Review - Euronext Remy 18 Inch Clip-In Hair Extensions Chestnut Brown

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have extensions? Well about a year and a half ago, I purchased some really gorgeous real human hair extensions. I have absolutely loved having them and it's really fun to change up your look from time to time. I don't wear mine very often, but I do like to wear them on fun occasions as I did for New Year's Eve this year.

I did my research before going out and buying just any old extensions. After reading numerous reviews, I went to Sally Beauty Supply and bought the Euronext Remy Real Human Hair 18 inch extensions. Before I go into my review, here is what SallyBeauty.com says about this product:

* Easy to use and extremely versatile
* Attaches easily without glue or weaving
* Does not damage your own hair when properly applied

Premium Remy Hair 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.

Set consists of eight pieces with clips and two test wefts without clips: One 8'' weft, One 7'' weft, One 6'' weft, One 5-3/4'' weft, Four 1-1/2'' wefts, and two 1'' wefts without clips to test for color.


When I went to Sally's the manager helped me to get a perfect color match to my own hair. Since these extensions are real hair, they can be dyed and highlighted to match your own hair color. I was pleased that I didn't have to color mine (I have the Chestnut Brown). The other awesome thing about these extensions is that you can take them to your stylist to have them cut or trimmed. I did so with mine and they look so much better all trimmed and layered to blend into my hair even better. They come packaged perfectly pin straight and all one length.

Let's talk about application. So even if you don't have any experience with hair extensions, these will be pretty easy for you to use. Basically you figure out what wefts (the sections of the extensions) you want to put where and you part the back of your hair horizontally with a rat tail comb. You tease the hair lightly along the part and apply hairspray. There are small clips on the wefts and you snap them into the part you just teased. And there you have it. You work from the bottom of your hair and go up. Then you add a few side wefts and you are finished. The beauty of real hair extensions is that you treat them just as you would your real hair. You can style them - flat iron, curl, etc.

Here is a great video showing you how to use clip in real hair extensions. These are not the brand I bought, but just to give you an idea of how I apply mine.

Basic maintenance is important to take care of real hair extensions. I wash mine every 3-4 wears. I use shampoo and condition just like I would for my actual hair. I hang them up to dry and I use an extension case (that I got for free at Sally's back when I purchased my extensions) to store them when not in use. I also have a special loop brush that I use to brush my extensions. I brush them before applying them and I also brush them when I take them out of my hair before packing them up. The brush I have (that I linked to above) is no longer available, but any loop brush for wigs or extension will work.

So...I've never posted a pic of myself on Tropical Mind before, but I suppose since we are talking extensions I'll show y'all a pic of me wearing mine.

And now for the big reveal...


Here I am on New Year's Eve this year wearing my extensions =) My hair is about 3 inches shorter than what you see in this pic - I'm currently growing it out this long. I also used my GHD flat iron to "bend" some waves into my hair - which is naturally straight.

Hair extensions are a lot of fun and very easy to take care of and maintain. You can have a set of real human hair extensions for years if you take good care of them and store them properly.

So there you go! Everything you ever wanted to know about real human hair clip in extensions. Do you have extensions? I would love to hear from you and see pics too.
