What are the benefits of plant-based braiding hair?
What’s plant-based braiding hair and what can it do for you? Gaining popularity in the hair extensions world, plant-based braiding hair is the new girl on the block. But what is she about? What can she do?
Plant-based braiding hair can provide a variety of benefits for the braider and for the person wearing the braids. Synthetic braiding hair is known to cause itchiness, micro cuts on the hands, and hair breakage to name just a few of the commonly heard complaints.
What are the benefits of plant-based braiding hair?
Hypoallergenic: Avoid the itchiness, rash, bumps, boils, and acne that come from wearing braids or using synthetic braiding hair in general.
Plastic-free: Plastics in synthetic braiding hair are rough on the hands for braiders, and rough on the scalp and neck for clients. Plant-based fibers for braiding hair are less rigid and softer to the touch.
Lightweight: Some plant-based braiding hair options (like ours!) have lightweight fiber technology to decrease hair thinning and breakage after takedown.
