CROCHET CURLS
WEEKLY CARE:
•Wash Once a Week:Focus on cleansing your roots only. Always  wash twice to keep your scalp clean.
•Rinse thoroughly.
•After a wash you can apply  conditioner to the curls if you like, it creates coat around hair and makes them softer and helps them to tangle less.
•Let them air dry or use the cold setting on your hairdryer. Concentrate on drying your roots.
DAILY ROUTINE:
Morning and Evening:
•Gently separate your curls to avoid tangling.
•Lightly spray water or leave in conditioner on your curls to make separation easier. After separating you also can apply  lightweight hair oil.
•Do NOT brush you curls
•Use a bit of styling mousse to keep them in place after separating
NIGHTLY CARE:
•After separating your curls, braid them into two braids or  put them in the bun before bed to prevent tangling while you sleep.I do strongly recommend to wear silk bonnet  while sleeping,  to keep your hair and  curls less frizzy.
FIRST 1-2 WEEKS:
•Separate each curl individually. Apply  recommended products.
•After the first couple of weeks, you can just run your fingers through them instead of separating each curl. When curls shaped in to tight curl you can skip products.
TANGLE MANAGEMENT:
•If you find any large tangles or hair balls, carefully cut them out. If ends looks a bit frizzy  you can use hair straightener on the ends (2-4cm) to refresh them.
MAINTENANCE TIPS•:
•Over time, your curls will become firmer, which is the goal.
•This style typically lasts 6-8 weeks.
•When it's time to remove, cut the elastic, unbraid your hair, and brush it out. After brushing very well wash your hair.
•It's normal to lose a lot of hair during this process as the daily shed hair has been held in the braids.
•You can reuse the curls a few more times, depending on how well they hold up.
