Ombre Braiding Hair (Black/Brown/Blonde 613) 3pcs Jumbo Braid Kanekalon Hair Extension Ombre Colors 3Tone Synthetic Braiding Hair for Box Braids Senegal Twist 24inch

This hair, being at such a low cost point, definitely has it's pros and cons. I'll attach images to illustrate my points. One pro being the color assortment available... very well equipped to get creative with your hair. Another pro is that it does in fact stand up to heat. Cons being the texture and amount of stretching.... please read on.This hair is very textured. One reviewer stated that it's very silky... it's not actually silky. It is textured with an added chemical coating to make it feel more silky. I didn't realize there was a coating until I had already done two braids and it made my hands itch. I had to take those two braids out, soak the hair in vinegar water, then shampoo it to finally remove the coating.If you do have sensitive skin, or plan to use it on a child, I recommend washing the hair as soon as you take it out of the package... don't un-braid it or anything just go straight to the sink. I hung mine on a hanger in the shower to drip dry overnight. You should also note that there was a bit of color bleed in the sink after removing the hair from the water.Another thing to note, is this hair is already stretched and/or feathered. For those of you who don't know what that means, in order to help taper out the blunt ends of synthetic hair, many people pull gently at both ends to ofset the tips a bit.Typically for me, I would only stretch my hair about two inches. This hair is pre-stretched.... much too far in my opinion. The frayed ends of the hair extend at least 1/3 of the way up the hair (about 8 inches). This makes it so that you have to use wax and braid very carefully to avoid having braids that look like porcupine tails.... see my comparison image between this hair and hair from doctored locks in blue.Even with braids done using natural hair only, you will experience some itchiness... simply because the hair ends poke out and can irritate. That said, these braids are extra extra itchy.... that being due to the fact that the hair is stretched or frayed so far up the bundle.Overall, I'm not displeased... I had pretty low expectations for this hair at the low price point. I was pleasantly surprised by the heat resistance, and I really like the color combos. Not sure I would buy again just because the itchiness on my back is too much for me.Edit: I have very straight caucasian hair, and have worn my natural hair in braids for weeks at a time, but this was my first time doing synthetic hair braids. That said, I finished them all and could only stand to wear these for three days before I was fed up with the itching and took them out.

Great, braided well. Very beautiful. First time attempting box braids on myself, very great hair to practice with. I would advise using a dread locking wax to make the hair less stringy. Other than that perfect.

Beautiful pop of color! Did not fade. I did not wet my braids so I don't know if this hair would bleed for me like it did in the other reviews I did not apple cider vinegar rinse the hair as I usually do because I was afraid it was going to bleed I kept this style in for about 2 weeks and then took it all down because I wasn't a fan of it but they didn't have to do with that color. The braiding hair itself was very kinky and would slip often summer braider had trouble using it but she loved the color.

Color came exactly how it was displayed. Used for fidder braids used 6 packs love the results

Confidence boost

Pros - Looks really cool once installed, not very frizzy, keeps its hold, long-lasting styles, able to handle showers and baths and every day wear and tear that a hyper 8yo puts it throughCons- easily tangled, very slippery so it's hard to wrap around hair tight enough, sheds - a LOTThis was my first shot at putting box braids in my daughter's hair, so I realize that my inexperience probably has a lot to do with the difficulties I faced. Either way, I'm not discouraged, but I'm probably going to get the pre-braided, pre-looped hair next time. I'm sure someone who actually knows what they're doing (and not a frazzled mom watching hours of YouTube tutorials) would have done a much better job. But hey, everyone starts somewhere, right?Pardon the look on this kid's face - she hates when I take random photos lol

Worked perfectly for my festival braids. I ordered a bunch of extra so I can use in the future! So long and stayed in all weekend! I got so many compliments.
