Kanekalon could refer to: Synthetic fibers produced by Kaneka Corporation; Synthetic dreads or other synthetic hair products made out of such material
The most widely used type of fiber is Kanekalon, developed by the Japanese Kaneka Corporation in the 1950s. It was originally an acrylic fiber but was superseded by a version originally designated "Kanekalon N" [2] which is a modacrylic copolymer of 60% acrylonitrile and 40% vinyl chloride, where the latter imparts flame retardant properties.

Synthetic dreads are typically made by braiding or wrapping synthetic hair around a core material, such as yarn or wire, to create a cylindrical shape resembling natural dreadlocks. They come in various styles, lengths, and colors, allowing individuals to experiment with different looks, from vibrant and multicolored to natural and understated.
“Kanekalon is a big part of both of our lives. We didn’t know it was going to cause such a tizzy,” LaNea laughs. “But it definitely helped the song and our brand, so we’re happy about it.”
Modacrylic fibers are modified acrylic fibers made from acrylonitriles, but larger amounts of other polymers are added to make the copolymers. The modacrylic fibers are produced by polymerizing the components, dissolving the copolymer in acetone , pumping the solution into the column of warm air (dry-spun), and stretching while hot.
Wicker is traditionally made of material of plant origin, such as willow, rattan, reed, and bamboo, though the term also applies to products woven from synthetic fibers. Wicker is light yet sturdy, making it suitable for items that will be moved often like porch and patio furniture. [2] Rushwork and wickerwork are terms used in England. [3]
