On a scale of one to versatile, crochet braids are high on the list. You can rock any style — from box braids to loose waves — using a crochet hook and a cornrow foundation. It’s also great for relieving tension from your hair (anyone who’s ever had too-heavy box braids knows the struggle) and gives you the look of protective styles without the hours of sectioning and twisting. We’ve rounded up our favorite crochet hairstyles ahead, all of which you can DIY. A Quick TwistSenegalese twists can take forever, but you can cut installation time in half by using pre-twisted crochets. To get the look, follow the tutorial by Jai Marii ahead, where she shares how to make readymade twists look like your own.  Braidless BeautyAlthough most crochet styles require a braided base, this tutorial by TheKeyisME uses a wig cap instead. She attaches the crochet hair straight to the cap, and the results are absolutely stunning. All Locc’d UpGoddess locs are one of our favorite looks, and crochet makes it even easier to achieve. We recommend trying this tutorial by Bronniee, in which she individually attaches each loc to individual braids.    Can’t Believe It’s CrochetCrochet styles can be straight too — just set your sights on this half-up, half-down look from teeday6.
