Review (4/5): Crochet braid install
Okay so the product arrived quickly. The product DID have a smell when it arrived. Not THE normal smell synthetic hair has when you purchase it at a beauty supply store but it did have a scent. I can't identify what it is but it's not necessarily bad in my opinion. I braided my hair down, left some leave out and commenced to installing the hair as a crochet/latch hook style. I couldn't do the "invisible" crochet method in the areas I wanted it to blend better because the hair wouldn't comply and stay with the one knot. I just triple knotted it like I did the rest but used smaller sections of hair. After the full install i used my thinning shears to remove some of the bulk (I removed way more bulk than is shown in the pic. That was the bulk from the back section by itself) and i also cut about 4-6 inches off because 24" is more than i can tolerate when wearing weave. I attempted installing flexi-rods for a curly style but the left half curled beautifully and the right half just ended up wavy. It's user error because I started with the left half so the water was hotter and I didn't re-heat the pot of water on the stove before putting it in a cup to complete the right side. So I ended up brushing the curls out into waves so both sides matched. All in all I am very satisfied with my purchase. I haven't applied low heat to it as of yet to see if it holds up but I've only had it in a couple days and have been focused on other things. 4 stars because of the unidentifiable scent. I'm posting some pictures so you can see it down and up. It blends very well with my hair (when my hair is straightened of course.) The color matched my jet black exactly. I hope this helps anyone that wants to buy from them! I will be purchasing again!
