Okay, so I'm really digging this trend as of right now. So I decided to get these because boutiques are selling them for $30.00 and these are $8.00, so like no brainer am I right?? I love them. I feel confident that they aren't going to break every time I put them in as the pearls are woven together. Ive worn them a couple times now and love them. Easiest way to cover up the desperate need to wash your hair, or make it look like you've actually tried.
