I bought this based on reviews. Everyone seemed to love it, so I gave it a try.I added photos of my hair without extensions (shoulder length), my hair with them in, right out of the box (no styling) and after my hairdresser helped me put them in properly with some curl. Easy to put in? Yes, if you have the right hair. Mine is very straight, baby fine, and thin. I thought this might be nice to add length and volume.This 12" piece felt like it didn't fit right when I put it in myself. In fact, it might look OK in the photo, but the band and clips were showing most of the way around. I had a hard time hiding them. I asked for my hairdresser's help and she did a much better job. In fact, she added some bobby pins to help hold it in place and told me never to wear this if its even slightly windy. (or wear a hat!) She had to tease my hair underneath a lot just to get the clips to stay in. Then she had to pull quite a bit of my hair over it to hide the piece, which didn't leave much for it to hang onto. However, with some work, she got it to stay. When I got home, though, sections were exposed again. Wearing this makes me a bit self-conscious about that!BUT... the color was spot on, it was lightweight, and easy to use (IF you know what you're doing). Because it's real human hair, it looks and feels natural and it's a very good price. I do recommend it, but if you have thin hair like me, know that it'll take some work and isn't as easy as 1-2-3!
