the arrow causes problems [SEP] okay i love the ring and i get a lot of compliments when i wear the ring however i gave up on trying to use the arrow after two tries it goes in great unfortunately it causes all sorts of problems when you try to remove the arrow it gets tangled up in the hair upon extraction so the next time i tried pushing it through and my hair became entangled on the end pieces the reason that i gave this a star review is because i have other plain hair sticks that i use in lieu of the arrow so if you do use this hair decoration use a plain hair stick and save yourself some frustration
