Product Review: Cro-Havanna Twist from FREEDOM collection.

I had no intention of blogging about this hair but since I posted it on my Instagram page @ellamedupin, I’ve been getting questions non stop about it. Questions and compliments too so I decided to make a detailed post reviewing the hair for those who have questions. Since this post wasn’t planned, I don’t have the necessary pictures but I’ll do my best to be as detailed as possible. Plus I threw in some pictures showing you some ways you can style this hair so please keep reading.

The name of this hair is Cro-Havanna Twist and it’s from the FREEDOM hair collection brand. It’s a 2 in 1 hair because you can unravel the twists to get a different look. There’s different types of crochet braid hair from the FREEDOM collection and they’re all listed at the back of the pack with pictures shown.

Sorry about the picture quality

This hair isn’t bulky at all but it can get a little heavy depending on how many packs you use. Speaking of, I used 6 packs (5 blacks, 1 purple) to achieve this hairstyle.. I know right?
A pack contains 12 pieces of hair and I initially got 4 packs but it wasn’t enough at all so I had to go back to get two more packs. A pack costs N1500 for 24″ (what I have on) and N1000 for the 12″ but you might find it cheaper if you’re buying in bulk. So in total, I spent N9000 to get this look and since I installed it myself, that’s all I spent.
I made a total of 8 cornrows on my head so that’s roughly 9 pieces a row. I crisscrossed each cornrow to get different parts on my hair.
I purchased this particular brand because of the look I was going for i.e. The Havana twist, it was the most affordable I could find. The Janet collection Mambo twist retails for about N2500, and Supreme Royal twist retails for about N3000 a pack though I don’t think you’ll need up to 6 packs because they are more bulky than this one.
Now the Pros of this hair:
– It’s light weight.
– Soft to touch.
– Available in different colors.
– Quite economical.

Cons:
– I don’t think it’s reusable. That’s my own judgment because it’s so soft and some strands of hair are coming out already.
– It’s too bouncy for my own comfort lol.

Will I repurchase though? Yes but in a shorter length i.e. 12″. I like big hair but long hair isn’t really my thing except it’s a wig lol.
So overall, I’ll grade this hair a 7.5/10 which is fair considering I haven’t stopped getting compliments since I installed it.
As to where you can get it, ask around in your local beauty supply stores/market. I got this in Ibadan so I’m sure you’ll find it if you look well enough.
