African Braiding Hair in Metro Detroit

Kelly Beauty stocks braiding hair as one of its deepest categories across all four Metro Detroit stores, in the fibers, lengths and color codes that African braiding styles call for. Braiders and people braiding at home buy from the same aisles, and the range is built for both.

What the aisles carry

Pre-stretched packs, ready-tapered and quicker to install. Bulk packs, blunt-cut and cheaper, for anyone who prefers to stretch and trim their own. Blend braiding hair, mixing human and synthetic for a softer feel. Human braiding hair for styles where the ends are worn loose. And crochet hair, pre-looped for a faster install.

Textures and what they suit

Kinky textures grip well and suit fuller, more natural-looking styles including bohemian finishes. Straight synthetic gives the sleek finish of knotless and box braids. Curly and wavy textures are used for the loose ends on passion twists and boho styles. The texture usually matters more than the length in deciding whether a finished style looks like the picture.

Buying enough

A full head takes several packs, and the count rises with length and falls with braid size. Buying one or two extra and returning the unopened ones is cheaper than a second trip, and buying all the packs for one install in a single purchase keeps the color consistent.

Where to buy

All four stores carry it: Detroit off Gratiot near 7 Mile, Super Kelly Beauty on Gratiot at 8 Mile in Eastpointe, Warren on Van Dyke in the Majestic Plaza, and Roseville on Gratiot at 12 Mile. It's also on kellybeautyonline.com with $4.99 shipping anywhere in Michigan.
