Hey YouTube family! It's your girl Lia back again with another video and
today's video as you can see from the title is another crochet hair related
video. And today's crochet hair related video is just my Lia Lavon top five
tips for just any beginner, expert or intermediate level crochet hair wearer
out there to make and have a pleasurable crochet hair experience. I get a lot and
I tell you a lot I mean a lot of questions in a lot of my crochet hair
related videos about braid patterns about knots about a lot of things that
I'm going to discuss today in today's video. That I can have one video where I
can just direct you to if you have any question about my crochet and how I'm
able to slay a lot of my crochet hairstyles. And this video is not to say
I'm a crochet hair expert. Let me be clear I'm nobody's crochet hair expert.
I'm a crochet hair lover I'm a crochet hair wearer and I've tried over 20
styles at this point. I just like to bring you guys what I've figured out works
best for me. Some of these may not work best for you and if you have any
additional tips to share please leave it below in the comments. But without
further ado let's just get started. Tip number one everybody this might not
be just a tip this is only a Lia Lavon thing. I get a lot of questions about
what braid pattern do you have in every single video that I do. And I every time
the comment is exactly the same unless I say otherwise my braid pattern is a
straight back braid pattern and I'll insert right here what my braid pattern. What
I'm talking about when I say straight back. I mean the braids are literally
cornrowed back. I am nobody's crochet hair expert. I'm nobody's expert braider.
I keep it simple with everything I do. You guys know I love a simple low
maintenance hairstyle that means I also love a simple and low-maintenance braid
pattern. I'm not somebody who loves you know the braids go back and then they do a
circle and then there's a zigzag and then there's a. No no no. When I say
straight back and I'm about simple that's what I do. My braids go straight
back and I sew up the hang time. If you guys want to see more in depth what I'm
talking about in sewing up that hang time. I'll link up above my install of
this hair. That braid pattern right now is the braid pattern I have up
under in this hair. It's what I always do. I know I'm gonna constantly get
questions but when I straight back and when I do straight backs this
is what I mean. It's simple. It's versatile. That means I could part on any side that
I want to. Even though I pretty much part on these same left side every single
video.It gives me versatility if I want to. And
like I say it's simple for me. So braid pattern I'd say unless you're going
to a professional if you're doing it yourself keep it simple cuz you can slay
and keep it simple at the same time. That's what I do. Number 2 products.
I get a lot of questions about what products do I use. What products do I
use? You guys know I say in all my videos. I use my edge control and I use my
lotta body mousse. But I'm not sponsored by a lotta body. Nobody pays me from
lotta body. My first ever crochet style I was walking the isles of Food Lion and I
was like I need something for my hair. Let me get that mousse and I've stuck
with this for the last two years. I've never used any other mousse but this
mousse. I love this product because it's never failed me. I think you can go wrong
with pretty much no mousse. Only thing I use mousse for is really detangling. You
need something when you're detangling the hair and this mousse just works for me. I
like the smell of it. I like the feel of it.
I just overall like this product but a lot of people say well what do you think
of cream of nature. What do you think of this mousse? I don't use those. I I'm not
gonna venture out and use a different product because I love this product. So
the thing I'll say if you find a product that you love. Maybe you need to test out
a couple products to find your winner. Your winner detangler. The one that
smells good to you. The one that works well for you. The one that's not too oily.
The one that's alcohol-free. Whatever works best for you find it and work with
it. Ya crochet hair typically cost $4.99 a pack. You ain't got to spend $13.99 for
a good product. This cost me what four or five ninety-nine and I reuse it over and
over again. If I travel this is all I take with me to maintain my hair style. This is all you need to take with you to maintain your hair style. Number three
you need a bonnet. You need a bonnet. I know you feel like
you might not need a bonnet. You need a bonnet. You need some kind of barrier to
protect you and your hair from your cotton pillowcase. Your sheets. You're
just moving around. You just need something. You need some kind of
nighttime routine. Whether that's twisting the hair up. Whether that's
pineappling. Something. Don't come complaining to me because I get a lot of
complaints from people who are like how do you keep your hair looking so good?
Well what do you do at night? Nothing, I don't do nothing. Well there
you go. There you have it right there. I put in
a little bit of effort at night and my hair can still look good for the maximum
amount of time and that's because I've always been bonnet person. That's with
all my styles whether it's crochet. Whether it was sew-in. Whatever hairstyle
that I've ever had it's always been a bonnet for me.
