How To Remove Crochet Braids

What you’ll need:

• Scissors
• Rat tail comb

How to:

1. Work in small sections and find the knot where your crochet hair is attached to your cornrows.
2. Carefully use scissors to cut the crochet hair about 1 inch away from the knot, making sure not to cut your natural hair.
3. Use your fingers or a rat-tail comb to gently pull or slide out the remaining crochet hair.
4. Repeat this process until all the crochet hair has been removed.

Aftercare:

1. Once all the crochet hair is removed, gently detangle your natural hair using your fingers, starting from the ends and working your way up.
2. Next, wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo to remove any product build-up. Follow this with a deep conditioner to restore moisture and hydrate your hair.

By following this method, you can make the removal process simple and straightforward. However, if you find it time-consuming or challenging, you can explore professional protective style removal services here.
