"Dread" seller review; Elysee Star

This one might turn out pretty damned sarcastic as I'm sure everyone knows now how wanky their products are...

Don't believe me? Have a butchers at the wigs on their site; Seriously.

Most people end up getting their first ever synthetic "dreads" from them after finding the styles online and wanting that look right just now, but not having the know-how, connections or sense to look for a proper and reputable seller and dread maker.

As such, people end up with thin, and pretty crappy looking machine twisted dreads, they are not dreads really, just twisted hair.

I've had the misfortune of attempting to put these in both wigs and my own hair, and they don't look nice at all, far too shiny, there is also zilch volume to them and they are really squishy and bendy.

They are also kind of over-priced for what they are, they unravel very quickly and they are super thin, handmade dreads last longer, are a lot more durable and just look a whole lot nicer!

Elysee are not even good for a full head install, as you need between eight to twelve packs of them to get a full head, they still look damned thin, and at the price of £9.99 for only ten of the buggers you will end up paying between £79.92 - £119.98, for those prices you can get much better sets!

A typical eBay listing - they are just very "meh".

I would put your tenner to better use, like towards an accent kit from a reputable seller, whose dreads are handmade and beautiful! Or indeed, use your tenner as part of a payment plan, most dread sellers accept them!

I think I would only use Elysee if I wanted some little dreads for a one night only sort of thing, or to pick apart to use the hair for something else instead.
