About this hairstyle
With crochet braids, your hair is first cornrowed, then curly, wavy or twisted hair is looped onto the rows with a crochet hook. It's quick compared with individual braids, the result is full and natural-looking, and your own hair stays protected underneath.
Perfect when you want a new look without losing a whole day. Book on KOUTIVA by choosing your date, time and neighbourhood in Douala or Yaoundé. The team calls to confirm the exact price based on volume and hair type, then a vetted hairdresser from our network comes to you.
Styling tips
- Big curly volume sets off an off-the-shoulder wax-print dress.
- With a headwrap tied as a band, the look stays polished for work.
- Piled up pineapple-style, the curls go well with a kaba for a family celebration.
How long it lasts
Expect 3 to 6 weeks depending on the hair you choose and your routine; very tight curls tangle sooner.
To prepare before the hairdresser arrives
- Hair washed, detangled and dry
- Your crochet hair if you're supplying it (check you have enough for the volume you want)
- A chair near a power outlet
- A photo of the volume and curl pattern you want
Care
- Satin bonnet at night, with the curls gathered up pineapple-style
- Moisturise the cornrows underneath with a light spray
- Separate curls with your fingers, not a comb
- Gently trim tangled frizz instead of pulling at it
Frequently asked questions
How long does the appointment take?
Allow roughly 2 to 4 hours, depending on the length, volume and size you choose.
Do I need to provide the hair?
It's up to you: bring your own, or ask KOUTIVA to supply it for an extra charge shown on the page. Just let us know your choice when you book.
Can the price change?
The price shown is a starting price. The KOUTIVA team calls you to confirm the exact amount based on the volume and type of hair, and the travel fee depends on your neighbourhood.
Will crochet braids damage my hair?
Your own hair stays cornrowed and protected underneath. Just make sure the rows aren't too tight and don't keep the style in beyond a few weeks.
