Afrolin Natural Hair Replacement Fiber

Answer:

A single one pound package of Afrolin is sufficient to do a full head of medium size to thinner Senegalese Twists or Casamas Braids of average length. We are defining average as being up to up to shoulder length. If the Twists/Braids are thinner, you will use less Afrolin Hair Fiber. You are able to customize the width & length according to your needs.

For comparison, one one pound pack of Afrolin Hair is equivalent to 4 packs of human hair, although human hair available through most outlets is not normally used for these styles.

Longer(mid-back) or thicker Senegalese Twists/Casamas Braids will require more than one one pound pack of Afrolin Hair Fiber, as is required with any extension hair. If that is the case, the service should be priced according to braid time required and quantity of hair used.

Answer:

If you're referring to corkscrew twists as pictured on our website under the Afrolin product, Afrolin is the best natural fiber for that style. Instructions on how to achieve the style are included on the YouTube video listed under the "Instructions" tab on the product page.

Answer:

Afrolin is not synthetic hair. It is not finished by dipping in hot water. Afrolin ends are finished the same as you would human hair. However, Corkscrews a/k/a puffy twists must be either tied off or the ends wrapped...as demonstrated in the FREE "How To" video.

Answer:

The instructional video we have shows techniques for:

Corkscrew twists (Puffy Twists)
Senegalese Twists
Cornrows
Casama Braids and
Dread Extensions

We do not yet have a video showing how to do Bantu Knots with Afrolin.

Answer:

Afrolin ends are finished differently depending on the style. For styles with relatively thick ends, like Corkscrew (Puffy) Twists, the ends are tied off.

Medium and thinner ends can be "bumped" or curled with a hot curling iron, just like human hair. Also you can shed off the ends for a graduated thinner natural finish.

Third, you can do a slide down thin undetectable knot (this technique is shown in our video). You can finish the ends just like you would finish the ends of human hair extensions. The ends will hold better because Afrolin has a more natural textured feel and is not as slippery as human hair.

Answer:

Styles with medium (pinky finger) to thin braid type styles (individuals or Cornrows), can be shampooed & submerged in water, as often as you would normally shampoo human hair extensions.

Corkscrews & thick puffy twists, lasting up to 6 weeks, cannot be submerged in water & require
scalp cleansing with a cloth.

Organic Aloe Vera Gel or Treasured Locks Locks of Curls Pomade & Gel can be used on the Afrolin hair while styling and for maintenance to smooth the hair. Treasured Locks "African Argan Elixir", Baka Butter for Hair, Vitamist & more are all nourishing leave-ins for scalp & hair maintenance. Another real benefit, of Afrolin Hair, is Afrolin Hair Does "Not Dry-out" your Natural hair while in extensions and/or transitioning.

Answer:

Afrolin comes in a continuous roll and is cut to any length you desire and/or divided into the desired thickness. The 1/2 pound roll is 35 feet long. The 1 pound roll is 70 feet long. Both are 2 inches wide.

Answer:

Afrolin is for braided and twisted styles only. It can be curled on the ends with hot curling irons. Afrolin cannot be flat ironed, combed or brushed. Flat irons can be used to "bump" the ends only.
