These were super quick for order. Easy to install. A little scratchy feeling, but for some reason it doesn't bother me. I have very very thick hair so this took my sister about 5 hrs to install. We just watched a few you tube videos and we were on our way. I have double ended and single ended in. It did get way too thick at the end, we were able to take a few double ended out and replace with single ended with ease. I will definitely be keeping this in as long as I can and putting them back in when they start to look shabby. Absolutely love them!
Add: approximately 3 months since I've had these in. Besides a little maintenance to the elastic bands that pop every now and then I have not had to do anything else. When the band pops the dread actually stays in place, for days until I get to it. Last two pics are 3 months out. I literally wake up and go. There is no everyday maintenance to these.
