Synthetic braiding hair is used primarily by Black women for hairstyles like braids and twists. But when we are creating our unique, beautiful hairstyles, we have been left with the worst materials to work with.

Synthetic braiding hair is made of cheap, carcinogenic plastics that irritate the skin and pollute the planet. 42% of those who use synthetic braiding hair experience some sort of discomfort with it (according to our survey conducted 2019-2022; n=221).

Currently, consumers solve the irritation problem by washing synthetic braiding hair with acetic acid (typically apple cider vinegar) to erode the alkaline finish on the hair to lessen the itching. Buying a product that needs to be corrected when you get home is a hassle, and washing with acetic acid still does not address the plastic base. Consumers can also purchase human braiding hair, however it is quite expensive (ranging $60-$260/pack) and not easily found.
