I was thrilled with how well this worked for my pirate costume at the renaissance fair cosplay! I received countless compliments on my hair. It’s an affordable way to achieve that decorative look dreadlocks look without messing with your own hair. I used the red color so it was a great variety between my own hair and the red. The hair is incredibly soft and has a stunning resemblance to real dreadlocks which adds to the authenticity of my costume. It was raining and they didn't slip out. The size of them was great and visible to the eye. Easy to open and close onto my hair. The weight was light. I can’t recommend this enough!
