Freetress Cocoa Curl launched about a month ago so it’s the newest style from Freetress’s long line of crochet braid styles. I wanted to review this hair because Ms. Marzita B (the Queen of crochet braid reviews!) said it was frizz free and easy to maintain. Historically, I’ve had not so great experiences with FreeTress hair so I was intrigued to find one that was low maintenance.
This is my 4 week review of the Outre Kinky Curl crochet braids in 24 inch, another of my workout proofcrochet hairstyle series. In this review, I also share maintenance tips for making your crochet styles last longer. Enjoy and stay fit & fab!
I never thought I’d join the wig crew, but here I am rocking my very first wig, the Alicia Curl by Mane Concept. In order for you to understand how major this is for me, I have to give you a little history on my hair journey.
My Journey Through Protective Styling
Rocking my flat twists.
If you follow me on social media, you know that 2017 has been the year of “workout proof” hair for me. I started by wearing my natural hair in flat twists, which were perfect – at first. Flat twisting is easy to master and I love the convenience of only having to style my hair once a week. But after just one workout, my hair is a frizzy mess and the shrinkage is so REAL! I wanted more length, more volume and less frizz.
These Bobbi Boss Skinny Twists crochet braids are giving me so much LIFE! I get TONS of compliments, and people think I did a twist out on my natural hair.
Bobbi Boss Skinny Twists – 12″
Bobbi Boss Skinny Twists have a special place in my heart because they were my very first crochet braid installation. I was looking for a protective style to get me through my daily workouts. I watched tons of YouTube videos searching for a crochet hair that mimicked my natural hair and decided on the Bobbi Boss Skinny Twists due to its natural curl pattern and texture. I also loved that this crochet hair is pre-looped which makes them super easy to install.
The hair wore beautifully and I was able to wear them for 4 weeks. I could have worn them longer but wanted to remove them to give my natural hair a good shampoo and conditioning treatment.
Bobbi Boss Skinny Twists – 8″
Since my first installation, I’ve worn the Bobbi Boss Skinny Twists crochet braids many times in various colors and lengths. I absolutely love this crochet hair! It’s flirty and sexy with ZERO maintenance and blends with my natural hair flawlessly. And best of all, this crochet hair is WORKOUT APPROVED!
If you are new to crochet braids, you’ll love the ease and low maintenance of the Bobbi Boss Skinny Twists. I used absolutely zero product on this hair other than the African Royale BRX Braid Spray to maintain the luster and freshen the hair. The longer you wear them, the more natural they look! The pre-loop also make this hair very easy to remove without excessive tugging and pulling on your natural hair.
