These are a must in beginner dreads! I have been absolutely in love with mine! I have super long and thick hair and it took me about 45 double ended synthetic dreads to complete my entire head. I’ve had them in for one week and just washed them for the first time and I am amazed at the hold up, the dry time, the overall look and feel of them! I purchased a couple long satin hair caps for overnight to protect the hair and keep from itchiness on the skin. The low maintenance and carefree styling that comes along with these extensions is a relief! Hundred times over 100% get these!
