Advantages: Easy to put in and take out

Disadvantages: Slightly shinier than real hair, expensive

I have read a lot of mixed reviews about these Hair Do extensions.

I'll start with the negative things I've heard. A lot of people don't like the fact that you cannot style these with heat, it will ruin the hair - however, they are sold as either wavy or straight. I bought straight and they are poker straight, so no need to be straightened anymore.

Another comment a lot of people have made is that you cannot wear them all the time otherwise they get ratty. This is true. You can brush them to get them looking a bit better, but the truth is they are not intended for everyday use. If you want everyday use, then go and have them professionally put into your hair.

The colour matches are ok. But would not be ideal for anyone who has highlighted hair - they are one solid block of colour. They woul also not be suitable for anyone with a strange colour of hair, they work on only the very basic hair colours. The hair is very shiny, so some people might not like that, but if you add some shine serum to your own hair, it makes the match much better.

The extensions come as one single piece attached to a net type thing, that secures in several places by clips. This makes it incredibly easy to put in, and doesn't even leave a tell-tale line when you release your own hair over the top of it.

The price tag on these is pretty steep if you buy them from a normal salon or a lot of places online. I actually bought mine on eBay (brand new) for half the price, and I'm chuffed with it.

Different places will tell you different things about these extensions, but I believe they are synthetic. That's why they are shiny, not suitable for heat styling, and can get a tad frizzy if you wear them too much. However, I worry about the ethics surrounding purhcases made from real hair, which is why I opted for synthetic. But if you are going to want these for everyday use rather than saving for special occasions, then I would strongly suggest seeking professional advice about the best product for you.

Summary: Great product but not for everyday use
