I read all the reviews before purchasing and watched the how-to video but when it arrived it still wasn't what I expected. It's not nearly as flattering on me as the picture. I tried it with a hijab scrunchie (volumizer) and without. I was on the fence whether to keep it. In the end I couldn't justify it for the price... I can wrap a regular rectangle jersey scarf (for half the price) and it looks better than using this. It got returned.
