not easy as they make it look [SEP] not easy as they make it look i gave this a fair try because i used to use ripped up pieces of cotton and did rag curls all my life figured i would try something new and innovative it is not easy i got one in successfully and i kept trying but it was damaging my hair too much to continue one time the hook went through the netting comment that took me minutes to try to get it out of my hair i used wetter hair drier hair i tried more hair less hair and i was successful with only one guess the old way using strips of cotton and using rag curls is what i m going to continue to do maggie he would be better with shorter hair i do have quite the long hair but it worked for one but i could not get it to work properly for the rest of them so i guess it s up do you if you want to try them or not
