Weekly Hair Note- Why So Many 9A Regulars Are Upgrading to 9A Plus By Danaejah, Store Manager — Brooklyn Hair (Irvington, NJ)
Good day, beautiful. It’s Danaejah from our Irvington, New Jersey store.
If you’ve shopped our 9A bundles before, you already know they’re a solid, reliable choice for a clean install. But lately, I’ve been seeing the same thing happen in the shop: customers who walk in planning to grab their usual 9A touch 9A Plus once… and upgrade on the spot.
It’s not because 9A isn’t good—it is.
It’s because 9A Plus has that extra level of polish and everyday manageability that shows up when real life starts after your first wash, through commuting, and during a busy work week.
Why the “Plus” Matters: It’s About Hair Ratio
When you feel 9A Plus in your hands, it’s not about “more weight.” Many bundles are the same weight range. The difference is what I call Hair Ratio—how full the bundle stays from top to bottom.
Here’s a simple comparison to make it clear.

Danaejah’s quick explanation: What “Hair Ratio” means
A lot of hair looks thick at the top, then gets thin and “stringy” at the bottom. A high ratio means you’re getting more long strands throughout the bundle, so the ends look fuller and more expensive without you feeling like you have to trim off a lot just to make it look thick.
That’s the “upgrade” customers notice right away.
Customer Spotlight: “It looks expensive, but it still looks like me.”
One of my regulars came in to restock her usual 9A. I told her, “Before you decide, just touch the 9A Plus.”
She did and she left with three bundles of Silky Straight.
About a week later she told me she was glad she upgraded because:
- the hair still felt soft after several days
- it didn’t get dry or puffy once her week got busy
- mornings were easier brush, go, and still polished
- the overall look stayed “fresh install” longer
Her words: “It looks expensive, but it still looks like me.”

Danaejah’s pro tips to keep your bundles looking new longer
Even the best hair performs better with the right routine:
- Wrap nightly: silk or satin scarf/bonnet every night
- Heat protection: keep temperature reasonable and protect first
- Light moisture: avoid heavy oils; use a lightweight leave-in or serum
- Detangle gently: start at the ends and work up
Small habits make a big difference.
