I got one of these with brown hair for my mom as a gag gift. She had lost her hair through cancer treatments so she was wearing either a professional wig or one of many 'pretty' skull caps. She wore this and said it was much more comfortable than anything else she was using to cover her baldness so I bought her a few more in different colors. What's fun about this silver one is that the fibers at the end are light enough to color.  I used a pink highlighter all over it and it looks awesome -- shiny fluorescent pink!  The hair fibers do shed a little bit, but not terribly bad.
