Darnell’s Favorite: Bulk Hair for Ultimate Customization
While Darnell loves the versatility of wefts, his true favorite is bulk hair—the foundation of truly bespoke creations. For a master wig maker, nothing beats the freedom and flexibility that bulk hair offers.

Why does Darnell prefer bulk hair?
- It gives him complete control over density, direction, and parting.
- It’s perfect for creating lace wigs, closures, and frontals by hand.
- It blends seamlessly into all hair types when customized properly.
For elite stylists and wigmakers, bulk hair is the gold standard. Darnell’s go-to? bulk hair for braidng—always ethically sourced and available in a wide range of textures and colors for true creative freedom.
