PLEA FOR HAIR EXTENSIONS

Gifted by nature with pretty low-maintenance locks who never received any special favors from me, I never considered changing anything into my appearance: the same two-inches-over-the-shoulders haircut I have since my first year of college, the same color I have since my toddlerhood – not even a drop of paint ever touched these fuss-free locks…Though I’m actually pleased with the way things stand – why going after time consuming haircuts that I’d probably end up disliking after no more than two glances in the mirror? – I would lie to state I don’t sometimes dream of a Red Carpet-worthy hairstyle. After all, I wouldn’t mind having longer, thicker hair than I was actually graced with; high-maintenance not included.

Searching for a way to make my wish come true, I found an option worth giving a chance: the clipped-in hair extensions. Made from 100 % natural Remy hair, the Irresistible Me hair extensions quickly became my go-to when in need for a look lifter. Why?

They’re easy to put in and take out: As a novice, it took me less than an hour to clip them in, without any help. A great option for those times when the phone rings two hours prior a party you wouldn’t skip for the world – who said last-minute invitations aren’t fun?

They’re low maintenance: Made from human hair, the extensions practically need the same care as our own hair: really easy to wash and dry, they can be styled in dozens of different ways without damaging over time.

They look natural: Choosing the right color, thickness and texture are essential when purchasing hair extensions. The longer the hair, the bigger the weight should be selected. For example: The thickness of the hair is related to both the weight and the length you choose: a 14 inch 200g  piece will look thicker than 24″ 200g, so always keep in mind the desired result. For example 14 inches of 200 grams and 24 inches of 200 grams will have the same weight but the 14 inches extensions will look super thick because of the length difference. Finding the right balance is the secret to a natural result.
