The hair I’m wearing is the Kinky Curly Human Hair Blend Extensions which I bought from a hair company called Jorie Hair. It comes in a set of 3 Bundles – 14inch, 15inch & 16inch with a tiny 14inch closure.
Initially, when I received the hair, I first thing I was drawn to was how pretty the curls were, the hair was quite soft. The weft was well constructed and there was no distinctive smell.
I didn’t do any prior prep to the hair in terms of co-washing, but literally went straight to making it into a wig. In terms of the application of how I made it into an afro-style wig, I just followed this tutorial from Freebornnoble on YouTube which was super easy. I did double my weft for the back and single the wefts at the front, also I used the closure it came with as well as created another closure both mid-front. Once done I trimmed the very front (2-3 inches to create the fringe and 1 inches for the outer-edge), to frame the face.
When it comes to styling, I’ve been wearing it as a full-on big afro, with two side bangs falling in front and I love it!
Pros:
- Super Affordable, literally the cheapest hair ever.
- Little to no shedding.
- Easy to maintain and style.
- Fast shipping (3-5 working days UK -> Irl).
- Easy to make into a wig.
- No strong smell.
- Creates that sassy diva look, which I’ve totally been loving.
- Perfect winter hair, keeps you warm.
Cons:
- Human hair, so you can’t bleach or dye the hair.
- Doesn’t get wet. When washing/ co-washing the hair doesn’t soak up water, the water just stays on the top. Which makes it hard to revitalise the curls.
- Difficult to wear in extremely hot weather, as the afro is almost like a hat.
- Question it’s longevity.
Conclusion: ★★★★ (4.5 stars)

To add life to the hair and help revitalise the curls, I spritz it every morning with a conditioner and water spray (1 part conditioner to 4 parts water)
So gorgeous!!
Thank you beautiful 😘😘😘
I like that you said how these afro kinky lace closures create the sassy diva look. I think that is a very recognizable idea that people would try to appear as. I think everyone should find the right closures for their specific hair type. My cousin is really into lace and she talks about it all the time.
Yess I totally agree with you Zachary, thanks for stopping by.
