I was truly surprised to see how soft it felt and that it blended so well with my own hair. It is slightly large in size for my liking but it is a good value.I haven't actually worn it yet, I got it to wear to a wedding. I have worn similar hair ties before and they work great... The hard part is finding one that matches my hair color. This one is a perfect match, I am sure it will work out fine, there really isn't much it can do not to work, unless the user doesn't know how to put it in their hair so it looks right.... My secret is to use it with one of the perfect bun rollers... that way you get a perfect bun to hold this topper.I've ordered so many different ones but this one always looks the best. As long as you get the right shade to match (even in cheaper ones), nobody will ever know it's not real. Come to find out, there's a whole group of people that tend to talk about my hair and how cute it always is, the time I put into it, etc. I started dying laughing and said really guys, my hair isn't real, as I pulled it out. They were shocked! Apparently they have been jealous of my hair for awhile haha! Also, one was a hair dresser! And a good one! She never got more than3 feet from my head or I'd say she would have spotted something but still at 3 feet it Eben fooled her.THERE ARE LITTLE TRICKS TO IT LOOKING FAKE AND REAL! Take the 2 seconds to do them! Take a mirror and look all around for threads sticking out. If it doesn't match perfect, cover up your poney rhat sticks out in the center. Fluff and fill holes. Tease little pieces if you need to to fill a spot.As far as color, if you are a solid color you really need to match perfect. If you have highlights or multi colors in your hair you can be a bit off. Naturally if I pull up my hair the poney will only be blonde but my roots will be very dark. So as long as I match the dark, I can wear a piece with more or less blonde, more or less dark or all of either blonde or dark. Again just make sure the dark matches. Another tip, when they start looking dry and old (cuz come on, they are fake, only $5 to $13 depending which brand, so you can't expect them to last years!) I use a fluffy hair scrunchy to put around it at the base. It will hide some of the dried frizzy ends. Also, I wash and really condition them. Washing will not hurt them!I liked how nicely it was packaged and the hair pins and hair ties helped. I really like the look and it gives so much dimension to my fine thin hair. It is soft and am very happy with it.I loved this hair piece especially for my thin, fine hair. Although I’ve had it less than a month and the elastic is completely shot already. I can still use it if I wrap it around several times but it feels much looser than I’d prefer it to.I liked the product but it was difficult to determine the actual color of the hair online. Neither color matched my hair at all. I did like the product and price though.Good quality product.Feels nice and soft not fake easy to blendMessy bun was exactly as advertised. I’m very happy with the results.Great volume….but the dark brown is more of a dark red brown. Doesn’t match my hair.It is too heavy.
