One of the packages looks like a brand I sometimes see in stores around here (for a sixth of the price), it tastes fine and has enough shelf life to survive the transit.

The same ali-shop has perfectly reasonably price astras for some reason?

And sometimes that category is something I really couldn't ever imagine buying on aliexpress.

It's not as weird as you might think. A lot of high end wigs are made with actual human hair, needing several heads worth of hair to make a single one.

And if you got long hair you wanna get rid of, you could look into selling it, or donating it to a place that makes wigs for people suffering from cancer.

Yeah, I know. I even donated hair once already. But it is not a product I would trust aliexpress with.

Does anyone have recommendations for a decent allround flashlight?

It sounds a bit banal, but we need one and there's a ton of good looking ones on Ali but I have no idea if they're any good. I kind of prefer battery-operated ones over ones with built in Li Ion batteries because of flexibility (are there ones that have built in battery chargers?). Other than that I don't really know.

It has been years since I bought this, so I can't link but I got an ok flashlight. It came with a self rechargable battery in that 18650 form factor with a micro-usb port and with an adapter to instead put in 3 AAA cells.

It does have a snap at the top to nominally keep it closed, and a bunch of (not closeable) pouches around the outside for sunglasses or your phone or whatever. Just hit it with a couple coats of Scotchgard first (always a good idea for fabric accessories).
