I was very surprised this was so nice. The color was almost a perfect match for my colored blonde hair (loreal Excellence 02) but as another poster advised, I wove in a few of my own strands. The combs make it very easy to secure with a few extra Bobby pins. It would have been a little easier to have a second person to even it out, but my husband wouldn't cooperate (it took me a few times to get it right so it wasn't lopsided). For the price, it's totally worth it for a cute, easy updo! 100% recSee full review
