Great Purchase [SEP] I’ve been wishing for so long that I had the skill to do my own box braids. I’ve tried in the past, and using free-flowing synthetic hair isn’t my strong suit lol. Well thank you tiktok and YouTube for revealing to me the ways of crochet braids. This is so much more affordable than the $200-$350 it costs to go to a boutique, and takes a lot less time. I’m on my second round of braids too from this one set. It only took about 2 packs to do my whole head. The braids smell a bit weird fresh out of the packaging, but air out eventually. I do wish they were a bit larger, but overall these are fantastic.
