I brought these locs about 6 months ago and they have held up great! The hair itself is soft and flexible, and it doesn't irritate my scalp. The three packs was enough to give my 23in head a nice full look. Straight out of packing, the hair was well wrapped and consistent in quality. The only thing I did was tease the locs since they did have a "shine" to them and as a way to give them a "worn" look.
