate the color of these boho twists! They have a nice autumn aesthetic. They resemble cinnamon and honey. The color combination of a dark base and warm golden brown highlights throughout the twists is gorgeous! The curly ends of the twists give each individual twist so much more character and movement. These twists are long, down to the middle of her back, which is actually a perfect length for boho twists. This length creates a cascading effect which is almost mermaid-like! I think the center part is a good decision too, because it helps with the clean and symmetrical appearance as the twists drape down evenly on both sides. A tip I always give for boho twists of this length is to come prepared with a way to recurl the ends of the twists if you want the curls to stay looking good for a long time. Regularly dipping the ends into hot water will help keep them looking fresh.
#14 Salt and Pepper Bouncy Curly Bob
While some may argue that there is a tie for the best install, this is definitely the most playful look in the entire post. The ringlet curls are super bouncy and playful, and put a smile on my face. The model looks so happy and cheerful, and it is so important for her to look this way in what she is wearing. The gray shades look mostly silver with some charcoal added, and the volume looks nice and full without being too oversized for her face. I think ringlet curls are really nice, because they create an elongation effect without needing added length. You would definitely catch a reflection of this style and smile.
#15 Crochet Twist Bun With Auburn-Tipped Elegance
The crochet twist updo takes only about 2 minutes to complete, but it looks like it took over an hour to do! With a crochet twist install, there are so many different styles you can do. For this look, she gathered all of her hair into a high bun and left some curls out in the front and down by the nape. The lighter, auburn twist color provides nice contrast. I think this style is suitable for an office working woman. It looks formal and classy during the week. At the weekend, she can totally change her style by letting the hair down. The bun has a lot of twists in it and it creates more interest than a plain bun would. It will look more textured and interesting than smooth and plain, and that’s exactly the look you want to achieve.
#16 Copper Ombré Tight Curly Bob
This bob is so beautiful! The black and copper color is perfect, especially in tight curls. I think I have to book an appointment. The shoulder length and bob cut is the definition of perfection. It’s also not too heavy to wear every day. The end of every curl is going to be super light and bright so this is going to catch the light so well. When the light hits the ends, it will look like the hair is glowing. It would be best to do no additional styling except maybe some more color because this pattern is already going to look so good. For a Recommended Crochet Ombre look, I suggest using the Pre Colored Crochet hair to make it way easier than trying to dye the hair yourself.
#17 Long Boho Locs With Caramel Highlights Worn Down
Bohemian locs with lighter streaks? Love it! This style is done really well. The locs look distressed, and have a nice texture woven with curls so that they don’t look too stiff and uniform. They go past the chest length wise, and it’s really nice to wear it all down. My favorite part about this install is the streaks that give it a bohemian look. It looks so much better than when someone selects a color from a color chart. This style is packed and super popular and that is totally understandable.
#18 Curly-Ended Bob Braids Fresh From the Chair
When something new is installed, a certain energy and vibe comes. The braids that I am speaking about are the bob length crochet box braids with curly unsealed tips which are youthful and not as formal. They are dark brown with a lighter shade at the ends of the curls. The braids are individually done, and the medium thickness means she did not take too long doing them. I think this length which is just around the collar bone and shoulder starts to get better with every style for crochet braids because it goes with every top style whether it is a crew neck, or v-neck, high collar, or off the shoulder. The ends are sure to look even better after some time.
#19 Honey-Kissed Passion Twists at Shoulder Length
Passion twists are great for everyone, and it’s easy to see why. The combination of twists and curls creates an effortlessly undone look. Shoulder-length twists look amazing, especially when warm honey tones are blended with a dark base around a defined, coily texture. That’s usually a sign the installer used high-quality water wave hair for wrapping. I also love this length because it’s just long enough to feel like a change and not so long as to avoid the annoying tangling that happens with longer twists. The hair will get stuck to your clothing and nobody warns you about that. This bob length also nicely frames the face and the color really complements her warm complexion.
#20 The Classic Senegalese Twist Bob
Can we take a moment to appreciate how a Senegalese twist bob is timeless? It feels like this style has been around forever, and there’s a reason it’s one of the most popular. It works for practically everyone, and the length is perfect. It hits right around the jaw and shoulders, so it’s not in your way. It’s also super easy to wear. I love how clean and polished the twists look. It’s an effortless style too, so you won’t have to do anything in the mornings. I had a client who had the same style, and it was perfect for both her interview and a wedding she went to that week. That is the sign of a quality style. It is worth noting that the ends of your twists might look a bit messy if you’re not sleeping on a satin pillowcase. Friction does tend to make the ends a bit scraggly.
