Which brands to look for in the beauty supply.
on Instagram, explains some of the general distinctions between kanekalon and other types of synthetic hair: Kanekalon is a higher-quality synthetic fiber than other synthetic hair that is cheaper and more plastic-like to the touch. It moves more like natural hair and appears less wiry. It is very important that the texture of the kanekalon fiber is closest to that of the natural hair, because of the look, movement, and most importantly, feel.
One last thing to keep in mind: Some brands mix kanekalon with toyokalon, which is another synthetic fiber. While this may look better visually because toyokalon is shiny, it doesn’t look as natural as pure kanekalon. "While toyokalon hair tends to tangle less and be shiny, there isn’t enough grit to lock the braid into itself," Kamilah says.
Most brands of kanekalon hair come in a range of colors that can be matched to your skin tone, but because of the material that it’s made of, you usually can’t dye it to be an exact match to your hair. This shouldn’t matter much with braids since in most cases, as your own hair will be hidden within the twists or plaits. Kanekalon hair also can’t withstand hot tools, but again, that's a non-issue since braids don’t require heat styling.
But the question remains — which brand of hair should you buy? We asked some hairstylists which ones they prefer, and for a few tips on how best to work with them, whether you're headed to the salon or you plan on braiding your hair yourself.
