Crochet Hair Styles and How Many Packs You Need

Crochet hair is sold by style as much as by length, and the style you pick changes both how the finished look sits and how many packs it takes to fill a head. Super Kelly Beauty on Gratiot near 8 Mile carries the range, open until 8:45 PM Monday through Saturday.

The main families

Passion twists and spring twists give a soft, textured twist that reads as natural and is light to wear. Faux locs mimic locs without committing to them, and they are the heaviest option. Curly and water-wave styles give volume and fullness with the least visible knots. Straight and body wave crochet gives the sleekest finish but shows the install most, so it wants a careful hand.

How many packs

Fuller, curlier styles cover more head per piece, so they generally take fewer packs than a straight style at the same length. Faux locs are counted in individual locs rather than volume, and a full head takes a lot of them. Longer lengths always take more. Buying one pack more than the estimate and returning it unopened is the cheap insurance.

Weight is worth thinking about

Faux locs and long, dense styles put real weight on the cornrows underneath, and that weight pulls at the same points for weeks. If your hairline is fragile or you've had tension damage before, a lighter twist style at a shorter length is kinder and still gives you the protective break.

Pre-looped or bulk

Pre-looped hair comes ready to hook through, which is faster and more even. Bulk crochet hair is cheaper per pack and lets you control the size of each piece, but you loop it yourself, which adds time. For a first install, pre-looped removes the variable.
