Milk and Blush Full Head Classic Hair Extension Review

After 4 years of dying my hair and heat styling for as long as I can remember, my has been suffering slightly. I'm now embracing my natural red hair and working on keeping my hair in good condition, this is, however, turning out to be a really long process (sigh). Whilst my hair is growing out the years of various hair dyes, I've been needing a little bit of help length-wise.

I originally purchased Milk and Blush extensions last year when they were still branding themselves as Dirty Looks. I'm sure I'm not alone in having read countless horror stories about people with bald patches from poor extensions so I did my fair share of research before I went for clip in extensions. I'm definitely considering micro ring extensions for the future but right now I'm working with that student budget! I'd read so many good reviews about M+B from different bloggers so I thought they were the best brand to go with, overall I've not been disappointed!

First of all, I have to say that the new Milk and Blush packaging is gorgeous! You open the metallic postage bag to reveal a baby pink magnetically shut box. This box has one section holding a tested extension which allows you to check that the colour matches, the second section holds the remaining extensions. The tiny details give the brand an expensive yet current feel, this also made me feel way better about blowing at least a week's money on hair. I'm now on my third set of extensions, my first set lasted for about 6 months before the split ends took over. I now alternate between a set of the 12-14" and the 20-22" - I definitely have an obsession.

I'll start with the positives; M+B extensions feel super thick and silky and they take dye really well. I now purchase I Think We're Alone Now as this is the closest colour to my natural hair, it's not an exact match but adding a Nice and Easy dye (I feel so bad putting cheap dye on expensive hair but as I said, I'm a student) darkens the extensions just enough to match my natural hair. The only issue I have is that the hair isn't at all feathered or layered, so for people with hair as thick as mine they can look pretty ridiculous. I always cut and style my extensions to make them look natural, I guess it's better to have to much hair than too little!

Overall, I'd definitely recommend hair Milk and Blush extensions, especially for people new to wearing extensions, they're a really great starting point and super comfortable to wear!
