Hey everyone!
Sorry its been so long since I last blogged. But this time it's for a very special reason.
I was in the process of doing something with my hair and didn't want to post any photos until I had the finished results. Ever since I was little I always wanted blue hair. I could never find the right shade of blue I was looking for so it was put off for many many years. Until recently when I discovered the perfect turquoise color and figured "Hey why not? Lets go for MERMAID HAIR this summer!" but to do this I was definitely going to need extensions.
After spending literally DAYS searching for a reputable hair extension company, I came across Proextensions.com. They are are US based hair extension company that offers 100% Human Hair Extensions at reasonable prices. At first I was going to just go ahead and get some cheap ebay extensions but then I reminded myself. You get what you pay for. Especially with HAIR. So after further research on Pro Extensions I decided to go ahead and give them a try rather than getting cheap ones and having them possibly be Human Hair and Synthetic mixed.
The set I chose was 20" PRO CUTE series in the color #22 Golden Blonde.
On the package it might say it is 18" but I measured it myself and they are 20 inches long.
The set you will receive looks exactly like this.(Forgot to take my own photos)
1x 8 Inch
1x 7 Inch
2x 6 Inch
6X 1.5 Inch
2 Tester Pieces (no clips)
When I removed it from the package for the first time I could not stop running my fingers through the hair. It felt so soft and not TOO silky. Which is exactly what I wanted. The bundle was pretty thick which is good because I have very thin hair.
Bundle of Hair all together. Color is basically true to photo.
One of the wefts on its own. It is kinda thin on its own but when worn all together with the other wefts it really does add thickness.
1.5 inch strand on its own. I wanted to show you how long it is next to my knees and the tub of dye.
One of the other reasons why I choose the Pro Cute Series is because I know I would be dying the hair and wanted it to last longer.
So the dye took really well to the extensions which lets me know that these are infact 100% Human Hair. After rinsing the dye out and setting them out to air dry I noticed that the hair still felt really soft and smooth. The wefts dried pretty quickly and the hair became more light and fluffy like freshly washed hair. That gave it a bit more fullness as well. If you want them to go back to being completely straight like when you first received them. Just flat iron them with a slightly low heat. :)
This isn't...really the color of the hair. But I wanted to show a close up of the texture.
After dying the hair for the first time and wearing them for a couple hours I noticed the clips started to feel a bit loose. Once I took all the hair out I noticed the threads were coming loose. The top photo shows a close up of the loose clips, and the bottom photo shows basically just how many clips were coming undone after my first time of wearing them. In the end I reinforced ALL the clips to make sure this did not happen again.
They should definitely make sure the clips are sewn on securely! Its not really hard to reinforce the clips with more thread...but I shouldn't have had to.
The end results!
Hair in natural light.
Ignore Blah face I just got home from work.

I can't stress how much I love these extensions! I've worn them to work this past weekend and everyone has loved it. There has been little to no shedding which is something I was worried about. The length is perfect! I curled them a little bit with very low heat because I didn't want to damage them too much. The curls will not stay by doing this but it also wont cause too much heat damage.
Even though you can curl them, straighten them etc etc. You have to remember the more you do that, the more you are damaging them. So reduce the amount of heat you would use on your own hair. If you have a curling iron/wand that does not have adjustable heat settings and its stuck on a high heat like 410 degrees. I would not suggest on using that every time (or at all).
I could not really find any reviews of anyone dying their Pro Extensions Clips an unnatural color so I hope this helped anyone who was considering dying theirs.
Overall Pro Extensions receive 4/5 stars from me!

Got a reply from their lovely customer service representative.
Apparently the loose clips are not a common problem, but if you do happen to come
across a set where the clips were not sewn on correctly just let them know!
