Euronext Premium Remy Clip-in Human Hair Extensions - THOUGHTS and DEMO...

Euronext Premium Remy Clip-in Human Hair Extensions 
THOUGHTS and DEMO...


Euronext Premium Remy Clip-in Human Hair Extensions are virtually undetectable affordable, lightweight and easy to attach to your hair. Use all the pieces for added overall length or a few pieces to add volume or highlights.

 -  Created to blend with anyone's hair color
 -  100% Premium Remy Human Hair
    Euronext Remy Clip-in Human Hair Extensions are made of Premium Remy Hair that is of the highest grade human hair extensions available. Extra attention and care is exercised during the entire manufacturing process.


    This attention during manufacturing promotes alignment of the hair cuticles, which greatly reduces tangles and mimics natural hair flow. Premium Remy Hair ensures a better human hair extension experience.

    Euronext Remy Clip-in 14-Inch Human Hair Extensions package contents include:s one 8" wide weft, one 7" wide weft, one 6" wide weft, one 5-3/4" wide weft, four 1-1/2" wide weft, two 1" wide wefts with no snap clips attached (for color testing). 

    Heat Styling Tools: The use of heat tools (curling iron, flat iron, blow dryer) are not preferred or recommended. If you choose to use a heat tool, adjust setting to low to help keep the hair looking healthy. Using steam or dry rollers will ensure longer lasting extensions. Steam or dry rollers cause less stress to hair than heat tools.

    Hair Styling Products: Hair finishing and styling products should be used sparingly. Too much product will cause buildup on extensions. Products that contain UV protection may discolor hair extensions. 

    • Price: $99.99
    • With Beauty Club Card: $94.99





    The Euronext Premium Remy Clip-in Human Hair Extensions is priced at $99.99 and includes 8 different sized clip-on wefts and 2 bonus clip-less wefts. They are 100% premium remy human hair. I do not have much experience with hair extensions but I do know from shopping around that 100% quality human hair extensions can get quite costly and are priced upwards of $100. Also, many variety packs that carry 6-8 wefts can cost above $200. So all in all, with Sally Beauty Club discounts and coupons, I think these are quite reasonably priced and a great value for money. Hair extensions are an investment and human hair is best so these were right up am alley.





    The Euronext Premium Remy Clip-in Human Hair Extensions are available online at Sally Beauty Supply website and in Sally Beauty Supply stores. 







    The Euronext Premium Remy Clip-in Human Hair Extensions come in a simple package which include:s one 8" wide weft, one 7" wide weft, one 6" wide weft, one 5-3/4" wide weft, four 1-1/2" wide weft, two 1" wide wefts with no snap clips attached (for color testing) and 2 bonus snap clips. There are 3 snap clips on each of the wider wefts and 1 on each 1-1/2" wide wefts.

     




    The Euronext Premium Remy Clip-in Human Hair Extensions are my first experience with hair extensions and I was impressed by the ease of use and the quality of the hair.

    Firstly, the extensions feel very natural and are not shiny or slippery like synthetic hair can feel. The color and flow of the hair blends perfectly with my own with showing any difference in texture. This is a definite bonus. I don't want anyone to be able to "tell" that it's not my real hair.

    The seam of the extensions where they clip into the hair are well done so as to blend in with the base of your hair. The snap clips are also well hidden beneath the seams to conceal any signs of the extensions.

    The snap clips are easily opened and snapped into place without much effort but be sure to practice with them. They hold very very well to your own hair without slipping or ripping at your natural hair. You do not need to "tease" your hair to provide additional "grip" for the snap-clips. I only wish they would make the snap-clips the same color as the hair to conceal them even more. They don't show at all when you wear the extensions but I suppose it would be a bonus.
    There are 3 snap clips on each of the wider wefts and 1 on each 1-1/2" wide wefts. I think the 3 snap-clips are ingenious because some extensions I have seen come with only two snap-clips at each end which leaves the center sagging. Having 3 is perfect for securing the entire weft in place without sagging or bulging.

    I haven't had any major issues with hair shedding although a few strands do come out if handled rigorously. The care is also very easy - wash and condition just like your natural hair. They detangle very easily as well without damaging the seams.

    Since these are human hair you can also heat and color style them as you wish. I would suggest a low heat setting and heat protectant products to avoid damage but I have had no burning using my flat iron on the highest heat setting.

    They wear comfortably and look great for hours on end. I do however, feel some sensitivity on scalp after wearing these for a few hours (5-6 hours). I think this is due to the weight of the hair and the snap-clips. Be mindful of this if you have a sensitive scalp like I do. 
    These are not the thickest extensions on the market so you may need 2 packs for extra volume but that is a personal choice. I have 2 and I only use about 11 pieces altogether for a full look. They are available in different colors and 14" or 18", straight or wavy. If you color your hair just go ahead and grab the blond version and color them to match your own hair color.






    Overall I highly recommend these! if you have been curious of the extensions I have been wearing these are them and I love them. They are an investment so they are not the cheapest things out there. But for quality human hair I say these are great!

    Have you tried hair extensions? What is your take? Recommendations?

    The Instyler Quick Review

    The Instyler Quick Review

    Yep! I broke down and got the Instyler!

    Many of you have probably seen the infomercials about the Instyler Rotating Hot Iron Hair Styler. I decided after much debate to get my hands on it during their $14.99 30-day Trial Offer. So if I didn't like it I wouldn't lose too much. 

    Well well well....after my look of the day today, many of you guys commented on my hair. So I decided to do a quick review of the device.

     
    Review:


    At first it was tricky to use. I had to figure out what angle to hold the iron and how slowly to pull it through my hair and how much hair to do at a time. I recommend watching the online videos at www.getinstyler.com before attacking your own hair.


    How did I use it? I washed my hair and conditioned it and let it air dry. I did NOT add any products to my hair because the website says to use on CLEAN hair. I made sure my hair was 95% air dry before using the iron. I used the highest heat setting and let the iron heat up for about a minute. I sectioned my hair in 3 inch sections and worked from back to front.


    Section by section, I detangled with my rat-tail comb through to the ends. I then used the rotating barrel to press and rub against my roots to get them straight. Then I clamped my hair between the barrel and the brush and slowly (SLOWLY) moved the iron through my hair down to the ends. I used the device with the barrel under the hair section and the brushes on top. Once my hair was between the two parts, I also slightly turned the iron so that the barrel was aiming up to get a nice curl. I did stay a little longer on the ends to make sure those were shiny and straight,


    I didn't use any shining drops and hairspray and taaddaaa! It looks shiny and healthy and bouncy with no additional hair product. So far I am very happy and my TRIAL will become permanent!
