Pro Tips For Optimal Results Below.
I’m going to preface my review by telling you I am a professional hairdresser and I specialize in custom hair extensions.I got these for a client that didn’t want to spend the $500-$700 that the extensions I normally use cost. I installed them in her hair exactly a month ago to the date. She came in today for a maintenance appointment and now that it’s been a month of her wearing them I can give a very accurate review.First off, I read all the bad reviews before purchasing. There are a lot of issues in the bad reviews that could have been avoided or corrected with knowledge and experience. I will include some pro tips at the end of my review.Pros: the bonds (tape) hold amazingly well. I was very surprised today to see how well they have stayed. Usually a month in there a couple that have to be taken out and re-installed. I didn’t have to do that to any of them. With the exception of three of them they were still completely in tact and the three that weren’t had literally about half of a millimeter on the ends that had lifted. That was easily fixed. Most tape extensions have to be taken out and re-installed after six weeks due to the bonds loosing. I’m confident we can get two months out of these. There is a good possibility the bonds will still be fine in another month, but as the client’s hair grows the extensions get lower and lower until you can no longer hide the bonds. Also, they seem to hold up to heat well.Cons: The tape is starting to get a little flaky around the edges of the bonds and makes it look like she has dandruff. Also, I think they over exaggerated a bit on the weight. No way these are 100 grams at the top, let alone the bottom. They get more sparse the closer you get to the ends.Pro Tips:*ALWAYS use a Wet Brush (that specific brand, not something that looks the same) and make sure it is the same style as the photo. No vent brush or any other style. Disclaimer: I do not work for or have any affiliation with the Wet Brush company, I just know from experience what works.*when brushing your hair, don’t rake the bonds with the brush. Avoid that area as much as possible and when brushing down the hair shaft to the ends either press the bonds to your forehead with your hand to hold them or grab your hair in your hand (like a ponytail) and brush while holding it.* Never put oils or conditioner on the bonds. Make a ponytail with your hand and condition or put oil on that part only.* when installing, leave about 1 mm on each side of the bond so that when you sandwich them you have glue on glue on the ends. This helps to keep the bonds in tact longer.* Once a bond is installed, use a flat iron set to 400-410 degrees mash the bonds together for two seconds to heat the glue then press firmly to heat seal the bonds and to get the strongest bond possible. Do this as you install each bond. Don’t wait until the end and then go back to heat seal them then. If you give the bond about five seconds to cool off and then tug on it you will know right then if they are secure or not. If not, trouble shoot based on all the information I’ve provided.* Put paper thin sections of your hair between the bonds. In this situation, more isn’t better because if there is too much hair between the bonds they can’t stick together.* Install them in a brick lay pattern to avoid holes. I used two packs on my client. She has extremely thick, shoulder length hair. The thicker and shorter your hair is, the more you will need to blend properly.* At night, wrap your hair around your head, secure with Bobby pins and then tie a silk scarf securely around your head to hold your hair in place and protect it from rubbing and matting that happens from the pillow while you sleep.*The less you wash them, the longer they will last. Also, the extensions will dry out more than your natural hair because there is no opportunity for your natural oils to travel down the shaft like it does on your natural hair. Therefore, they will need extra deep conditioning and oil treatments. I suggest once a week.* When removing, get a squirt bottle and fill it with acetone (not polish remover with acetone, just pure acetone) saturate the bond and gently rub until you get a small separation then squirt some in the opening and rub again. Keep repeating until they are separated. The hair will still be stuck to the bonds, but the bonds will be separated. Then gently remove the hair one piece at a time from the bond. I suggest using a rat tail comb with a metal tail. Once the bonds are out, go back and get as much of the residual glue out of the hair with the acetone and a very fine tooth comb. After that shampoo at least twice with a clarifying shampoo.* When installing, you MUST make sure the top three inches of your hair have no conditioner, oil or hair products in it. I suggest using a clarifying shampoo prior to installing as well. Make sure your hair is completely dry. Also, I suggest flat ironing it as well so that you can get precise sections.* Pack in more extensions at the bottom and gradually space them out more as you work your way up the head. Always start at the bottom and work your way up. I suggest starting in the back as well.* Don’t be cheap with your shampoo or conditioner. It really does make a difference. Especially in this situation. Also, make sure the shampoo is sulfate free.* you can reuse your extensions up to three times if you properly maintain them. Once they are out, shampoo with a clarifying shampoo, condition well, then comb out and leave flat to air dry. Then flat iron them smooth and put new pieces of tape on the bonds and reinstall.* only use clarifying shampoo at the times I have specified. It is not for daily use.If you follow these instructions you should have good results and be happy with your purchase.Good Luck!

