I’ve had natural dreadlocks in the past, so my expectations for synthetics was pretty low, especially for less than 20$ for 10 pieces. I have very thick hair, a little past my shoulders. I braided 24 extensions in to complete my full head. I washed them after installing to test durability. When wet, they are pretty heavy, but they dry quickly. A few hours in, I can’t say that they smell bad or that they’re itchy. They’re a mite heavier than my natural hair, but the only issue I have had is getting used to having such long hair now. For those who are having an issue with itching, might I suggest a satin cap for the evening and some oils to keep your scalp from getting too dry. Will update at a later date.
