Leatherwood went with a crochet wig for Government Cheese's Simone Missick. With the synthetic hair attached to a crochet braided cap wig, it's even easier than the braids method. All you do is slide it over your cornrowed natural hair, and snip-snap! Before you know it, you'll be looking glorious and brand-new.
