I’m getting my hair braided this weekend and I’m trying to figure out what hair to get for boho french curl braid that look the most like the first picture. The first picture is what I’m going for the most in terms of length (hip length), volume, and color. Second picture is just another volume and part size example.

I think the colors in the first picture are 1B and 30? I spoke with my braider about what hair she recommends and how much but I was left a little confused. The braids will use normal braiding hair so she recommended 2 packs of x-pression pre-stretched braiding hair. For the human hair though, she recommended 2 packs of 22” deep bulk sensationnel empire bulk hair.

That left me with a few questions:

1. For the braiding hair: should I get 1 pack of 1B and 1 pack of 30?
2. For the human hair: Will “deep bulk” give me the same look as picture #1? Or should I go for a different type of curl for french curls?
3. Should I also get both 1B and 30 for the human hair? I have some doubts since it looks like only 30 was used in picture #1 (maybe also another color I’m not recognizing?)
4. Is 22” too long for hip length? I’m not trying to go past that tbh
