Soft highlighted curls, but saving the hair made takedown lengthy

Hair: Highlighted curly human hair crochet
AlwaysAmeera wore HOTBRAIDS highlighted curly hair for about three weeks, with individual braids at the front and crochet at the back. The description identifies a 20-inch, 245g bundle of 3A/3B curls with dark roots and honey highlights.
She found it soft, light and beautiful, even after workouts and a week without refreshing. The blonde pieces tangled more than the darker ones, especially at the nape; she later recalled nape matting beginning after three or four days.
She had refreshed twice with mousse and detangling, then used SheaMoisture coconut and hibiscus mousse, water and a Pattern shower brush before removal. Dryness and dandruff on her own scalp prompted her to take the style down.
The curls looked good again after refreshing, but her hope of a quick takedown did not work out. She started around 10:50 p.m.
and finished around 6 a.m., including breaks. Unbraiding the front while preserving every extension took most of the time; the back took about 20 minutes.
She reported saving all the extension pieces without breakage and bagged them for possible reuse. She had not reinstalled them.
The shedding shown after takedown was from detangling her own hair, not a measured amount of extension loss. She liked the hair but would prefer twists or help with removal next time.
Wear: About three weeks; completed removal, saved hair not yet reinstalled
