For over 15 years, I’ve been behind the chair—styling, braiding, and blending. Whether working in salons or setting up at pop-ups, one thing has always been consistent: clients love custom colour. The kind of unique blends that aren’t found in your local beauty supply store. So, I did what most passionate braiders do—I started hand-mixing colours myself.

From ash blondes melted with chocolate tones, to fiery reds blended with deep auburns—I’ve spent hours prepping the perfect tones for my customers. But while the final looks always wowed, the process was time-consuming, messy, and unsustainable for braiders working with multiple clients per day.

That’s when I realised: we needed a solution.

Meet Braid Blends: Your Favourite Custom Mixes, Pre-Stretched and Pre-Mixed

After years of demand, I decided to turn this behind-the-scenes braiding ritual into a professional-grade product: Braid Blends.

Every colour blend is still hand-designed by me—the same way I’ve always mixed hair—but now elevated and ready-to-use. Our hair is:

✨ Pre-stretched
✨ Custom hand-mixed blends
✨ Same amazing quality Kanakelon  you love from brands like X-Pressions and            Impressions
✨ No prep time needed—just braid and go

These aren’t your basic 1B, 30, or 613 bundles. Each blend has depth, warmth, and intention behind it. Whether you’re looking for subtle richness or bold creativity, Braid Blends brings artistry to your fingertips.

🌍 Scaling Up: Our Trip to China & What’s Next

Earlier this year, I took a sourcing trip to China with many missions, one being to scale Braid Blends without losing the hand-crafted magic. I met with dozens of manufacturers until I found one that understood our colour complexity and quality expectations.

Now, not only can we meet growing demand—we’re also working to expand our colour line, offer larger pack sizes, and improve eco-friendly packaging options. Every step of this journey has been about combining community needs with global solutions.

 👑 Why Braids Matter in the Black Community

Braids are more than a style. For generations, they’ve been a symbol of culture, creativity, and resistance. From Fulani braids and box braids to cornrows and twists, braided hairstyles tell stories, preserve heritage, and provide a protective base for healthy natural hair.

As a braider, I’ve seen firsthand how a new hairstyle can make someone walk taller, speak louder, and feel deeply connected to themselves. With Braid Blends, our goal isn’t just to sell braiding hair—it’s to honour the roots of this sacred craft.
