Hi Stacey, thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear that you had trouble with the silver hair extensions in a braid. Our product is specifically designed for braiding and styling, which is why it comes in a braid to prevent tangling. This also makes it easier to mount onto a hanger and carefully unbraid to add into your hair. Many hairstylists around the world love using these extensions for added color and effect in their styling. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration. Thank you.
