Being that crochet braids have become a popular protective hairstyling option for many naturals, I am sure some of you are wondering “Can I wear this style for vacation?”. Well, it all depends on the type of hair that you use for your crochet braids.
If you went for the trendy twist out look using a marley hair curled with rods and dipped in hot water, your style is most likely going to be destroyed if you try swimming in it. Not to mention it will also be uncomfortable and too heavy.
Never fear naturalista! All hope is not lost. You can still have the joy of flaunting some awesome crochet braids on your vacay, you just have to go with a different hair type that can handle wear and tear from swimming.
The Freetress Bohemian brand
Hello, I was wondering if this bohemian hair can be curled with hot water and perm rods and still hold the curl in and out of the water? The other article left me with the assumption that she just wear the hair in its natural state.
In the previous article the hair was worn in it’s natural state and does hold curl in and out of the water. I am sure the hair probably could be curled with perm rods, but the curl that you create using rods most likely will not hold.
Hey!! Love this. Was wondering how many packs of the. Kinky bohemian hair you linked to Amazon did you use? And did you cut hair at all before install?
I only used two packs for my bohemian look and I cut the hair in half. However, I wanted a shorter shoulder length look like the pictures in this post. If you want something longer I would suggest going with 4 packs to be safe.
Waterwave freestress is also great. Ive also used cozy deep just put it up in a ponytail and cowashed and moused afterwards. It held up very well.
Hi! Thanks for the advice! I was also wondering your advice on this:
My last Freetress deep twist hairstyle my hair braider braided it to my scalp about an inch and let the rest hang. I want to get the bohemian braids this time but I was wondering if I should stick to what the pack says and do a crochet braid technique or just do the braiding to scalp method?
By the way, I workout on a daily basis and tie up my hair occasionally. I’m wary about crochet braids because last time I had them, my braids would show in the back of my hair!
Freetress Loose Deep and Deep Twist hair – can you swim with this hair?
Yes, you should definitely be fine with this. The only hair I wouldn’t recommend is marley hair that has been curled with rods, as it will destroy the style.
Thank you so much for sharing this, I will definitely be trying out this hair for my upcoming trip!! I do have a couple of questions though! I will be on the island for 10 days and I pretty much plan on being in the water( beach or pool) everyday so would I have to wash my hair every single day or could I get a way with every other day? Also, I am still a lot confused about what a shampoo net is. I’ve tried googling it but no help there. Is it literally just like a hairnet?? How does it help to lessen frizz?
i’m going on holiday to Spain, i wasn’t sure of what hairstyle i should do between model model super french crochet braids or box braids. what will be the pros and cons of these hairstyles.
Can you go swimming with presto curl 26″ curls and the brand name is FreeTress
Yes, the curly synthetic hair holds up good after swimming.
I’m going on vacation on July 17 and I have Model Model glance water curl. I just want to know if it will withstand the pool? How will it hold up?
Yes, it should. I googled it and by the looks of it, you should be fine. The curly synthetic tends to hold up pretty well when swimming.
Hi Michelle, please let is know how that hair holds up as I will be heading out of town on the 31st of July 2017.
May I swim with Model Model beach twist crochets? I always wear a swim cap.
