How To Do Crochet Locs With Rubber Bands

Alright, picture this: you, rocking gorgeous, flowing crochet locs. And guess what? You don't need to be a braiding wizard or spend a fortune at the salon to achieve this! We're diving into the wonderful world of crochet locs with rubber bands. Get ready for some DIY fun!

Gather Your Supplies

First, round up your squad! You'll need your crochet hair, of course. Think about color and length, get something fun!

Next are the trusty rubber bands. The clear, small ones are the bomb. You'll also need a crochet needle, the kind with a little latch is your best friend, trust me.

And don't forget a comb or brush to part your hair. Oh, and maybe a mirror to admire your progress!

Prep Your Natural Hair

Part your hair into small sections. Think squares, diamonds, whatever floats your boat, just keep them consistent. Small sections work best to attach the crochet hair.

Now, secure each section with a rubber band at the base. Not too tight! We don't want to choke your precious strands.

Repeat this process until your entire head is rocking the rubber band look. You might feel like a futuristic robot, but trust the process!

Let's Crochet!

Grab a strand of your crochet locs. Fold it in half to create a loop.

Now, using your crochet needle, gently pull the folded crochet hair through the base of one of your rubber banded sections. Think of it like sneaking a tiny houseguest in through a window.

Open the loop of the crochet hair. Then, pull the ends of the crochet hair through the loop. This creates a knot, securing the crochet hair to your natural hair.

Lock it Down

Now, you have to keep crocheting each strand of crochet hair, knotting through the loop. Do this all the way around the scalp.

Repeat this process for each rubber banded section. Make sure you’re not making any sections too bulky, otherwise you might cause breakage.

Keep going until your entire head is covered in gorgeous crochet locs! You might feel like you're knitting a blanket on your head, but the end result is worth it!

Style and Slay

Now comes the fun part: styling! Trim any unruly ends with your scissors. Add some hair oil for shine and moisture.

You can braid them, twist them, put them in a bun, the possibilities are endless! Crochet locs are super versatile, so let your creativity shine!

Admire your handiwork. Seriously, take a moment to appreciate how amazing you look. You just created a gorgeous hairstyle, all by yourself. Go flaunt those gorgeous locs!
