Some two-part epoxy and fine grit sandpaper would probably make these perfect, so buy with caution [SEP] Three of these are excellent! The others have issues with the ends. They have splits on them, making them very uncomfortable to put in my hair. You can see in the picture one that a hair caught in. The other one is just too bad, so I can't use it. There are two that I can't use at all until I figure out how to fix the ends. However, the decorative ends are beautiful. I would recommend these with caution. You might need to be doing some repairs and light sanding and order to make them usable.
