The Cherish Crochet Synthetic Braid - Brazilian Bulk 20" is a popular type of synthetic hair designed for crochet braids and other protective styling options. Here's an overview of this product:

Key Features:

• Type of Hair: The Brazilian Bulk refers to the texture and quality of the synthetic fibers, often designed to mimic the appearance and feel of Brazilian virgin hair. This texture is typically soft, bouncy, and natural-looking, offering a more realistic and smooth appearance than some other synthetic options.

• Length: At 20 inches, this is a medium-length option that allows for versatile styling. It’s long enough to create fullness but not overly long, making it easier to manage and install.

• Synthetic Material: As a synthetic braid, the fibers are designed to withstand heat styling and offer durability, but they may not handle heat as well as human hair. They are ideal for styles that don’t require direct heat (e.g., braids, twists, or faux locs), though some can be heat-friendly up to a certain temperature (often 350°F or lower, but it's best to confirm with the manufacturer).

• Crochet Braids: This hair is often used for crochet braids, a method where the hair is crocheted into cornrowed natural hair using a crochet hook. The bulk texture gives a natural, voluminous, and full-bodied look that can last for weeks with proper care.

• Versatility: The 20" Brazilian Bulk is perfect for a variety of styles, such as:

  • Crochet braids
  • Senegalese twists
  • Havana twists
  • Box braids (if you choose to braid it instead of crochet)
  • Other protective styles like faux locs or twists

• Color Options: Cherish Crochet Synthetic Braids often come in a range of colors, including natural shades like 1B (off-black), 30 (light brown), and even vibrant shades like 27 or 613, giving you plenty of flexibility to match your personal style.

Installation Tips:

• Preparation: Before installing, make sure your natural hair is properly prepped, either in cornrows or a similar braided pattern, to ensure the crochet braids sit neatly.
• Seamless Look: Because of the bulkier texture, these braids give a fuller, more voluminous look, which can help to create a natural and flattering silhouette. If you're going for a more sleek, less voluminous look, you may want to opt for a finer texture.
• Maintenance: As synthetic hair can tangle, it’s essential to take care of the braids by keeping them moisturized and detangling gently. Also, avoid excessive heat exposure unless specified as heat-resistant.
