Freetress hair stories.

Still loved the curls at three weeks, despite matting and frizz

Hair: Freetress Bohemian Braid crochet hair, 20-inch, colors 2 and 27

Krissyslifestyle wore 20-inch Freetress Bohemian Braid in colors 2 and 27 for about two to three weeks. She bought around six packs at roughly $7 each.

The blonde front felt bold at first, but grew on her and brought compliments. The synthetic curls sometimes matted and stuck together.

She used water to reshape them and trimmed frizzy ends, without other styling products, and wrapped the hair at night. She still loved the look, but found the texture less flexible to restyle.

Cutting it shorter, separating more curls and wearing it another week were plans; she did not report a completed shampoo wash, takedown or reuse.

Wear: About two to three weeks

The pull-apart bundles saved prep time and changed shape with water

Hair: Shake-N-Go/Freetress Wet N Wavy bulk hair with Freetress braiding hair

Indybindy used four bundles of Shake-N-Go/Freetress Wet N Wavy bulk hair with separate Freetress prestretched braiding hair for her boho braids. She found the curly pieces easy to pull from their two holding threads and said the preparation took about ten minutes.

She liked the fullness and reported little to no shedding while handling it. She spread the braiding over three days with breaks.

That was installation time, not three days of finished wear. Water and Kaleidoscope mousse helped detangle and changed the fluffy dry waves into a more compact wet look.

She scrunched the hair to bring out the curls and liked both finishes. Her suggestion that the style could last two months was an expectation, not a completed wear result.

Wear: Installation over three days, followed by wet styling.

Loose Deep matted early; a curl activator helped the mixed install

Hair: Freetress Gentle Wave mixed with Loose Deep

dijahnobe accidentally mixed Freetress Gentle Wave and Loose Deep in the same crochet install. Near the four-week mark, she was ready to take it down.

The Loose Deep at the back had tangled and matted almost immediately, and she had cut away a substantial amount. She found Gentle Wave easier to manage, although the mixed install made it hard to keep the two textures separate.

Water, a Garnier oil and a Remy hair spray each made the hair harder to handle in her experience. World of Curls activator finally helped her separate and brush through it, making it more manageable for work.

She planned to remove this install and try another brand. The video does not establish a completed takedown or reuse, and her result should not be read as a test of either Freetress texture worn alone.

Wear: Nearly four weeks in a mixed-texture install

Hair: Mixed Janet Perm Peruvian Ocean Wave color 4 and Freetress Niagara 1B/2 synthetic crochet, one installation

Ericka Wolfe spent about a month wearing a mixed installation of Janet Perm Peruvian Ocean Wave and Freetress Niagara crochet. She found the Janet strands too slippery and required extra knots, while the Freetress pieces were easier to secure.

She trimmed the style shorter and liked its appearance, but reported she had not washed it during that month. The results cannot be credited entirely to either hair product.

Wear: Approximately one month wearing mixed-brand crochet, did not wash during that month; no completed takedown.

Daily knots needed cutting in a mixed Zury and Freetress install

Marzita B · Published May 2014

Hair: Zury Deep Twist mixed with Freetress Loose Appeal

Marzita B wore Zury Deep Twist mixed with three packs of Freetress Loose Appeal for two weeks. The Zury hair had been hard to separate during installation and kept forming knots she could not finger-comb out.

She cut them away almost daily and found that hair drier, frizzier and more cloth-like to the touch. The Freetress pieces felt smoother and responded better to a little braid spray or gel.

She thought most of the trouble came from Zury, but acknowledged that some tangling could also involve the Freetress hair because the two were mixed together. She still enjoyed the overall style and preferred it after trimming it to frame her face.

She had not shampooed the install and planned to remove it a week later. She would not repurchase the Zury hair, while reserving a final verdict on Loose Appeal until she wore it on its own.

Wear: Two weeks; neither shampooed nor taken down yet
