My daughter is unicorn crazy! As soon as I saw this pillow, I knew that I had to buy it for her. When it arrived, she was so excited! The pillow is very soft and squishy, so the hair is attached very well! My daughter has been playing with it for a week and none has fallen out. It is machine washable! My daughter accidently spilled soda on the pillow, so I threw it in the washer. It came out looking just as new as when I put it in. However, I would recommend air drying because I would be afraid that the heat from the dryer would damage the pillow.
