Review (4/5): Nice, soft and well made
As a hairstylist, I am very critical of hair quality for the extensions I buy. Overall, I give these extensions a 4 out of 5. I ordered the 18" Brazilian body wave bundle to use to make my own halo hair extensions. The extensions arrived bundled up looking exactly like the picture, and wrapped in a hair net to keep them in place. Once I pulled the hair out of the net I ran my fingers through it and felt that it was very soft. Next, I unwrapped all the hair in the bundle and it did get a bit tangled up, but I was able to comb through it with my fingers to untangle it. They are definitely 100% human hair and can be styled with heat tools. I always wash extensions before I apply them to get rid of any residual residue from processing. So I washed these in warm water with conditioner only and allowed them to air dry. Once dry, the natural curl pattern was revealed and it is beautiful, a perfect body wave. The hair still feels very soft and manageable. I have not seen any shedding so far and the hair is sewn together very well. My only complaint is that the hair does get very thin towards the bottom of the length so I will be cutting about 2 inches off to make the ends look thicker to blend with my own thick hair. I recommend getting 2 or more bundles if you have thick hair because 1 bundle will not be enough. 1 bundle will work if you have thin hair or maybe medium thickness, but even for medium thickness you might need another 1/2 bundle to get enough fullness to blend. These extensions are sturdy enough to be sewn in, as well as being made into clip-ins. They do not come with clips, so if you intend to use them as clip-ins you need to purchase the clips separately and sew them on yourself. Overall, I do like this hair and so far I haven't had any real problems. They seem like they will last for a while. To extend and preserve the life of your extensions, only wash them when absolutely necessary. For clip-ins or halo extensions, you may not need to wash them but every few months because they don't get dirty like your own hair. Always use sulfate free shampoo and conditioner on your hair extensions, but I personally recommend only washing them with conditioner to keep them soft and manageable. Give these extensions a try!
