FAQ

What makes New Village Braid hair special?

New Village Braid hair is PVC FREE. Other popular braiding hair extensions are made with PVC (polyvinyl chloride) which is a known human carcinogen whose building blocks and bi-products include chloride, phthalates and dioxin. These are often released over time and accelerated when the hair is heated or burned. Our hair is different. It is safe for your scalp, safe your children, and friendlier to our environment.

Can I dip this hair in hot water to seal and relax my braided ends?

Yes! Our hair eco braiding pre-stretched hair is perfect for styles requiring sealed finishing with hot water. A 30 to 45 second dip in clean boiled water should be enough. Be sure not to dip your natural hair, and practice extra care when moving around with boiling hot water!
