This coarse Type 4 kink stands the crown up off the scalp, so wherever you drop the part, center or clean into a corner, it sits in standing coil rather than lying flat. Seven inches of base gives you part-anywhere range across the whole top while stopping short of a true ear-to-ear frontal, and once you rake it out the divide reads like your own afro.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePicks Out Into a Real Afro\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWhere a strip or a 5x5 hands you only a patch of pickable texture, seven inches square lets the afro run across the entire crown, one continuous shape under the pick instead of a flat panel. The strand earns it: coarse hair carries a medulla, a thread of pith down its core that finer hair goes without, and that core is the body that holds the kink up off the scalp when you fluff it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLift Reads Across the Whole Part\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNothing was ever pulled from this 1B. It's the strand's own black pigment resting in a cortex that was never opened, so a lightener climbs it clean and even with no patchy banding. And because a 7x7 puts so much crown on show, wherever you take the color it carries across the full part rather than one sliver, so leave it deep black or lift it to honey blonde beside color-treated bundles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Most Mesh to Vanish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSeven inches square is more lace than any closure here has to hide, so the sheer gauge does its hardest work on this one. The wider the part zone, the more film has to melt out, and only the finest grade going keeps a base this size from ever reading as fabric. On deep 1B it never throws the washed, pale cast a heavier base would, so the whole seven-inch span sinks into the part across the full width a smaller piece could never bury.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePress the Whole Crown Level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBeing pure virgin human hair means a flat iron flattens the coil right down into a hard press. The trick on a crown this wide is even heat: keep it steady from the part out to every edge so the top lands at one sleekness with no corner left coily, protectant down before each pass. When you want the texture back, a rinse lifts the kink up across the full span. You get it in two lengths, sixteen inches and eighteen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKills the Most Leave-Out\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSeven inches covers more scalp than any other closure on the board, so it leaves out less of your own hair than a 5x5 or 6x6 can, no narrow band of edges or crown left loose to blend, because the lace itself spans the whole parting field. Braid your tracks flat, tuck the edges under, and the closure carries the entire crown through weeks of low handling on your real hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetangles Without Tearing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCoily hair is at its most fragile right where the twists turn, so start each stroke down at the tips with a wide comb and work your way up toward the root, and the untouched cuticle gives you the stretch to do it. Those internal bonds let go in water and reset as the hair dries, which is why a slow wet detangle rides through the kink instead of snapping it at the bends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ctable class=\"specs-table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"spec-header\"\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"spec-header\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eHair Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003e100% Virgin Human Hair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eTexture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eAfro Kinky (mimics natural Type 4 hair)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eNatural Black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eColoring Capability\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eCan be lifted to Honey Blonde\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003e16\", 18\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eLace Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003e7x7 HD Lace\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eLace Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eHD Lace – creates a seamless blend\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eClosure Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003e7x7 HD Lace Closure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eCoverage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eMaximum coverage with versatile parting options\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eHeat Styling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eHeat Friendly – style as desired\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eRecommended Use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003ePerfect for Sew-Ins \u0026amp; Custom Wigs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003ePairs With\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eMatching Afro Kinky bundles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere the Coil Comes From\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe texture isn't stitched into the strand, it's built into the follicle.

That climb is what earns the 7x7 its size: as the coil rises it puts more crown on show than any wave would, and seven inches of base keeps every parting angle covered no matter how tall the hair stands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLiving With It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth lengths, 16 and 18 inches, take heat.
