There are two types of human hair – Indian Remi and yaki. It is down to preference and the desired result for which one you choose. Remi hair is considered the best grade for quality. It's sourced from a single (human) donor which means the cuticles are aligned in one direction.

*Fun Fact: X-pressions hair is technically 100% Kanekalon. The only difference it that this hair is processed to be smoother, softer and neater. Price: Xpressions is a bit more expensive than regular Kanekalon hair, A single pack of “Xpressions” will run you about $5.

So, as you can imagine, micro braids are some of the most expensive to have done and usually cost between $150 to $450 depending on other factors, though this price doesn't tend to include the cost of the hair you need (which may be about four packs of pre-stretched braiding hair).
