I’m satisfied [SEP] I soak and wash the hair in vinegar 3x before installing then use herbal essences so it smells nice. If it ever had a smell, I wouldn’t know it but I do know that when I’ve used other brands and washed them sometimes the color still came off on my clothes and this does not have that problem. The colors are vibrant, the hair is soft..... it’s itch free mainly because of my vinegar rinse and it looks good for the install after all that initial manipulation. I used 6 packs for my current look in color and threw in half a back of black in the back and it turned out lovely. This is the Pre twisted variety. I love it, shipping was fast and this hair is very light weight.
