More and More of my Hand-Made DIY Marley Braid (Krinklepuffs)

Collection of Colors
My handmade blended color Marley Braid in black, white, lavender, fuchsia, turquoise, aqua, dark blue and neon pink, and red…shown next to light pink machine-made Marley Braid

Details...
…it’s a bit different in texture, and a little more shiny and soft, but just as light weight and fluffy. Plus, by making it myself, it allows me the freedom to create endless color combinations and gradations.

Custom Colors and DIY Marley Braid (aka:material used to make Krinklepuffs)

I've been busy busy busy, shuffling my latest color blends...


Still working on getting the texture “just right” for my handmade custom blended marley braid…Marley Braid is a pre-made textured style of kanekalon synthetic hair, which is often used to make super fluffy lightweight falls - called Krinklepuffs or Krinkle Falls. Marley Braid is available in a somewhat limited variety of colors and most are solid. I prefer blended colors (above is a blend of neon pink and neon purple), so I’m mimicking the texture on my own custom color blends.
