CurlyNikki says: I am not a crochet or weave curly, but if I were, I’d use what my stylist uses almost exclusively- HeatFreeHair. I’ve heard only good things about the quality, and realistic-looking and varieties of texture of their crochet curls, and their customer service, too.
3 Best Crochet Curls When You Want a Full Hairstyle With No Leave-Out
by Team CurlyNikki
A break can be nice. From your regular routine. From your job. From your kids. From your man. From your hair. When you want a rest, like not even a leave-out left for you to care for, braid it down. Crochet it up. But before you braid it down, your real hair, wash it, clean your scalp, moisturize your strands, saturate them with Love, dry them fully and only then braid it down with Love, add somebody else’s curls on top lol.
Braid with the final style/look in mind, being sure to mind the placement of the parts for a more natural look, especially around the hairline- you want it to frame the face in a way hair naturally does on a human lol. The fun part is picking the color, curl pattern, and overall texture. These three picks offer different curl shapes. Choose the silhouette you want before ordering extra length. Plan the installation for manageable fullness rather than using every piece in the pack. We don’t want to stress our scalp or strands.
| Pick | Best for | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Freetress Water Wave Bulk 22 | A loose water-wave silhouette | Retailer-set; compare the exact pack |
| Freetress Deep Twist Bulk 22 | A more defined repeating curl | Retailer-set; compare the exact pack |
| Sensationnel Lulutress 2X Kinky 4B | A tighter, textured finish | Retailer-set; compare the exact pack |
Freetress Water Wave: for a loose, flowing shape
Water Wave Bulk 22 is sold for crochet and latch-hook installation. Choose it when the wave pattern is the feature you want, whether the finished style stays long or your stylist shapes it shorter. We LOVE shorter!
Freetress Deep Twist: for a more defined curl outline
Deep Twist Bulk 22 gives a different repeating pattern (still loose curl) from Water Wave. Compare the curl size with the silhouette you want around the face and shoulders. A tighter-looking bundle can appear considerably fuller once separated. Follow the fiber’s care directions and let your stylist decide how much separation suits the style. Aggressive brushing can turn a defined curl purchase into a very different finish before the installation has even settled good!
Lulutress Kinky 4B: for more texture
Lulutress 2X Kinky 4B offers a tighter combination of ringlet and zigzag shapes. It makes sense when the desired finish is closer to a textured afro silhouette than a long water-wave style. This is my fave.
