the length I purchased was 22inches and it was true to length. I never wear my hair black but honey when I tried it on I fell in love . The reviews are true this hair doesn't smell and is super soft. I've already received a few compliments and I just got it! The seller communicated with me from beginning to end. o let's not forget on top of all that i got my hair super early. For their price and quality this was above what I expected to receive. Thanks for giving me 5 star service! ladies here is your update its been a week and it's still soft. I washed it and the curls remained the same. I've received so many compliments from the first day I wore it until now. it does shed I'm not going to lie but not too much. I personally haven't had any issues with it tangling while wearing it or even when I washed it. I highly recommend this vendors product.
