This hair is beautiful right out the box. I installed myself, not a professional beautician but it's still beautiful! The BONUS is the clasp on elastic band! NO SEWING! I was over the top excited about this and they still include the separate elastic for you to add if you want a tighter fit. I'm very satisfied with this unit. I got the 20" body wave frontal. I was not paid to make this comment. I'm truly satisfied. I also purchased my unit. Ordered last Tuesday and received it that same week Friday morning! I LUV ME SOME LUV ME! (And all the other free goodies I received)
