My hair is currently in the awkward, shoulder length, not a bob but not long hair stage, and as well as being a bugger to style, it just looks a bit strange. I’ve been on the hunt for a few weeks now for a set of hair extensions to add an inch or two to my hairs length, and add a bit of thickness too. I miss having long hair so much, and was desperate to have enough hair to have more styling options than up, or down. As luck would have it, around the same time the lovely ladies from Dirty Looks got in touch and offered to send me a set of extensions to try. Perfect timing right? I explained what I wanted and they suggested a full set of extensions, in 16-18″, they even colour matched me after I sent a few photos of my hair to them.
The extensions I received are the HK Full Head Hair extensions* in the shade Organic. The pack contains 10 Wefts of varying size and thickness, with all the clips already attached and ready to go. The kit comes with a little booklet showing how and where is best to apply the wefts (and if you lose the booklet, the diagram is also on the website), they’re all numbered for ease of use. The first time I wore them it took around ten minutes of fiddling with my hair to figure out where they needed to go, but now I can pop them in in under 5.
The extensions themselves are fantastic quality, they are made from natural human hair, they’re incredibly soft and glossy, they put the condition of my hair to shame! That being said, they still blend nicely with my natural hair, and the colour match is spot on. They’re thick from top to bottom, a lot of extensions I’ve had before have been thinner at the bottom which can make them look a little ratty.
Since these are 100% human hair, it’s safe to heat style them. I imagine that if you continually heat styled them they’d eventually need a trim, but otherwise they’re absolutely fine. I personally like to just curl the ends with a barrel curler, to add a little shape and dimension, I’ve never been one for pin straight hair!
They aren’t heavy when they’re in and I can wear them all day without feeling irritated by them which is a plus. I love that I have so many more options when styling my hair with these in, and have been trying out loads of different styles with these in!
Overall I’m really impressed with these extensions, the quality is excellent, delivery was super fast, and they look great! I do think that next time I’m at the hairdressers I may take these along and just get an inch or two cut off, for general day to day these are a little long for me, having had short hair for so long! They’ve definitely made me excited for when my hair is long again!
You can find these extensions on the Dirty Looks website!
