Review (1/5): Unholy Pink & Purple Cuss-Tangle of Horror
I literally just gave up trying to braid with this hair... After nearly 3 hours, I had only a quarter of my hair braided--and I was not doing little tiny braids but thick box braids. I can braid my whole entire head in three hours--but evidently only if I'm using braiding hair with decent (not even "high") quality. I could not start a braid without it turning into a nappy little horror show. I know synthetic hair tangles, but this mess was on a whole 'nother level, fam! Usually, if the hair tangles it does so when you're about half-way down the braid. I could not start a braid without this trash going sideways in a hurry. I'd have to restart... and restart ... and restart .... and restart ... cut some knots out ... restart ... etc.
I was really looking forward to wearing blonde-pink-purple ombre braids for Valentine's week, and I tried to stick with it. But I realized I'd probably have to spend another 4 hours fighting a pink and purple rat's nest on a Saturday afternoon. I quit and actually took the braids I did manage to wrangle in out. By that point, I had been throwing away so much of the hair, I didn't think I would have enough to finish. That big nappy mess in the pic is probably a bundle's worth of hair that was un-salvageable because of the tangles.
Whoever manufactures this hair needs to find better quality fiber. The colors are beautiful, yes, but the fiber quality is trash. Why they are charging $20 for this pretty but low quality stuff is beyond me. I usually pay about $5/3 bundles at my local beauty store (and that stuff doesn't tangle anywhere near as bad). I understand the coloring probably increases the manufacturing cost, but that's only if the fiber was good quality to begin with. This hair would be worth $20 if the fiber were better.
