I've always thought of buying Hollywood hair, but it looks too stringy. I purchased Total Hair. unfortunately, I have difficulty with that package as far as long hair and having it fall AROUND the shoulders and not THROUGH it. The mermaid hair is beautiful and almost exactly what I'm looking for (from the looks of it) but it almost looks like straw. Do you happen to know if there's a way to make it appear softer? If so, and I figure out how to use this cylinder technique... I'd buy both of your hair packages (hollywood hair and the furute mermaid one) just because you rock. So far Clothreyes is looking like the best bet in hair creation.
