This piece has the most natural ash tones of blond, It is just like the hair I used to have. It is also very fine and silky hair. It feels like I have my old hair back when it falls across my skin, it is not coarse like most human hair wigs. Other reviewers have complained this type of hair tangles- but so does real super fine and silky hair, you just need to brush gradually from the bottom up. I have only two gripes: (1)The clips are super thick and stiff and would be noticeable for a ponytail or other sleek style. (2) This is a biggie: all of the hair, including the sides and the back of the topper, wants to fall forward, instead of down my back. I am stuck having to use barrettes or having hair in my face -and none on my back. Because it is synthetic, you can’t use heat to style it, so I am trying to figure out how to re-train it a bit. But wow, it is beautiful.