#21 Big Juicy Kinky Curls Worn Free
This kind of crochet is the kind of work that makes everyone astonished to learn that the owner isn’t rocking a head of real hair, because the curl pattern looks unbelievably realistic. Closely packed, highly defined, and voluminous curls are all present, and the hair fans out completely from the back to exude full mermaid energy. With styles like these, the choice of hair makes such a significant difference, and for that water wave or boho curl pack, you want something that really mimics type 3C/4A curls, not the kind that fall limp and straight after a couple of days. The shine on this pack is evidence that it has been treated with something, such as a light oil, or curl mousse. If that’s the case, then it will look incredibly defined without any of that dreadful crunch that comes with old school gels. Honestly, the versatility of this style means I could wear it to the gym, mall, and park without any worries.
#22 Goddess Locs Half-Up With Curly Ends
If you want to appreciate Goddess locs, you need to see them in person, and these are waist length Goddess locs that are a beautiful mix of dark brown and warm woven copper. The high half up ponytail is very flattering. The signature Goddess locs have curly unwrapped ends and that helps elevate the top. With this length though, and I tell everyone this, be ready for weight. When Goddess locs are this long, they tend to pull on the cornrows underneath a lot. That tension is something you do not want to feel within days. Edges may be a concern with these stunning styles but be sure that whoever does these knows what they are doing with the braid base.
#23 Burgundy-Tinted Spring Twist Bob
Spring twists in a dark burgundy shade exude a timeless elegance. These chin-length twists, fall anywhere from chin to just past the jaw. The color is such that, depending on the light, it may appear black, but in the sunlight, you just catch a glimpse of that rich wine color. Spring twists are the ideal choice for clients wanting something with a little more texture, but without the weight associated with Marley twists. Because the hair is light and bouncy, there is no concern about it pulling the scalp too much. Additionally, the bob length means that there is going to be less product required, reduced maintenance, and your install time will be shorter (hurray, less time in the chair!). If you have considered trying color but are hesitant because you don’t want to bleach your hair, this is a good option. You’ll get to see the color for a few weeks before deciding whether or not to go all in.
#24 Honey Highlighted Waves Down to Forever
I saw this style, and I gasped, and I’m really not being dramatic where do I even start? The long, loose, wavy hair? The blended honey blonde to deep brown waves? The center part? The face framing pieces that are curtain bangs? I am obsessed with this look it’s giving mega yacht vibes and I am here for it. In this style, the crochet kind of almost disappears and looks like a sew in (in a good way) because the waves look super smooth, and the blends at the top of the waves are really good and blended. The person who did this install must have spent a lot of time parting everything because honestly, a bad part can ruin a style so I really appreciate that. When the hair is this long and this looks super flowy, the quality of the hair is super important. You want synthetic hair that doesn’t tangle easily (otherwise you’ll be fighting it by week 2).
#25 Highlighted Coil-Out Bob With Copper Flecks
This gives me “I did my hair and I’m meeting the girls for brunch” vibes, and I mean that in the best way possible! The curls sit in a rounded bob, and the copper and auburn streaks add dimension in a way that isn’t too obvious. I always tell my clients who are nervous about trying color that THIS is how you do it! Highlights in a way that catches light throughout the curl so they look light and not stripey. And the volume! The round shape of the bob is so full without being too big which tells me the install was done with the right amount of packs, not too little, and not too many. Sometimes people overstuff a crochet install thinking more hair means more volume, but it just makes it look bulky and unnatural.
#26 Ombré Senegalese Twists in a High Pony
The ombre Senegalese twists are beautiful! It has a nice color change from dark at the roots to a warm brown at the ends. When it’s pulled into a high ponytail, the brown ombre effect is super nice! I remember doing this style for one of my clients every summer. She called it “vacation hair.” It was so convenient for her to put it up, pull it to the side, braid it, or do any other style. That’s the thing with longer crochet twists, you have so many more styling options! The ends of the twists are curly because the last inch of the twist is left untwisted, or the hair used is pre-curled. I feel like this is the best way to soften the overall look!
