20 Best Human Hair For Braiding (2023 Updated)

I read a review from Loretta D. stating she had to use runbberbands to keep the hair in. That is an issue with your braider, not the hair. The hair is great quality and my braider is amazing. I have had my hair in for 6 months.

I wash it and it is still very nice. I have new growth so i am getting them taken out next week. But the hair has been through several rains, washes, ponytails, buns, and sleeping on and it’s still in good excellent quality.

It doesnt look knotted or anything.

I have been using this type of hair to braid my hair for a while now. I am quite happy with the results. My stylist does a great job, and i’m always receiving compliments. Furthermore, it holds up well in between washes and keeps the curls intact and still looks fresh.

This item was just the perfect product needed to complete my style. Human hair milkey way brand that I have used for more than ten years because this type of hair can be styled and maneuvered just like ones own hair.

O love it.

These shoes fit just the way I like — snug on the instep with a roomy toe box — and they provide great support. They felt great right out of the box. I rated the shoes only four stars because the support just doesn’t seem to last very long, even though I use the shoes for walking, not running.

After two or three months, it almost feels like there’s nothing between my feet and the ground. This is not particular to this model, however. None of the other shoes I’ve tried last any longer, and they don’t fit nearly as well.

Note to ASICS: please stock more of these in women’s large sizes. These are available only once or twice a year, so I often must buy men’s shoes, which are too loose in the heels and insteps.

One day my chiropractor told me that I was pronating – the likely cause of medial knee pain. That night I looked up the best support shoe for this condition and found Kayano-28. Within 3 days my knee pain was gone and I’ve only worn Asics gel-Kayano 28 shoes every day ever since.

I have 4 pair. (I fear the chiropractor wanted to make me orthotics and missed out because of these shoes. ).

Been a Kayano runner for 10+ years. The back heel frays and breaks down within a week. Contacted ASICS for support and it was indicated that there was nothing wrong with the shoes. Recommend trying a previous model or finding a new brand because it’s no longer durable.

I am not a sytlist, but I come from a family of stylist, and taught myself how to color all types of hair. Not being vain, but everyone comments how extremely well I color hair, especially blondes, reds, auburns.

colors 27, 30, 34, and golden blondes. I read the reviews before my initial purchase and almost decided NOT TO PURCHASE the hair, because everyone stated that the hair could not be colored. However, I took the challenge and decided to go ahead and purchase the hair.

I colored it and must admit. the hair came out STUNNING!! So, let me share with the sisterhood how I did this. If you want to color this hair do the following: 1. PURCHASE the 1B (do not purchased the black) 2.

Purchase 3-4 packs of “Clairol BW2 Extras Strength Powder Lightener”—if you buy alot of hair. you will need to purchase more Clairol. 2. Use both a 20 and 30 CREME developer 3. Use a mixing bowl and Mix 60% of the 20 developer and 40% of the 30 developer for EACH PACK OF BW2 lightener.

Make sure the consistency is somewhat fluid. That is, NOT TOO RUNNY, but stir out the lumps in your mixture. For each pack of hair, I used one pack of BW2. 4. NOw, dip each pack of hair into the mixing bowl.

ONE PACK AT A TIME. With your fingers, massage in the developer into the hair. Now, lay the hair flat and wrap the hair in SARAN WRAP. not foil. 5. Now take a break. and let the hair do it’s thing for about 3 hours.

depending how light you want the hair. I waited about 1. 5 hours. and the color is a gorgeous COPPER. 6. After I obtained my color, I wanted a beautiful blonde “hue. ” So, first, I conditioned the hair for about 30 minutes.

Then I used the blow dryer to semi-dry the hair. Then I soaked the hair in ADORE CELLOPHANE, —GINGER color. Let it stay on about 5-6 hours WITH NOT HEAT. If you place it under a hair dryer, you can speed up the time.

7. Next morning, I rinsed the hair in cold water,. and the hair is GORGEOUS! I also had the nerve to curl the hair w/rod rollers, because I wanted a little more curls because after coloring, the curl pattern becomes a little loose.

