I bought these for a mix of headbands and head wraps while I grow out my hair and start locs. I chose the grey set so that they'd be pretty easy to use with a lot of the things that I wear and most of my casual shirts. They arrived quickly, and were individually wrapped in cellophane envelopes. There were no odd smells or anything, and the fabric is really soft and stretchy. They seem to retain shape really well, and they're comfortable and perfect for the purpose that I purchased them to fill. I'd definitely buy another set, or more.
