Human Braiding Hair

About

Human braiding hair is sold in bulk, which means loose hair with no weft: nothing stiff to hide at the root and nothing to cut off before you start. It goes into boho braids, knotless braids, goddess braids and crochet installs, and because it is real human hair it behaves like yours from the first day to the last. That is the whole argument for it over synthetic braiding hair. No itch, no plastic shine that gives it away in daylight, no melting under a flat iron. You can wash it, straighten it, curl it, take it down and put it back in. How to choose your texture and length Match the texture to the finish you want at the ends, since that is where bulk hair shows. The wave family covers beach wave, ocean wave, body wave, loose wave, latin wave, water wave and deep wave. That is what most boho and goddess braids use, because the pattern falls out of the braid and does the work. Silky straight, yaki straight and kinky straight give a sleeker, blown-out end. Kinky curly, afro kinky and Burmese curly blend with unrelaxed 4-type hair and are the ones to reach for when you want the added hair to disappear into your own. Lengths run 16, 20 and 24 inches depending on texture. Bulk hair gets folded at the root, so a 20-inch bundle gives you roughly ten inches of hanging length if you fold it in half. Buy noticeably longer than the length you want to see, and longer again on a curl pattern that will shrink. Questions people ask about braiding hair What is braiding hair made out of? Either human hair or synthetic fiber. Synthetic braiding hair is plastic fiber, extruded and heat-set into a texture. Everything on this page is 100% human hair, which is why it can be shampooed, flat ironed and reused instead of thrown out after one install. How many packs of braiding hair do I need for medium box braids? Two to three bundles for a full head of medium box braids. Longer lengths, smaller parts and denser looks push that to three or four.
