Review (5/5): Love these hair extensions! Worth every penny!!
Hi Everyone! I don't normally write reviews, but I relied heavily on other people's while I was shopping for these, so I thought I'd return the favor... admittedly this is my first time purchasing hair extensions, but I did a ton of research before I bought them, and these really seem to be worth the money. I got the Double Weft 8A Brazilian Hair 120g 7pcs Chocolate Brown to Dark Blonde Highlight at 22 inches. My hair is about 14 inches long and it's pretty thick. For this reason, I decided to come back and purchase a second set at 18 inches so that the difference in length between my natural hair and the extensions wouldn't be so obvious (with the extra set I'd be looking at about 4 inches between layers instead of a whopping 8 inches with just the one set, giving my hair a more layered look). In the pictures, however, I am only wearing the 22inch set. So as you can see, one set is just enough, but I really had to style and play with my hair to get it to blend. I have a feeling that if I left my hair and the extensions straight, that they would not have blended as well. and the missing volume at the bottom would probably be noticeable. If your hair is thinner or is already long, then this won't be an issue for you. I would keep in mind though, that even if you do need to buy two sets, it is still cheaper to do so on Amazon through Vario than it costs for most single sets found on other sites. For instance, two sets will get me 240g of hair for about $180, which is more hair for less money than the popular Luxy hair extension (which cost about $250 for 180g for a single 20inch set).
I meant to take a picture of the extensions right out of the package, but I forgot (sorry!) however, they turned up silky straight and I curled them myself. the pictures with the extensions in the drawers features the entire package of hair. I know it's hard to get a good idea of the actual color from all of my photos (as they look anywhere from brown to blond) but that is only because the lighting in my house is not natural. I tried taking photos in different lights (with a flash and without a flash), but sadly none of my pictures look accurate to real life. The extensions do, in fact, look just like the picture online. I wouldn't go by the model (although those pictures are close), but the pictures of the actual extensions themselves are spot on. I chose mine by finding a picture of myself inside, in lighting that really showed the color of my hair as it looks most often, and then I pulled up the online photo and put my photo next to it. I even tried holding strands of my hair up to the online photo (which actually helped).
OK, that pretty much sums it all up! Again, I am super happy with my purchase, and I hope this review helps anyone who is on the fence!!
