Pre-Stretched Braiding Hair

Pre-Stretched Braiding Hair

Pre-stretched braiding hair is ready to use straight from the pack. The ends are already feathered, so braids finish thin and natural without the pulling and trimming that standard hair needs. We stock over 60 options from Xpression, Spetra EZ Braid, Kuknus, Cherish and Smart Braid, from 12 inch to 46 inch and longer.

How to choose

  • Length: the pack shows the folded or finished length, so check before you buy. 20 to 26 inch suits most mid-back styles.
  • Bundles per pack: 2X, 3X and 6X packs hold several bundles and are better value for a full head.
  • Straight or curled ends: French curl pre-stretched hair gives a soft curl at the tip.
  • Colour: blend two shades together for an ombre effect.

Common questions

Is pre-stretched better than regular braiding hair? It is quicker and gives a neater end. Regular hair is a little cheaper if you do not mind stretching it yourself.

Is it good for knotless braids? Yes. The tapered ends make feeding in easier.

How many packs do I need? As a guide, five to eight single bundles for medium braids.

See Xpression, EZ Braid, Smart Braid and children's braiding hair.

Pre-Stretched Braiding Hair FAQs

What is pre-stretched braiding hair?
The ends are already feathered and tapered, so you can braid straight from the pack without pulling and stretching the hair first. It saves time and gives neater ends.
How many packs of pre-stretched hair do I need for box braids?
It depends on the braid size, the length and the pack. Value packs of 3 to 8 bundles are made to cover a full head. Check the bundle count on the product page.
Does pre-stretched braiding hair itch?
Some synthetic fibre can irritate a sensitive scalp. Look for packs labelled anti-itch, or rinse the hair before braiding.
