Leeven 108 Strands Short Soft Locs Crochet Hair - 12 Inch 6 Packs Ombre Brown Wavy Dreadlocs | Pre-Looped Faux Locs Crochet Braids for Black Women (T30) | Perfect for Protective Styling, Everyday Wear & Special Occasions

These arrived on time and they are as they appear in the photos. Ordered 6 packs of the #4 which is a dark brown. My natural hair is shoulder length so I needed a few more strands to cover my whole head. I was 16 strands short so I had to order another pack. Worked out fine in the interim anyway because I started from the back and the 16 small braid/twists I made in the front of my head blended nicely with no locs installed. These locs are narrow and there is not a lot of bulk at the scalp when the locs are knotted in place. As narrow as they are it is not difficult to pull small braids through the middle of the loc, however to do this I highly recommend you use a mirror with magnification to make the install quicker and easier. I also recommend that you make your cornrows narrow. This hair ravels and unravels easily while maintaining a neat appearance when rewrapped. The hair arrived very clean and free of odor. I rinsed it in 8 cups of water with 1 cup of vinegar and put it on a hanger to drip dry outside before installation. These locs are not irritating to the skin. They have a soft shine as does my natural hair so it blended nicely at the roots. I moisturize my scalp with leave in conditioner mixed with water in a spray bottle and spray around my roots every few days. I do this in the morning and it dries after about 2 hours, their is no dripping. The fibers do not seem to accumulate bacteria easily as they still smell very clean after almost 4 weeks of wear and I only spray the roots with water or water/conditioner mixture. I have taken a few out to tighten hair in the front and they remove and reinstall very easily. These are nice and I hope the manufacturer doesn't change anything. Right now I would highly recommend and these will be my go to the next time I order locs.
