Ombre Straight Crochet Braids ft. Cuban Twist Crochet Hair 

Know what I like most about this video? No fancy intro with a bunch of effects, just decent lighting and excellent explanation. The results are amazing!

This is literally THE BEST crochet hair straightening video I’ve seen in literally the past 6 years. Wow 😍😍😍😍

Girl you did that ! Perfect for us natural who have the itch to straighten !

This is by far the best straight hair crochet braid look and tutorial on RU-vid. Even AFTER watching you install I can't believe the long hair at the end isn't yours.

I followed your install technique, and your training is on point! Very detailed and accurate! It took me some time, but I didn't give up! Many blessing to you in 2023!

whoa! I didn't think it would be possible to create this look with crochet braids!

This is the best AND the most realistic looking style ever...i think this is timeless...thank you soooo much!!! Love when you use the curls my goodness It is so flawless....best ever on youtube!!!

OmG 😱 this is the MOST NATURAL LOOKING crochet I have ever seen!!!! You definitely did that!!!!

I was just scrolling and saw this. I automatically assumed it was a wig or sew in until I saw a comment that said crochet. I had to go watch. This is fire!

Every crochet style should have these edges. Knots are a huge pet peeve 😂

Girl bring your part into the camera!!!!! This just looks too good to be true and before I get my hopes up and head to the beauty supply in the morning I need to knowww!!! It looks perfect!

Keara, your straight style looks amazing! I tried straight crochet braids several years back, but only had medium success. This time, I followed your instructions and it worked! Thank you! A couple of notes: after using the blow dryer brush, I noticed that the hair still kinked together a bit. So, I wet the hair slightly with my fingers and flat ironed it. Then I spritzed it small sections with Sta Soft Fro and water again and flat ironed it again (medium to low heat both times). I trimmed the ends and viola! I can brush and comb the hair with minimal kinks and shedding. It’s important to note, if you use a flat iron on Kanekalon hair to spritz the section of hair with water first so it doesn’t burn. It also acts as a conduit to manipulate the hair.

So....I actually did this style after I watched the video. Its a lot more complicated than what she shows. The hair is VERY kinky and cannot tolerate a lot of heat from the blow dryer nor my flat iron on the lowest setting. It took me HOURS to get this done. And in the morning, the hair was matted. It looks great in the moment when you flat iron it, but it's not sustainable.

The algorithm knew exactly what it was doing making you the first vid on my home page. Usually I ignore everything and go straight to my subscriptions. This video has me so excited. I haven't cared this much about a hair video in a LONG time

This looks so natural with no leave out. 🥰 I like this better than the vixen crochet I've worn a few times.

I can't thank you enough for this awesome video! This is by far the best crochet hair video I've ever seen. I rewatched yours and Seun Okimi's videos so many times before I finally tried it out. This has been my go-to protective style for the last 3 months. I get so many compliments and people think it's my natural hair! For others thinking about trying it, give it a shot! It took me about 3 days to completely install, brush and detangle, and straighten everything. My braid pattern was also a little different so that I could redo my part every two weeks to keep it looking fresh without redoing my whole head. I do have to brush through it everyday with the blow dryer brush because it does get stiff and tangle a little after a few days. Plus it will naturally thin out over time depending on how long you keep it in and how often you brush through it, but I just fill in thin spots with more hair. Thanks Kearra Nicole!

You really resemble Kandi Buruss! This style I have got to try. Haven’t seen many straight crotchets this flawless.

I saw this video. And ran to my beauty supply. I had to try this! I love it thank you for showing the versatility of this hair! I did add OT350 like highlights. Turned out better than I could have expected. ❤

Girl! This is absolutely GENIUS!!!! I've just gotten my first sew-in since I wanted a straight look, and now I wish I had done this instead! I got the front of my leave out wet whilst washing my face, lol. You've solved all the problems and now I can even experiment with color using this method, thanks so much for sharing with us!!

As a stylist GIRL YOU DID THAT. I did this style on a client a few years back and baby we was in the salon for a minute cause I did the invisible method. I didnt flat iron it tho but you did it so well!! Great job

Wait no bc this is actually flawless. I’m blown away

I have been looking for a crochet style that mimics natural hair when straightened. The search is over!!! I love how this came out!! Thanks for being very detailed now I know to get a shorter length because of the stretch. This will be my holiday hairstyle!!

