I like to use my extensions for as long as possible so that I don't have to buy new ones too soon. I try to avoid styling them with heated appliances as much as I can, but I REALLY love wavy and curly hair. So, I twist my extensions into three pieces or twist them all together over night!
I curl my real hair, run my fingers through it, flip my head down, then set my hair with hair spray. After that, I undo my extensions, run my fingers through them, and clip them in!
Pretty easy and fast process!
I use a 1-1/4" barrel which looks better when I twist all my extensions into one because it creates looser curls/waves. A smaller barrel would make better curls for when I twist my extensions into three pieces but I only have one barrel right now x]
In all these pictures I'm using Luxy Hair Extensions.
(I bought these on my own accord and this review is strictly on my own experiences.)
I used to use the extensions as Sally's Beauty supply. The only pros I have for those are that they were affordable and they're great for last minute hair style. Such as for a photo shoot or if you need a little extra length or thickness to your hair for an event.
When it comes to Luxies, they're pricier than the ones from Sally's but it's still affordable and long lasting considering they're hair extensions. They're soft, they're 20" long, they don't tangle very easily even after months of wear, the clips are already sewn in and they're comfortable, and it's a full set. They also offer two choices of sets. One for Fine to Medium Hair Types, 120g for $119.95, the other for Medium to Thich Hair Types, 160g for $139.95 and no shipping :]
They also have a good variety of natural colors to choose from. If you're uncertain of which one to pick, their FaceBook page is very friendly and they will offer suggestions of what to pick and what color you may need to dye them if it's slightly off.
The extensions come in one length so you'll have to get them cut if you want them to transition with your hair better. I keep the length because I like the style and look for myself but most people get their Luxies layered so it looks natural.
Below is Ash Blonde and Vibrant Auburn, both 160g because I like having LOTS of hair. The only problem is that I like to use the entire set and it flattens my hair. Oh wellz.
The packaging is very simple and it comes with a sample/tester in the smaller part of the package and two extra clips just in case :]
The blonde in the pictures is a nice lighter blonde but it's definitely not white, nor is it too yellow.
The auburn is beautiful in person. I got SO many compliments on it, but barely any photos I've ever taken does it any justice!
So, I definitely recommend these extensions!
Extensions are also great for people who want to grow out their hair and they're wearable for short hair that's at least 4 inches long. It keeps you from cutting your hair if you get those kind of urges or if you just like having thick, long, doll-like hair :]
