Use these braided extensions to create lovely cornrow styles, base for your weaving or simply create a head of loose braids. We recommend between 3-6 packets to do a full head of braids. This material can be sealed with boiling water.
For a slightly courser textured braiding hair why not try our American Dream Regular Braid.
What Makes our Synthetic Braiding Hair so Special?
Fibre hair was first used for traditional braiding – think Floella Benjamin of Play School (back in the day) or, more recently, David Beckham’s cornrows. Fibre adds bulk and coarseness for strength making it ideal for weave bases. It’s easy to manipulate and has great hold. Avant garde stylists use braids for the most creative, out-of-this world looks. With a series of extreme and natural colours, and all at incredibly affordable prices, they’re great for training too.

Please follow the care instructions relevant to the type of extensions and accessories you have. How you care for human hair, Thermofibre and synthetic products varies:
HUMAN HAIR EXTENSIONS & HAIR PIECES
WASHING
1. Extensions should be washed as infrequently as possible for best durability and to prevent damage to the hair’s protective silicone coating. AMERICAN DREAM recommends washing once a week with its low pH Soft and Silky or Manhattan range shampoos. 2. Lather shampoo in your hands then gently apply to the hair, taking care not to massage vigorously in particular around the bonds/attachment points. 3. Rinse gently but thoroughly with lukewarm water. 4. Apply our Soft and Silky Conditioner or our Manhattan Conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends, not on the bonds or the scalp. 5. Rinse gently but thoroughly with lukewarm water.
STYLING
Silky Straight – 1. Brush or comb using our lonic Brush or Comb specially designed for hair extensions. 2. Leave to dry naturally or blow dry using a mid-heat. 3. To keep your extensions looking new and glossy every day, use our Soft and Silky Spray to detangle and add shine.
Wavy – 1. Push hair upwards to reform the curl. 2. Leave to dry naturally or for extra volume and speed in drying use a diffuser. Use a wide tooth comb to style. 3. To keep your extensions looking new and glossy every day, use our Soft and Silky Spray to detangle and add shine.
