DUE TO A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, IKS WILL BE CLOSED UNTIL LATE AUGUST.
On June 28th, I almost died from blood loss. 4 days in the ICU, 3 surgeries, and 3 blood transfusions later, I am back home and on the way to a full recovery, but it's going to take a long time. Right now, my mobility is very limited and I can't lift anything over 15 lbs, so I'm not physically able to pack orders. The recovery time for the first 3 surgeries I had is about 6 weeks (wait, the first 3? Read on!)
Here is a tentative timeline for when IKS will be back up and running:
July 2nd
Returns will be processed this week right on schedule. I have a family member picking them up and opening the packages, but I'm personally inspecting them and issuing refunds.
July 5th
Customer service hours resume! I most likely will not be available 8-12 like usual, but I will log in at least once per day Monday through Friday to respond to messages.
Late July/early August
One more surgery! This is a small outpatient procedure and will be what determines the official reopening date. Once I'm recovered from the final surgery, I'll be able to work again.
Thank you for your patience, and I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Kanekalon Jumbo Braid
Professional quality, easy sealing 100% kanekalon jumbo braid hair. Perfect for dreads, braids, twists, curls, waves, and curly dreads!
Most of our customers use around 6-10 bags of kanekalon jumbo braid for a full head of medium-sized box braids, and 8-12 for a full head of dreads.
To make dreads from kanekalon, backcomb the hair, twist it, and then seal with with a steamer, steam from a kettle, or boiling water. Don't use dry heat like a curling iron or straightener; dry heat will cause the plastic to melt.
Some of our kanekalon jumbo braid products have an alkaline lye coating on them, and others do not. If you have a sensitive scalp, we recommend doing an ACV rinse before installing your extensions.
