I do wig styling and got these to use to make big drill ponytails, so I was not using them for braiding. They seem alright quality. A bit thin and the fibers are a bit textured for more volume, but more like lightly crimped. They did unfortunately get creased in the packaging and because they're held together in the middle with a rubber band. I tried to undo it on a small section of the wig, since I didn't know how it would hold up to any heat styling, and it melted almost instantly. Definitely See full review
