I super love this brand. I've been getting it when it used to be the Eon brand, then the name changed but the quality remained the same. It's considered by most of the braiders that I've come in contact with as a top tier level braiding hair. One of the absolute best. Most braiders are surprised I just don't get the Outre hair and keep pushing... But, no no no... This hair! It does cost more, BUT... IT IS WORTH IT IN MY strong opinion. It's strong, super soft, bouncy, shiny, the color is accurate. I get a 1b/27 mix. The braiders don't complain of the hair tangling up nor hurting their fingers. Just separate, lightly fluff to activate the hair for it to lay and curl correctly. Then BOOM. A solid hairstyle. I never have shedding. I have a medium size head so 2 bags a part of a third works for me, not half but half of a half. So, 2 and a quarter using a complete stand. My hair is full soft and bouncy! The only brand I use. PERIOD. The braids last for me anywhere from 2 full months to 3. They still look decent... Not fresh, but yes highly decent, I do wear a bonnet every night for sleep. I oil and mousse them sporadically... Honestly it's not necessary. Highly recommend... Always a repurchase.
