What are crochet braids?
Crochet braids are a protective hairstyle that is very popular among black people.

2. Don't pull your hair too tight: Pulling too tight when combing or braiding may damage your own hair and the extensions themselves.
3. Excessive temperature is not recommended: Try not to exceed 160 degrees when using high-temperature tools. You should also try to avoid frequent use of heat, and always use heat protection spray to protect your hair before straightening, curling or blow-drying your hair.
4. Comb your hair: Comb your hair with a wide-tooth comb before braiding to avoid tangling of the extensions.
