Atlanta's Top Crochet Braids Specialist

Crochet braids are a protective hairstyle technique where hair is looped or tied to cornrows. It is very similar to tree braids except that the hair is braided first, then the crochet hair is added.

Knotless crochet braids is a technique designed to create an invisible part for a more natural look. No crochet knots are seen unless the hair is flipped over. Lastly, all of the client’s hair is braided.

PhirstLadey’s HD Crochet Frontal is a special crochet technique designed by PhirstLadey to resemble clients’ natural hairline. Add-on this service if you want to pull the hair up into a ponytail, love volume and versatility. It is very similar to the theory of a lace frontal but no lace or glue is used. All of the client’s hair is braided.

There is no specific price for crochet braids. Prices vary based on the hairstyle selected at booking. For specific prices please refer to the “Appointments” tab.

Crochet braids can last from 6 weeks to 3 months with proper care. Hairstyle longevity is highly dependent on the client as well as the hair/hairstyle in question.

It is very important to cover your hair with a bonnet or scarf at night before bed. Alternatively you may sleep on a satin pillow case. For some styles you will be required to trim the hair as needed. It is also very important to nourish your scalp with oils while wearing crochet braids.

Crochet braids can be washed with lukewarm water at your own risk. Be mindful that if the hair is synthetic, it may tangle and curls may be lost. Air drying is advises since heat causes synthetic hair to straighten. If you have human hair installed washing is a lot easier since product and heat can be used to revive hair.

Heat causes synthetic hair to become straight and shiny. Therefore, if the hair was curly it will be straightened and may require a re-curl to get it back to its original state. If you have straight hair, blow-drying on low heat will help the hair to become straight and silky. Be careful when using a flat iron and/or curling iron, direct contact with the synthetic hair may cause the hair to melt or burn.

If you are using human hair you can use direct heat.

All of the hair used for my styles are synthetic hair. Please be advised that the specific brand name may not be revealed due to PhirstLadey’s trade secret policy.
