Overall I give it a 4 star rating. The main factor in all this is DEEP CONDITIONING.....REGULARLY. Like at minimum 3 times a week.Receiving the Hair: When I received the hair, it was soft. The smell was minimal, and washing immediately removed it. The curl pattern was fabulous....but call me crazy, I could have sworn that the curl pattern is slightly different than the weft hair. It still blended, but I could tell.Coloring the Hair: I colored the hair three different times to get a good ombre blend. The hair took the color well, BUT as you know, it dries it out. So that's why I had to deep condition all the time.Pictures: I've included the three phases of the hair: Wet, "Medium", Completely dry.Closure: I'm actually disappointed with the closure. It gets VERY matted at the roots. The weft hair would always comb out beautifully and easily. And like I said, I could tell that the closure had a slightly different curl patternHow to Take Care of the Hair: Maintenance with this hair is key. I included a picture of the shampoo/conditioner I used, deep conditioner, leave in conditioner, and then light gelling product. I needed ALL of these to keep it conditioned and keep the frizz from getting out of control.Summary: Great look...but lots of maintenance...not a fan of the closure. Probably would buy the hair again, but a different closure.
