Best Hair For Tree Braids
Purchasing extensions for your tree braids can be a tricky task, especially if you can't buy them at your salon through your hairdresser. In this case, once you've determined how you want your hair to look, consult with your hairdresser on what type of hair to buy, what length and how many packs you'll need. If you're looking for synthetic braiding hair for a French curl style, check out Ruka Hair's Braid-it: French Curl (£14), which comes in five colours and two lengths, 18 and 24 inches. Similarly, if you want more curls, go for their Braid It: Passion Curl (£20).
To avoid tangling and matting, which could be the result of leaving more extensions loose, you could try human braiding hair for your extensions, like YWigs' Water Wave Bulk Hair Extensions (£55, originally £100). When styling your tree braids, Ovensehi recommends the Flora & Curl Sweet Hibiscus Curl Activating Lotion (£17) and applying hair oil for a healthy sheen. "Regularly apply an oil to keep your hair moisturised. The Citrus Superfruit Radiance Oil (£18) from Flora & Curl is the perfect product as it is nourishing as well as protecting — it helps your hair to retain moisture, whilst enveloping each strand in an invisible, non-greasy, protective layer. It also tames frizz and flyaways too."
