Ombre Crochet Box Braids 24 Inch 144 Strands/Pack Smoky Gray Color Medium Size For Black Women Synthetic Pre-Looped Individual Crochet Braids Hair Extensions(24inch,Black-Silver Gray)

So...The braids come twisted at the ends, I undid that and combed them out (I planned to give them loose ends anyway.) Oh, if you give them loose ends and fuss because the synthetic hair gets ratty after a while like it's not synthetic, I mean... Just don't buy this. When attempting to curl, boiling hot water has to be used, but don't expect a super tight curl because it'll be more like a loose wave. I haven't tried using a curling rod on these though, that might work if the braids are wet on a low/med low heat but I don't plan to risk it. Also, once you've given the hair loose ends, it will get a little ratty over time. Just re-dip them in boiling water and conditioner solution, you'll be fine.I've had my braids in for 2 months over my locs. I found them easy to install and work with, the only challenge was hiding the ends of my locs with braid jewelry. It comes with jewels and a latch hook tool btw. The description they use doesn't really fit the actual color transition, I happen to think the braids are prettier in person.Now... My favorite thing about these braids is they are super simple to care for.When I got the hair, of course it smelled, it's in a factory for who knows how long where they use chemicals to maintain the integrity of the fibers until purchase. If you don't wash the hair before install, then the outcome is on us as the customer, not the vendor. We should always be washing our products before install.I prefer to wash with acv, baking soda, and Shea moisture shampoo. I do a piping hot water bath and gently agitate the hair before letting it soak for 30 mins or more. I'll do that process 3-4 times or so, then follow with the same brand conditioner and soak once for up to an hour. I rinse in cool water and then boom. Done.Now when I maintain the hair (both removed and installed) I use the exact same process just, obviously not piping hot water.I've found this process to be perfect for maintaining the hair's softness and longevity.I love that I can reuse the braids and since they gave me so many I have been working on using the leftover bags to distress into faux locs. They aren't heavy at all, btw.. I actually wear my hair down when I workout so it doesn't pull, and I never feel like I've got extra weight on my neck.I'll definitely buy this again, just in the burgundy. This product in particular is hands down my best hair purchase on Amazon. Mainly because you can take them out, wash and use again.I also like that these can be used as individuals with a little patience. (This is how I installed since I'm loc'd. Some snacks, maybe a good show and some time to install.)Oh! - I also love that these have dark roots since my locs are dark, makes it a little harder to see my locs in them.I have arthritis in my hands from years as a stylist, and I can't handle braiding anymore. So when I tell you these are such a life saver,I'll literally never have to braid again so long as I take care of these.Some said one pack wasn't enough, I have a total of 81 locs and it handled that to completion with one pack and extras to spare as I stated earlier in this review. I guess some like their hair crazy full so, that's at your discretion, but one pack was more than enough for my needs.Buy them and take care of them, you won't regret it, I promise.UPDATE: it's July 18th and these braids are still going strong. I originally installed in March. Totally with the money. Still maintaining them as described above.

This hair is beautiful! The color absolutely shows up. The hair is soft and my stylist had no issues installing it. It is a bit heavy and did get itchy at times. I didn't wear in ponytails or on top of the head often because of that. Otherwise I had fun playing with styles, and got many compliments.

I normally dont give real reviews but this deserves it. It is light weight, long, and a nice size braid. I got the 24 inch. One pack was enough for my head. The install took no time at all. It was easy coming straight from the bag to my head. No prep needed. I am impressed and so pleased.

Ok these braids are cute and would have had much more potential if the were thicker. These braids were advertised as a medium size crochet braid and the are actually a small box braid. The color is really nice and the braids are very soft so if you like small braids I say get them for sure but for me, my personal preference they could have been longer & thicker or fater

I love the product. It was easy to install. Very soft and the quantity was enough. Also the length was alright. The braids are neat and professionally done. It took me less than two hours to get everything done. Also, it came with a free crochet pin, earrings and hair decor

I love it. It’s easy to install and the braids are long. Definitely would buy again

I was a little worried because I didn’t want something super heavy since I was going from short and light to long. These braids were heavier than I expected but totally worth it. I’m in absolute love with them. Not bothered by the length at all

Expected or to have a little weight but it was quite light
