My Latest Crochet Install

So I decided to switch up my crochet style after seeing a lot of really interesting styles online that I swear were calling out my name.
So this time around I decided I'd use Marley Hair - but instead of installing then curling with perm rods as most people do, I decided to curl each individual strand of hair before installing it - this would ensure I got a tighter curl and I wouldn't be bending my head in too many neck aching positions just to get my hair into hot water.

So I purchased the Janet Nor brand of Marley Hair which I really really like (and which is the brand we use in the salon) cut each strand of hair in half, brushed it out with a paddle brush, rolled it up on perm rods, soaked them in hot water, let them dry for a while and this was the curl that I was left with.

I prepared 4 packs of hair since i was curling individual strands - didn't want to be left halfway with half my hair done and no curled strands available.

Have I said how much I love YouTube and get a lot of inspiration from there? If I haven't well there it is! I have a few favorites I follow, and a few randoms I just happen to stumble upon - and sometimes its those latter ones that make you go 'Aha!'

So I came across this absolutely cute bow during one of my trawls on YouTube and had been meaning to try it out. Finally I got my hands on some Marley braiding hair and there was no stopping me!
