Hello lovely bloggers,
A second post today! I thought i would put up a post about my hair.
I have very fine swedish hair, that doesn't grow past a certain point (it doesnt go further than my shoulders) so i have to wear extensions most of the time if i want fullness/length.
I've used A LOT of different types of extensions, from fusions to just regular clip ins, and i've actually done a full detailed post about those and my opinions on them here.
To give you an idea of my natural hair length, here is a photo with my extensions in:
As you can see, it's quite short. I know it looks a little scruffy/damaged here, but i assure you, its actually in great condition considering my constant hair colour changes.
Anyway, on to the extensions i use.
I used to wear the Crown and Glory quadruple weft extensions (ridiculously thick extensions) review here, but when i went to go repurchase another set, they were out of stock.
So i decided to go back to a brand i had used before and liked, Foxy locks extensions.
The set i use are the 'superior set in 215gm' in the colour 'imogen blonde'. The same amount as the set i bought from Crown and Glory, but they were a lot more expensive at £120!
I do, however, love them! The clips on the extensions are great and stay in place. I can literally swing my head around and the extensions would not even slip. They don't weigh my head down either like the Crown and Glory set did.
How i put them in:
I always make sure i have blow dried my natural hair with volumising spray, so my natural hair is nice and full.
Each set comes with wefts to place in.
In a set:
3 clip weft: x2
4 clip weft: x3
2 clip weft: x2
1 clip weft: x4
Working from the bottom, i use the 3 clip wefts first, followed by the 4 clip wefts on top of those. The two clip wefts are used for the sides (one on each side) and the 1 clip wefts are used anywhere on the head where you need more hair.
The creator of the extensions actually has her own youtube, and has SO many tutorials on how to do all different hairstyles using her extensions.
Here's her tutorial on how to clip them in:
How i make them blend:
I find that leaving the hair dead straight often doesn't blend well with your natural hair. So i will usually either use my heated rollers separately and let my extensions curl whilst i do my make up. Or, i'll put all the extensions in my head and then apply the rollers all over my head and proceed to do my make up.
This way, your hair and the extensions blend and make it appear as though its your own hair!
The rollers i use are the enrapture rollers.
Have you ever tried extensions?

I love the look of foxylocks extensions, I've wanted them for ages but scared they wouldn't blend with my hair. One day I'll get them, I'm sure.

Foxy Locks may have been more expensive but considering the pros, it seemed like a much better choice for you. That said, great tip on blending the extensions with your real hair! Do you cut your extensions to match your current hairstyle as well?
