KIMA BRAID - OCEAN WAVE 14" CROCHET BRAID - 4 PACK DEAL - KOW14 (30)

The media could not be loaded.  I have purchased this brand of hair before at a beauty supply store in my area but they only had the 20” hair and I hate long hair ( especially in the summer months) so I was so Happy to see that Amazon had the same brand but for 14”…I love the texture, which is closer to my natural hair texture. I love that it’s not shiny like baby doll hair, it’s soft and doesn’t feel like it’s cheap. My hair stylist loves it too she says it’s very easy to manage and did not tangle at all while braiding. Yes you have to maintain it every other day like with most synthetic hair or it will get matted. Not sure why people are shocked or annoyed at this? You have to brush and comb your own natural hair daily to keep it looking good why would pack hair be any different? Lol I posted a video and a photo to show the style I got done. These are goddess braids and the video/photo was taken 2 weeks after getting it braided. I wanted to sit with it for a bit before I posted a review. Will definitely purchase again especially since it came so quick, I ordered it Thursday and it came the next day!

Arrived fast, I reordered. I hate they don't have number 27.

Will not look fresh for longer than a week. But super cute when you first install it! I got lots of compliments. Will make you hot in warmer months. Kind of rough. You’ll need to cut the tangles out daily. It’s great for a temporary hairstyle.

Kitchen beautician here. I have been using this particular hair for over a year and I will give you a very detailed break down of installation, maintenance, and take down of this hair.Installation:This hair is easy to separate out of the package. As this is a softer texture of hair, I have found that I can separate this hair without having a lot of tangling. However, if you want to be 100% sure that you will not get tangles during separation, add some moisture before separating. Use a spray bottle with water, a few drops of peppermint oil, and a few drops of apple cider vinegar.The hair knots well. For the crochets, I wrap the hair 4-5 times before securing the knot I have also done the 4 to 5 wrap AND tied a knot. Both techniques work well. To ensure your knots stay secure, I recommend using a smaller piece of hair. The thicker the piece, the more likely that your knot may slip.Maintenance:The fun part. For this hair, I noticed that I could go a week before I have to use product to manage frizz. For bed: I do 8-9 two strand twists, put it in a bun and put on my bonnet. When I have to add product, I go with The Manechoice 3-in-1 conditioner with water (more water than product) or Softsheen Carson Moisturizing Finishing Mist alone. I then finish with a mousse--I use Vigorol Olive Oil Mousse. Always finger detangle, you preserve the curls longer!I do wash my hair bi-weekly. For the crochet hair, detangle before washing. I use a shampoo for synthetic hair. Conditioner wise, I use Tresemme for curls. Gently finger detangle if needed. Afterwards, I blot. Then I follow my moisturizing routine , loosely two strand twist, and let air dry or blow dry on cool. If you use warm or hot blow dryer, or run the risk of damaging the curl pattern.If you notice the ends get worn, just clip the end with shears or a bladed comb.Take down:Fairly easy, just cut your knots.Overall: this is my go to crochet hair. It is easy to install and maintain. Following my technique, I have gotten 6 weeks of wear with this hair.

The hair is beautiful but the hair sheds EXCESSIVELY! I also loved the fact that it does not tangle but I would not use it again due to the constant shedding.

I bought this hair to wear for a couple weeks while I wait for a custom wig that I just ordered. I installed it using a braidless method involving a mesh wig cap. When I first pulled it out the pack I thought it would be an issue because the hair looked very straight to me. It's harder to hide the knots with the method I used so curly hair works best. But as I installed it, I was able to hide them. I like the texture of this hair because it's not unnaturally shiny like some other brands. If definitely she's a lot the first couple of days after its installed, but that's what I expect from crochet hair with loose curls. I'm not sure if you can swim with this hair but I know you can get it wet and it'll be fine, because I don't wear a cap in the shower and I got parts of it soaked the day after I installed it. The curls bounced right back! As far as the price goes, if you can find this at your local beauty shop it'll probably be cheaper. I just moved to a predominantly caucasian place and it's hard for me to find decent crochet hair so this was great for me! Btw: I'm wearing color 1b in the pics!

Beautiful long lasting curl pattern that looks natural. Not too shiny, not too matte. Just have to make sure the knots are tied really securely or else they will come out easily.

This hair is really beautiful and not hard to install. I knotted mines twice and had no issues of any stands falling out. It is fluffy and keeps a curl forever lol. I cut mines in half this time for a short look. I have a big head so I used 3.5 packs.
