I got this to add some versatility to the ways I wear my hair. I was torn between red and copper, and went with red. It's a pretty good match. Slightly darker than my hair, but you can't tell it isn't my hair. I really like this item. It is very easy to use and adds some zest to a plain ponytail or a bun. I can think of several ways to creatively use it--and plan to! Definitely recommend.
