wonderful to add thickness [SEP] these are the first extensions i have ever owned i have worn them twice now and overall i am enjoying them the bleached blond streaks are very bleached too much so for my hair color dark blond so i plan to darken these streaks with a darker hair color we will see how that works i wish i would gotten the more solid dark blond or light brown i purchased the extensions based on other reviews that said they are very thin at the bottom i wanted more thickness to my hair not more length although i would have been open to additional length if that worked out and i wanted enough length that i could trim them if needed i am glad i did this i was able to cut off about of very wispy ends to match my own hair length when i clipped them in before cutting them to length the wispy ends looked obvious and weird where they extended beyond my own hair length because there just was not enough hair at the ends to look right in any case when i cut them to match my own hair length they did exactly what i wanted i ended up with a nice thick braid these extensions are totally straight to achieve the look of the woman in the photo with wavy hair you would need to use a curling iron or curlers to add that wave
