Braiding HAIR:

RUWA 24” pRE-STRETCHED hair is available for purchase at apple butter boutique.

colors available:

1, 1b, 27, 30, 33, 350, 1b/350, 1/30 and 1b/33. The hair is sold SEPARATELY at $6.00 per pack.

I DO NOT USE X-PRESSIONS 82”or 84” OR AMAZON BRAND unless advised. synthetic hair fibers can irritate the scalp, and may cause inflammation. I do not take responsibility for any allergic reactions that may take place after installation. Please do your own research on synthetic braiding hair before booking your appointment.

Human Hair options are available for bohemian styles. pose is the most reasonably priced since it’s a human and synthetic hair blend. you can also opt for 100% human braiding hair but please note a lot of hair will be lost due to stretching so the blend may be more cost effective.

i also provIde hair for soft loc hair styles.

Hair breakdown:

each service HAS the amount of hair needed to achieve your desired hairstyle listed in the desciption but here’s a quick breakdown.

knotless braids small + medium- 3 packs of hair. knotless braids large + jumbo- 4 packs of hair. waist-length? you will need two additional packs. For Goddess styles i use freetress deep wave/twist hair in 10”. for passion twist. i highly reccommended lulutress waterwave but most waterwave hair will do!

beauty supply store suggestions:

  • mimi’s hair and wigs {321 main street orange, NJ 07050}

  • Clinton hill beauty supply store {497 Clinton avenue Newark, NJ}

  • dazzle dash beauty {400 central ave eAst orange, NJ}

expectations:

I love using pictures as a reference point, but Please note that everyone’s head shape, size, and hair density are different. to avoid disappointment, do not expect your hair to look specifically like anyone else’s. please try not to use reference pictures of other stylist’s work. I cannot imitate work that is not mine.
