So I have decided to get back into wearing hair extensions. A few months ago in around December time, I decided to take the plunge and ordered 22" #33 clip in hair from LUSH.
Just for information sake, I used to wear extensions every day without fail (around 2 years ago.) I wouldn't even go to Tescos without clipping them in! woah right? My hair had got to an awkward stage of not growing at all and I hated my hair without wearing them .
I then got a bit sick of wearing them, they just started to irritate me and so I FORCED myself to not wear them. I just got used to wearing no extensions in the end. I also noticed how tacky hair can look when extensions are in and just didn't like the look.
So now after about a 2 year break and with longer natural hair what do I think?
This is when I have cut them and waved my hair to blend them in. I recently just died my hair so there is a slight colour difference :( But I really like how they look like they're my hair. (or my hair ombre with them in right now).
I bought the "normal" full head set, but wish I had gone for the Deluxe. This is because I think my hair is slightly too thick for these hair extensions and so I have to work hard to try and blend them in.
The colour match is perfect! I call my hair colour dark mahogany, which is like a slightly redder chocolate brown (not my natural hair colour of course). I paid about £70 for these, the thicker sets are around £100.
I have worn these extensions a couple of times and they still feel soft to touch, although I think they're due for a wash now.
I have tried a few brands throughout the years and these are defo my favorite so far. If I was to order again, I would order from Lush but the thicker version. I also purchased these with 2 day delivery or something (as I ordered these online) and they arrived perfectly on time, which was great because I needed them for an event..
So if someone was to ask if I recommend these I would say YES. But I do recommend going to an actual Lush shop to get colour matched by an assistant.
What's your fave extensions?

DeleteI think they look great on you! I've never tried the clip-ins before, but I've had glue-ins and sew-ins on occasion. I think I have to get a set of clip-ins one of these days!

It was just not a blog to read out its a guide to learn from superior and make up what works best.
ReplyDeleteAwesome thought presented. Indian remy hair extensions
Hair extensions have come a long way over the years. I agree that they used to look tacky, and were hard to match to one's hair back then. But the current ones are really nice, and some extensions are quite unnoticeable, especially if one makes an effort to really blend it in. Anyway, thanks for sharing this post with us, Laura. Have a great day!
