What EXACT hair should I buy for this Bora Bora/Mermaid braid look? Human hair recommendations please!
I’ve been going down a rabbit hole trying to figure out exactly what hair I need to buy, and I’m hoping someone who’s had this style done can help.
Are these called Bora Bora braids, Mermaid braids, or something else? I keep seeing different names.
Here are my inspo pics:
Soft, flowing look with only a handful of braids around the face (not a full head of knotless braids).
Long, loose wet-and-wavy texture.
Waist or Butt length.
I haven’t decided whether I’m going with the darker version or the honey blonde version yet.
My questions:
What exact type of human hair should I order?
Deep Wave?
Water Wave?
Ocean Wave?
Wet & Wavy?
Something else?
What brand actually works?
(I’m okay with Amazon or a quality hair company if it’s worth it.)
100% human hair only.
I want to be able to wear it in the water and have it still look soft and natural.
How many bundles/packs would I need for butt-length hair with this style?
What length(s) would you recommend?
26”? 28”? 30”?
If you’ve had this exact look, what would you buy again and what would you avoid?
I’m trying to avoid spending hundreds on the wrong hair, so I’d love recommendations from people who’ve actually worn this style. Photos and links are definitely appreciated!
Thanks!!
