If you’ve been searching for Cherish French curl braiding hair in the UK, you’ve come to the right place. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a long-time fan of the Cherish brand, this guide covers everything you need to know — from choosing the right length and colour, to styling tips, care advice, and where to buy Cherish French curl hair in the UK at the best price.

At CC Hair & Beauty, we’ve been stocking Cherish braiding hair at our Chapeltown, Leeds store and online since 1979. We know this range inside out, and in this guide we share everything our customers ask us about Cherish French curl hair.

What is Cherish French curl braiding hair?

Cherish French curl braiding hair is a synthetic braiding hair known for its tight, springy curl pattern that creates a beautifully natural-looking finish. It’s one of the most popular styles for crochet braids, box braids and twist styles in the UK, and for good reason — the curls are defined, bouncy, and hold their shape even after washing.

The French curl pattern sits between a loose wave and a tight coil, giving hair volume, texture and movement that works for both casual and dressed-up looks. It’s suitable for all skin tones and works particularly well on Afro and mixed-heritage hair textures.

Cherish Spiral French Curl 3x Braid Pre-Stretched 22"

One of our best-selling Cherish products, the Cherish Spiral French Curl 3x Braid Pre-Stretched 22" is a pre-stretched braiding hair that saves significant time during installation. The 3x pack means you get triple the hair in one purchase, and the pre-stretched fibres eliminate the need for pre-stretching yourself before braiding.

Key features:

  • 22 inch length — ideal for mid-back to waist-length styles

  • Pre-stretched for faster, easier installation

  • 3x value pack — more hair per purchase

  • Tight spiral French curl pattern for defined, natural-looking results

  • Heat-resistant synthetic fibre for durability

  • Available in a wide range of colours from natural blacks and browns to bold fashion shades

This is the product that consistently appears in our top sellers, and it’s easy to see why. The pre-stretched format makes it a favourite with professional stylists and home braiders alike.

Cherish French Curl Braiding Hair — other lengths and styles

We stock the full Cherish French curl range including shorter lengths for a more compact, voluminous look and longer lengths for dramatic waist-length styles. Browse the complete Cherish braiding hair collection at cchairandbeauty.com to see all available options.

How to install Cherish French curl crochet braids

Cherish French curl hair is most commonly installed using the crochet braid method, which is one of the quickest and most protective ways to wear braiding hair. Here’s a step-by-step overview:

  • Step 1 — Prepare your natural hair: Wash, deep condition and thoroughly detangle your hair. Stretch it by blow-drying on a low heat setting or African threading.

  • Step 2 — Create your base: Cornrow your natural hair in the direction you want the crochet braids to lie. Most people use a straight back pattern, a circular pattern, or a parting pattern depending on the desired finish.

  • Step 3 — Attach the hair: Using a crochet needle, loop the Cherish French curl hair through each cornrow and pull the ends through to secure.

  • Step 4 — Style and seal: Dip the ends in hot water to seal them if using a non-pre-stretched variety. Style as desired.

  • Step 5 — Moisturise: Apply a lightweight leave-in spray or oil to keep the hair looking fresh and to prevent frizz.

Installation typically takes 2–4 hours depending on your experience level. With pre-stretched Cherish French curl hair, the process is noticeably faster.

How to care for Cherish French curl braiding hair

Good maintenance keeps your Cherish French curl style looking its best for longer. Here are our top care tips:

  • Moisturise regularly: Use a lightweight water-based spray or braid spray to keep the hair looking fresh. Apply 2–3 times per week.

  • Sleep with a satin bonnet: Protect your style overnight with a satin or silk bonnet or pillowcase to prevent frizz and tangling. We stock a range of satin bonnets at CC Hair & Beauty.

  • Wash carefully: When needed, wash the hair with a gentle shampoo diluted in water. Apply in a downward motion to avoid tangling the curl pattern.

  • Avoid heavy products: Stay away from thick oils and butters on synthetic hair — they cause build-up and weigh the curls down. Lightweight sprays work best.

  • How long does it last? With good care, Cherish French curl crochet braids typically last 4–8 weeks.

How many packs of Cherish French curl hair do you need?

This is one of the questions we get asked most in store. Here’s a general guide:

  • Crochet braids (full head): 5–7 packs of standard braiding hair, or 3–5 packs of 3x pre-stretched packs

  • Faux locs or passion twists: 6–8 packs

  • Accent pieces only: 2–3 packs

If you’re unsure, our team at the Chapeltown store is always happy to advise. You can also message us via the website.
