Ultra Braid 82" made with 100% Kanekalon Fiber

X-pression Ultra Braid is made from 100% kanekalon fiber, which is a type of synthetic fiber commonly used in hair extensions and braiding hair. Kanekalon is known for its softness, durability, and ability to mimic natural hair.

In addition to the kanekalon fiber, X-pression Ultra Braid may also contain other ingredients, such as dyes or coatings, to achieve different colors or textures. However, the specific ingredients used may vary depending on the color and style of the braiding hair. It's always a good idea to check the product label or contact the manufacturer if you have any concerns about the ingredients.

Here are the general steps to use X-pression Ultra Braid for braiding hair:

Prepare your natural hair by washing it and drying it thoroughly. You may also want to apply a leave-in conditioner or hair oil to help protect and moisturize your hair before braiding.

Divide your hair into sections, depending on the style you want to create. Use a comb to create neat and even parts.

Take a small section of X-pression Ultra Braid and fold it in half, so that the ends meet. You should have two strands of hair now.

Take one strand of the X-pression Ultra Braid and place it under the section of natural hair you want to braid. The other strand of the braid should be over the natural hair.

Begin braiding the natural hair with the two strands of X-pression Ultra Braid. Use a three-strand braid technique, and be sure to keep the tension even as you braid.

Continue braiding until you reach the end of the natural hair. Secure the end of the braid with a hair tie or rubber band.

Repeat the process with the remaining sections of natural hair, using X-pression Ultra Braid to add length and volume.

When finished, you may want to trim the ends of the braids to make them even and tidy.

It is important to note that the exact technique for using X-pression Ultra Braid may vary depending on the style you want to create. It may be helpful to watch tutorials or seek the advice of a professional stylist to get the best results.

X-pression Ultra Braid can be used to create a wide variety of hair styles, including but not limited to:

Box Braids: This is a classic braiding style that involves dividing the hair into small, square sections and braiding each section with X-pression Ultra Braid.

Senegalese Twists: This style involves twisting X-pression Ultra Braid around sections of natural hair to create long, twisted braids.

Faux Locs: This style mimics the look of dreadlocks by wrapping X-pression Ultra Braid around sections of natural hair and securing it with hair ties or rubber bands.

Cornrows: This style involves braiding X-pression Ultra Braid into small, tight rows that lay flat against the scalp.

Crochet Braids: This style involves using a crochet hook to weave X-pression Ultra Braid into cornrows or other braiding patterns to create a textured and voluminous look.

These are just a few examples of the many hair styles that can be created with X-pression Ultra Braid. The possibilities are virtually endless, and the style you choose will depend on your personal preferences and the look you want to achieve.

A professional tip for using X-pression Ultra Braid is to prepare the braiding hair before use. The braids come tightly packed, so it's a good idea to loosen and stretch the hair before braiding. This can be done by gently pulling the hair with your hands or using a hair dryer set to low heat to warm and loosen the hair.

Another tip is to use a weaving needle when braiding with X-pression Ultra Braid. A weaving needle can help to secure the braids more tightly to the natural hair, making them last longer. To use the weaving needle, thread it with a small section of the braiding hair and use it to sew the braid to the natural hair, making sure to keep the tension even and the stitches tight.

Finally, it's important to take care of the braids once they are in place. Use a mild shampoo to wash the braids, and be sure to dry them thoroughly to prevent mold and mildew from developing. You may also want to use a leave-in conditioner or hair oil to keep the braids moisturized and looking their best.