Any questions, just post a message. Enjoy!.

***** Curl-The reason why I waited to do my review is because I wanted to install it first and wear the **** out of it to give a honest review from my experience. anyway. I purchased both the pre-loop & standard loop.

the standard loop have more hair but the pre-loop is faster to install/remove Also once removed the standard loop is easier to detangle and the curls were more defined /also it doesn’t tangle as much as the pre-loop.

The pre-loop curls snapped back but I really had to do the shingling method to activate the curl. I used the goodie black bean detangler brush and my fingers with a little bit of water to bring the hair back to life.

Little shedding. hair is bouncy & soft. Yes the hair tangles somewhat but not to the extreme. as per the instructions. DO NOT use oily products. I purchased oil free products and used as needed. Will I purchase more.

YES. I will be reinstalling in another 2-3 weeks and will update after second use to see how well the hair hold up.

I LOVE THIS 100% HUMAN Hair crochet braids. It is so soft and manageable. My Stylist cannot believe how well it works on installing. I searched everywhere and could only find human hair blends. Thank you so much.

I am telling everyone I know about this treasure. My only wish is that it come in more colors. My stylist tried to dye it but that did not work well. I have always worn color 30 or cl ose to it and wearing dark is new for me.

Surprisingly I LOVE the 1B color on me. Thank you for truly amazing product!.

I’ve purchased the hair for a destination wedding to Costa Rica. I wanted to have my hair in braids and desired soft flowy curls so I can style it easier and in different ways as well. I love the quality of the hair sent to me.

It’s super soft, wasn’t tangling, very little shedding and it’s beautiful. I’ve gotten many compliments from friends and family. For my style, I used a pack and an 1/3rd. It gives me the perfect fullness.

This was the 26 inch. I can also see myself reusing them in the future. One of my braids fell off and I was able to easily unbraid and rebraid it without difficulty. Through that process, I was able to see that I could actually reuse them.

If you really want high quality, reusable, and beautiful human hair for braiding, this is it! We’ll worth every penny. Will be returning for more in the near future.

I have purchased their bulk hair before for micro braids and I had no problem with it. I loved it so I purchased it again in December. I advise anyone if you purchased this hair in advance like I did but wasn’t planning on using it until a later date.

Make sure you try it wash it or something. I made this purchase in December but didn’t have it installed until March the biggest mistake and waste of money I ever made. Not only was this a bad batch of hair but their is nothing that can be done because you have installed it and you have had the hair over 14 days even if it has only been installed for a week today and I have to take it down.

This hair frizzed on me for one thing then I tried to wash and condition it like their website say. The biggest mistake, this hair tangled on me so bad that I couldn’t get it a loose that I had to cut it out.

I contacted perfect locks and their excuse was you can’t fold bulk hair because the cuticles are attached and it causes friction which causes tangling. Well unless they have a different way of doing micro braids the hair has to be fold.

Between the price of this hair and the instillation $700 gone to waste. I have very sensitive skin so when I think I have found a company that sells a good grade of hair I try to stick with it. This hair is itching and tangling and frizzing and their solution is to send you a travel set of their shampoo & conditioner.

So please test your hair prior to the 14 days.

I purchased three bundles of the 26 inch curly hair. I waited to review until after my stylist braided my hair, but it looked and felt beautiful right out of the package. During the install, the hair tangled terribly, and a lot of it was lost with this shedding.

After she finished braiding, the hair was no longer curly, and was horribly tangled. It did not respond to the water and mousse either. High quality hair does not require this treatment. I then had to go through and detangle and comb through each braid to make it even presentable.

After all of this the hair has a loose wave, not curly at all. I put my braids in two big braids to prevent re-tangling, but still had to detangle again around the perimeter. The hair I bought in packs at the beauty supply performed 100% better than this, and I even would prefer synthetic hair over this because then I would have the length I wanted and the texture, saving at least $500.

This is the second time this site has let me order something that they “could not get from the manufacture”. What post something as available when it’s not! Why charge my card before confirming you have the product.

