3X Pre Stretched Braid 72" - Braids Hair

Do you have a love for long hair that turns heads the moment you walk into a room? Maybe you love braids that fall well past your shoulders, move beautifully as you walk and give you that extra-long look that shorter braiding hair simply cannot create.

If that sounds like you, the MQT 3X Pre Stretched Braid 72" gives you plenty of length to create the style you have been imagining.

At 72 inches, this is not your everyday short braiding hair. It is made for anyone who wants to take their braids further and create a longer, more dramatic finish. The hair also comes pre-stretched, so you can spend less time preparing the fibre before you start braiding and more time creating your hairstyle.

But what exactly makes 72" braiding hair different? Is the extra length right for the style you want? What does 3X mean, and how does the pre-stretched finish make installation easier? And with so many colours available, which shade could work best for your next look?

In this guide, we will take you through everything you need to know about the 3X Pre Stretched Braid 72", from its length and texture to the hairstyles you can create, colour options, installation tips and aftercare.

Why Choose 72" Braiding Hair?

Sometimes, longer really is better.

If you already know that you love long braids, choosing a longer length gives you more freedom when creating your hairstyle. Instead of stopping around the shoulders or upper back, 72-inch braiding hair gives you enough length to create a much more dramatic finish.

The extra length can be especially appealing if you want braids that:

• Fall well below the shoulders
• Create a long, flowing appearance
• Have plenty of movement
• Make a bold statement
• Give you more styling flexibility
• Work well with creative braided designs

You do not necessarily have to use the entire 72 inches in your finished hairstyle either. Your braider can adjust the finished length based on your preferred look.

This makes 72" a useful option when you want the freedom to decide how long your final braids should be.

What Makes The MQT 3X Pre Stretched Braid Different?

The name tells you quite a lot about this product.

You are getting 3X braiding hair, a pre-stretched finish and an impressive 72-inch length in one product.

Each of these features has a purpose.

The long length gives you room to create extended braids. The pre-stretched finish makes the hair easier to prepare and work with. The 3X format helps you achieve a fuller braided appearance.

Together, these features make this a practical choice for anyone who wants longer, fuller-looking braids without starting with hair that needs extensive preparation.

Pre Stretched Hair Makes Braiding More Convenient

Have you ever prepared braiding hair before an installation and realised how much time the preparation alone can take?

That is one of the reasons pre-stretched braiding hair is so convenient.

The MQT 3X Pre Stretched Braid 72" comes prepared for braiding, so you do not have to spend as much time manually stretching the fibre before installation.

The pre-stretched shape also makes it easier to separate the hair into sections as you work.

This can be particularly helpful when creating very long braids because the installation itself can already take considerable time. Having hair that is ready to work with helps make the preparation stage simpler.

What Does 3X Mean?

If you are new to braiding hair, you may wonder what 3X actually means.

The 3X format refers to the amount and fullness of the braiding hair. It is designed to give you a fuller result compared with using a smaller amount of standard braiding hair.

This can be useful if you prefer braids that have more body and presence.

The amount of hair you use for each braid will still depend on the size and style you want. Smaller sections can create a more delicate appearance, while larger sections can give you thicker, more noticeable braids.

So, whether you prefer smaller long braids or a bolder, fuller look, your braider can adjust the installation according to your desired finish.

What Hairstyles Can You Create With 72" Hair?

One of the best things about choosing extra-long braiding hair is the number of styles you can create.

The 3X Pre Stretched Braid 72" can be used for a variety of braided and protective hairstyles.

Long Box Braids

If you love the classic box braid look but want something much longer, 72" hair gives you plenty of length to work with.

You can choose the size of your sections and adjust the finished length according to the look you want.

Knotless Braids

Long knotless braids are another popular option.

The extra length can create a beautiful flowing effect, especially when the braids are kept long and slim.

Feed-In Braids

The hair can also be used for feed-in braid styles. These styles allow you to gradually add hair as you braid, creating a sleek and structured appearance.

Cornrows

If you enjoy detailed braided designs, the hair can also be used for cornrows and other creative braided patterns.

