Where we stand
Going through menopause does not have to mean giving up on braids. At LAB, we make our braiding hair three times lighter than any synthetic braiding hair on the market. Lightweight braiding hair can be a gamechanger for braids during periods of loss of hair density.
Why is plant-based braiding hair a better option for braids during menopasuse?

Plant-based braiding hair allows more moisture to penetrate through, making it easier to use conditioner, mousse, and other products to keep hair in and underneath the braid hydrated.
