Review (2/5): Terrible; Too STINKY, Hard & Scratchy for Me
I’m new to the “hair game” so the only other brand of natural looking synthetic hair that I’ve tried is RastaAfri, which I think is fabulous because the hair doesn’t feel hard, stiff, itchy or stink to high heaven like this Marley hair does. The smell is really awful and if I hadn’t desperately needed this texture ( the store where I buy the RastaAfri brand was out of stock) I would’ve promptly returned this. Even after rinsing and spraying it with a spray designed for synthetic hair, it was still stinky!
This hair has less of a tendency to tangle because it’s so hard and unyielding, so I’d rather have a few tangles than a stiff, itchy uncomfortable feeling. I was thinking about using it for crochet but decided against it because in addition to being itchy, the individual sections are almost impossible to separate easily. Also, the 1b color needs a bit more brownish/red to make it blend perfectly with my natural hair color.
I did get a whole lot of hair that is finished well (lovely ends and segments) but I’ll go back to RastaAfri for this type of hair. Wish AMAZON would sell it as a Prime item!