Your finished look will depend on the technique used by your braider, the size of each section and how much length you decide to keep.

Braids For Men

Long braids are not limited to one type of hairstyle or wearer.

The 72-inch length can also be used to create longer braided styles for men who want a bold, extended look.

Love Colour? You Have Options

Why stick to one colour when you can change the entire feel of your hairstyle with the right shade?

The MQT 3X Pre Stretched Braid 72" comes in a variety of colours, giving you the option to keep your look natural or experiment with something more noticeable.

Available colour options include:

1, 1B, 2, 4, 27, 30, 350, 613, T1B/27, T1B/30, T1B/BUG, NBLUE, RED/PINK/LPINK, DPURPLE/RED/ORANGE, T1B/PURPLE, T1B/BLUE, T1B/GREEN, P27/613 and P27/30/613.

Availability can vary by colour, so check the available options when placing your order.

If you prefer a traditional finish, shades such as 1, 1B, 2 and 4 offer darker, natural-looking choices.

If you want something brighter, colours such as 613, NBLUE or 350 can give your braids a more noticeable finish.

The blended shades can also help you create a more personalised look without having to stay with one solid colour.

How Does The Hair Feel?

The MQT 3X Pre Stretched Braid is made with a premium blend fibre designed for braiding.

The hair is flexible enough to work with during installation while providing the length needed for long braided styles.

Because everyone's preference is different, the final feel of the hairstyle will also depend on the installation technique, the amount of hair used and how the finished braids are maintained.

Is 72" Too Long For You?

This is an important question to consider before choosing your braiding hair.

If you normally wear short or medium-length braids, 72 inches may feel like a big change. But if you specifically want long braids, that extra length is exactly what makes this option appealing.

Think about the finished style you want.

Do you want your braids to sit around your shoulders? If so, a shorter length may be enough.

Do you want your braids to extend much further down your back and create a dramatic, flowing effect? In that case, 72" gives you much more room to work with.

The advantage of starting with extra-long hair is that your braider can always adjust the finished length during installation.

How Much Hair Do You Need?

The amount of braiding hair you need can vary from person to person.

Your hair length, natural hair thickness, braid size, number of braids and desired fullness will all affect how much hair is required.

Someone choosing small, slim braids may use the hair differently from someone who wants large, full braids.

Your braider can help you decide how much hair you need based on the exact style you want.

If you are ordering for a specific installation, it is always better to discuss the required quantity with your braider before purchasing.

How To Prepare And Install 72" Pre Stretched Braid Hair

Because the hair is already pre-stretched, there is less preparation required before you begin.

Start by separating the amount of hair needed for each braid. Your braider can then section your natural hair according to the desired style and begin adding the braiding fibre.

For long braids, consistent sectioning is especially important because it helps keep the finished hairstyle neat and balanced.

The final braid size will depend on how much hair is used in each section.

If you want a fuller look, your braider can use more fibre per braid. If you prefer smaller braids, less hair can be used in each section.

Can You Use Hot Water On The Ends?

Hot-water finishing is commonly used with braiding fibre to help seal and set the ends.

If your chosen installation method calls for hot-water sealing, follow the appropriate technique and take care to avoid contact with hot water on your skin.

The finished ends can then have a neater appearance.

Always follow the recommended handling method for the fibre and your braider's preferred installation technique.

How To Care For Your Long Braids

Long braids can look amazing, but they also need proper care if you want to keep them looking neat.

Protect Your Braids At Night

Use a satin or silk bonnet or scarf before going to bed. This can help reduce friction while you sleep and help your braids stay neater.

Keep Your Scalp Clean

A clean scalp is an important part of maintaining any protective hairstyle.

Follow a suitable cleansing routine without unnecessarily soaking the braids.

Avoid Excessive Pulling

Long braids can be heavier than shorter styles, particularly when you have a full installation.

Avoid repeatedly pulling, twisting or putting unnecessary tension on your braids.

Let Your Hair Dry Properly

If your braids become wet, allow them to dry thoroughly. Long, dense braids can take longer to dry because there is more hair to hold moisture.
