It was a great feeling when l tried out Aibee's full braid wig at @theeventshowng that was held in Port Harcourt few weeks ago. Again last weekend at @ocho_mma, she happened to be one of the vendors at the event. She sold out her braid wigs at the event. l feel l shouldn't keep this good feeling and goodnews to myself. So today will be all about Aibee's braid wig.
lt is true that the taste of the pudding is in the eating. l have come across a few brands of handmade braid wigs. Some of them have very visible spaces in between the braids that you will need to struggle to get a good styling that will hide them, thereby limiting your styling options. Some others do not properly fit on head, making you feel self conscious and too careful that it does not fall off from your hair and embarrass you.
But Aibee' braid wig is everything. lt is professionally made to hold on tight on the head, but not too tight to make you uncomfortable. You could jump and tumble with it without fears.. Sounds like am exaggerating..lol.. You have more styling options too.
So ladies, you need not worry about where and how to get a perfect braid wig.
You have a bad hair day? You have a dinner/event to attend and you are too busy to visit the salon or short of ideas on hair style? You want a full hair of braid wig in less than a minute? Just flip on Aibee's braid wig, style or let it fall of your shoulders and you are good to go.
It goes for #15,000. I must say it is affordable. A full braid wig in 24" for #15,000 naira! Babes, that is a cool bargain.
If you want it customized in different colors, length, and braid type and size, she's got you covered too.

This post has been on my desk for some weeks now. I have been procrastinating publishing it till now.
This is a review on my first Havana twist crochet braids. I got many questions and compliments and even made new friends during its installation, so it is worth making a review on it. Though I could not get pictures of the process of install but I will show you similar pictures.
What I used
I used Cro-Havana twist from freedom hair collection, 3c 12 inches color 1. I must say, I like the beautiful attractive quality packaging. Each pack contains 8 pieces of 2-in-1 pretwisted hair. I used 6 packs and still felt it wasn't full enough.
Freedom hair collection does have other different crochet braid types in varied length and limited colors. You will see some of them displayed at the back of the packaging.
Below the back side of the packaging are pictures of crochet braid pattern and the process of installation.
Actually, I did not use the suggested crochet braid pattern. I got stylist close home to make mine like that in the picture below. Mine was 10 cornrows in all, 3 one each side and in the middle, 2 pairs meeting midway into one cornrow. Then I installed the crochet braids myself. It was so easy and quick. In 2 hours or less you are done.
Pros
The crochet braid is soft and feels real light on head and bouncy.
Its a preferable type for quick crochet braid install.
It is easy to wash hair underneath, so wash day is less dramatic.
Cons
The no-good thing about it is that, it frizzes and tangles easily, with hair sticking out easily from the hair body which my left eye will testify to.
It can get real rough in about 2 weeks when not handled with care. I have come across ladies that wore theirs for barely 2 weeks and it looked like they have had it on for months. So I challenged mine to 4 -6 weeks.
To prevent the early tangles and roughness, I do not hid the bed without wrapping the braids up in a satin scarf. To lengthen the life span, it is best to pack it up in a pineaple method, then wrap up in satin scarf.
Styling Options
The first few days of install, I was not just feeling the braids, so I had it most times in an uphair do styling with scarf covering the exposed back side. As the days run into weeks and with the compliments that came along, I got more comfortable and came to like it.
Is it reusable?
I doubt. Even with all the pampering I gave it, I got a bit disappointed when taking it down. At the time of uninstall, it looked like it will go in on a reinstall, but the tangles and frizzes dominating the cornrows area made the crochet braids removal process tricky and unsmooth. I had to cut out about 6 crochet braids with scissors close to the cornrows to save my natural hair from forcefully detaching from the root.
This the picture of what it looks like after taking it down. Does it look reusable?
Rating
I give it a 7/10. Because I intend recycling it into a full hair wig, I would have rated it less.
Will I repurchase?
I don't think so but I might try other freedom hair crochet braids types.
It is the crochet braid revolution!!

Crochet braids is gaining much popularity in Nigeria now more than ever. Its a trend, but it looks like one of those that is here forever to stay because of its advantages over other braiding techniques.
To start with, crochet braid, as the name implies, is the use of special crochet hook (latch hook) to install braids on hair. The crochet hook is looped under the cornrows and secured.
The crochet braids used, can be already twisted hair, wavy, curly, kinky synthetic/human hair. In this post, more concentration will be given to already twisted crochet braids.
Advantages
* It is a super time-saver when compared to the time spent to make on box braids or twist. You can get a full head of braids/twists in 3hours or less. Isn't that amazing?
* It is gentle to your hair and protects it. The crochet braids are wrapped around the cornrows, placing little stress on your hair roots and scalp.
* It is DIY friendly. It is so easy to make at your convenience. For me, evenings and night times are free times to do my crochet. I can't imagine calling in a stylist at that time of the day.
*It can be styled immediately after installation unlike others that you will need to wait days to weeks to style.
* Uninstalling crochet braids is so easy. While I don't mind spending time to make braids, box braids,twists or faux locs, I always dread taking them down because I prefer to do it gently myself and that takes so much time and stress.
Additionally, you can remove and add braids to your hair easily after installation to suit the fullness you desire.
* Some say , it is budget friendly. But that depends on the brand, style, volume and hair type.
* It does not need glue or chemicals like some weave sew-in techniques do. It is safe.
Here are some tips you need to know about crochet braids before installing them:
* Always prepare your hair before installation by properly detangling, washing, deep conditioning treatments and moisturizing with your leave-in-conditioner.
* Consider the condition of your hair. If you have chemically treated hair(relaxed hair) or thin hair, you will need to add braiding hair to your cornrows for a stronger base. If you just relaxed your hair, wait a few days before installation as your hair is in its weak state moments after relaxer use.
* Take care not to braid the cornrows tightly especially at the edges to avoid tension and tugging.
* During installation, the crochet braids at the front part of the of your hair and the likely visible parts during styling, should be done properly for a more realistic look.
* Use specific crochet braiding cornrow base patterns for specific crochet braid hair styles so as to have good coverage. If expertly installed, people will need to get too close to confirm you have crochet braids on your hair.
