I wanted to write a review of these for anyone who's wanted loc extensions but can't afford to spend hundreds on ones on etsy (or other individual sellers). These are pretty good! They're flexible and in my opinion, not stiff at all- and I have had ones that would bounce back to straight when you try to bend them. These don't do that. They're fairly soft (although they do get itchy occasionally, just what comes with using synthetic hair). I recommend soaking them in apple cider vinegar before putting them on just to get rid of any skin irritating chemicals. They're pretty thin, about the size of a pencil. I got chocolate brown and blonde. I used 28 of them- I have an undercut that goes all around my head. Anyways, if you're looking for a cheaper option to other handmade ones, these definitely do the trick.
