• Regular crochet braids are basically bulk hair (hair with no weft). In order to install this type of hair you would need to tie from one knot up to 3 knots. The knots you create hold the hair in place.
• On the other hand pre-looped hair has a pre-made loop to quickly install without having to knot the hair. This type usually lays flatter, takes less time, and it’s ideal for beginners.
