I recently got braids and I love it!!!!!!!
Instead of using the really course synthetic hair they used the real smooth, shiny kind that has a slight curl to it. They are individual braids and they braid it passed my natural hair (but not to the end). So the ends look like regular hair and they put a drop of crazy glue,... yes crazy glue to keep the top part of the braid from unraveling. You should have seen the look on my face when she broke out the tube of crazy glue
. The only down side of these braid is you can't really get them wet. Since it is not human hair, the ends tend to get a little tangled and dry.
