Review (3/5): Great for an event. Not for everyday
I have been wearing extensions for about 10 years. When I first wore them, I dabbled. Wearing them on occasion. But, now I am a daily wearer. I've used clip in, glue in and tape in. I prefer the clip so I can take them out when washing my hair and sleeping. I have fine, thin hair about shoulder length. I usually wear Euronext brand from Sally Beauty. I thought I would try these because they have the double weft and were less expensive for more length. I purchased the 18". The first couple of wears, I loved them. They were a pretty color and I liked the longer length. However, the double weft didn't really add more thickness to the middle or ends of the hair - just made the clip area thicker - and heavier. The middle and ends of the hair had just as much hair as my Euronext single weft. After about three weeks of daily wear they started to tangle badly. So much so that after about 5 minutes of wearing, there was a mass of ratted hair around my neck - just from normal head movements. I can usually get about a year out of my Euronext sets. I care for my extensions well. I wash them and use product as I would my natural hair. I take them out every night so they don't get tangled or damaged during sleep. I have never had this problem with extensions in the past. The protective coating on these must not be as durable as other brands I've used. The extensions would not stay smooth - curled or straightened hair styles did not matter. No amount of conditioning or smoothing product helped. I was having to brush them out every 15 minutes. I eventually had to toss them. I'm giving them 3 stars because these would be great for a special event or for occasional wear. These are not meant for everyday use. I went back to Euronext.
