Diana says: "This was a DIY adventure combining black Jumbo Braid and red & purple Monofilament hair. They were done in by my friend (and I redid alot of them) using a method similar to what Hair Police use. There were braids, dread extensions and combinations of the two. They weren't put in very tight, and so after about a month, I took them out. It took about 5 hours to put in, but since my friend didn't really know what he was doing, I think it took longer than it needed, especially since he didn't even attempt to braid the shorter hair on my head. I think the hair cost me about $50 total, and that was all I paid. I still have most of the hair and would recommend it for temporary dread/braid (but longer lasting than falls), or to test run how you would be able to handle having professional braiding done."
