I was so happy to find a human hair messy bun hair tie, I’d only ever seen the synthetic ones before and they never looked good so I was so excited to find this & order it. It arrived quickly & I couldn’t open it fast enough…however, once opened I realized this was probably the worst smelling thing my nose has ever been subjected to. I cannot describe to you the level of stink it was. Honest to God, I have smelled a week old dead body that did not smell as bad as this! My husband joked that the hair came from the morgue or road kill. I washed it with my best smelling, most expensive professional shampoo & conditioner but the smell was still there. I washed it so many times that it quickly became a rats nest- completely unable to brush it out. If it didn’t stink so bad it might’ve been cute, I would say that they should probably make the hair length on it longer so that it can be tucked and Bobby-pinned down that way it doesn’t have those too short spikey pieces. I would also suggest for the brunette ones- to offer something blended shades of medium browns, perhaps levels 6 to 8 or even one that is a blend of level 6 & 7 since those are very common. I hate to give a bad review. The smell was over the top awful though. Couldn’t even return it bc I’d washed it until it looked like a dead rat.
