Hi all! I want to get box braids sometime in the next couple of months. Can anyone suggest any synthetic hair that doesn't feel like straw once it's braided? I would like the braids to be somewhat soft. TIA everyone
Sorry, my braids are stiff at first. But once I start using my braid spray mix, they soften up. It's cool because they stay in long enough to make up for those first few stiff days.
My mix is 95% water + a few squirts of coneless moisturizing condish + a few squirts of Infusium 23. I also add a few drops of essential oil for scent. Works great on cheap synthetic hair!
RastAfri hair is the softest braiding hair I've used. Xpressions is good as well, but I prefer RastAfri. It's hard to find in stores, but you can order it online from here:
