Right out of the box, I loved this topper. The color is perfect, it looks natural, and the style is exactly what I was looking for. It is amazing for the first few uses, but as typical for a synthetic hair topper, the quality diminished quickly for someone who wears a topper every day - even with careful care. The ends start to frizz and already need a trim after wearing it less than a month. I am realizing I am not really saving money by buying synthetic hair. It just does not last very long.
