| Janet Collection Noir Tantalizing Twist Braid |
I am so excited about this protective style because 1). I have never done this before, 2). this style will take less than an hour to do, and 3). I really want to do something awesome for my sister!
LeAnne has been wanting Senegalese twists for a long while and Lord knows I was not gonna sit and do a 'zillon and one' twists for the duration of 8 hours to 2 days (give or take). However, I've been practicing with crochet braids for a while now and thought I do some research on crochet Senegalese twists...
...and there you have it.
Pre-twisted hair in a bag!!!
This is such a blessing because I didn't want to pre-twist the hair either (that's not being lazy...that's been truthful). So, when I did my research I learned that there are all kinds of pre-twisted hair! So LeAnne got 4 packs of Janet Collection Noir TANTALIZING TWIST BRAID in T1B/27 and 4.
Pre-twisted hair can be purchased from $5 to $10 at your local beauty supply, Janet Collection, Ebonyline, and

So let's get started!
Prepping The Hair
It is very important to prep your hair for long-term styling effectively and the correct way. Check out this regimen that includes washing, protein treatment, deep conditioning, and blow/air drying.
The Braid Foundation
I've noticed when I see some crochet braids, the braiding foundation is straight back. I don't like the way that the hair sets to show the braiding foundation. Instead, I created slanted braids across the front and to create an "invisible part" and to make the braids look like you got your hair done at the salon and not an unorganized mess.

Crochet Braids Process
Since the hair is pre-twisted, this only took about 45 minutes to do the entire style. You would do the normal crochet braiding process with a latch hook needle or a bobby pin (if the hook continues to get stuck in the hair). I only slip knotted once to keep the bulkiness down.

LeAnne also wanted a few shells in her new style to create the bohemian-island girl look! And why not? I'm so happy that she loves her new style, especially since this is my first time doing crochet Senegalese twists.
The Review On This Style And Hair
From LeAnne:
"I really like this hair style! It is a bit difficult to style it because it is really thick. I really don't know how to wrap it for bed, yet. This style is so easy and was really quick to do, but it can get really hot. Other than that, I would definitely get this style again! The noir hair is twisted all the way down tightly, so the twists don't come undone. I love this style!
And there you have it!
Confession: I'm really jealous of her style now...I'm going to do my hair too! You look really cute sis!!!
