In short: Pre-stretched means the fiber is already prepared with gradually tapered ends, reducing the work needed before braiding.
A pre-stretched fiber is already prepared with a gradual length and tapered ends, so it requires less manual preparation.
Why choose it?
- Reduces preparation time.
- Facilitates separation.
- Helps achieve more gradual ends.
- It's practical for box braids and knotless braids.
