How the crochet method works
Regular full crochet braids are created by crocheting extension strands into prepared sections of natural hair so the added hair sits uniformly close to the scalp. The method builds consistent density and volume while producing the visual effect of individual braids without the added time and daily maintenance those styles commonly require.
At Adel braids in Burtonsville a Regular Full Crochet Braids appointment typically takes 120 MINUTES and is priced at $140. We do not provide hair for this service, so clients should bring the extensions they want installed; the installation focuses on even placement to achieve a balanced, uniform finished style.
What to expect at appointment
Your session begins with a short consultation to confirm the density, length and overall shape you want; technicians will discuss how your natural hair and the extensions you bring will interact. Allow 120 MINUTES for the full service and plan ahead when scheduling, especially during the salon’s busiest months in Oct, Nov and Dec.
Adel braids is located in the Swan House Court residential neighborhood of Burtonsville, easy to combine with errands at Burtonsville Town Center or a visit to Watkins Regional Park. Clients come from Laurel, Silver Spring, Spencerville, Ashton and Cloverly, and the location works well for commuters using US-29 or the Laurel MARC.
Maintenance and styling trade-offs
Regular full crochet braids are lower-maintenance than many individual-braid styles but still need occasional upkeep to keep the base neat and the extensions aligned. In Burtonsville’s hot, humid summers, moisture and sweat can influence how long the style appears fresh, so small adjustments to nighttime care or head coverings can help maintain a tidy appearance.
The final look depends on your natural hair density, the extension type you supply and how those extensions are installed to balance volume and scalp visibility. Because we do not supply hair, choosing extensions that match your desired texture and length is an important decision to make before arriving for the appointment.
