Yarn extensions have changed my protective styling game! I've been installing yarn extensions for almost two years and Pooffie absolutely loves them! Naturally there are a few cons but the good far out weighs the bad! Below are five great reasons to choose yarn extensions for your next protective style.
1. Yarn Extensions are Light Weight
Yarn is one of the lightest materials that you can use when
installing a protective style. With most
braiding hair getting that gorgeous thick, full or long look requires quite a
few packs of hair which eventually add up in weight and may end up pulling,
breaking and damaging your precious strands. With yarn you get the bulk without
the weight. One point to note is that this stuff gets HEAVY when wet, like
dislocate your neck heavy. So I wouldn’t advise swimming with these installed.
2.
Yarn Extensions Offer Endless Colour Options
Yarn extensions offer the perfect opportunity to indulge your creativity.
The colour options are pretty much unlimited and you can mix and match your way
into My Little Pony perfection if that’s your desire. Personally I love using
black yarn as the base colour, throwing in streaks or clusters of bright
colours to add a pop. Eventually I’ll work up the courage to rock a head full
of baby blue twists!
3. Yarn Extensions Are Affordable
Yarn delivers more bang/braids for your buck when compared to the
price of Kanekalon, Marley, Afro Kinky Bulk and other popular braiding hair.
4. Yarn Extensions Provide A Natural Texture

One of the best things about using yarn extensions is probably
the texture. Yarn has this course, dull look that makes it absolutely perfect
for natural hair, especially 4c hair. Most styles using other extensions begin
to look messy and unkempt by the second week but yarn ages beautifully!
5. Yarn Extensions Offer Styling Versatility

Using yarn provides you with a whole lot of versatility when it comes
to styling. You have so many options to choose from! Booty brushing braids,
chunky twists, a 90’s box braid bob, faux locs or crochet braids and there are
some styles I probably haven’t thought of as yet! You can make your protective
style as long or as short, as thin or as thick as you like!
