I recommend the Ez hair to someone who has a sensitive scalp, that’s prone to itching and I like the hair, because it doesn’t have any bacteria within the strands and you won’t have a issue with dipping it in hot water.

@MagicQueendom Ай бұрын

This is MY go to even though my stylist prefers expressions. I only get my hair done for vacations and I just can not go on vacation and be itching and scratching, and carrying on bcuz I will have my husband taking them braids out with a quickness. So yah the expressions may be better for style, but the No Itch EZ braid is better for my scalp.

I stopped braiding hair after college because we had that first pack of hair and I am thee prissy girl and I just refused to tear up my hands. After learning about knotless braids I was skeptical about starting back again but just you talking about the different hair and what it does to your hands really helped me to go ahead and get started back again.

After you cut it, on the blunt side you need to feather it out. You can pull each strand or a couple at a time, just a little bit. Do that for all the strands and comb or brush that end lightly as well. That way you have a feathered /Pre stretched look

@Ebonyjay hi, new bradier and subscribers ... I used EZbraid hair because my color is hard to match. Color T4/30...the tips are the wrong color though. My question is when braiding I always end up with a blunt tip with this hair or maybe its my technique... how do you prevent ending up with the blunt tip? Also if I do end up with the blunt tip is there a way to thin it after you braided it already? ❤Can you make a video on this 😊 Also do you have a video on best method curling the ends of braids?

@The.EbonyJay 3 ай бұрын

Yes I’ll make a video that focuses on just the ends of hair this is a great question. But a simple answer is a razor comb for the ends or add more hair before you finish braiding

My hair is to my waist so I didn't want to do much cutting because the braid hair is almost the length of my hair which is a gift and a curse. I wish my hair was a little shorter in the braid but after I blow dry it its really long. Can you also include how you use the razor comb to fix the ends 🙂 Also, I appreciate your reply 🥰🥰

@@The.EbonyJay I did some more braids and I ran into the same issue with it resulting in blut tips. I tried to use razzor scissors but it wasn't that helpful.

My hair is almost to my waist I didn't want braids longer than that so I wanted to know how do you prevent blunt tips when this hair is so long 😩 🤔.

UPDATE: I tried the 30” Ruwa hair for thigh length knotless braids. The texture goes perfect with my blowdried hair, doesn’t tangle much if you properly detangle while braiding and it didn’t burn my fingers like other brands. I don’t like how thin the ends are so I had to add more hair but it has a lot of movement once I dipped them. I would definitely buy this hair again in a longer length so that I don’t have to add as much hair to the braids.