Love your accent! I think the key you've demonstrated here is using tiny pieces of hair for each crotchet. This produces that natural density we look for. Well done!

This style turned out so nice. I will definitely be trying this for Christmas. Love the color! Cannot wait to see how you cut and style it.

You did it again my girl this will become hugeeeee cant wait until you drop the tutorial on how to cut this hair.

Listen, I have been lookingggg for the right hair to try straight crochet & this is it! Thank you so much for this video 🙌🏾 definitely doing this style like next week

ma’am you are a GENIUS. God bless you and God bless the inventors of marley hair OMG. this is EXACTLY what i needed for the summer cuz i’m tired of wigs and drawstring ponytails.

The middle parting look so natural

I really like the technique you used, this is the best crochet braids I have ever seen. It looks so natural. I will definitely use this technique. Beautiful choice of hair color.

I love this look on you! I've seen another RU-vidr (Brilliant Beauty) straighten the hair so I do know as long as you don't go higher than 400 degrees Fahrenheit you won't melt the hair. It looks really great and versatile on you

Omg I have to try this😍as someone who doesn’t want to wear a wig I really want something just like this I will have to try it🥰

This was honestly one of the best tutorials I’ve ever watched. Very clear directions and this looks amazing. I will definitely be trying this out thank you 🙏🏾

Wow this is so absolutely amazingly beautiful and thank you so much! That is a great idea to start on the invisible part first because I usually do it last and get so frustrated! Thank you and God bless you

This is really cute and probably budget friendly. U did great

My gosh girl. I see you haven’t posted in months and hope you are well. Let me tell you, your videos are a blessing!! I was about to do tree braids with 1/27 but after seeing this, THIS IS THE LOOK! How is the quality when it gets wet? Would love to see a how to cornrow video. Thank you so much for sharing your insight♥️

This look like the real deal

Now i understand what to do with synthetic hair. Love this and thank you❤❤

Am in love :) This is my new 2022 hairstyle, looks so real and as its crochet, can keep up moisturising the hair from time to time, thank you so much!

I would never think this wasn't your hair👌🏽

This is so well done. It looks like a weave. You would never think it's crochet.

This is the most natural looking tutorial I’ve seen on this!!!!! I thought it was ur natural hair girl omg !! I’m genuinely amazed

COLOR 😍 YES!!! This video is about to blow up! 🙌🏽 I love this sooo much. Please show styling ideas for this 💗 tfs!!!

I'm obsessed with this method..so glad I found this video 💕

This is genius 👌🏽 My daughter wants her hair straightened but she experienced a tad bit of heat damage earlier this year and had to get a trim. Im so excited to try this style (a little shorter💇🏽‍♀️) on her with some curls 🤞🏽💗 thank you so much for sharing✨️

I will try this... I've tried crocheting straight hair and can't get it to look right or get it to stay in. The smaller sections do too! This texture will hold on to my kinky texture. It still amazes me that this hair will get this straight. The color (OT30) is beautiful. I prefer a little darker red... so maybe an OT33 if they have it. Thanks!

Wow it’s perfect. It looks like it grows from your scalp.

Might try this hairstyle for my birthday 😊 I was thinking about straightening my hair but this might do the trick ! It looks very natural & will give me that straight look I want !

This was insane 😮! Girl you really did that 🥰👏🏿

Finally trying this style! I know this video was a minute ago but do you remember if your strands were breaking easily when pulling through the one strand? I can't tell if my hair is dry rotted or if it's because I am trying to do them really thin?

Your hair came out beautiful! Can’t believe this is crochet braiding hair! Looks so natural, you gonna have me at the bss! Thanks for going step by step and explaining!🔥🔥🔥

this is the best video yet for this technique yet. can you do one using the freetress yacky bounce. i would love to see how that hair style would look using this tecnique. altho i dont think you would have to use the blow dryer with the freetress hair which may be an added plus

You ATE that. Sheesh, this is amazing.

Beautiful and realistic! Does anyone know how long this style will last?

I have no words... this was remarkably executed.... thank you for the style

Great tutorial, thank you so much! I was wondering if you could do a taking down video, I am so nervous about taking it out lol

This is the best crochet install I’ve seen. You did that!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

You look so pretty, Kearra ❤. Just a natural beauty.

You look so pretty with just the cornrows 😊💕

Nice 💕💕.... It seems like you can try different types of stuff after you finish flatironing it something like some bohemian twist or braided styles...

