The washed braids kept their shape, but installation ran into a second day

Tori Latise · YouTube

Tori bought four packs of YGWigs 24-inch boho crochet box braids with human-hair curls, with 20 pieces per pack. She washed them with an apple-cider-vinegar rinse, shampoo and conditioner before installing them.

She saw little dirty water and liked that the braids kept their shape through the wash. Her cousin prepared the braided base, including coverage around her thinner crown.

Crocheting the pieces took much longer than Tori expected, so she stopped for bed and finished the next day. She used The Doux mousse and oil around the edges, liked the lightweight feel and was pleased with the finished style.

For another installation, she wanted to buy five packs and use about four and a half for more fullness. She had not yet made that second installation or tested longer wear.

Tori explicitly said she bought four packs.

Pre-install wash and an installation completed over two days.

A four-hour crochet installation with an all-box braid base

ForeverCryssy · YouTube

ForeverCryssy finished her own boho knotless crochet braids in about four hours from start to finish. She used an all-box braid base and spread out the crochet pieces so too much hair would not build up in one spot.

She liked being able to get the look this way and felt it saved time. She started with her own hair freshly washed and blow-dried with heat protectant.

That washing was preparation for the style, not a wash of the extensions. The short video ends with the finished installation; it does not show later washing, tangling or shedding.

Review of this hair

A month in, she liked the lighter-than-expected braids but needed thorough detangling

Lavishly Chi Chi · YouTube

Chi Chi bought YGWigs 24-inch prelooped boho crochet box braids from TikTok. The first seven packs smelled smoky and looked thinner than expected, so she washed them and ordered five more on her stylist's advice.

She reported brown wash water; the second order had no smoke smell but was washed too. After installation, five packs remained, leaving roughly seven used.

At one month, she liked the long, full style and found it lighter than she expected, though she could feel some weight. She described a synthetic braid with human-hair curls.

The curls tangled, but she had not experienced matting, and ordinary finger-detangling was manageable. Every two or three weeks she separated curls from each braid and worked through the ends more thoroughly, which took time.

She mainly noticed shedding during those deeper detangling sessions. She had washed the installed style, conditioned the lengths, air-dried the hair and blow-dried the braided base.

Diluted leave-in spray every other day kept the look fluffy without mousse. She had not tried the hair in a pool or the ocean.

She paid $44 per pack and felt a later $68 listing price was too high. Those were prices she reported at the time.

She planned to remove the braids carefully and reuse them, but had not yet completed that step.

Chi Chi said she bought the hair herself. Her description included MagicLinks and an affiliate or referral disclosure.

One month, including washing and regular detangling; reuse still planned.
