It goes without saying that braids are one of the hottest trends right now. But not every girl has the length and volume to get exactly the look they want when it comes to creating cool braided looks. Synthetic hair has always been an option, but now kanekalon hair has become the go-to for ladies who want to pump up their braids. Using these extensions is easy as they are stylish, incredibly soft and durable.

For those of you unfamiliar with kanekalon, this hair extension is by far the best for braiding styles due to its composition. Kanekalon has been a world-famous synthetic fiber made from modified acrylic fibers derived from acrylonitriles and vinyl chloride for 50 years, if you want to get technical. In principle, this fiber is ideally suited for synthetic hair, because its natural softness makes it very similar to human hair.

This fiber is often creamy or white and comes in different lengths, shrinkage levels and deniers. It includes a range of shrink options and is easy to seal with steam and other related methods. The best quality kanekalon hair is Futura as it is the most heat resistant and you don't have to worry about styling it. Ultima hair is also high quality and most similar to human hair because it is made with natural collagen protein that provides a rich, moisturized feel.

Now that we've mastered the basics of this type of hair extension, it's essential to know how to best apply these fantastic braids. The most common method is feed-in braids with kanekalon hair, which can be achieved through a variety of styles. If you are not familiar with this process, this video perfectly shows how to do it.
