Color 4 Medium Brown Bulk Human Braiding Hair

Color 4 braiding hair is a medium brown. It reads warm and chestnut in sunlight and close to natural indoors, which makes it the most common first step away from black. Color 4 is also the base shade in the 4/27/30 boho braid blend.

This braiding hair is already colored with quality dye over a virgin human hair base, so we do not advise bleaching it further. To shift the tone, use a deposit-only color or a toner, which adds pigment without lifting the hair.

Yes. Mayvenn bulk braiding hair is 100% virgin human hair, not synthetic and not a human-synthetic blend. Virgin means it has not been chemically processed before it reaches you, which is why it takes heat, holds a curl and washes like your own hair.

Bulk braiding hair is hair sold loose, with no weft or track sewn along the top. Because there is no weft to cut away, bulk hair feeds straight into a braid, which is why it is the standard format for boho, knotless and goddess braids.

Most full-head boho braid installs use 3 to 5 bundles of human braiding hair. Use 3 bundles for shorter or lighter sets and 4 to 5 for waist-length or very full ends. Stylists often add one more for extra density through the back.

Boho braids made with human braiding hair usually last 4 to 6 weeks. The braids themselves hold longer than that, but new growth at the root is what decides the timing. The human hair can then be washed and reused for a second install.

Yes. Human braiding hair can be washed and reused, which is its main advantage over synthetic. After takedown, shampoo and condition gently in the direction of the strand, let it air dry fully, and store it loosely braided or in a satin bag.

Boho braids tangle least when the loose curly ends stay moisturized and covered at night. Wear a satin scarf or bonnet to bed, apply a light leave-in every few days, and finger-detangle the ends from the bottom up instead of brushing from the root.

Boho braids and goddess braids both leave loose curly pieces out of the braid. Boho braids place those pieces along the full length for an undone look, while goddess braids concentrate them toward the ends. Both use the same human braiding hair.
