too shiny but passable it your braids or twists are not too big [SEP] when i first received this hair i did not think i was ever going to use it the color was slightly darker and with a bit less red than it appeared on my screen it was close enough to the image provided that the discrepancy was reasonable what i received is actually almost an exact match to my own natural hair when it is been allowed to grow long and be lightened by the sun however i was initially very dissatisfied with the amount of shine that this hair has and did not think it would ever look at all natural the only reason i decided to use it was because my dog decided to destroy the brazilian yarn i was going to use to do faux locs and i needed my hair in something that at least slightly resembled locs for a cosplay that same weekend i used this hair to do small senegalese twists and the shine was much less noticable when twisted it could pass and freshly washed and oiled natural hair in the style i am wearing now i have had the twists in for about a week now and plan to where them at least two more i would consider buying them again but it would not be my first choice the pre streched ends were very convenient and did save me a lot of time styling my hair which was very helpful as i was a bit rushed
