Beautiful handmade natural hair fabric jewelry tubes patented and produced in the USA. Nu'bien Tribal Tubes (NTTs)® may be used to decorate braids, locs, or twists. They are meant for everyday long-term wear and can dramatically extend the life of braids or loc maintenance by camouflaging the new growth as the hair grows out. They are the ULTIMATE hair retention and protective styling tool for your hair growth journey. NTTs® are perfect as a gift and can be worn alone or with beads, cuffs, and other hair decorations. You may wash your hair with NTTs® installed or uninstall for a quicker drying time. NTTs® are recyclable! Before and after use, simply wash and dry them as you would clothing and store them for future use. This listing is for 24 NTTs®, which are approximately 9 inches long
