Brought some cheap extensions off Amazon, don't wear them usually but sick of my fine hair that doesn't grow ! I went for ash blonde, I don't think the match is bad to be honest , opinions please?

I don't know very much anything about extensions but I have no idea which is the extension and which is your hair so I guess that's your answer.

There is one bit on the first pic by your face that is a bit glaring but could prob mix in-again I don't know if it is your hair or not!!

My actual hair is just underneath my shoulders.
Thank you for your reply !
I literally just clipped them in and haven't bothered to blend them as you can tell lol

I know nothing about extensions but I can't tell what's your hair and what's extensions. So, from a naive viewer, yes, they most definitely seem to match.

I can tell, as your hair is lighter. But I don't think I would notice if your hair was in a pony.

Thank you! Yes my hair is abit lighter, im going to use my toning shampoo later which should help it blend abit better

Yeah I think once it's styled the same it will blend more as it does make sense that the top layer is slighter lighter rather than the other way around. As your hair just looks sunkissed!

So this is this morning, hair washed and styled so looks a little less of a birds nest.

What do people think, can I get away with these extensions ?

I think they look lovely! Also know nothing about extensions but to my untrained eye it all blends in really well 😊

Summer2424 · 14/07/2023 11:20

Hi @sweatybettii the pics you just posted look amazing, it doesn't look like you have extensions.
You've inspired me to give it go too! Xx

ForeverYellow · 14/07/2023 11:21

Looks beautiful to me . I k ow nothing at all about extensions, but I wouldn’t guess you had them .

memyselfi · 14/07/2023 11:22

100% , I don't know how you could get a closer match , they are lovely .

Thank you everyone I was nervous to post the pics as some people can be vile on here but at the same time I needed opinions, dh will agree with anything really !

I'm so surprised that the colour matches so well, I really was expecting to have to send them back. I haven't had my hair done since January so all the roots are my natural colour coming through

They just look like your own hair!

FromNowOn23 · 14/07/2023 11:33

It looks fab! Where do you clip the extensions, how many did you use and how long do they last? If it’s straight forward I would give it a go based on your photos!

ChasingMusic · 14/07/2023 11:36

Looks fab.

They're just synthetic so I'm not expecting long out of them, a few months probably, but for £20 I don't mind at all!
I only popped two in just to see if they blend well enough, one either side of my head above my ears. The set came with 5 wefts I think. I would need another at the back and that would do it they're really quite thick !
