About New Village Braid
New Village Braid is a Black woman-owned braiding hair brand dedicated to creating safer, high-quality synthetic braiding hair for protective styles. Founded with a mission to improve comfort, transparency, and product safety in the braiding hair industry, New Village Braid offers lightweight, hypoallergenic extensions made from premium synthetic fibers such as PET, PP, and PBT. Our braiding hair is independently lab tested and designed for sensitive scalps, long-lasting wear, and beautiful styles including box braids, knotless braids, twists, and more. By combining science-backed safety testing with a commitment to community and healthy beauty practices, New Village Braid is helping set a new standard for modern braiding hair. 🌺
OUR STORY
Originally founded as a braid salon concept, the focus shifted to providing a healthier and more sustainable approach to braiding hair. As we uncovered more learnings on the dangers and toxicity of most braiding hair on the market, the mission became more clear and New Village Braid eco-braiding hair was born.
