Hair extensions

Has anybody had good quality ones?
In the past I did get cheaper ones and didn't look after them properly so never lasted more than 1-2 months.

However I got some last Monday when salons opened, I paid £400. It's Russian hair apparently, the salon and hair have both excellent reviews and hair is supposed to last up to a year with the correct care.

I have bought (expensive) shampoo and conditioner designed for extensions, an argon oil leave in treatment, I always plait them before bed, never used heat on them, brush 2-3 times a day only with a wide tooth comb and usually wear it in a low ponytail or plaits.
Yet only 8 days later it's already drier and slightly knottier than it was when i had it fitted. Can't see it lasting a few months, let alone a year even though I'm taking very good care of it.
Has anybody had extensions that have lasted a long time? It's frustrating and wish I hadn't paid all that money.

Only wash it twice a week too as recommended.
