Don't read bad reviews.

I wish people would stop commenting on things they don't understand. This product comes exactly as advertised. This is for the makeup of the costume. This is not a braid that is braided into your hair. This is not a wig. You untie the braid, trim off as much as you need, fluff it up, and glue it onto your face for theatrical facial hair. I've never used it, but I put it on one of my students just an hour before their one-act competition and the judges were amazed at how great the beard looks…

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • High Price

Great for beard cosplay!

It's Brilliant! I use it for my Larry Johnson AU cosplay. This gives him the perfect beard and holds up well with quality alcohol gum. I unweave a small section and comb through it with a comb to get the rods the desired length.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Reliability

Overall they turned out fantastic. (I used Mehron's Clear Latex Glue

. I bought two of these, one for my husband and one for my son. We have beards on each of them. I've read many reviews that one is 12" Braid goes for up to 4 beards. I think it would only be true if it was. Very short beard. My husband had a very thick beard and we used every part. My sons were a bit shorter and we have about 3" left. Generally they turned out fantastic. (I used Mehron's clear latex glue. It worked fantastic and we were able to use them again on the second day by simply…

Pros
  • Gorgeous Design
Cons
  • Wrinkled Packaging

Must have for FX Artists

Perfect as Always When you know what you're doing. This type of hair is not similar to humans. As long as you know this type or have used it in the past, you don't have to worry. This is the highest quality. Layers are also ideal for eyebrows. And you can use different glues.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Good Mostly, But...

Did exactly what we wanted

Not sure what others use this for, but we use it to create facial hair. It worked great for our cosplays. It takes a bit of work with it (e.g. using a flat iron to straighten it to make the beard look smoother), but once you get the hang of it, it works great. A pack that I think is about 12 inches tall was enough to give us 4 full beards for now. And we still have enough, maybe one or two more. You don't have to use as much as you think. But of course it depends on what kind of beard you make!

Pros
  • Pleasing
Cons
  • Legacy

Buy 2 if you have never done this

So all I can say is that it works. But damn if I hadn't taken almost everything to the last part of the first one to get it right. WATCH a little YouTube before trying. I'm an amateur at this, take my words of wisdom, buy two. Nothing sucks more than spending three hours in the bath and not having a mustache.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • ---

It's ok Hair extensions, wigs and accessories

So I'm not used to working with hair that breaks easily and because it's breaded it has that wave but it's ok if you want short hair. I was a werewolf so I needed long and straight hair so I ended up using my own hair.

Pros
  • Some competitors
Cons
  • are unreliable

Amazing to create fake beards!

This was my first experience with crepe hair and now I love it! I wanted to do Dumbledore's cosplay makeup but I wanted it to be really realistic with a real beard so I did a little research and found out about crepe hair! I ordered it in white and it turned out fantastic for my Dumbledore. It's recommended to wet and straighten the hair before tearing it apart, but I wanted my beard to be more textured so I skipped that step and started tearing it up right away! A little goes a long way. I…

Pros
  • So far so good
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
