Rast A Fri Silky Braid 24in 5-Pack — Pre-Stretched Kanekalon Afrelle Fiber, Soft & Flexible

RastAfri Freed'm Silky Braid 24" is a pre-stretched, silky synthetic braiding hair made from 100% Afrelle Modacrylic fiber by Kanekalon, sold in a five-pack for full-volume protective styles.

Designed for speed and a natural finish, this lightweight braiding hair gives professional-looking box braids, knotless braids, twists and crochet styles without heavy prep. The fibers come pre-stretched to shorten installation time, are hot-water-set friendly for neat ends, and are engineered to mimic the sheen and drape of natural hair while remaining tangle-resistant and flexible for everyday wear.

How will Freed'm Silky Braid speed up my braiding routine?

The pre-stretched construction means you spend less time pulling and stretching bundles before installation. That reduces prep steps and lets stylists or DIY users braid more sections per hour with consistent tension.

• Pre-stretched fibers ready to install right out of the pack
• Consistent strand length and thickness for uniform braids
• Lightweight feel reduces hand fatigue during long sessions

Does this hair look and move like natural hair?

Made from 100% Afrelle Modacrylic fiber sourced from Kanekalon, the texture is silky and smooth with a natural-looking sheen. The fiber drapes like relaxed hair and remains flexible, giving styles a soft appearance rather than a rigid synthetic shine.

• Soft, silky finish that mimics natural hair movement
• Low-luster sheen for a realistic, everyday look
• Flexible strands that hold braids and twists without stiffness

Can I style and finish braids with hot water?

Yes—these fibers respond well to hot water setting, which helps seal ends and lock the braid pattern. Use a controlled hot-water dip to smooth frizz and create durable, polished ends without compromising the fiber's softness.

• Hot-water friendly for sealing and neatening braid ends
• Maintains softness after setting when handled properly
• Works for a range of finishes: blunt ends, tapered ends, or sealed knots

How much coverage does a five-pack provide and what styles suit it?

The five-pack is intended to deliver full-head volume for common protective styles; exact quantity needed varies with braid size and head circumference. It’s suitable for box braids, feed-in and knotless techniques, crochet installs, and two-strand or three-strand twists.

• Five packs offer salon-level quantity for medium-to-large installations
• Best for 24" braids, knotless procedures, and long crochet looks
• Lightweight composition prevents overly bulky results even in full-head installs

Who is this for: RastAfri Freed'm Silky Braid 24" (5-pack) is aimed at professional braiders, salon owners, and anyone who prefers quick-install protective styling with a natural finish. It’s ideal for people who want a soft, easy-to-handle synthetic fiber that reduces prep time, holds up to hot-water finishing, and creates sleek, long-lasting braids or twists without excessive weight.
