Is it just me who used to associate crochet with aunties? Every recollection I have of the crochet braids when I was younger is pick n drop or one aunty hairstyle.    Exhibit A   Now that I am adulting, I get it. As Burna Boy would put it we can’t “Come and Kill ourselves”. Crochet is one of the easiest hairstyles to maintain. Once it’s in, you are just in charge of the outfits.  Exhibit B So if you want to call me aunty, because I want peace and not problems, so be it! Just add “Trendy Tresses” to it ;)   Love,   Your favourite,   Aunty Trendy Tresses
