they are pretty decent these are not actual rooster feathers [SEP] for what these are they are pretty decent these are not actual rooster feathers they are synthetic hair with dyed banded stripes on them i use them to add some color to wigs that i wear and they look fantastic the loop tool and beads are nice and if you install them correctly you cannot see the beads even though they are darki did have to trim the bonded end to get them to lay correctly but not a huge deal at all i almost prefer these over the real feathers as these are easier to fluff out and blend into hair and it is easier to comb through your hair with these in just hold the extension at the bead so you do not pull it out when combing that section of your hair if you have a younger kid that wants feathers in their hair i would suggest using these instead
