This is not as bad as people make it out to be, especially for someone who does not want to bleach/color her hair, at all. Of course I have to rate it low as it is absolutely too short for my hair which reaches down my back.(I live in Hawaii with local Hawaiian parents, and they do not want me cutting my hair any shorter than that, though I too do not, I feel you could style it more than short hair)Any hoo, the string that goes around your head, it does not hide quite well, considering I also have flat hair. But if I poof it up a bit, goodbye string :)If you do have short hair, I would recommend it.I like this a lot. I used to color parts of my hair like this, but it was a lot of maintenance, something I'm not inclined to deal with. This hair is comfy, soft, lightweight, not itchy, & looks like your real hair. And you can get "rid" of it on occasions where wild colored hair may not be considered "appropriate", or just when it doesn't match your mood or your outfit. I'll definitely be ordering the other colors!!Definitely a kids hair piece. Obviously synthetic hair but cool for a younger girl to change her hair without permanent color. I bought multiple colors for my daughter so she can change her color whenever she wants.I loved this at first, but the elastic band does not hold it's shape and after only 2 uses it no longer stays on my head.Can’t color them. But other than that they are great.Nice my teen daughter loved them bought each colorjust wish it fit alittle better.and that the hair line was sliker.nice hair textureYou can clearly see the headband, which I kind of figured wouldn't happen.doesn't work when you have curly hair.... :o(
