Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First time using clip ins since going natural last year. I didn't realize natural hair clip ins were a thing! Before I plunked down several hundred dollars on a "fancy" set, figured I'd have a trial run with these from Amazon as they looked pretty legit. My hair is tricky with clip ins as it's thinning around the edges and I even have a bald spot on one side of my head..but I make it work. I've been wearing these in various ways for several weeks and have been wearing some form of extensions -( clip ins, sew ins, fusion, lacefronts, from beauty supply quality to high end) for more than 2 decades so am beyond qualified to share some Pros and Cons. My hair is 4a-4b btw. Okay, so anyways - these clips are pretty damned awesome. I ordered 4 packs 14-18inches and am currently wearing about 10-11 clips longest in back to shortest in front. PROS: The combs are securely attached to the hair, I've had zero issues with combs becoming detached from the hair PROS: Each weft is quite thick PROS: 2 packs should be enough for a full head PROS: Combs clip securely to hair, even the areas in the front of my hair where my hair is thinning - I've been sleeping in them weekly. I just unsap and tighten any areas that loosen up. PROS: I guess the combs and mink eyelashes included PROS: The hair behaves as human hair and offers versatility. I have separated the curls and worn them poofy, I have wet the hair down and added gel to define the curl. Each time the curls returned. PROS: Easy affordable way to experiment with natural hair clip ins. PROS: I've experienced very little shedding which makes me feel confident about the longevity of the hair. PROS: Extremely great value and great quality CONS: I doubt the validity of 100% human hair. This is clearly hair factory created to perform like real hair. CONS: The color is horrible. Most natural hair is a dark brown. This is a very light brown. I've yet to try to dye the hair (will update my review when I do) CONS: You will want to cut and reshape the hair if you wear a full head to make it look more natural CONS: the weft where the curl is attached - there is about .5 of an inch that is bone straight and wig shiny. I hate that CONS: the hair looks dryer than it needs to. You will want to add a bit of coconut oil so it doesn't look helplessly thirsty Overall - this hair is really great entry level natural hair clip ins hair. If you don't mind the mousy brown color and are considering buying clip ins.. start here so you can play with them to figure out styles that work best for you before you invest in more expensive clip ins. I'd recommend at least 2 packs for a full head. My look in the photo is nearly 3 packs and I've plenty of hair left over from the 4 packs I bought. UPDATE: 8/24 - Okay, so I said I'd come back and update after I dyed it.. and I'm back. So, I've also changed my rating to 5 stars. I LOVE this hair. I dyed it jet black with the IonDye (I used the one with Ammonia). The hair took to the dye, but I did leave it on for nearly 2 hours. I also conditioned the heck out of it with Trader Joes conditioner. I then hung it up to dry. While it was drying I noticed it was turning into a frizzy mess. So I sprayed it with a mixt of water and a dollop of Giovanni leave in conditioner, finger detangled and let it dry. It dried beautifully.. the curls were a bit looser, but they were gorgeous, happy and shiny. Every morning, I wake up, I spritz with a bit of water..the conditioner and water. Either way - if you are accustomed to taking care of your natural hair, this hair requires maintenance but less than your natural hair.
