After months of wanting to try my hand at a custom colored unit, I finally bit the bullet and created this gorgeous purple ombre wig! If you follow my crochet braid tutorials, you know I love experimenting with color so it should be no surprise that I transferred all that creativity to custom coloring bundles.

I remember as a little girl sitting on the living room floor watching Bugs Bunny while my big sister braided my hair.  I was always excited to get my hair braided because she’d add extensions so I could wear my short 4C hair in ponytails!  I’ve been wearing protective styles off and on ever from tree braids, to half wigs to my current favorite protective style, crochet braids. 

What is Protective Styling?

Protective styling is a way of protecting your natural hair from the rigors of daily styling by tucking it away in a braided style or installing hair extensions like weaves, crochet braids and even wearing wigs.  I’ve been wearing crochet braids for over two years and my natural hair is the longest and healthiest it’s ever been.

Treebraids are back! These Zury Queendom Collection Queen Curly crochet braids are so creative. I was so excited to see treebraids make a comeback in a crochet style.

Treebraids is a method of adding extensions to cornrows and pulling the ends through the cornrow as you braid. I used to wear my hair in treebraids years ago, long before I started my YouTube #fitandfabulous channel, but I never mastered doing the technique myself.

These Queen Curly treebraid style crochet braids by the Zury Queendom Collection make it easy to achieve the treebraid look without all the effort.

This beauty here is my first human hair wig, and she’s simply gorgeous!  This natural hairline EVERYTHING! These hair companies are doing their thing with these wigs and everybody’s rocking them, from the college girls to the grown and sexy!
