"L'art du crochet (en français "petit crochet") s'est développé en Europe au 16e siècle. Il a fait son chemin en Espagne, mais ses origines se trouvent au Moyen-Orient. Il était utilisé pour fabriquer des tissus et des outils de chasse. Cependant, au fil du temps, les communautés africaines et antillaises ont commencé à utiliser cette méthode pour se coiffer. Le crochetage se fait en tressant des « cornrows » sur le cuir chevelu de la tête comme base, puis en faisant tisser des extensions à travers eux.

"The art of crochet (French for “small hook”) developed in Europe in the 16th century. It made its way through Spain, however, it has its origins in the Middle East. It was used to make cloth and hunting tools. However, as time progressed, the African and Caribbean communities began to use this method to style their hair. Crocheting is done by braiding cornrows to the scalp of the head as a base, then having extensions woven through them.
