X-Pression Lagos Braid – Pre-Stretched Braiding Hair

Create neat, lightweight protective styles faster with X-Pression Lagos Braid, a premium synthetic braiding hair designed for smooth, professional-looking results. Inspired by the iconic X-Pression Ultra Braid, Lagos Braid comes pre-stretched and pre-pulled, helping you save time during installation while achieving a naturally tapered finish.

The pre-stretched design means there is no need to manually feather or stretch the ends before braiding. This helps reduce prep time and gives braids a softer, more natural-looking finish without bulky or blunt ends. Ideal for box braids, knotless braids, feed-in braids, cornrows, twists, crochet styles, and other protective hairstyles, X-Pression Lagos Braid is a reliable choice for both professional stylists and at-home braiders.

Each pack typically includes 2 x 42" bundles and 2 x 46" bundles, giving you generous length, volume, and layering options in one convenient pack. The lightweight, soft fibres are comfortable on the scalp, easy to section, and designed to glide smoothly during braiding while still offering enough grip for secure, long-lasting styles.

The fibres are also hot water settable, allowing you to seal the ends, smooth frizz, and create curls, waves, or customised finishes with ease.

How to Use

1. Start with clean, detangled hair and section your natural hair into your desired braid pattern.
2. If preferred, soak the synthetic hair in an apple cider vinegar and warm water mixture before use, then rinse and air dry fully. This optional step may help reduce irritation for sensitive scalps.
3. Separate the X-Pression Lagos Braid into your desired braid size. Because it is pre-stretched, no manual feathering is needed.
4. Install using your preferred braiding method, including box braids, knotless braids, feed-in braids, cornrows, or twists.
5. Braid with steady, even tension for a neat and secure finish.
6. Dip the ends in hot water to seal, smooth the fibres, and reduce frizz.
7. Finish with braid mousse and wrap with a scarf for 10–15 minutes to help lay down flyaways.

Maintenance Tips

• Wrap your braids at night with a silk or satin scarf or bonnet to reduce frizz.
• Keep your scalp moisturised with a lightweight scalp oil, braid spray, or water-based leave-in mist.
• Cleanse your scalp every 2–3 weeks with a diluted shampoo or foam cleanser.
• Avoid heavy creams, waxes, or thick gels that may leave residue on synthetic fibres.
• Re-dip the braid ends in hot water if they begin to look dull, frizzy, or matted.
• Lightly refresh the lengths with a braid spray to keep the style looking neat.
