The color was not exactly what I was thinking, but it worked out. The length is slightly shorter than I thought, but I'm pleased. I used 5 packs, but I like mine SUPER full, so I'd definitely purchase 6 packs in the future. Easy to maintain. A little mousse, shake, and go. Hasn't tangled easily as of yet, so we'll see. It has only been in about 2 weeks, we'll see after about 5 weeks
