You can buy premium synthetic braiding hair and crochet hair and even get a monthly subscription box.  While Tiffini has had her share of hiccups along her journey the successes have been bigger. Latched & Hooked has been backed by Google, Tiffini was honored by Ulta Beauty as one of their MUSE100, and the brand was named Best Braiding Hair by Cosmopolitan magazine.
