Outre Kinky Curl Crochet Braids by X-Pressions

This is my 4 week review of the Outre Kinky Curl crochet braids in 24 inch, another of my workout proof crochet hairstyle series.  In this review, I also share maintenance tips for making your crochet styles last longer.  Enjoy and stay fit & fab!

If you follow me on social media at all, you know I love crochet braids as a safe and convenient protective style over weaves and lace front wigs.  I’ve read horror stories about hair loss and scalp damage from too much tension from sew ins (weaves) and the glue from installing lace front wigs.

Although if installed properly and with consideration for hair and scalp health, weaves and lace fronts can and have been successfully sported by women for years, crochet braids are a more versatile and safe protective style option in my opinion.

I’ve worn crochet braids since January 2017 and have experienced no hair damage. Instead, my natural hair has grown and flourished with crochet braid protective styling.  I started wearing crochet braids to avoid shrinkage from the sweat from exercising 5 times a week and to avoid too much manipulation of my natural hair between workouts.  Truth is, I’ve grown to love the convenience and versatility of rocking crochet.  I’m always looking forward to my next style!