My hair appointments was based on the availability of this product. I am not interested in your alternate recommendations of a different color. If I’d wanted that as an option it would have been a 2nd choice.

I want a refund! Terribly disappointed.

This hair is absolutely terrible. The texture is dry and brittle and it sheds like crazy. Pretty sure it’s not a hundred percent human hair either. Milky Way bulk is way better super soft to the touch and doesn’t shed.

They sold out of the Milky Way so had to buy The Saga. Not going to even use the rest of the hair throwing it straight in the garbage.

The hair was really nice! I ordered two bags I may should have ordered 3 bags. After wearing the hair a little longer I will come back on and give you another review but thanks soo much

The hair was in perfect condition and was exactly what I was looking for at an amazing price! It also came 2 days before originally projected!

Beautiful luxurious hair.

The hair is soft & nice. No smell & of course wash before use. For a full head you need about 6 pks. I was able to color this hair as well. A protective style with human hair, my go to.

I use 3 packs of the 27 at a time. I usually keep it in for a month because my scalp is sensitive, but if it wasn’t for that I would do 1. 5- 2 months. Because this is synthetic hair I always do a 15min vinegar and water wash (for sensitive scalps) to remove any chemicals before adding the hair to my head.

This hair can get wet. Since I work out a lot I will wash my scalp (ensuring the shampoo is only massaging my scalp and not the hair) while the hair is still in and let it air dry. I have swam in it.

To take care of it I will rinse it with water and trim it over time (once a week or every 2wks). Any who, it’s my favorite.

I really love this hair. It is the best I have ever used. The texture feels natural to my hair. The only problem I have with Ebony is they are always out of TT27. It seems like a lot of people buy this color.

You would think they would keep this in stock at all times. Ebony, please, please get more of TT27 and keep it stock. This hair is great.

It very happy the color of red is like clown red and not deep like the picture. It cost me 12 to send back in the box it came in and receive no refund for that. I also ask for an exchange on the color and it wasn’t given and I only got a portion of my money back.

So I would not be ordering from this company anymore for false advertising and not supply back a complete refund to something that wasn’t right and for making the consumer having to pay for returning the items that doesn’t come in the time they claim I’ll stick with amazon :unamused:

I purchased 7 packs of this hair in OT2T430. There are 24 strands in pack if I counted correctly, but they are thin so if you want thicker twists use 2+ strands. This does have to texture to it, but that expected.

I had no problem with my delivery. Haven’t installed these yet. Haven’t figured out how to add photos, but when I do I will show what the hair looks like.

I bought this hair on sale at 4. 99 and really liked the Ombre. I got the color OE2T30 and used the hair for a Havana Twist-like protective hairstyle. It came out great. People think it’s MY HAIR!! 🙂 The hair is pretty soft compared to other Marley hair and the color is very pretty.

It wasn’t hard to pull apart when separating. The instructions do not suggest heat but since the hair was Kanekalon, I straightened it slightly to make it blend better with my permed/wavy hair. Con: The only gripe I have about this hair is that the dark root parts appear to look like they just blended a short cut piece of black hair into a long strand of brown, thus making the top thicker and it thins out when it gets to just the brown.

Overall, Good Quality for the price. I will be doing a review on You tube soon. I wish to get the Purple next! So pretty and the colors really are very subtle!.

This hair is great for kinky twists and Havana twists. I last long and you can use this hair in multiple ways. It’s affordable and can be found in beauty supply stores. I would purchase this hair and because it’s close to my natural hair texture.

First off, I have to say that that quality of the hair is absolutely stunning. It’s very light and silky, and honestly the best I’ve purchased. What I don’t appreciate is that the pictures of the 14 inch, which is what I purchased, are deceptive.

(I actually don’t blame this on Ebonyline at all – I looked up this hair on multiple websites before purchasing and they all had the same pictures). The pictures of the 14 inch aren’t even close to what it actually is, so it’s very obvious the hair on the model was cut.

