Default How different is Unique Hair from Slinky Fibre?

I have Slinky Fibre. I have the thicker, stiffer Super Hair (versus Unique Hair). But I don't have any Unique Hair. I want to tie some long sandeel patterns and I'm concerned the Slinky Fibre will be much limper than the called-for Unique Hair.

Hi Steve.

Have just put the 3 side by side , and I would say that if you , say , give the Super Hair 10/10 for stiffness , the Unique would be about 8/10 , Slinky (H20) would be around 6/10.
The "kink" in the Slinky is larger/more open than the other 2 , and the fibre is very slightly finer , making it easier to flex if you see what I mean.

Hope this helps!

Jeff
