Love them, but have some things to consider
I will start off by saying I love this hair, but...<br /><br />A bit of back story: I have short real thin messy dreads (12 in) and have had dread extensions added to my hair for over 15 years. I haven't had real hair (that stuff that normal people brush daily) in over 20 years, so this review is based on my knowledge and experience in comparison to my use of normal dread extensions. I also want to point out that I love daddydread dreads and use his dreads exclusively. Here is my review of the Curly dreadlocks:<br /><br />Pluses:<br /><br />+ Light weight. I weigh 3 lbs less with these than I do with regular dread extensions. That's 3 lbs less weight on my neck<br /><br />+ They are so soft. They feel so nice against my skin.<br /><br />+ They are beautiful. I love the curls so much.<br /><br />Minuses:<br /><br />- coverage vs. cost. I normally order 80 dreads from the same dread maker and that is normally far more than enough to fully cover my head and have some extras to add later, but 80 of these didn't even cover 1/2 of my head. (Mind you I have a thin mohawk with the sides shaved- so to not get 1/2 coverage with 80 dreads means these are very thin). But, keep in mind, 80 of these dreads are the same cost as 80 regular dreads. So you would have to pay more than double for the same coverage, and they aren't cheap.<br /><br />-Fray and friz and general upkeep. These friz so easily. In order to keep them from frizzing I would spray them every day with a water solution with a tiny amount of fabric softener and brush wet only. These also fray so much quicker and I ended up cutting the fray out often. These had to be treated like a wig much more than treated like dread extensions, which we all know require work.<br /><br />Ultimately my personal opinion is that at the current price I would only do this hair again for short term wear for a very special occasion that warranted the additional cost (i.e. wedding, or very special vacation). If the price dropped to 1/2 price I would consider these for daily use, even though they are more of a hassle they are prettier so it would be worth the hassle at a lower price point, but I just can't afford to use these daily since the coverage is so thin and the price so high. I honestly think to get a good full heads worth of coverage you would easily need to spend over $500.
