For those who has or gotten box braids does it matter what hair to buy can I get the $1.99 hair or do it have to be the Kanekalon which is $5.99 plus at my local beauty supply ? Because I'm suppose to be getting my hair done for Easter but I'm on a budget because I still have to take my son to take pictures with the Easter Bunny or if not with the Easter Bunny than it's just going to be Easter pictures !!!!
