Remy clip in hair extensions I got for a good price

All of my other sets of clip remy extensions were over $100.  One of my sets are kind of old and they're thin now, and so, I wanted new ones, but I did not want to spend 100 dollars, because I just recently bought brown chestnut extensions and they were pretty expensive too.


The longer the extensions are, the more expensive they are.  So, I was in search for 18" hair extensions that are remy, and less expensive, so I went on amazon, because the beauty supply store near me, only has expensive extensions.  So, on amazon, I saw these inexpensive extensions, and they got good reviews so, I bought them just to see if they were actually good, but I didn't think they were going to be.


 Well to my surprise I got these really really good Remy clip in hair extensions, they're really soft  and silky, it comes with 7 wefts, and they were only $26!  


I brushed them, and styled them to see if they would shed, and they actually didn't shed, now I have to see how long they will last, but I was so surprised that these were such good quality!  I'm so happy that I didn't spend another $100+ and  I think I'm going to buy more

Here's what they look like




Here is the link, if you want to be them from amazon too!

How to make highlights with hair extensions look natural

Okay, so this is a tutorial on how to make highlights using hair extensions, and making them look natural!

First of all, whether I want highlights or not, the way I make extensions look natural is by using different lengths of hair.  The longer length on the bottom to the middle, the shorter length starting at the middle to the top  (see my other post, about making hair extensions look natural).  

I have 18" in jet black, 18" in the color 1b, 14" in espresso, and 14" in light brown.  I use the light brown to make the highlights, and like I said in the other post, I start off with the longest at the bottom.  So, for example, I put all of the 18" jet black at the bottom and all of the 14" espresso at the top as usual, but I put the 14" light brown extensions between the jet black and the espresso extensions.  

This is what mine looks like 




You don't have to use 3 or, 4 different colors, but make sure you get the colors in the lengths, you want on the bottom, or the top.  Put the highlight extensions between your normal colored extensions, and don't forget to do the sides.

Blending hair extensions with short hair


These are my tips on blending hair extensions with short hair, and making them look natural:

Okay, so, clip in hair extensions, or any type of hair extensions can be really hard to blend with short hair.  Sometimes, when people wear extensions, there's an obvious cut off point where their hair ends, it looks really unnatural, and you can tell they're wearing extensions.  My first tip is to make sure the color matches your own hair, or, the color should be very close to your own hair. 

Also, one thing that I've found that works in making extensions look more natural, is mixing different lengths.  For example,  I would put 18" extensions at the nape, and up to the middle, and I put 14" at the middle, and to the top.  The reason I don't use 16" is because it's so close in length to 18", it doesn't give it the layered, natural look.

If you want, after you put all of your extensions in, you should brush your hair and the extensions together, and straighten them together.
