More hair was needed for the install, but the crochet style stayed light through workouts

Hair: ISEE Burmese Curly crochet hair, 18-inch
Alicia started with four free sample packs of ISEE's 18-inch Burmese Curly crochet hair, then bought another four-pack set from Amazon when the samples did not fill out the style. The second order appeared thicker to her.
She paused the installation while waiting two days for it to arrive, then added more hair. She estimated about two hours of hands-on braiding and crochet work, separate from that wait.
Almost a week in, after boxing, two Pilates sessions and other activity, she liked the light feel and fullness. At a pool, only the nape got wet; she had not submerged the hair.
Some attachment strings showed near the part. She picked and fluffed the roots and cut or repositioned a few attachments to improve the finish.
She used water and a leave-in detangling spray once or twice, then wore a pineapple and satin covering at night. Her Olaplex wash routine was preparation for her own hair, not a wash test of the extensions.
She hoped to keep the style four or five weeks and wear it on a future beach trip, but neither had happened yet.
Wear: Almost one week, including workouts and limited pool-water contact.

Four ISEE packs were free TikTok Shop samples; Alicia bought the extra Amazon packs. Olaplex sponsored a separate part of the video.
