Okay, so can we talk about this natural gray curly hair for a second? When I first saw someone rocking silver braids at a hair show, I literally stopped mid-conversation. Not gonna lie, I was expecting it to be synthetic because finding real human hair in natural gray? Girl, that's like finding a unicorn. But THIS exists, and it's completely changed how I think about protective styles for women embracing their silver.

What Makes This Special
Real talk. This isn't your typical braiding hair. First off, it's RAW Vietnamese hair, which means it hasn't been chemically processed at all. The natural gray color? That's real. No bleaching, no coloring, just gorgeous salt-and-pepper strands that look like they grew that way (because they did).
The curly texture is what really gets me though. You know how most bulk hair comes in basic textures? This has that soft, springy curl pattern that actually bounces back when you stretch it. When I first felt it, I couldn't stop playing with the curls. They're not tight kinky curls but more like a loose spiral that adds so much dimension to braids. And since it's virgin hair, you can wet it, condition it, style it... basically treat it like your own hair.
Here's the thing that blew my mind: this hair blends seamlessly whether you're fully gray, going through the transition, or just want that distinguished silver look. I've seen clients use it for knotless braids, goddess locs, even just adding subtle highlights to their regular braiding styles. The versatility is honestly insane.
The Real Details
Here's the thing about working with raw hair. It needs a little love before installation. I always co-wash mine first (just conditioner, no shampoo) to wake up the curl pattern. Takes maybe 10 minutes but makes such a difference in how soft and manageable it becomes.
Since each pack is 100 grams, you're looking at needing about 3-4 packs for a full head of knotless braids, maybe 2-3 if you're just adding it for highlights or doing a half-head style. The curls do make it appear fuller than straight hair, so you might get away with less than you think.
Maintenance is pretty straightforward. A light leave-in conditioner keeps the curls defined, and wrapping with a satin scarf at night prevents tangling. This hair can last through multiple installs if you take care of it properly. Just gentle washing between uses and proper storage (I keep mine in a mesh bag).
Bottom Line
Girl, if you're embracing your grays or just love that sophisticated silver look, this is IT. Premium quality that actually looks and feels like real hair because it IS real hair. No plastic shine, no tangling nightmares, just beautiful natural texture that moves and behaves like the hair growing from your scalp. Your protective styles just got a serious upgrade.
