Final Update | Lola's Hair Extensions

So I had my Lola's hair extensions installed for now a little longer then expected. Take down is this week and to be honest I am nervous. But that is for another post. Here my review of what I think on this hair.
Here is a brief stats of the hair:

Purchased - Lola's Hair 
Extensions - Malaysian Body Wave
Lengths - 16 inch & 18 inch
Price - $165 which I purchased myself 

PRO'S
Holds Curl's -  had spoke on how it was difficult to blend my natural hair to the curl pattern of the extensions. I decided to stop straighten the hair as well as mines and just curl my hair with a curling wand. By me doing that my hair blended a lot better with the extensions. The extension never dropped there curls. I decided to now use flexi rods to persevere my curls. Days that I did not use a flexi rod at night I still woke up to nice loose waves. 

Never lost it's Luster - The hair has a very lustrous look to it which is what made it hard to blend.

Softness- The hair is still relatively soft to the touch. But if you do not comb it then it starts to feel not rough but not soft if that makes any sense.

Shedding- In comparison to previous installs very minimal to no shedding. During wash day there were times I had a clump of weave come out. I am not sure what that means. But it also happen when I was outside and all I did was run my fingers through my hair. It was not a every time I run my fingers it just happened twice.

Took Color - Although I just color it black it still took and held on to the color.

Reverted - After every wash which was a big deal for me. Even after using a bit of heat it always returned to it's natural texture.

IN BETWEEN 
Straightens Okay - I was not sure to put this as a con or pro. It easily straighten but it took a few passes if I wanted to get it bone straight. I stop flat ironing because it was to time consuming and blending ended up looking weird to me only because the extension look more lustrous compared to my leave out

Tangling - A lot of tangling when my hair was curled but I believe that what is expected with curled hair. It was not bad tangling that your hair would get stuck. It was just hair getting tangled. Which this was not a con for me just a expected thing.


CON'S 
It was hard blending because it has a lustrous appearance. I had prefer to curled my hair then flat ironing it blended a lot better. This is not a negative for the hair more so for myself.

FINAL VERDICT 
I like the hair but was not in love with it. I did not like the fact of how blending was so challenging. But this has more to do with the amount of leave out that my stylist left. I would recommend using it as a full wig, using a lace closure or a u-part wig with very little leave out. The hair is amazing though and last very long. It was more enjoyable when I started curling it. So far I have had tried Beauty Supply weave, Aliexpress & now Lola's hair. I am still learning about this whole weave thing and I do enjoy a sew in. Will I be getting another one ? Maybe but for right now I am going to be catering to my natural hair. Take down will either be Thursday or Friday. I'm so nervous and do not know what to be expecting. Take down is the scariest part of a sew in to me lol. I'll be posting on my take down/wash



This review is based off my experience and feelings about the hair.

Wash Day (7/7)

It feels good to have a clean scalp especially since I haven't washed my hair in almost two weeks! Yeah I know slacker/gross! My  hair needed a good wash and some moisture back into it. Also I just came from the beach and even though I wasn't in the water the elements could of been harsh on my hair ex.sun.  I started off with clarifying my hair since I haven't washed my hair in awhile. Needed to get rid of product build up and plus its the beginning of the month. I used my suave clarifying shampoo, I would say I do prefer the ORS aloe shampoo but I have yet to buy a full size.  I proceeded to conditioning my hair because it was very much needed. I used my L'oreal Power Moisture conditioner and saturated my hair with the product so I can detangle my hair with my fingers instead of a comb. So easy to detangle my hair with this conditioner I love it.  Followed up with my deep conditioner which is the Bee Mine D/C. I didn't wear my heating cap or leave in on for hours.

Hair Length Check In

I can not believe how far my hair has come. My hair has been in a protective for half the year, which was a sew-in. I did not have a sew in for the summer I gave my hair a break. I am currently debating if I should get another sew in for the colder months that is coming but I am not sure. My hair feels fuller & thicker. I was even asked if I had a weave in lol. Here is my current length. Am I Mid-Back length ? This picture was taken in Oct/13  Here is my current length as of Oct/14

So I Made Waist Length

I made my long term goal! I'm finally waist length. I have been on a hair journey for a very long time and through so many trial and errors I found what helped me. My growth has definitely come from protective styling. I'm either doing a sew in and if not that my hair was always in a bun. Also having a simple hair routine is key! Not only that but keeping up with my ends. I plan to get my ends lightly trimmed but the only person I trust is so far from me but very soon I will get one. I might try to do a new hair goal of hip length but honestly not sure having long hair can kind of be annoying, but I'm not complaining I love my current length.
