Once your entire head is covered in crochet braids, style them as desired. You can leave them as is, or curl or straighten them for a different look.

How to Find Crochet Hairstyles That Flatter Your Face
Crochet hairstyles are a great way to switch up your look without damaging your natural hair. However, not all crochet hairstyles will flatter your face shape. Here’s how to find the perfect crochet hairstyle that will enhance your features.
Identifying Your Face Shape
Before choosing a crochet hairstyle, it’s important to know your face shape. There are six basic face shapes: oval, round, square, heart, diamond, and oblong. To determine your face shape, measure the widest part of your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline. Then, measure the length of your face from your hairline to your chin. Once you have these measurements, compare them to the characteristics of each face shape to determine which one you have.
Avoid Super Sleek Hairstyles with No Shape
If you have a round face shape, avoid super sleek hairstyles that have no shape. These styles will only make your face look rounder. Instead, opt for crochet hairstyles that have volume and texture. For example, try a crochet hairstyle with loose waves or curls to add dimension to your face.
It’s Better to Go Up and Then Out
Choose crochet hairstyles that have the volume on the top and not just on the sides, as this can make your face look even wider!
Avoid Bangs Straight Across and Opt for Bangs Cut at an Angle or Swept to the Side
If you have a round face shape, avoid bangs that are cut straight across. Instead, opt for bangs that are cut at an angle or swept to the side. This will soften your features and make your face appear more oval. For the rest of your crochet hairstyle, try adding volume to the sides to balance out your jawline.
With these tips, you’ll be able to find the perfect crochet hairstyle that enhances your natural beauty.
How to Maintain Your Crochet Hairstyle

Apply a Hair Foam or Braid Mousse
Applying a hair foam or braid mousse can help keep your hair looking neat and tidy. These products can help control frizz and add shine to your hair. Apply the product to your hair before you go to bed, and then wrap your hair in a scarf or bonnet.
Sleep with a Satin Pillow
Sleeping with a satin pillow can help reduce friction between your hair and the pillowcase. This can help prevent frizz and damage to your hair. Satin pillowcases are also gentle on your skin, so they can help prevent wrinkles and acne.
Wash Your Scalp
It’s important to keep your scalp clean and healthy, especially if you’re wearing a protective hairstyle like crochet braids. Use a gentle shampoo to wash your scalp, and be sure to rinse thoroughly. Avoid using hot water, as this can dry out your hair and scalp.
