The hair color is a rich dark brown, without they grayish sheen you find in many dark colors. It also isn't so shiny, that it appears plasticy or hairspray-coated. Soft and touchable, a natural and classy look, perfect for your collection and sure to be worn again and again. This style is a triple pony hair extension, and is the tails only. You must purchase a base or bangs separately as it is meant to be worn with other pieces. The three pony tails are very long and sleek and tumble down elegantly. Very fun and funky.
