MY MARLEY HAIR CROTCHET WIG EXPERIMENT

Hello ladies

Let me start by saying a big thank you to all of you who voted for Hairducation in the Nigerian Blog Awards. Unfortunately the blog did not win but I don’t feel deflated at all. I am still happy to have been nominated and will continue to work hard on the blog.

I am putting together the second part of the exercise and hair care but in the interim I thought I would share the results of a Marley Hair crotchet wig experiment I completed a couple of weeks ago. So if you are a keen hair extension or wig wearer you would have heard of Marley Hair and crotchet braids.

I was on YouTube and saw many videos of crotchet wigs. I decided to have a go at it. The salon I complete my hair consultation in (Oreola Hair Studios) are great at creating crotchet braids. I so happy when I realised that the Marley Hair they stock is the brand that was highly recommended on YouTube, Freetress Equal Cuban Twist. I purchased 3 packs.

Unfortunately I did not take pictures of the process because I honestly had not planned to blog about it but I was very pleased with the outcome. I decided that sharing the pictures might encourage some of you to get your crotchet on.

The Crotchet Wig

I am loving the look of the wig so far and how well it blends with my texlaxed and 4 months post hair. Its a new look for me and I am still getting used to it. What protective style are you wearing at the moment? Have you tried a new style recently?
The exercise and hair care (part 2) post will be up soon.

Your wig looks amazing. Where did you get your wig cap/net from?

  Thanks Hilda
  I purchased a net/mesh dome cap and merged it with the wig bases used by my wig company to create the u-part crotchet wig.

Hi Lade,
Great article! I’m not a wig wearer but this wig looks sooo good on you! Makes me wanna try it as I need a protective style since my hair grew much faster than expected (last texlaxed 14/02)… Where can I find it? Do I need to go to a hairdresser to have it done?

Thanks,
A

  Hello Ange
  
  Thank you, I made the wig for myself and you can make it yourself if you look it up on Youtube and don’t mind taking the time to make it.