These are great!
So, I ordered these on the 28th and they arrived to my house on the 31st! The anticipation for the hair to arrive was very short lived. The hair was exactly what I assumed I'd be getting. I ordered the 18" #6 150g. 3 sets of hair with 20 pieces came in the package. It was all packaged sepertaly inside one big package. Does that make sense? The hair also comes with a little piece of paper for the instructions on how to take care of them and they also provide an extra pack of tapes for each set! I've purchased hair in the past and these extensions feels really great compared to the other brands. I'm also a licensed hair dresser and a certified hair extensionist. I love exploring all my options and of course, saving my money as much as possible. Shedding is absolutely minimal, if not at all existent. The extensions aren't "thin" at the ends. They taper realisticly. I'm going to color these bad boys just a little bit darker to match my hair and then it'll be time to install! I'm so excited.Keep in mind, hair extensions MUST be treated as if it's your very own hair. That means TLC as much as possible. Always use heat protectant and never aggresivly brush, pull, braid, etc. They also need to be repositioned every month-month and a half to ensure no breakage, thinning, or tangles/knots. Except your extensions to last up to a year with awesome maintenance!

Good for the price
I thought the hair was amazing and went in easily. I did have a one set that fell out after the first day. I then used a flat iron to reheat glue and secure for the five weeks I had them in. I had planned to replace with other hair and deep condition before putting them in again (they were looking a bit dry and brittle at the ends). Unfortunately, some of the tapes disintegrated when taking them out leaving them in tiny pieces unable to apply a new tape.

Super thin and get even more thin toward the end
The thickness is a lie. They are not 100grams. I weighed them and the 50 grams. They are the same exact thing. Don't waste your money. The ends get extremely thin and I'm so so disappointed in this product. There's 15 extensions in my hair in the pic [30 but there's 2/extension]

Love them!
LOVE LOVE LOVE. I’ve always worn microlink enextensions but they’re SO heavy so I thought I’d give these a try & im in love! Super easy to install, I had my fiancé watch a video on YouTube & he had them installed in about 40 minutes! Great quality hair, not too thin on the ends, just don’t turn your straightener up too much when styling them. This picture is after we finished the back, we hadn’t worked on the front yet. My hair is above shoulder length naturally

Great!
These are amazing! The color matched perfectly to my existing color and the wefts were super soft and silky yet they still feel like real hair. I have super fine hair and I ordered one of the 40 piece 100g and one of the 20 piece 30g sets. I originally had just ordered the 40 piece but needed to order another pack to make it a little fuller. I didn’t necessarily need the second smaller pack just got it because I do hair and need my hair to look perfect and also my hair was pretty short like above my shoulders so I needed more to make it blend a little better. I haven’t had any issues with the tape other than I am allergic to the adhesive (I have very sensitive skin) so I sewed the wefts onto clips to make them clip ins.

Excellent Product!
These are fantastic! My stylist raved about these non-stop and she’s done extensions for years. The amount of hair with each package is generous and the tape is really good. They are also very reasonably priced. I’ll definitely be buying these again!

One pack, 30 minutes, and done! Update: not holding up well
Soooo I did these myself. Application wasn’t too bad and took me about 30 minutes. I’d defiantly like to practice more on aligning the pieces. That said, one pack did my whole head although they’re pretty thin. I like the look though! They are super soft and a great value.Update: It’s been a week and the tape is not holding up well, sadly. I’m going to have to take them out.
