I’ve been eyeing this light yaki crochet install for a minute because it looks so effortless… but here’s the thing: 265g of hair just wasn’t enough for full coverage on shorter natural hair. So I mixed in a little kinky straight at the top for texture and fullness — which turned out chef’s kiss perfect.

👀 Full install breakdown:

• Base: Light Yaki Crochet Hair (265g)
• Added Texture: Kinky Straight (for blend + coverage)
• Technique: Side-to-side crochet with anchor track around edges for fine hair
• Difficulty: Beginner-friendly (even my husband helped, lol)

💡 Tip: If your natural hair is 8–10 inches or shorter, grab an extra bundle or add kinky straight for a seamless blend. For longer lengths (14”+), 265g should be enough.

Hair info: One bundle of 22 Inches 265 Grams light yaki and 1 bundle of kinky straight ( half used )

My hubby helped take out box braids. I fell asleep on his lap. When I woke up, he passed out asleep with braid hair, scissors, thread, etc all over him!!😂 Thank you, Hubbys, for helping and understanding our hair!!😊❤

The sorcery is that you always look so gorgeous. How far extensions have come. These types of crochet installs completely and effectively replace sew ins in my book because they fix all of the problems that sew ins have but look exactly the same and offer more versatility.

The install came out perfectly! As far as reusing them, I don’t think you have to go in and remove each individual one, I’ve seen another person, remove this type of crochet, install and by unbraiding the last braid of their braid down & the crochet was slipping out as they unbraid.

I love my feather crochets! 2nd time installing mine. Use the same braid pattern as a traditional sew in. I don’t use extra braiding hair, makes take down exhaustive. Crochet cornrow end thru the braid down. Just find the end when ready for takedown and start to unbraid the cornrow. The feather crochets come out with the cornrows. Use the invisible part method for no leave out. They also come out with cornrow during takedown. Hope that helps someone!

I mix yaki and kinky straight in my flat itips. The yaki holds curls so much better than ks, but I love the texture of the ks, so mixing them is ideal.
