Milk & Blush Quad Weft

Isn’t it just a dream when you find the product you have been looking for, in for what feels like forever? There aren’t many things that make me happier than having thick and healthy hair, which in the past, my hair has sometimes struggled with. I’ve been pretty brutal on my hair in the past... Lots of bleach, glue in extensions (WHY), back combing and lots of heat from straighteners and curlers. Basically, my hair isn’t what it once was. My mum was always telling me how I shouldn’t have damaged my hair so much as it used to be so thick and healthy. But me being me, never listened and here we are today…

I’ve always loved wearing extensions which initially was to increase the length of my hair. I had a massive chop when I was at uni when the gradual bob was all the rage, which you would think would make my hair really healthy again, however as I was still throwing a load of bleach on it, it wasn’t really improving the condition of my hair and it wasn’t growing either. I eventually decided to go back to my natural dark roots and added extensions back in again. I have always worn clip in extensions as I like being able to take my extensions in and out when I please. I don’t really like sleeping in them so I definitely know that this is the option for me when it comes to the best extensions for my hair.

I have tried numerous types/brands of extensions and some have been awful, some have been average and very few have been amazing. At this point I think I wanted both thickness and length to help my hair so I was using full head packs of extensions until my hair was at a length I was happy with. I decided to make a conscious effort to look after my hair to get it back to a state that was close to what it once was and with less heat and hair oil (I swear by these rules), my hair actually got back to a good length and much better condition. However, my hair is still growing from neglect from clip in extensions which were too heavy on my hair and pulled my hair out which basically pulled out a huge chunk of my hair at the bottom of my head (I know, I’m an idiot). I then decided to stop putting in as many extensions and as the length was where I wanted it, I was now just wanting the extra bit of thickness, especially for nights out and when I wanted to get glammed up.

This is where I found Milk & Blush (formerly DTY Looks) for amazing extensions. I have bought extensions from this brand a few times now and the quality of hair is brilliant (100% Remy Human Hair) and I absolutely swear by it now. I always use the Milk & Blush quad extensions in the longest length, 20-22 inches. The quad weft is made up of four lines of extensions but as they are all on one set of clips you escape the heavy pulling on your hair and still get the desired volume and thickness. I put mine just across my head usually in line with my ears and instantly feel such a difference in the thickness of my hair. The extensions blend really well too as they are a similar length to my natural hair, which is great. Not only am I always super impressed with the quality of the hair, the packaging is pretty too. The hair comes in a fully sealed pouch and kept tangle free in a hair net. Milk & Blush also provide you with a very helpful care guide for all the hair products they sell, giving you lots of tips and advice of how to care and maintain your extensions. 

I've also found that the team at Milk & Blush are extremely helpful and offer a great customer service. When I was buying my first pack of hair from Milk & Blush, I was emailing the customer service team who advised me on what colour would be best for me to get as it's sometimes quite hard to see when buying online. I sent a few pictures of my hair across and I was matched with the perfect colour! Just what you want really. This hair really is just the dreamiest hair and I would highly recommend them to anyone! I've linked below my quad extensions if you are looking for some extra volume in your life. They also offer a lot more than just quad extensions so if you are after a full head, an ombré kit (yes how amazing!) or even just a hair piece, make sure you check them out!

Cliphair Extensions | Long Hurrr ♥

Hellooo,

So just before Christmas I was lucky enough to win a brand new set of extensions thanks to the Clip hair extensions twitter comp! I had recently started following them a month or so before as I am an avid lover of hair extensions and whenever my old ones need replacing I like trying out different brands to see which ones I prefer. I had the opportunity to choose my colour and soon after I had a lovely package waiting for me beholding a full set of hair extensions! I wanted to wear my new extensions for a few months or so before posting about them so I could let you all know the quality of the hair and my opinion on them after trying them out for a bit.

How often I wear/style my extensions 

I love wearing my extensions and I have done since about year 10 when I was so excited to get my first set. I wear my extensions on and off for daytime, depending if I'm feeling my hair without them or not and I will always wear them for a night out unless I am wearing an up do and don't need them.
I tend to wear my hair with big curls or wavy if I am going out so this means using heat on my extensions. I have been out a couple of times with my clip hair extensions and curled them or used heated rollers on them every time. However, I do not put any heat on them if I am wearing them in the day and simply brush the curls out into a loose wave for a natural look. I can honestly say that they are in just as good condition as they were when I bought them! Amazing!

The thickness of my extensions 

My hair is pretty thick and usually an average pack of extensions just doesn't cut it :( = big spends for me! I had a feeling that the Clip Hair extensions would not be enough for my hair so fortunately I had some extensions that were the same colour and that I hadn't worn very much that blended in perfectly! Winner. I think the single weft extensions are fine if you have normal thickness hair but if you have quite thick hair the double weft may be a better option as you get 30% more hair :).

Colour matching my extensions

I originally had hair extensions from Foxylocks. I still do love these extensions but as I was dying my hair that little bit darker they were a bit too light. As I was lucky enough to win the Clip Hair extensions, I got a darker shade to match my natural hair and they have LOTS of colours and different shades to choose from which in comparison to Foxylocks is so much better if you are after the perfect colour. They also have a wide range of different lengths which is perfect if you are after a specific length rather than just two set lengths to choose from.

