Below we will tell you what kanekalon is, what types there are, and also how to braid with kanekalon at home.

What is Kanekalon

Kanekalon is an artificial material of high enough quality that mimics the look of real hair. Kanekalon is used to create african braids and for other types of braids, whatever you wish to make on your hair.

Types of kanekalon

What is needed to weave braids with kanekalon

1. Your hair should be at least 15 centimeters long. After all, it is then that a truly spectacular and stylish hairstyle will turn out.
2. It is always worth weaving braids on clean hair, because you will be wearing braids with kanekalon for a long time.
3. If you are a real master of weaving braids with kanekalon, then you can braid rather tight braids, which you can even wash afterwards without undoing them.

How long to hold braids with kanekalon

• Everything will depend on the skill of your weaving. If you are a beginner, then braids can last from 4 to 7 days. Because during this period you will not be able to wash your hair and your hair will become very dirty, and not professionally woven kanekalon can quickly lose its elasticity and sag on your strands.

• If you are a master in weaving braids with kanekalon, then such braids can last for 2-3 weeks. Because tight braids with high-quality and correctly woven kanekalon can be washed with ordinary shampoo. And kanekalon will not sag on the strands, but just after three weeks it will be able to lose its initially bright color.

French braids

What you need:

• Mirror so that you can control the work of weaving;
• Comb-comb with a long handle;
• Clips or hairpins;
• Flesh-colored small rubber bands;
• Kanekalon.

Weaving process

1. Comb your hair well and divide it in two. You need to pin one part of your hair with a clip so that it does not interfere with you.
2. Then take the kanekalon and bend it in half, and divide the very part of the hair into three strands. Now lean the kanekalon against the base of the strand at the very beginning and secure it with an elastic band. After that, start to weave a regular French braid, grabbing the kanekalon and the strands on the sides.
3. After a couple of weaves, start to weave in this way: two weaves as usual, and after one with the addition of kanekalon. When you finish the braid to the end, you should close the tip of the kanekalon under the elastic band.
4. If the kanekalon is too long, then cut it off and dip the tip itself in boiling water. Thus, you will solder it so that the kanekalon does not come apart into threads.

Thus, you can weave yourself one, two or even three French braids.

Boxing braids

Boxing braids are very comfortable braids for playing sports, and if you decorate them with kanekalon, you will definitely become the star of the gym.

You'll need:

• 1 pack of kanekalon (can be plain, can be colored)
• Silicone rubber bands;
• Comb with a long and sharp tip;
• A lot of time and patience.

Weaving process:

Divide your hair in two using a vertical parting. Remember that the hairstyle should only be done on clean hair. Pin one part of your hair with a clip or simply gather it in a ponytail so that it does not interfere with you.

Then we start working with a strand in the forehead area. We take a lock and divide it into three parts. Then we begin to add kanekalon to the strands. To do this, take a lock of kanekalon and fold it to the widow. Then pass it through the middle strand and fix it with an invisible one.

Next, we distribute the kanekalon between the first and third strands and weave the braid in reverse. Weaving should be done literally a couple of times in order to secure the kanekalon between them more firmly. And now we again wrap the strand with kanekalon that was left without it.

Then we weave a regular braid, adding kanekalon to the strands according to the same principle. When you get to the back of the head, then it is worth putting another piece of kanekalon into the strands. Secure it in the same way as the first strand and continue weaving until the very end.

If the length of the kanekalon is longer than your hair, then it can be cut and sealed. And if you don't want to do that, then just braid the kanekalon itself in a pigtail, which will be a fashionable and stylish addition to your braids. Then start to weave the second braid in the same way, making sure that both braids are at an even distance from each other and have the same thickness.