#27 Twisted Side Braid With Loose Curly Tendrils
Crochet hairstyles offer a flexible way to style your hair. Take inspiration from her crochet twists: she made a loose side braid and left a couple of soft curly pieces around the hairline. This style gives off a beautiful garden party or destination wedding vibe. The best part is that she probably spent only five minutes on this look after installing the crochet. It looks complicated, but it’s actually super quick and easy to do! The brown highlights in her twists are stunning and catch the light so well. If you like romantic hairstyles, be sure to save this one to the board!
#28 Curly Twists Swept Up With Golden Highlights
One of the churches I attend has a woman who does her crochet twists up into an updo every Sunday. And every Sunday, someone tells her that her hair looks brand new. This is the beauty of the style; it can look completely different depending on how you pin the hair up, what pieces you leave hanging, and how voluminous the crown section is. This style has a lovely color combination of dark brown and golden brown. The curly ends that frame the face have a softness that keeps the style from being too formal. It’s wonderful that there are pieces falling around the ears and at the nape of the neck because it gives that relaxed lived-in look while still appearing to be polished. If you’re someone who gets bored easily, this is definitely the hairstyle for you, because from the very same install, you can wear it a bunch of different ways. You can wear it done up one day, half down the next day, and completely down on the weekends.
#29 Salt and Pepper Curly Crochet That Owns the Room
Crochet hairstyles aren’t just for younger people. Just look at this style! The gray mixed with tight curls makes for a stunning look on older ladies. The bob length is clean and neat without being dull, which is the type of balance many stylists fail to achieve. I think of a client in her sixties who told me she wanted to “stop hiding her gray.” We did a crochet install with a mix of gray and black curls, and she cried. It was the first time she felt her hair matched her. If you want this look to stick, do you want to embrace your gray but your hair is thinning? Or do you just want more volume? If so, a crochet bob style with blended grey curls is a fabulous choice for protective styling.
#30 From Sleek Bob to Ombré Boho Braids
Here’s another before and after! It’s amazing how a simple change in hair can shift a person’s whole vibe. From a basic bob (which is totally fine) to gorgeous long boho braids with a dark to gold ombre that brightens and softens her face. The curls at the ends are super relaxed and really boho and make it less structured. Also, the ombre is beautifully done! It’s an investment install so you’ll be in the chair for HOURS, but you get to have this amazing look for 6 to 8 weeks!
#31 Elegant Twisted Updo With Wispy Face Framers
The artistry of this updo is impressive! I love the way the twists are done, and then the bun has some pieces of hair slicked to the side, then there are soft, gentle, romantic, curly wisps surrounding her face and resting on her neck. With this hairstyle, I can picture a holiday dinner, a gala, and even a retirement party where everyone is going to look beautiful in every photo. I love the added reddish-brown hues in the twists, as they offer warmth without drawing too much attention, and the gold earrings complete the look. I know that’s not hair related, but I appreciate the details! If you have crochet twists and an event coming up, this is your sign! You don’t have to take the twists out to get a new style! All you need is a good stylist and a bunch of bobby pins.
#32 The Sassy Silver Pixie Crochet
Silver and black crochet pixie curls? That’s amazing! It take a lot of confidence to rock a short style and feel comfortable in your skin. No-crunch curls look awesome! Short curls can be overlooked in crochet, and many people think you have to go long and dramatic all the time. The upkeep on this style will be so low since the curl pattern is so good. I would love to see women in the community try shorter crochet styles more! It looks fun and is lighter on your head. Plus the process is way faster.
#33 Shoulder-Length Passion Twists With Warm Caramel Tips
I am including this image because I really like the coloring on these passion twists.. The rich brown at the roots and the caramel/brown mix at the ends creates a beautiful graduated effect. It makes each twist look really thoughtful. The length is medium, going just beyond the shoulders, which is the perfect length for passion twists. They won’t lose their shape and they won’t be weighed down too much. The twists are loose and free all the way down which allows the texture to be fully visible. Each coily twist glimmers in the light separately and shows how dimensional the style is. If you are in the salon chair trying to figure out a length, this is the ideal one!
#34 Long Curly Passion Twists With Copper Undertones
Did you see the earlier style and think ‘I want that, but longer’? Here you go, these passion twists are also chest length. The copper undertones throughout these twists are beautiful, and they are especially noticeable in the bottom halves of each twist. The volume on this install is fantastic. It looks full without being too much, and this is all because of the number of packs used and how well they were spread across the cornrow base. Many people attempt to DIY passion twists at home, and the biggest mistake I see is too many twists in one section leaving some parts too empty. If this is your first time, I suggest letting someone else do it at least for the first one. After you see how it’s supposed to be, then go for it yourself next time.
