Pre-stretched Braiding Hair - 28 Inch 8 Packs Jet Black Super Long Braiding Hair For Twist or Box Braids, Yaki Texture Hot Water Setting Synthetic Braiding Hair Extensions (28 Inch, #1-8P)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I have bought this hair many times in many colors. It never disappoints. Great hair and a great price.

The hair is very soft and lightweight. The amount of packs were appropriate for the price I paid and I was able to do my whole head. In total I have about 36-40 thick braids and I braided them down to a little past my mid back. I don't do small braids very long braids because I get headaches easily due to a neck and back injury. I am also beginning to learn how to tuck my natural hair into the fake hair better. But with that being said, The hair was very easy to braid with and did not tangle much. As a person who doesn't like doing my hair often due to lack of time and being very picky, I found that this hair made the experience better. There are a lot of things to consider when buying hair such as the length, texture, how much it brings, how thick your braids are and how many braids you have..etc but I took a shot in the dark and I was very happy with the product. I will be purchasing again and I recommend this hair for anyone who wants a solid product.

I was concerned the 8 packs werent enough for my big head full of thick hair but like some other reviews i read it was definitely enough i did small box braids and had 2 packs of hair left. the hair is beautiful, it doesnt even need to be dipped in steamed water after to give the ends that perfect finished look. the hair soft wich i love. the only thing i dislike was the hair tangle easy if mishandled so be extra careful.

So far so good. I have gotten compliments from my hair braider and others who have seen my hair and hairstyle.

If you are like me and concerned about everything you have been seeing about how toxic braiding hair can be, I think you will be pleased with this brand. First off, the hair has no smell. I washed it twice with vinegar and with baking soda and there was no residue in the water or any little bits of stuff, as I have found with other hair. After drying the hair, I braided with it as usual. The reason I'm giving it five stars is after a month when I took my braids down, the braiding hair had not caused my own hair to mat! I definitely recommend if you haven't had good luck with other kinds of synthetic braiding hair.

The hair does not do well when dipping the ends in hot water. The hair was very thick and if you are wanting to curl the ends of your braids don't get this hair because it barley curled when I did it. The hair also tangled badly when separating the hair. If you want long thick braids get this hair.

Okay so this hair was incredibly soft and easy to braid with. It didn’t smell or make my scalp itchy. It even took well to hot water setting. The problem I had with the hair is that the style didn’t last. I did 30 large box braids and within a day and a half, the hair started to become frizzy. I used a fair amount of gel to smooth the strands while braiding but it didn’t matter. Pretty soon, I had to take the braids out because the random strands started to get tangled. I’m not sure why this happened as I’ve never had it happen with other braiding hair. This hair might not be best for large braids.Overall, while it was a smooth installation process, I wouldn’t buy this hair again as I want the style to last longer than a week.

Disclaimer: I’m 1/2 white, 1/2 Lebanese, so my hair texture is thick, somewhat coarse and curly. I mainly use this for my daughter’s hair though, and she has the same. She likes to wear a protective style when she plays hockey and so we usually just do two braids. I’ve used cheaper hair and I hate working with it because it just doesn’t braid as well and it feels super synthetic and it gets under my fingernails. This hair is fairly easy to work with, it’s feels really nice, as close to real hair as you can get, and does not seem to tangle like the other hair. This is my third time buying it if that means anything.
