The crochet braids with Marley hair style on the tutorial above is a very basic Marley hair and extremely easy to do yourself.  There are tons of different hair brands, but this particular one I’m using left over Marley hair from a two-strand twist style on my natural hair I did the month before.  After all the hair is installed, there are a few curling methods you can choose to achieve the perfect Marley look.  The bantu knots is a popular curling method you can apply to give the Marley hair a soft and sultry look.  Of course we recommend using warm water to prep the hair and Shea moisture conditioner, and then using hot boiling water to secure a tight curl.

The Crochet braids with Cuban twist uses a similar brand of hair as the Marley hair, but a little less coarse.  When doing the Marley crochet braids, it is important that to know that it can be a huge challenge to get the hair through the braids.  In my experience doing crochet braids using Marley hair with Cuban twist, I find that the more less coarse Marley hair I used, the more defined the curls!  The Cuban twist hair seems to last a little longer and doesn’t shed as much as the crochet braids with Marley hair does.

One frustrating thing about pre-dipped and curled Marley braids is the stress that comes with constantly having to curl the Marley hair.  I realized after the first week with my curly Marley braids. I had no idea at first that I had to use extremely hot water to wash the braids!  My face was literally half an inch away from the mug used for the boiling water. The method to get the pre-dipped Marley crochet braids look is very simple, but maintaining it is a little unpleasant.  To save time, simply take a piece of Marley hair and roll around the hair on a cold rod.  This will save you so much time curling your Marley braids. This method will definitely gives your Marley braids the perfect curls all around.

I have always wondered how to do knotless crochet braids before I went out an researched it. I used to think it was hard, but turned out to be one of the easiest hairstyles you can do on your own that takes very little time and effort! This styling method will help give your braids the most realistic look.  One thing I did notice after doing the knotless Marley crochet braids is that the knots were visible just a little bit.  While it isn’t much of a big deal at the bottom of the head, when you get to the top of the crown,  you want it to look as real possible.  It took me about 5 minutes to tuck them in and made them disappear.  If you don’t do that, your natural hair will give the perception that your knotless crochet braids are old and natural hair growing out the roots!
