I've only installed faux locs twice and both times were these particular locs. So, suffice to say, I'm a novice. These are easy to install, and come with the hook tool. Mine do unravel, but I think that's user error. Comes with a lot of hair. I typically only use four bundles for my whole head. Lasts a while before becoming ratty, and again, this is probably due to user error. Definitely recommend.See full review
