How it works

Complete the look

Kinky curly braiding hair is loose, unwefted human hair with a small, springy curl that blends with natural 3C to 4A texture. Ours comes in 100g bulk bundles of 100% human hair in natural black, at 16 and 20 inches, for braids where you want the added hair to disappear into your own.

Specs

  • Weight: 100g (3.5 oz) per bundle
  • Lengths: 16″, 20″
  • Color: Natural Black (#1B), lifts to about a #27
  • Texture: Kinky curly, blends with 3C to 4A
  • Hair: 100% unprocessed human hair, unwefted bulk with no weft to cut
  • Reuse: typically 2 to 3 installs when unpicked, washed and stored flat

Best for

Boho knotless braids with curly ends. The curl looks like your own hair came loose, not like added hair. The trade-off: tight curls tangle faster than waves and need more detangling.

Leave-out at the front of a braided style. It blends at the hairline where a wave would give itself away. The trade-off: it shrinks, so buy longer than you think.

Not the pick for 4B to 4C blending, locs or faux locs. That job belongs to our afro kinky bulk hair, which is denser and matte.

How much you need

A full head of boho braids in all human hair takes about 350 to 450g, so 4 to 5 bundles. As curly ends on a synthetic braid body, 1 to 2 bundles. Length is where kinky curly catches people out: bulk hair folds at the root, so a 20″ bundle hangs about 10″, and this curl takes back nearly a third of that, so a 20″ bundle wears at roughly 7″ in a folded install. The full numbers are in our braiding hair guide, with counts by style in the pack-count guide.

Care

Tight curls knot at the ends first. Keep them damp-ish with a water-based leave-in, cover them at night, and separate curls with your fingers from the ends up. Never brush them dry. Between installs, unpick rather than cut, wash and condition, detangle while wet, dry flat and store sealed. Each reinstall comes out a little lighter, so plan to add a bundle by the third.

Frequently asked questions

How many bundles of kinky curly hair do I need for braids?

For a full head of boho braids in all human hair, plan on about 350 to 450 grams, which is 4 to 5 of our 100-gram kinky curly bundles. If the braid body is synthetic and kinky curly is only the loose curly ends, 1 to 2 bundles is enough. Buy the higher number if you are between two.

What is the difference between kinky curly and afro kinky braiding hair?

Kinky curly braiding hair is a small, springy curl with some shine that blends with 3C to 4A texture and suits boho braids with curly ends. Afro kinky is denser and matte and matches 4B to 4C hair, which makes it the choice for twists, faux locs and loc extensions. Pick the one closest to your own texture.

How much length does kinky curly braiding hair lose?

A lot. Bulk hair folds at the root, so a 20-inch bundle hangs about 10 inches from the braid, and kinky curly then takes back close to a third of its length to the curl. A 20-inch kinky curly bundle wears at roughly 7 inches in a folded install. Order longer than the length you want to see.

Can you reuse kinky curly braiding hair?

Yes, usually for 2 to 3 installs. Unpick the braids rather than cutting them, then wash, condition and detangle the hair while it is wet, working from the ends up. Dry it flat and store it sealed. Expect to lose some density each time, so a third install often needs an extra bundle.

Will kinky curly braiding hair blend with my natural hair?

Kinky curly braiding hair matches natural 3C to 4A texture, so it blends in where wavier braiding hair tends to sit on top of your own. It is a common choice for boho braids with curly ends and for leave-out at the front of a braided style.

What color is 1B braiding hair?

1B braiding hair is natural black, a soft off-black with a slightly warm cast rather than a flat jet black. It is the shade closest to most natural hair, which is why 1B is the default color for braiding hair and the easiest to blend.

Can I dye or lift this braiding hair?

Yes. Because this is virgin human braiding hair it takes color, and it will lift to about a #27 honey blonde. Lifting past that risks the integrity of the hair. For a lighter shade with no processing, start from our color 613 blonde braiding hair.

Is Mayvenn braiding hair real human 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.

What does bulk braiding hair mean?

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.

How long do boho braids made with human braiding hair last?

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.

Can I wash and reuse human braiding hair?

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.

How do I keep boho braids from tangling?

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.
