Freetress Boho Hippie Braids!! Are they worth it?

I recorded this video on May 28th - it is now October 30 & I am just posting it. Haha. Sums up my life. This is my quick review/initial thoughts of the Freetress Boho Hippie Braids. They are everywhere online & also in local beauty supply stores. LOVED this style!!

Beautiful hair style, thanks for sharing 💕

Have you ever seen the boho hippie shorther than 22? I'm looking for 16 to 18 inch. Im afraid of cutting the hair.

[@ashleymason2469]

I know you can buy that length on Amazon

[@Virtuenow]

Well good job - for not being a KZbinr :). It looks pretty

[@jena_alexis]

Virtuenow thank you!

[@TheShycutie08]

This is so pretty. What was the other style of braids you used? The ones with the straight ends. Do you remember that brand and name of them?

[@jena_alexis]

tierra powell thank you! & they were the regular Freetress Crochet Box Braids. I believe they were the medium size

[@TheShycutie08]

Thank you. I got my hair done today just like this!

[@browny-islandgurl6882]

Thank you.. BTW... Try the gs oil by sadora... It really works for hair growth..

[@jena_alexis]

Browny - Island Gurl I’m going to look into it, thank you!

[@browny-islandgurl6882]

@@jena_alexis your so welcome.. Hope it works for you as it did for me.. In 2 weeks I saw results..

[@yoli8587]

What is your braid pattern for this type of hair? I really want to try the style.

[@jena_alexis]

Yoli 858 it was just braids going back. the front where the individuals are was sectioned off first then the remaining - straight back cornrows. They were on the smaller side

[@markedamiller930]

Hi, How many bags did you use if each for mixing ? It looks really good !

[@jena_alexis]

Markeda Miller I used 3 packs of the boho hippie braids & 3 of the regular box braids - two of those packs were the double packs.

[@OnlytypeisChocolate]

How did you prevent the braids from slipping out????

[@jena_alexis]

If it’s crocheted correctly, it should be secure enough to where it does not slip out. If you find your knot is getting loose as time goes on, I would just say pull it to tighten it back up a little. 😊

[@red7iris]

So nice I’ve been hunting reviews on this hair all morning. I really like the mix I was thinking about all that curly hair tangling

[@jena_alexis]

red7iris that was my biggest worry. I would absolutely do it that same way again. I just think all that curly synthetic hair would be a headache.

[@idealsweetlove]

I installed these on Saturday and Oh-Em-G they're super itchy. I get this brand all the time and this is the first time this has happened. My scalp is itchy and even when they touch my skin it itches :(

[@jena_alexis]

idealsweetlove oh no, I’m so sorry this is happening to you! I didn’t have this reaction but I have friends who have had that kinda of irritation after getting braids. Usually, it’s recommended to dip synthetic hair in an apple cider vinegar/water mixture to get rid of the chemicals but since you’ve already installed yours, I’d say try the Cantu Apple Cider Vinegar Root Relief Oil. It’s on Amazon but you can probably find it at your local beauty supply store. Hope that helps!

[@idealsweetlove]

@@jena_alexis thanks i will try the oil

[@dreahdreah206]

My scalp was on fire..I took them out within a day, will try the ACV rinse

[@ouwnickiddy]

if you wet the boho style braids does it help w the frizz?

[@jena_alexis]

Ni.x0 I think it could help, I never really tried it though. I only used mousse.

[@ouwnickiddy]

Jena Alexis mousse is a good idea! i never even thought about that. i’m going on vacation tomorrow and the curls are already a little frizzy. thanks!

[@candicedurr6110]

Can you cut the hair/braids?

[@jena_alexis]

Hmm, I wouldn’t recommend cutting them. The way they’re made, they are braided down to where the hair gradually thins out. If you cut it, I imagine it’d give a weird thick, blunt look.

[@flyazzaunty714]

Why you no show us the package 💁what's wrong with you gal😁😁 your hair looks beautiful thou.... I get the 10 out of KZbinr but it's pointless to make a video about hair if you don't show the hair Packaging...ijs💁

[@jena_alexis]

MzHoney Vee hey girl! I had gotten rid of the packaging by the time I decided I would actually do the video. If you watch the video in its entirety, I inserted clips of the hair & packaging. 😊

[@sharronharris2976]

Where these lightweight?

[@jena_alexis]

Yes! They were very lightweight.
