Your braiding hair should work as hard as you do. Kendra Boutique's raw human braiding hair is 100% raw, unprocessed human hair, sold as loose bulk strands ready for box braids, knotless braids, boho braids, micro-links, crochet, twists, Brazilian knots, cornrows, and fusion installs. Choose from three textures: Italian curly, body wave, and natural straight. Available in lengths from 18" to 30", in seven color options from natural black to a #27/30/613
Kendra's Boutique was founded by Kendra Cooksey at age 20 and is trusted by 1.2M + followers and celebrity clients, including Cardi B. There's a reason Hair Barbs keep coming back. Kendra's raw human braiding hair is built on three things you won't find in synthetic or processed alternatives.
Kendra's Boutique’s braiding hair is 100% raw, unprocessed human hair. No synthetic fibers. No chemical processing. Just real, raw human hair that blends seamlessly with your natural hair for an install that looks like it grew from your scalp. Available in natural black and brown tones plus blonde color codes (#27, #4, #30, #60, #613) and multi-tone blends.
Every pack arrives as loose, individual strands with no sewn track at the top. That's what makes it work for knotless braids, micro-links, boho braids, box braids, cornrows, crochet, Senegalese twists, Brazilian knots, and fusion installs. If you've ever had braiding hair that felt stiff or wouldn't feed smoothly, this is the difference.
Because it's real hair, you can color it, press it, and heat-style it. Curl or wave textures will press out straight beautifully and revert right back to their natural pattern after washing. Your versatility stays intact.
100% human hair sold as loose, weft-free strands. No sewn track at the top is designed to be fed into your natural hair for braided and twisted protective styles.
Most extensions sold for sew-ins are wefted, meaning the strands are sewn onto a fabric track that gets sewn into cornrows. Wefted bundles are made for weaves, not braids. Kendra's braiding hair is different.
The strands are completely loose, so you section your natural hair and feed the extension directly into each braid or twist. No track. No bulk. Just clean, natural flow.
That's why it works for knotless braids, box braids, boho braids, micro-links, twists, crochet, Brazilian knots, fusion, and cornrows and why it doesn't work the same way as a regular sew-in bundle.
Looking for wefted bundles for a sew-in install? See Kendra's raw Brazilian bundle deals or the raw hair collection instead.
Kendra's weft-free human braiding hair supports the full range of braided and twisted protective styles. Every style below is named directly in Kendra's product pages as a confirmed use case.
Sleek, lightweight, and scalp-friendly. With the feed-in technique, the hair blends gradually into your natural hair so the braid starts completely flat against your scalp. No bulky knot, no tension at the root.
Classic three-strand braids built section by section. Kendra's bulk braiding hair works for small, medium, and large box braids. See the pack-count guide below for quantities.
The best of both worlds. Smooth braided sections with loose, curly, or wavy ends left free for that effortless, undone look. Italian curly and body wave textures are made for this style.
Ultra-thin, ultra-sleek braids that hold their finish for weeks. These are best left to a professional stylist given the precision required, but the results speak for themselves.
A non-braided extension technique using small metal beads/links to attach bulk strands to your natural hair. This technique is different from braids and is closer to a fusion install, but it uses the same weft-free bulk hair.
Traditional flat-against-the-scalp braids. Bulk hair can be added to extend length or add fullness to natural-hair cornrows.
A faster install method where pre-prepared crochet pieces (made from bulk hair) are hooked into your cornrowed natural hair. Curly textures crochet beautifully.
Two-strand twists made by twisting bulk hair around your natural hair. Senegalese twists are a specific variation Kendra's Boutique calls out by name.
A microlink-adjacent technique using small knots, or heat/cold bonding fusion, to secure bulk strands to your natural hair without braids. Done by a stylist with specialized tools.
Pack-count guidance pulled directly from Kendra's FAQ. Quantities depend on the braid size, your hair thickness, and the final length you want.
| BRAID STYLE | PACKS OF BRAIDING HAIR |
|---|---|
| Cornrows (short styles) | 2–4 packs |
| Small box braids | 6–8 packs |
| Medium box braids | 9–11 packs |
| Large box braids | 8–10 packs |
| Waist-length braids | 6–8 packs |
Rule of thumb: longer styles need more packs, and if your natural hair is thick, you'll want a little extra to match your density. Each pack weighs 90–100g (3.0–3.5oz). When in doubt, grab one extra. Leftover bulk hair saves perfectly for touch-ups or your next install. For knotless braids, boho braids, micro braids, crochet, or Senegalese twists, contact Kendra's team at kendrasboutique12@gmail.com for stylist-specific recommendations.
Kendra's Boutique stocks three raw human braiding hair textures, four lengths (18" to 30"), and seven color codes. All textures are 100% raw human hair, weft-free, and available across the multi-SKU matrix below.
Soft, defined curls with a natural Type 3 texture. It holds beautifully wet or dry, and if you press it straight, it reverts right back to its curl pattern after washing. Zero commitment required.
Loose, S-shaped waves with natural movement and a soft, flowing finish. It's the perfect texture for boho braid styles where the wave is left free at the ends. "Effortless" is the word.

These steps apply to Kendra's Italian Curly and Body Wave braiding hair only. The straight Raw Human Braiding Hair (Natural) doesn't require the unraveling process.
Curly and wavy bulk hair arrives secured with elastic bands or a net to preserve the pattern in transit. Follow these steps from Kendra's product pages to unravel without causing frizz.
Your bundles may arrive secured with an elastic band or net to maintain the curl pattern. Carefully remove them without pulling or disturbing the curls.
Curly and wavy bundles need a moment to breathe. Running your fingers through immediately causes frizz and breaks up the curl pattern before it's even had a chance to settle.
Hold the bundle at the top and give it a light shake to naturally loosen the curls without separating them too much.
If you need to separate the curls slightly, use a wide-tooth comb starting from the ends and working your way up. Avoid combing through the entire bundle.
A light mist of water or a curl-enhancing leave-in conditioner keeps everything hydrated and bouncy. Skip heavy oils or thick products here. They'll weigh the curls down and dull the definition.
If the curls appear compressed from packaging, allow the hair to settle naturally for a few hours or overnight before installing for the best results.
Use a curl-refreshing spray or mousse and scrunch the hair gently to revive the texture. Avoid excessive brushing or combing.
A diffuser blow dryer gives the best curl results by helping the curls keep their natural form.
With the right care, your raw braiding hair will last through multiple installs and still look as good as the day it arrived. Here's exactly how to keep it that way.
weekly or biweekly with a sulfate-free, moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to prevent buildup and keep the hair soft.
regularly with a light oil like argan oil or serum, especially if the hair has been colored or during warmer months, to prevent dryness.
gently with a wide-tooth comb, starting from the ends and working your way up.
