Find the right braiding hair length for box braids, cornrows, twists, Dutch braids and other protective styles. Explore pre-stretched braiding hair, classic jumbo braid and Xpression options in natural shades, bright colours and ombré blends.
Which Braiding Hair Length Should You Choose?
-
16 inch pre-stretched: A practical choice for shorter or medium-length styles and for customers who prefer less excess fibre to work with.
-
24 inch: A versatile everyday length for many box braid, cornrow, twist and Dutch braid styles. Choose pre-stretched hair for tapered ends or standard jumbo braid for greater control over section size and preparation.
-
26 and 27 inch pre-stretched: Suited to longer styles when you want more length than a standard 24-inch pack without moving to an extra-long fibre.
-
41 inch: Extra-long braiding fibre for long braids and styles that need more working length. It can also offer flexibility when the hair is folded, layered, trimmed or divided.
Please note: Pack length describes the braiding fibre before installation. The finished length will vary depending on how the hair is folded, where the braid begins, the style, trimming and the braider’s technique.
Pre-Stretched or Standard Braiding Hair?
Pre-stretched braiding hair has tapered ends and requires less preparation, helping braiders create a neat finish more quickly. Standard jumbo braiding hair gives you more freedom to stretch, feather and shape the fibre for your preferred thickness and finish.
How Many Packs Will You Need?
The amount depends on the chosen style, braid size, desired fullness, hair length and head size. Smaller or fuller braids generally require more hair. Check the individual product page and confirm with your braider before ordering when possible.