Yes Ma'am!!! This came out beautifully. I was just thinking of what I could do with my hair when I take these braids out...Thanks for this!!! Subscribed!!!

Thank you. This is the best video I've seen. I feel confident that I can follow your instructions and get good results.

First of all I just want to say how amazing this is because WOW! never have I seen this style done to such a perfection! Which is why I never even thought about attempting it until now so thank you! My only question (and sorry if i missed it in the video) is how long did this style take to complete? Im guessing no more than 8-10 hours

Love love and I will be trying this out. You did that just beautiful

You are a pro🌸❤️❤️❤️❤️May God continue to bless your hands

I haven't taken the time to watch a hair or makeup video since 2012...but I couldn't scroll past this Thumbnail! It looks like expensive Kinky Straight bundles! You look gorgeous, this looks amazing! I definitely want to try this! Thank you!

That's most realistic crochet hair I've seen on RU-vid

Okay got all my supplies trying this out today. Hopefully it’s comes out just as good

Omg! You’re so pretty!!! And I can’t wait to try this style out😆

Nice!!! How long does it last and stay straight? Absolutely love this❤️

You did a wonderful job! My Braider and I tried the style today. It came out well. Thank you!

Will the hair tangle up when exposed to heat or sweat while working out?

The best crotchet hair style so far on yt, great job!

I love it !! I love the colour of this hair too I hope it suits me! The last time I had crochet was Covid time !! Time for a change !

Beautiful!! So natural looking…. Wish I had the skills because this would easily be 150 in a salon🤦🏽‍♀️

So glad RU-vid recommended this to me 😄

Wow I just installed my hair like this yesterday with Cuban twist I love this crochet 😍

Would you mind doing a close up of how you prepare the hair in your hands before putting on the hook (long on one end, or equal length), how the hair is put on the hook, how you pull the hair through, etc. I am new to crochet and would like to try this on myself. Also, how do you do the back? How does the hair lay being that your coming from the side? Thanks in advance! ❤️

Yes!! Love the colour and style! Thank you for this video🙌🏿🙌🏿

When I saw the thumbnail on my some now I shall let me see because at first I was a way that can't be crochet I look so much like it was your hair. It looks so good and natural . I can do many style but crochet still can't get it I'm try and finally trying to get it right.the color look amazing on your skin tone.👍😍

I've been rocking this style in black since I saw your original video. I have this color as well but was afraid to try it. The color is awesome. Thanks to you I am no longer afraid to try to. Do you add any products (e.g. heat protectant). This is amazing. Ladies the install of this hair is so easy.

I can’t believe this ! This looks sooo good ! This looks better than human hair !

OMG!!!!! I love your crochet hair style!!!! Yours is the best by far for straight hair. I never thought to use the cubin twist hair and the color is gorgeous. I also liked your video it was very informative, thanks for the details about how you split the hair, your braid pattern, how to get the hair straight and my favorite part you showed the back of your hair. I really look forward to your next video. Many blessings to you.

Very smart. Yes, Cuban twist hair gives the Yaki look . Very nice ❤❤❤❤

beautiful! and love the braiding pattern - will have to try - looks like a good option for edges too

🙌🏾thank you I’m not so really into lace wigs

Awesome tutorial! Now im about to get back into my crochet phase 😂

I’m definitely gonna try this woah 🤯 it looks just like a silk press

My gawd, this is beautiful and so flawless looking 😍

This is my christmas hair style and thankfully I literally just received the same blow dryer

I loveeee this so much! You killed it 👏🏼. My only question is how long does this style usually last for you? And throughout the day does the hair become extremely tangled?

Wow this is great! Im about to try it today

Such a good job !!!

Beautifully done. I can't wait to try and it see how it turns out.

This is so freaking cute!! I might do this for a wedding I’m going to.

Looks legit like your hair. I love it. Edit: I think I watched this video a million times. I want to try this and ensure that it comes out as perfect as yours. ❤❤❤

How long does this hairstyle usually last you? This came out beautiful.

This is the best crochet video I've seen.

Thank you! This would be good for a kinky u part wig. No melting lace or damaging my leave out but still get a natural look!

This is the best and most simple crochet video I’ve ever seen I’ll be following this when I take out my braids ❤

Brilliant, this is just amazing. I hadn't realised I could use heat but will give this a try. Sorry if you've answered this already, how long does this last, would I need to keep straightening it once done, and when crocheting, did you loop it through just once? Thanks 🙏🏿