I’m not someone who likes really long hair on me, so going by the pictures the length looked perfect. Yet, how is someone supposed to know that the hair was cut upon purchasing? I purchased this hair expecting a certain look, and once the hair was installed, got another.

So now I’m having to adjust and deal with it. It’s extremely disappointing because I loved the images of the shorter hair and was so excited to work that look. No doubt, the hair quality is top notch, so I’ll make it work.

All I’m saying is to be cautious and mindful if you decide to get the 14 inch because all of the pictures are whole lies.

I have this hair in now and absolutely love it. I’ve received so many compliments from it looking so natural. Like it doesn’t look like I have crochet hair that’s shiny or fake looking. I did have a few problems with it tangling in the back but I feel like that’s normal especially if you sweat a lot or during your sleep.

My stylists installed it by separating the pre-loop strands to make it even more natural, but I’d be cautious about this only because it pulls from the curl. Will definitely be ordering this over other brands.

I did think the price was a little steep at first, but it’s seeming to last. I’m going on week 2. I mist it with water every other morning before work and finally brushed it last night (I was nervous lol) but it made it look so full and wavy!! I definitely recommend at least trying it.

You’ll be surprised. I feel like I can’t go back to the other brands because it’s such nice hair.

I received the hair, however I haven’t had time to install it. Busy traveling. I did purchased it because of a YouTube queen I truly admire beautycanbraid. I plan to install it exactly as she did on her video.

This hair is so beautiful, soft and looks like it will be an easy install.

For twisting, this hair isn’t the greatest. I purchased thinking it was soft like the picture. On a positive note the hair is very lightweight. However, it looks nothing like the texture in the photo.

The hair itself doesn’t hold up on the twist very well. Therefore you can tell where my hair ends it begins to frizz.

I ordered this hair in 27 and 613. The colors were what I expected. It was delivered within the timeframe that was stated. The hair is good quality! I plan to order more!

I loved, loved, loved this hair and I’m headed back to order more. It was soft with a natural texture. I kept the style in for about a month & half & it still looked great. I also received so many compliments from it.

Very happy with this purchase. 😁.

Natural looking right❣️ This hair is amazingly soft and natural looking in person. The ombré effect came from me using ombré in 8” and the color 27 in 22”. It complemented my natural hair so well without leaving any natural hair out.

It also last a full 3 months for me with minimal shedding.

THEY STOLE MONIES FROM ME. VERY DISHONEST. IF THEY’RE HAVING A SALE & PROMO CODE DOESN’T WORK, THEY WILL TELL YOU TO CHECK OUT & THEY’LL REIMBURSE YOU THE MONEY BUT THEY WON’T & THEY WILL IGNORE YOU.

THAT’S CALLED FALSE ADVERTISING. I DISPUTED THE CHARGES ON MY CREDIT CARD AND SENT MERCHANDISE BACK TO THESE LYING CREATURES.

I love this braid hair. It brings out the most beautiful styles and you can do anything, short, medium or long Braids. It is amazing it has no frizz and it will look neat whether it is thick or medium size or small size braids.

I like to mix colours and try them all because they blend so well. The colours compliment any complexion tone of all woman and they really can be worn throughout the years. The bright colours will pop and stand out in the summer mode.

X-pression packet also gives you a lot of hair so its worth the value very affordable. The hair is quality and not cheap, it will not fall apart. Your hair style will last for a good month and half before you need to re-do it.

I appreciate the affordability of this hair from this site. However, I would much rather them list the two brands of hair separately. The Ultra braid, to me, is of better quality than the African Braid.

The Ultra Braid doesn’t come with the crimps in it (like the African Braid) and seems to be a little bit thicker or voluminous. In the past I have only purchased the Ultra Brand and used two packs of hair for medium/small.

I ordered for pack (1 dark purple which came in the Ultra Braid) and #2 which came in African Braid. I think the three African Braiding hair will make up for 1. 5 packs of Ultra Braid. Hopefully.

I’m writing a review about my experience on the website and online support just to have the other customers aware about it. I just received my package and I’m really disappointed at all, at the images they say the hair belong to the premium quality, but make sure you’re really buying the premium quality, otherwise you gonna be and feel impaired like I’m feeling now.

