Crocheted hair, a noun, refers to the technique of weaving synthetic hair extensions onto natural hair using a crochet hook. This method, popularized by African American women in the 1970s, offers a versatile and protective styling option.
Crocheted hair extends the length and volume of natural hair, provides a protective layer against damage, and allows for a wide range of styles and colors. Historically, it played a significant role in the development of African American hair culture and self-expression.
