Have you been to a beauty supply store and wonder what is the best hair to buy when considering cornrows or plaits? I found over the years that using Kanekalon hair was the most effective and best choice to make when getting your hair braided. Cheap synthetic hair fiber tends to make the hair brittle and the hair tangles. I use either afrelle by Beverly Johnson or any good quality Kanekalon for cornrows or plaits. I prefer the Rastafri Kanekalon hair when doing micro braids, cornrows or any kind of hair braiding styles because it's less expensive (3.99-8.99 a pack) and you can swim in that hair. It's very inexpensive vs using the human hair that costs anywhere between $19.99 and up per pack, which in my opinion doesn't last longer than a month.
