I hope you continue to enjoy this hair. below extract is customer review """This product worked pretty well for my permanent dread extensions. The color was just right and the hair is soft. The hair comes in little 8 inch pieces that can be pulled apart or used as is, I wish it had been longer. I only ordered one pack, because I did not know what to expect, and used it only to lengthen my dreads in the front (I only added the hair to the ends of my real dreads and not the whole lock) but if you want to do your whole head and the technique you are using you would need at least five packs. I used almost all of the hair (I lengthened about 15-20 of my locks in the front)."""  

• This hair does not take dye, it does not colour when you dye it. The company explains that it is due to the fact that it went through a lot of processing for them to achieve the perfect afro texture for dreads.
