Freetress Deep Twist Crochet Hair – Soft, Bouncy, Pre-Twisted
Our Freetress Deep Twist crochet hair brings effortless, defined spiral curls to your protective styling routine. Each pack features pre-twisted, lightweight fiber that mimics the texture of natural hair, with a soft bounce that holds its shape throughout the day.
We designed Deep Twist for quick crochet installation—every strand arrives looped and ready to latch, cutting your styling time in half. The fiber’s flame-retardant coating resists heat up to 350°F, so you can refresh curls with a curling wand or flexi rods when needed. Whether you’re aiming for shoulder-length volume or a cascading protective look, Deep Twist adapts to cornrow patterns of any size and blends seamlessly with textured hair.
What makes Deep Twist unique
Fiber Construction & Texture
Freetress Deep Twist is crafted from premium Kanekalon fiber, the same material trusted by stylists for its soft hand-feel and color retention. Each 22-inch strand features a tight spiral curl that begins at the root and gradually tapers toward the ends, creating volume at the crown without bulk at the tips.
The fiber’s low-luster finish mimics the sheen of natural hair, avoiding the synthetic shine common in lower-grade crochet extensions. We pre-treat every bundle with a flame-retardant solution, allowing you to use low-heat styling tools to refresh or reshape curls after installation. The pre-twisted construction means you skip the manual twisting step entirely—just latch each loop through your cornrow base and secure.
Installation & Cornrow Prep
Recommended Cornrow Patterns
For full Deep Twist coverage, we recommend 6 to 8 horizontal cornrows spaced one inch apart, starting at the nape and working toward the crown. Smaller cornrows create denser curl volume; wider braids yield a looser, more relaxed silhouette. Always braid your natural hair flat against the scalp, leaving no loose ends that could catch on the crochet latch.
Latching Technique
Fold each Deep Twist strand in half at the pre-looped section, insert your crochet needle under the cornrow, catch the loop, and pull it through. Thread the tail ends through the loop and tug gently to secure. Repeat every half-inch along each cornrow for even distribution. Most installs take 90 minutes to two hours, depending on your cornrow count and experience level.
Styling Flexibility & Heat Guidelines
Deep Twist holds its spiral shape without daily manipulation, but you can refresh flattened sections with a curling wand set to 300°F or below. Wrap small sections around the barrel for three to five seconds, then release and allow the curl to cool in your palm.
For added definition, apply a light mousse to damp hair and let air-dry, or use flexi rods overnight. Avoid flat irons and temperatures above 350°F, which can melt the Kanekalon fiber. If you prefer a looser wave, gently separate each twist with your fingers after installation—the fiber’s pre-set curl will relax into a soft wave pattern while retaining body.

Deep Twist Installation & Care Questions
We recommend 6 to 8 packs for full, dense coverage from nape to crown. If you prefer a lighter, more relaxed look, 5 packs may suffice. Hair density and cornrow spacing will affect the final count—smaller cornrows require more hair to fill gaps evenly.
For added length or volume at the crown, consider purchasing an extra pack to layer over the top sections.
Yes, Deep Twist is heat-safe up to 350°F thanks to its flame-retardant Kanekalon coating. Use a curling wand or flexi rods on low to medium settings to refresh flattened curls or reshape sections.
Always test a small strand first, and avoid flat irons or temperatures above 350°F, which can cause the fiber to melt or lose its curl pattern permanently.
With nightly wrapping and bi-weekly washing, Deep Twist maintains its curl definition and softness for 6 to 8 weeks. After that window, you may notice frizz at the ends or loosening of the spiral pattern, signaling it’s time to refresh your style.
Proper installation—tight cornrows with secure latching—extends longevity by preventing premature shedding or slippage.
Deep Twist holds up well during moderate exercise and can tolerate chlorine or saltwater exposure, though we recommend rinsing immediately after swimming to prevent buildup. The synthetic fiber dries quickly, so you can resume styling within a few hours.
For frequent swimmers, apply a leave-in conditioner spray before entering the water to create a protective barrier, and always wrap your hair in a swim cap when possible.
Separate and fluff each twist gently with your fingers after installation to ensure individual strands don’t clump together. At night, gather your hair into a loose pineapple or twist it into two large sections before wrapping with a silk scarf.
Avoid over-manipulating the ends during the day—excessive touching can cause the fiber to tangle. If minor tangling occurs, apply a small amount of leave-in conditioner and gently work through the section with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
Deep Twist is made from synthetic Kanekalon fiber, which does not respond to traditional hair dye or bleach. The color is integrated during manufacturing and cannot be altered chemically.
If you want a custom shade, we recommend mixing two color packs during installation—for example, alternating 1B and 27 strands for a natural highlight effect—or choosing one of our pre-blended ombré options.
Use small scissors to carefully snip the loop at the base of each cornrow where the crochet hair is latched. Once the loop is cut, gently pull the Deep Twist strand away from the braid—it should slide out without resistance.
Work slowly and avoid cutting into your cornrows. After removal, shampoo and deep-condition your natural hair to restore moisture, then allow it to rest for at least one week before reinstalling a new protective style.
