Motown Tress is the pick for braid designs that would take the longest to install. Its whole hand-tied lace units include WLB.Heart, a 32 inch style with a flat twist top finished in a heart shape, plus WLB.Star, WLB.French and WLB.Sidecr, all with HD invisible lace, wavy baby hairs and a glueless elastic comfort band. These cost about $95 to $100 on sale. For a plainer look, the WLBII.Xbox gives 36 inch box braids with a free part on hand-tied HD lace for $59.99 when we checked, and a 13x4 hand-tied Box Braid 38 is the same price. The range is small and the design units are among the pricier wigs here, and the listings say little about washing or care, so ask the retailer before you buy.
Who it is for
Wearers who want a statement braid design, like a heart part or flat twist top, without a long install.
Price
WLBII.Xbox 36" from $59.99 on sale (regular $153.99); whole hand-tied design units about $95 to $100.