I'd say nighttime routine, nighttime maintenance whatever it is. Is important
in your crochet hair style. Your hair can go from zero to 100 overnight and you
really need a barrier to protect that. My next tip length with crochet hair. I know
I know I'm the. Who a, I to talk about length and crochet hair. I'm the queen of
wearing my hair super super long. But I would say to have the maximum impact on
your hair keep it less than 16 inches. I say 14 inches this hair right now and
you guys are gonna ask me tons of questions about this hair. This is trendy
tresses goddess curls. Going forward from this video on I will list every single
time that I have a crochet hair on in a video what hair it is in the description
box. So you can check down there. So if you're watching a video from today
onward it's always gonna be there for you. I know I get tons of comments
sometimes in my videos where I'm talking about fashion what hair is that? Down
below check the description box. It's there for you. This hair right now 14
inches off the gate. I've cut a little bit of it but not too much of it. 14
inches and I say shorter it's probably a good spot. Now I was the queen of longer
hair before. But longer hair comes longer maintenance
I guess. Harder maintenance? Comes more maintenance with the hair. So you're
gonna have more maintenance with the hair the little longer the hair gets. I
see people who go to stylists and get their hair done. Their crochet hair is
always kind of short and I'm like dang am I doing something wrong.
And I talked to the stylist one day and she was just like no just the longer and
the more kind of short and styled that you keep the hair.The longer you can
get out of it. And I was like see that's why I be needing a expert
professional cuz your girl ain't no expert. But I love hearing what other people say.
The shorter that you can keep a hair which makes sense it's crochet hair. The
if the longer it is the more is rubbing against stuff. The shorter that you keep
it the longer of a wear you can get out of it and that's just kind of how it is.
But is that gonna stop me from keeping my hair at 14 16 inches no cuz your girl
likes length. I like length. You guys on my channel have always commented you like
your girl with length. So I like length. Don't feel like you have to
have a longer style. You can go short and it can look beautiful.
And my last tip is around knotting of crochet hair. A lot of people who install
themselves they ask me about knotting and how many times I knot my hairs. Now
this particular hair is a very soft hair. You guys check out my review video of
this hair. Whenever it comes out. I don't know if it's before or after this video
but if it's up right now this is a soft hair. I talk about how incredibly soft
this hair is. I had to do five to six to seven knots on this hair legitimately. So
you have to knot a lot when it's a softer hair. When it's not a soft hair when it's
a rougher hair. When it's a harder texture hair. I'd say I knotted a maximum two
times and I do not have an issue with slippage. That's the thing that comes
with the texture of the hair. I get a lot of questions how many times did you knot
that hair? How many times did you knot that hair? Freetress deep twist you're
gonna have to knot that hair a lot. That straight hair that I tried. What was it
Outre Dominican Straight that hair is going to require a lot of
knotting because that hair is straighter. That hair is softer and it's just gonna
require a lot more knotting. So not all hair is created equally and how many
knots. I get asked how many times you generally knot a hair. It definitely
depends on the hair and another thing about knots. You guys ask me a lot of
times Did you invisible knot. Did you invisible knot? Nine times out of ten I
did not. I don't invisible knot not because it's not beautiful. I think in
invisible knotting your hair is beautiful. And what I mean by invisible
knotting there's a technique that you can do when you do your braids to
invisible knot it so it doesn't look as I don't know bulky around kind of where
the braid is. It doesn't look bulky. It kind of looks seamless and all that. And
I get the benefits of that but your girl is a queen of habit. And she's a queen
of simple. And I like simple and I like easy. So I show you guys a lot of times
when I do install a hair I'm not invisible dying knotting. But I also don't feel like my hair
doesn't have realistic tendencies to it. My hair looks very realistic and I
didn't invisible knot. You do not have to invisible not a curlier texture hair. In
my opinion you don't. Maybe if you do like an Outre Dominican straight hair
you're gonna have to invisible knot. But if you do a curly texture hair you don't
have to invisible knot the hair and the hair can still look good. In my opinion
my hair always slays and nine times out of ten like I said I ain't invisible knotting
nothing honey. So there you have it. Those are my top five Lia Lavon tips for what
I believe makes my crochet hair journey and my crochet hairstyles a success.
