The hair is beautiful. Straight out the box, I love the texture, the feel, and fullness of the bundles. Running my fingers through the bundles, I haven't experienced any shedding. Once I have them installed I'll be able to know more about how well it holds a curl, and how it reacts to the elements but I am confident it will preform great. This isn't my first order from Her Glam and it won't be my last.
