Here's why:
* Texture: Kanekalon hair has a texture that blends well with natural hair when twisted.
* Lightweight: It's relatively lightweight, which is important for a style like Senegalese twists that can be heavy if the hair is too dense.
* Versatile: It can be sealed with hot water to prevent unraveling and create a clean, finished look.
* Affordable: Kanekalon hair is readily available and generally more affordable than other types of braiding hair.
While Kanekalon is the most common, other synthetic hair types can also be used depending on personal preference and desired look. For instance, some may opt for a more natural-looking synthetic hair.
