UV Reactive Braiding Hair
Posted by I Kick Shins on Oct 11th 2019
Sometimes a blacklight will surprise you!
In general, bright and neon hair colors are UV reactive. That's not always the case, though; some very unexpected darker colors glow like crazy (like Emerald Green!), and some bright colors react very little, if at all.
In the coming months, we will be updating all of our product pages to show the UV reactive colors in all their glowy glory. For now, here's a complete list of all UV reactive colors for solid and blended colors for high heat kanekalon, kk jumbo braid, and marley braid.
Some of the blends on the list are a mix of UV and non-UV colors; the parts that do react are very bright, so the overall color is pretty glowy. Many other colors react slightly, but aren't particularly bright, so we've left them off the list.

What's Next?
We haven't tested multicolored kanekalon jumbo braid, multicolored high heat Festival Braid, Amazon 3X, Mood Braid, thermal hair, or any colors/products released after October 2019. If there's a particular color you're wondering about, contact us and we'll be happy to check it for you.
We have checked glow in the dark braiding hair; all colors and brands for that are UV reactive. Most of them react in various shades of bright blue or green. Light from a blacklight will also recharge the hair's ability to glow, the same way that actual sunlight does.
