2X X-Pression Ultra Braid is one of the most popular pre-stretched synthetic braiding hairs, widely used for creating neat, long-lasting braid styles. Made from 100% Kanekalon fibre, it is known for being soft, lightweight, and easy to braid.
The “2X” refers to the double bundle pack, giving you more hair in one pack—making it more cost-effective and convenient for full-head styles. Because it comes pre-stretched, it saves time during installation and helps achieve a natural tapered finish without extra preparation.
With a typical length of around 46 inches (folded), this hair is ideal for long braids and versatile styling.
