Overview
A hair-locking tool set for maintaining dreadlocks, not a yarn crochet hook despite the category listing. The set packs three loc hooks (single, double and triple hook, 0.75mm) plus two locking tools in a plastic case.
Despite sitting in Amazon's crochet hooks category, this is built for loc maintenance and hair extension work, with stainless steel hooks and a bamboo handle. Reviewers use it to keep locs neat between salon visits, generally starting with the single hook before moving to the double or triple.
- 3 dreadlock hooks: single, double and triple
- 2 hair locking tools included
- 0.75mm stainless steel with bamboo handle
- Stored in a plastic carrying case
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers maintaining their own locs said the set gets the job done between salon visits, with the single hook easiest for beginners and the case keeping the pieces organized. Recurring complaints were about fragility: the hooks bend if you go too fast, the tips can scratch fingertips, and one reviewer with fine hair had the tips break off and switched products.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Three hook sizes cover different maintenance needs
- Stainless steel hooks with a comfortable bamboo handle
- Comes in a sturdy case that keeps pieces organized
- Hooks bend if used too aggressively
- Tips can scratch fingertips without care
- Fine or thin hair may cause the tips to break
Performance notes
The 0.75mm stainless steel hooks are thin enough to work through tight locs, but that same thinness makes them easy to bend if forced, so reviewers recommend working slowly, especially at first. The bamboo handle adds grip without extra bulk.

Questions about the Augsun 89
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
Is the AUGSUN tool a crochet hook for yarn?
No, it's built for maintaining dreadlocks and hair extensions, not for yarn crochet, even though it's listed in that category.
Which hook should a beginner start with?
Reviewers new to loc maintenance say the single hook is the easiest to control before moving to the double or triple hook.
Will this work on fine hair?
Reviewers with fine hair reported the tips breaking, so it performs better on thicker, coarser hair.