I do really love my Clip Hair extensions and think they are an amazing place to start to get the right colour, thickness and length for a reasonable price starting from about £44.99. You also get free delivery which is another bonus! You can find their website HERE.

Clynol Glow Precious Oil

Hello! 

So I was very kindly given the new Clynol Glow Precious Oil* to try out on my locks. I am a massive fan of hair oils as I feel that they are the best remedy for maintaining those split and broken ends and have helped my hair grow massively.I would also say that Clynol is one of my favourite brands when it comes to hair care as I feel by paying that extra bit more I get an excellent quality product that really sorts my hair out.

"Clynol has created a truly miraculous product with an exotic blend of concentrated natural oils that act together to rapidly repair damage, revive shine, restore body, and smooth all hair types" Clynol.

I have tried a couple of different oils including an oil from the Clynol Keratin Sleek collection which I really liked, so I was pretty excited to try another. Firstly, I think the packaging and bottle look very impressive - simple yet effective and reflect the product and its name. 

So the first steps of using this oil is to apply to dry hair and leave for 5 mins - I usually just whack it on my ends after towel drying so maybe this is something I should do in future! I then just shampooed and conditioned my hair as usual and it is optional to then put more oil on towel-dried hair, which I did do, as I wanted to see the full effects of the oil. 

The oil smells lush and is really easy to use with the bottle pump function, which is a massive plus. I obviously only applied the oil to the ends of my hair to avoid a greasy look and I was really impressed with the results! I have been using this for a month now as I wanted to review the product after using over a period of time to see the full effects and the change of the condition of my hair. My ends are in really good condition and I love the smell and feel of my hair after washing! Definitely a thumbs up for this product :) You can try out this hair oil HERE for £11.50 which is pretty reasonable for most good hair oils in my opinion!

OSiS | Rough Rubber

Hello Ladies,

I have tried to create a boho winter look using the Schwarzkoph OSiS+ Rough Rubber Texture Paste. I love a boho look, but I always associate it with the summer months and I want something I can wear with all the gorgeous rustic and khaki coloured chunky knits and dipped hemmed shirts I've been seeing!

To create this look I have used everything in the top image. It's such a simple look to create and doesn't take too long with it being a 'messy' style - it's not meant to look perfect!

Firstly, my hair is naturally curly and even after a straight blow dry it manages to kink itself back into some sort of wave as you can see in the third picture! This can sometimes be annoying but in this case it was doing what I wanted (for once!). If you don't have this type of hair I would suggest plaiting your hair, either from wet or dry and applying extra heat with a hairdryer on the plaits. However, if you are looking for instant waves, you can use your straighteners by sectioning off pieces of hair and running them down the hair making an 'up and down' movement which creates an instant wave in the hair.

I then used my back comb to back comb the root of my hair all over the top and crown to create extra volume, I haven't used hairspray this time but I would advise it to keep your hair intact for a long time and maintaining the volume!  Next up I used the Schwarzkoph OSiS Rough Rubber Texture Paste by applying a pound sized blob on one of my hands, rubbing my hands together then scrunching my hair all over. I must say, it smelt absolutely delicious- so fruity!It keeps those waves in place and makes your hair smell super yummy - bonus!

I then made a messy plait across my hair line. It literally is a case of just pulling bits of hair in and not doing it to perfection! I then just clipped this underneath the side of my hair with a hair pin. Simples!

Then of course adding some feathers...I love this feather clip I picked up in Topshop. All the gorgeous coloured feathers work great in Winter or Summer in my opinion! I just clipped this underneath the plait and voilaa :) 

How do you create your messy hair look? 

Long Hair Dont Care

Hello Dolls,

I have been super busy recently trying to juggle my life as per, but I did have time to go and get myself a new do as I was in desperate need for a hair make over! Despite living in Manchester I am always heading back to my small home town to get my hair done. I just don't trust any other hair dresser! Anyone else like this? She always does what I want and I trust her 100% with my hair - I have had numerous hairdresser disasters in the past!

I decided I wanted new hair extensions - a chocolate brown colour and a new style. I searched around for the best hair extensions for me, and opted for the beloved and raved about 'FoxyLocks' extensions. I have read numerous good reviews on these particular extensions so I decided that I would give them a try. I went for the 160g 'deluxe' 20 inch clip in extensions in 'Chestnut brown' which worked out at £74.00 and with P&P £76.99 - which I think is really reasonable. You can get these HERE.

The extensions came in pretty pink packaging which is enough to get any girl excited! However, when I opened them, I'm not going to lie, I was a little worried I hadn't ordered enough. I have pretty thick hair and I had opted for the deluxe as even though I had heard the 120g was more than enough, I wanted to play it safe. I was so glad I did! I decided to add a few of my other old extensions for extra thickness and it seemed to do the job. I would definitely recommend getting the deluxe if you have thick hair.

Loving life, I went straight to my hairdressers eager to get my hair upgraded! I wanted my colour slightly darker and the Cheryl style hair cut as seen in the video for 'Call my name'.

I have took a few snaps of my new hair - sorry if you have already seen them on Instagram!! But I think she did a pretty good job, huh?!

Anyone else got new hair recently?

Peace & Love
