Review (5/5): Exactly as described
I am very happy with this extension kit! I was initially a little worried based on the fact that it only had 2 1/2 stars when I made my purchase, but as long as you read the description it's VERY clear about what you're receiving.
These are *synthetic* feathers. They aren't meant to look like rooster feathers (as are some hair extensions) and are more like pieces of dyed hair. Think of a Halloween wig, that's pretty much the quality you're receiving here.
That being said: You can ABSOLUTELY curl AND flat iron these puppies, however, I would HIGHLY recommend only doing so on the lowest setting! They can be washed and dried just like normal hair, just make sure you don't tug at them too hard when brushing your hair. The beads that these come with have silicone on the inside so they will grip well.
How to install:
(See the pictures in my review)
* Slide the bead onto the latch hook (I used a blond bead for my pictures, however, use the bead color that most closely matches your hair)
* Take a small section of hair (about 1/2 of the width of one of these extensions)
* Latch the hair and slide the bead onto your hair (this can take a little getting used to, I would recommend using a bit of hairspray on the secton you grabbed and also twisting the hair first)
* Slide the end of the extension into your bead with your hair
* Use the provided pliers to pinch it shut
* Done!
How to remove:
* You may need help with this one. Simply put the pliers around the outside of the bead (length wise) and pinch it so it forces the bead open then just slide it out, done!
What's included in the kit:
* Synthetic, dyed hair "feathers" (52 pieces)
* 100 beads (half are blond, half are brown, no black)
* Pliers
* Latch hook
