Dirty Looks hair extensions

My hair is shoulder length and I love having shorter hair, however sometimes it's nice to have long hair that I can style more. When I was younger I owned some hair extensions but I got rid of them when I had ombre hair, as they didn't match anymore!

A couple of weeks ago Dirty Looks sent me some extensions to review and I was so excited to try them. I chose the HK full head hair extensions* in 16"-18". My hair is extremely thick and in the past I have struggled to find extensions that are thick enough to blend in. These ones are lovely and thick though, plus they come with a quad weft which is amazing. Without the quad weft, they definitely would not be thick enough for my hair!

They are made with Remy human hair, so can be styled just as you would style your normal hair. I like making them wavy as I find they blend in slightly better.

 

Dirty Looks were great at choosing the right colour for me. I sent a couple of photos of myself in natural daylight and they quickly responded matching me to the shade Espresso.

Once you break the seal on the packaging of hair extensions, you cannot return them. I think it is brilliant that these ones come with a separate little pouch with one extension in, which you can take out and check the colour/length, without having to break the seal. I took this into my dad to check the colour matched my hair and he couldn't believe how perfect the match was!

The hair extensions come in two little nets to keep them all together and protected. They also come with three spare clips which I am very impressed with!

I am extremely pleased with these hair extensions as they are lovely and thick, the colour is perfect and they blend in nicely.

I want to change my hair colour!

Hello! So today's post is going to just be a chatty one and I would love some advice please!

My hair is naturally a medium brown. A few months ago I dyed it a mahogany sort of colour and there is still quite a lot of red in it when I am in the light. I am trying to get rid of this but I know red is quite a hard colour to get rid of in the hair! I have been going to the hairdressers and they have been trying to get rid of some of the red but it's really not working and if anything is getting more red! (What!)

I love the Ombre hair trend but I don't know if it's a bit done now? I am considering getting a couple of subtle highlights in my hair but because it's a reddy colour then I would be worried they would go brassy. I love hair that has highlights throughout it and then the highlights get more at the bottom so it gives an Ombre effect but it's a lot more subtle and natural.

I had my hair highlighted all over a couple of years ago so I was basically blonde and it did damage my hair so I wouldn't want to go that far again. Also, I loved it in some lights but in others it wasn't a nice blonde.

I also really want to buy some hair extensions and I am looking at the Foxy locks ones! I obviously want to decide what I am doing with my hair colour before I buy them though because I don't really want to have to dye them! If you have any recommendations for hair extensions then please let me know as well!

I love changing my hair colour but I don't want to go for anything too crazy! So if you guys have any suggestions, have Ombre hair yourself, highlights or any advice then please let me know!