#35 The Silver-Streaked Curly Bob That Ages Like Wine
I really love the gray-blend crochet style because the silver and black combination is beautiful. These curls are gorgeous and the density is perfect to create a flattering bob and is just perfect! I also love how the growing roots look more natural with gray-mixed crochet hair than they would with a darker installed hair. Additionally, the way the hairline blends is a great ob practical point that seems to go unnoticed. The volume is also really nice and natural which is perfect for an everyday style over something more editorial!
#36 From Straight to Full Bounce, Just Like That
An example of this craft’s amazing potential is her hair, which has been transformed into beautiful bouncy curls. Such an amazing transformation inspires the “woke up like this” dream look. The crochet method allows you to protect your hair, so you don’t have to worry about damaging your real hair. Once installed, you’ll be good for quite a while. It might take a little bit of time, so be sure to bring a snack for the install, but guarantee that the outcome will be worth it! The bigger, plusher curls look amazing on medium and thick hair.
#37: That Warm Caramel Curly Bob
The caramel color paired with tight defined curls creates a warm and inviting vibe that really stands out. I love the extra structure tight curls bring to a look, and they really flatter deeper skin tones. I love how the color warm up the skin tone, and the caramel color of the curls creates a striking contrast to the curly bobs. I appreciate how the layers detail the face and give it a soft touch, but it’s important to remember to invest in a quality leave-in conditioner to maintain the health of those curls. Skipping out on leave-in conditioner will create a sticky look, and it’s going to be especially likely to happen to tighter curls. It may be a bit of effort, but the style is definitely worth it.
#38: Long Twisted Braids with Little Silver Beads
While stunning on their own, the braids become even more special with the silver beads added! It’s such an easy way to transform a protective style into one that looks like it has jewelry! For those who want length but don’t want to spend time styling it every morning, you can literally wake up and go with this look. It’s important to mention, however, that with braids this long, you have to take care of your scalp. Don’t let them be installed too tightly, and be sure to keep your scalp moisturized if you plan to keep the style for a long time. Your edges will thank you!
#39: Deep Waves That Don’t Quit
If you’re looking for true room-filling volume, your search is over! These deep wave crochet braids are dense and mermaid-esque so every angle is picture perfect plus the texture is light-reflecting. I have done this style on clients with all different face shapes and it really works on everyone because the waves frame the face and are not too overwhelming. The only thing to be mindful of is tangles so you’ll need to be strategic with your sleep style! A satin sleep bonnet will help with that for sure! As a protective style that looks amazing, this is definitely one of my top styles to install!
#40 Those Big Golden Blonde Curls
Your excitement is understandable; dark roots and beautiful bright blonde hair is a breathtaking combination! The contrast and depth really show off the fullness of the curls (and they’re really full!). The differing curl patterns create a look that is natural and that is hard to achieve with crochet hair. It’s one of those styles that is perfect for photos. Even if you put it up, it still looks nice. The blonde will be high maintenance and full of brassy and dull touch-ups, but with the volume and fullness, it will be totally worth it!!
#41: Chestnut Curls with Blonde Running Through Them
This is a stunning style that looks amazing! The highlights give the look a fresh sun-kissed vibe as they reflect light beautifully. The base is a rich chestnut color that looks good on its own, but the added blonde highlights woven throughout give it an even better look. The hair has a lot of volume, but without being heavy, which is a great balance to achieve. One downside of this color combination is that it does require a lot of maintenance with trips to the salon. The blonde highlights can look muddy if they are not maintained regularly which can be a downside as well. This look can be very versatile and can be worn for a more formal occasion or even an everyday look.
#42: Multi-Tonal Browns That Blend Like a Dream
The most notable feature of this style is definitely the color. These various shades of brown enhance the beautiful curls in a way that a single color wouldn’t be able to accomplish. The color melt is so good it looks like your hair made the decision to be fun all on its own. The colorist who did this hair absolutely knew what they were doing. It is ideal for medium density hair to achieve fullness without going overboard. The only real consideration is that multi tonal color can, as it ages, begin to appear a bit flat so you will want to consider upkeep to keep it looking fresh.
#43: Big Cinnamon Curls with Dark Roots
I really love this bold statement!!! The volume is great, but the cinnamon color is so special, it’s almost editorial, but definitely still wearable. I recommend this to someone with medium to thick hair who wants big hair because this is big hair and it’s glorious. I also love how the lighter tones frame the face. I will say if you have a smaller face or dainty features, you may find the volume excessive, so just be honest with yourself. You’ll need a good moisturizing curl cream because thirsty curls this long and full will definitely need to be hydrated to stay soft and defined.
