These locks are not combed. Depending on your use you may want to hand comb, suggest using a flick carder. Start combing by tapping from the lock end. Hold the cut end when combing. Lock will become fluffy. Still holding cut end, dip into warm water with hair conditioner added. Squeeze out water, lay out to air dry. This method also works for those that require extremely clean hair.
Hand processed without harsh chemicals. You may find small pieces of vegetation &/or a light coating of natural oils still left on the fibers. Expect some color variation in shade.
Dyed shades, color indicated bt the name of the dye. Images are the actual fibers being offered.
Extra Long locks are not commonly available. The natural white locks are ready for hand-dyeing which with the process will remove most of the remaining oils and dirt. Depending on your purpose you may need to give it another hand wash. Hold the cut end and swish in a bowl of warm-hot soapy water (shampoo you use on your hair works) rinse and lay flat to dry. Approximate length -8 inches.
