Made from Collagen Protein

Each fibre is created with naturally occurring protein already present in our hair.

Our key ingredient is high quality collagen, which contains the same amino acids used in the formation of keratin; the primary building block of hair.

Looks and behaves like natural hair

What better material for your hair and scalp than a substance already present in it?

Whilst keratin is the protein the hair is primarily made up of - collagen contains plays many key roles in maintaining the health of the hair and scalp.

FAQs

For the perfect full head of braids, you’ll need the following amount of bundles:

4 bundles for a flat/low density look
5 bundles for a medium density look

6 bundles for a full/high density look

The advertised length is the folded  length of the hair. e.g. 24” bundles are 48” total in length, and 24” when folded in half. 18” bundles are 36” total in length and 18” when folded in half – as used when braiding.

Our braiding hair comes clean and is not coated in lye so does not need to be washed or soaked in vinegar prior to using it.

Our braiding hair is hypoallergenic. This means the risk of an adverse reaction is significantly minimised. However, we advise that those with known sensitisation to bovine collagen and/or acrylates opt for human hair extensions instead.
