I have finally purchased some 18 inch hair extensions!
Hair Extensions have always been one of those things I thought looked really fake and tacky and I have been deliberating on whether to buy or not to buy as I do already have long thick hair and thought it would be a waste of money. I really wanted just another maybe 2 inches of length and more volume and fullness.
I have been looking into extensions for a while and the prices have ranged from £40.00-£60.00, that is for real hair.
However I decided that I did not really want real hair as I find the thought of wearing someone else's hair a bit weird!
A while back I came across the Babyliss Synthetic Extensions that retail at £30.00 in Boots but I was convinced I would not be able to get the right colour and they would not look like real hair.
Last week I was feeling a bit down and decided I may as well take a look at them. In Boots they had tester pieces on display so you can try to match the colour to your hair, I was sceptical, I did not think I could get a good match but was pleasantly surprised that the Light Brunette matched really well. Me being a cheapskate though I really did not want to spend that much on them.
So I had a thought why not look on Ebay! I found someone just so happened to be selling the Light Brunette colour brand new in the box for a bargainous £9.99 with £2.00 postage! I purchased immediately and they arrived yesterday.
I have to say I love them so much. They match my hair colour really well but they are soooo long, I had to trim about an inch and a half off them as the original length made them look a bit fake. After being trimmed I think they look perfect and quite realistic.
Here is my hair normally without extensions.
This is my hair with the extensions
What do you think? I am wondering if they are still a tad too long or not but I do love this length.
Trouble is I wantto wear them all the time but I am going to try to leep them for just weekends and special days/nights out as I don't want them to get ruined.
I am so glad I looked on Ebay and saved myself a bit of money.
Today I went shopping and bought a few new clothes I shall being doing a haul post soon.

Love the length, so glam. I have had bonded hair extensions in a few times and they are so heavy(and not good for your hair) I now wear clip ins to add a bit of length and volume and love how they look and are much cheaper than a full set of the bonded type.
ReplyDeleteGreat bargain you got, its always worth checking ebay!

Fashion, Well Done
For you question about the extensions, I don't usually wear them for more than 5 hours at a time, and try not to put them in too night so they don't pull at your hair :)

They look great. I think extensions can look really good. And it's always nice to have fuller and longer hair.
ReplyDeleteThey look fab hun. I think its nice to be able to create a completely different look for when you are going out or just fancy a change. My eldest uses her loads.