I did my purchase waiting for the Premium and I got the Sensationnel quality, who knows the difference between both, would agree with me. My suggestion after facing this is, (to the store) display on the website both types of hair available, because even when I google it, the website is saying the hair available is the with premium quality.

And the customer service online makes you feel a dumb person because looks like a machine answering your question !!.

They were a little shorter than I expected but overall these braids are really cute and very neat. Lightweight -which is always a plus for me, didn’t smell and didn’t irritate my skin. The braids were very neat and uniformed.

No unraveling of any of the braids noted. Good buy for the price, I’d recommend.

I love this hair, really mimics my natural hair texture. Easy to use. One pack does my entire head and it’s really full and soft. Crochet style last me about 2 to 3 wks, could be longer, but over time you will have to cut the frizz away and will want a fresh look.

I was skeptica if ordering through this website based on a number of negative reviews. But, Ebonyline was the only website that had the type of crochet hair, color, and quantity (other websites were out of stock) I needed.

I went through at least 15 other websites for crochet hair and there was always something missing to prevent me from completing my order. In addition, I did receive my order in a reasonable amount of time which one of the concerns that I had based on the negative reviews.

All I can say is that everyone’s experience is not the same and I sincerely hope that when I need to order more hair this level of customer service will continue.

Satisfied with the braiding hair. Did not slice through my fingers. Light weight. Dries really fast after you dip the hair. This will probably be the only braiding hair that I will buy unless they dont have a color I want.

I used about three bags for a full head cut in half.

I love to use this hair to do jumbo or chunky twists. This hair has longevity. My only real issue is that this hair is extremely dry and coarse. Be sure to really moisturize your natural hair during and after the installation to avoid dryness.

Havana braids are my go to summer protective style. I always get this this hair form my local beauty shop. The hair stays shiny and fresh. I don’t have to do much when i have my protective style. But, I also love that the hair comes in various color choices.

If i could give it zero stars I would. This hair is horrible. Do not be fooled by the lady with the pretty twists and what not in the stock photo. This hair feels like carpet. Its rough and stringy. And nappy.

Its more like a bad grade of marley braid hair. Havana hair is supposed to be more soft and manageable. This hair is a hot mess. Do not waste your money!.

Good Service. No issues on smell. Honestly it smells just like it would when I buy X-Pressions the only hair use for box braids. Best quality. Not even tangle. Even if it was it comes right out easy.

Plus with the Pre-Stretched. It was actually kinda different the way it was packed. O wish it was just packed differently but but I seen why n it was a grant to more hair than I thought. Lol, I ended buying 14 packages of X-Pressions.

If you had curled X-Pressions with the same price it be nice. But when I want curl I have to buy tressee. Or another brand. But overall it’s stupendous in my book. Don’t worry about the the bundles it’s fine.

it’s just a side opinion. The bundles are fabulous.

I recently purchased pre-stretched braiding hair in the color SKBRE (it’s an ombre that look lavender, blue-ish, and gray and black). It came in about a week and the hair came in excellent condition.

I’m definitely recommend this site and will be repurchasing my hair from here again. Overall, I am very pleased with everything from product, service, and shipping.

This is great hair and easy to use for someone who doesn’t do hair. I was worried that I didnt get enough hair but I actually did even use 1 pack. I came back and bought more. Buy it when you see the color you want because it sales quickly.

I had to keep checking back like 4 times to get the color I wanted because the first time I decided to wait and it was all sold out when I came back. Also, I think it is better with smaller braids. I used it for big braids.

The braids are so soft and so nicely constructed. I highly recommend. Shipping time was ideal. just in time for my cruise vacation. There are 11 braids per pack ( a bit cheap if you ask me), that’s a Freetress issue not EBONY Online.

I purchased 13 packs and I need two more. Of course, I have no time to order them so I’ll have to go to my local beauty supply store and buy look-a-likes that are not as nice as the Freetress.
