Marley Braids FAQs

What is the difference between afro twist braid and crochet marley hair?
Afro twist braid hair is typically used for hand braiding or twisting into the natural hair, while crochet hair comes pre-looped or wefted to be crocheted in using a crochet needle; check the product name and type on each listing to see which style it is suited to.
How much marley hair do I need for a full head?
This depends on your hair density, desired thickness and the length you are installing, so it varies from person to person; some products in this collection come as multi-packs (such as 3-in-1 or 6-in-1 value packs) which may suit a full head better than a single pack.
Can marley braid hair be reused?
Many synthetic twist and braid hairs can be carefully removed and reused depending on how they were installed and cared for, but this varies by product, so check the pack or product page for any care guidance.
Will marley hair match my natural hair colour?
Marley hair comes in various shades, and matching depends on the specific product and colour option chosen, so check the individual product page for available colours before buying.
Do I need to prep my natural hair before installing marley braids?
Most people detangle, cleanse and moisturise their natural hair before installing twists or braids, but exact preparation can depend on your hair type and the style you are going for, so check general braiding guidance or ask in-store if unsure.
