If you follow me on instagram, you may have noticed (unless you read the entirety of my giant captions) my hair seemingly grew overnight. No I don’t have magic golden hair like Rapunzel (but a girl can dream, right?), but today I’m going to let you in on my secret to longer, thicker hair: Bellami clip-in hair extensions! My new Bellami clip-in hair extensions give me magic golden (more like ash blonde) hair everyday and I love them! SIDE NOTE (in case you don’t wanna read to the bottom of this post) you can get $5 off your set of Bellami hair extensions with code VANDIFAIR at checkout!
What many people don’t understand about extensions is that you don’t have to go to a salon and pay $$$ to get them permanently put in every other month. Thanks to Bellami, you can get longer and/or thicker hair every day by simply clipping in some of their 100% natural human hair extensions (I know the human hair things sounds a bit weird but I promise you’ll love them – they’re like the super soft, tangle-free hair you’ve always dreamed of!).
If you look at the photos above, you can see the natural length of my hair and thickness (or should I say thin-ness?) at the top. I have naturally super fine, straight hair that I have colored since middle school, so it’s hard to get my hair much longer than it is now without it breaking off (it’s just the price I pay to be blonde!) These clip-in extensions allow me to get the fuller, longer hair I’ve always dreamed of when I want to dress up, but are easy enough to take off before I go to bed or for days when a messy top bun is necessary.
Bellami offers all sorts of hair lengths and colors in their extension sets, so let me tell you a little bit about mine and how I’m wearing them in the above photos. Since I was looking for both length and fullness, I went with the 22 inch length in ash blonde. The set comes with 10 clip in pieces, ranging from small, 1.5 inch wefts to large 8 inch wefts and everything you need in-between. Since my hair is so naturally fine, I’m actually only wearing 1/2 of the amount of wefts offered in each hair extension package because I didn’t want to make it look too drastic or unnatural, but to show you the effect, I’ll do an outfit post soon where I wear all of them (it’s SO much hair y’all!).
I went for the ash blonde shade because over the summer I’ve shifted the color of my hair from golden to a bit more silver/ash-toned. The extensions didn’t match perfectly when they arrived in the mail, but not to fear! A simple application of some toner from your beauty store will make them more silver-toned if your hair is closer to my color.
You can see how simple it is to put the hair extensions in with the above photos. Simply using your index fingers or a fine tooth comb, separate a horizontal line of your hair at the nape of your neck and clip up the remaining hair on the top of your head. Then, simply take the largest weft of your extension set and clip them across your head. Repeat these steps with several or all of the wefts. Personally, I use one 8 inch weft on the very bottom, one 7 inch weft above that and one 6 inch weft above that, then I use all 4 of the individual 1.5 inch wefts on either side of my head to even out my hair length. It literally takes me 5-10 minutes to put them in, and voila! I have magic, Rapunzel-like hair.
Don’t forget, you can get $5 off your purchase of Bellami hair extensions with code VANDIFAIR. Whether you want them to add length or fullness to your hair, I promise you will love them!
