Sensationnel Synthetic Braid Snap - FRENCH WAVE |
For her next long-term style, LeAnne wanted to go with long and wavy hair to change up her style. Since it's going into the colder months, she has been crushing on berets and I believe this style will give her the "oui oui mon amour" style she's going for. This will also fit her personality of being girly!
So let's get this started!!!
Hair, Color, And Packs
My sister wants to try long and wavy hair. From the local beauty supply store, we decided to get:
Brand: Sensationnel
Brand: Sensationnel
Type: French Wave
Color: 2 and 30
Price: $5.99/pack (purchased 5 packs)
Prepping The Hair
It is very important to prep your hair for long-term styling effectively and the correct way. I started by sectioning her hair in 2 sections (bottom and top). I braided two rows (horizontal) at the bottom and two rows across the front (for bangs). Then I braided her hair vertically and the loose braids to finish the braiding pattern.
Crochet Braids Process:
The hair is very soft, fine, and easy to split. I split the extensions in thins strands to help with the knotting/securing process, since the hair is so fine. I took my closed latch-hook and maneuver it under the cornrow, opened the latch then put the selected hair in the hook in a "bunny loop" way, then closed the latch hook.

I opened the latch-hook and set it down. Then I took the loose strands and pulled them through the "bunny loop." For a secure installation, I looped each strand 3 times (rubber bank method) and reinforced it until secure.
This process took 4 hours.
And there you have it!
