Evolving
from the roots
In more ways than one, braids were historically used as a form of expression and cultural significance. Braiding was more than just a hairstyle and instead seen as a social art giving women the opportunity to bond, socialise and share stories.
“We all have the option of how we want to express ourselves through our life, hair, style or whatever we decide. We shouldn’t be pigeonholed into any one category.”

Classic braidsare available in nine traditional-looking styles, including the world-famous Ultra Braid. The latest addition is the Kingky Braid– designed to help you create an array of statement looks, while feeling light and supremely comfortable to wear.
The Crochet Braids collection offers seven styles spanning small delicate box braids to larger-than-life twists – and everything in between. They're made from lightweight synthetic fibres and most importantly they are easy to crochet, making application simple and finished in a flash!
For Weave On, X-Pression has channelled the same style and quality in its range of braids into an exciting 14-piece weave collection. Choose from either a pre-styled look or create your own bespoke version.
