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.

Umm, Hey ?!

I  have not written a post in over a few months now & I feel a little okay about it. I just was not in the mood to really write about hair. It just started to become repetitive & a little boring to me. Don't get me wrong I still plan on documenting my hair journey & I still enjoy everything hair related. It was just a moment for me that I was kind of over it. I have been enjoying my hair length & been using heat a little too much, but that's okay. I mean isn't that the point of reaching your goal length, to enjoy it in whatever way you want? Well I definitely did & now it's time to get back to my normal hair routine. I still have a long term goal I want to achieve. So let's see where I go from here. This is my small space on the internet & I don't plan on abandoning it any time soon.

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

Giving Weave A Try | Update

I have been thinking about changing my hair a lot recently from the color to deciding if I want to relax it. I just been bored with my hair and I have been trying to do as many natural styles but its either I can't do it, doesn't come out right or it doesn't look right on me. I don't want to manipulate my hair anymore. I'm done with experimenting with color on my own hair and I don't want to continue putting heat on my hair just to cause damage. Soooooo I been thinking about trying out weave? I been looking into it for awhile but now I'm doing my research on it. I don't see any harm in getting weaves what so ever. I can color it and put heat on it I can also pick different textures. Only thing that's holding me back is that awkward feeling of people knowing your actual length and then the next day your hair is down your back lol. But I can get over it I think. This would be a great protective style and I'm hoping it can last for at least 3 months...
