Well they are in!!! I've gone from a layered shortish look to a straight look on my collar bone. They were a doddle for the girl to put in and are really easy to be taken out if need be. She looped the hair through sort of (not 100% sure) then she nipped it with pincer looking tool. To remove it's a simple case of nipping the end again and voila
I feel I look quite strange at the moment having never had long hair before (mine's really fine so did cause some problems with the length of some layers and the fineness) I've decided I look like a cross between my younger sister (who's hair's similar) and a drag queen

Hopefully I'll get used to it. Just waiting for others to see it & see what they think.................nervous of receiving hilarious laughter
