beauty review: Irresistible Me Hair Extensions

bonjour beauties! i have something fabulous to share with you today...

meet Irresistible Me, a brand that creates beautiful hair extensions! prepare yourself for a longer-than-usual post, but i've included plenty of pics!

 before i continue, full disclosureIrresistible Me is the absolute first brand of hair extensions i've ever used and worn. so basically, i have no other brand {or hair pieces} to compare them to, a good thing i would say! for this newbie they've been perfect; my experience has been beyond fabulous and i'm thankful for the opportunity to try them!

ok, now it's time for the good stuff... 

if you aren't familiar with Irresistible Me, they're a relatively new company. this growing brand creates 100% natural Remy clip-in hair extensions and specializes in high quality extensions {all at great prices}. one thing that i've learned that sets this brand apart from others is the fact that you can order hair not only by color and length, but you can also choose the weight {100, 140 or 200 grams}.

i decided to go with 200 grams, 22 inches in natural black ~ i figured it was enough to demonstrate via images a dramatic difference and it would be fun to see myself with long hair again.

turns out, it's a lot of hair!

the package arrived with a sample piece packaged separately to make sure the color and length would be ok.


the rest of the hair…



when i saw all of the pieces separated {10 total}. i was a bit overwhelmed…

i figured out right away that i didn't have to wear all of the hair at once. it's now been a few weeks since receiving these extensions, and i've probably worn half of the hair regularly {it's good knowing i have extra pieces if i want to wear them, or save them for future use}. learning how to clip them in was super easy thanks to this video and they securely stay in place until i take them out at the end of my day!

some before shots:




as you can see, my hair isn't too long and it's on the thin side. if you're a longtime reader, however, you know i always had thick hair and my past hair product reviews were a reflection of that. as my mom {and my stylist} would say, i had "enough hair for 10 people".

 without getting too far into it, i'll share that i began having health issues and strange symptoms, including hair loss, about 3 years ago. it started slowly, but i definitely took notice. fast-forward to earlier this year, i was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. this, while upsetting, made my hair loss {among those other symptoms and ailments} make sense. without becoming too much of a downer, this has had an effect on me because my hair was a huge part of me. i always had a ton of hair. in any case, i still have hair, but i can definitely appreciate the benefits of wearing extensions more than i would have 3 years ago.

now, a few pics as i clip in the extensions…


before the first {and biggest} piece...


this piece has 4 clips...


 this is the next layer of my own hair, down and ready for the next piece…


finally, this is after clipping in two more pieces in the back {each with three clips} and one piece {two clips each} on either side of my head, under the top layers of my hair.


and here {drum roll, please} are the after pics:




my kids {especially my son, LOL} were in shock when they saw me the first time...




i love the fact that this hair blends so well with my own. it's soft, thick and i can style it the same way i would style it as if it were growing out of my own head. for these pics i did, however, let my 14-year-old, hair-obsessed-in-a-good-way, daughter create the curled/wavy style ~ she's fab! what do you think? :)


i'm so thankful you've taken the time to read and learn about my first hair extension experience! as i said before, it's been fabulous! hopefully i've piqued your interest in Irresistible Me and you'll head over to their website to discover more info about them for yourself.

by the way, if you decide to place an order to try them out i'd love it if you'd email me {find it in the sidebar on the right} and tell me about your experience!