#44: Soft Black Waves with Those Little Fringes
I really appreciate the timeless nature of this look. It’s not about being the most innovative, but how well they executed the design. The waves hit the shoulder which most people find to be the most flattering range, and the softness of the forehead fringe is calming. The layers add movement but without being chaotic which is nice. The style is going to require texture and the waves need to be intentional and defined rather than shapeless. It will require some light curling mousse when wet to maintain the waves. I think this is why I feel drawn to this look. It gives the impression that it can be worn anywhere, whether it’s the office, a dinner, or a weekend brunch. Polished styles do tend to require upkeep and maintenance. So I suppose it is no surprise that I feel drawn to the look.
#45 Silver Roots Melting Into Blonde Curls
The blend of colors in the roots and curls is very impressive. The rooted silver changing into bright blonde curls is super unique. Crochet curls are a great style option for a lot of people because you can achieve heatless, damage-free, volume, and full crochet curls. I think the ombre effect is also great. You can blonde at the top if you want. I recommend purple shampoo to keep the blonde bright. I also recommend checking the ends of the synthetic hair (if you used synthetic fibers) to keep it looking nice.
#46: Curly Auburn Bob, Short and Sweet
I’ve suggested this style to many people, and for good reason. It is low maintenance and looks good. The dark auburn highlights add some warmth to the look. A medium length is great because you can wear it down or up, and it will look good either way. Crochet bobs are light and protective, plus your natural hair will thank you for having this style! Just don’t skip on scalp care. With any crochet install, I cannot stress this enough: if the tension is too tight or you’re neglecting your scalp, you will definitely regret it.
#47: Spiral Curls for Days
The spirals’ uniformity and bounce is so impressive that after appreciating the amount of craft and effort that must’ve gone into this hair, I’d believe that each spiral was individually placed. The hair’s high quality also showcases incredible density. The spirals fall past the shoulders in a way that provides elegant framing of the face, and without pushing it into the background. For this reason, I particularly love this style on oval faces, though to be fair, it seems to work on almost every face shape I’ve seen. Tight, small and uniform spirals give the best results when it comes to maintaining their shape. This means you won’t wake up every morning to a different hairstyle! However, remember to keep the tight spirals moisturized because they can dry out quicker than you think. When you do, you can expect to see more and more frizz along with a drop in hydration. Styles like this offer a polished look without too much effort on your part.
#48: Golden Curls with All That Natural Volume
This hairstyle also has a type of charm that makes you say \”this is the one.\” Curls done the right way give equal amounts of definition and softness, \”not too tight not too lose,\” and push the whole style to the next level by moving together as one cohesive unit. Falling right around the shoulders also perfectly frames the face and does wonders for the overall lift of the style. This is the sort of style that I believe works best on people with thicker hair since it plays with the natural density that thicker hair has instead of trying to combat it. This is an awesome style for everyday wear, but it almost has a \”salon fresh\” vibe to it where people might think you just came from a salon if you wore it to a special event. To maintain the look of these curls, expect to perform regular deep conditioning treatments. This is par for the course with most curly hairstyles worth the upkeep.
#49: Ombre Twists from Black to Chestnut
I love the color at the ends! It transitions beautifully from black to warm chestnut brown. Shoulder length is the best option with these twists, as it will provide some good length, while being short enough to not get in the way or cause pulling. Since you’ve used synthetic hair here, you won’t have to worry about styling your hair every day, which is amazing if you don’t want to commit to doing a hair routine every day. I always recommend moisturizing your scalp with any style that conceals your natural hair for a long period of time, so do not skip that step. This hairstyle is really flattering for round and oval face shapes because the twists do a wonderful job of adding vertical length to the face.
#50: Cornrows Up Top Flowing Into Big Curls
My favorite is when people have cornrows and loose curls since it mixes two styles. You have the sleek sculptural looks at the top, then all the nice fullness for it. The cornrow patterns are practically artwork, and when it flows into curls with tons of body and movement, it looks awesome. This style suits thick curly hair, and the way the curls frame the face is particularly flattering for round and heart-shaped faces. The only downside, I can be honest about this, is that the cornrow section really needs upkeep; if you let it get fuzzy, it totally ruins the look. But overall it’s a really good crochet style.
