good quality [SEP] bought these to add to my daughters hair when i braid it gave them to her as a christmas gift put them in for the first time about or days ago she had a few of each color took them out today i noticed some of the color fading they are obviously still colorful i guess just the wear of her sleeping on them for a few days wore out the color somewhat still a great buy since there are so many i will just rotate which ones i use pretty sturdy when opening closing to put on take off the hair but does not hurt to be careful not to bend too much
