In love with this style [SEP] They are very soft and shiny. I only ended up using about 2 and a half packs because I don't like having more then about 30-40 locs but they are very light weight. Im short 4'11 so the18inch come to the small of my back, so if your short u may want to go for 14inch if having them come that far down is not your thing. I mixed in a few light brown/gold in just for some flair. I will definitely buy again once I need more.
