Perfect Girl Hair || Dirty Looks HK Extensions



When it comes to our own hair am I right in thinking that were all lusting after locks we simply don't have? Yes we have those great hair days, which for me are probably way outnumbered by the bad ones. But there are those moments where I'm just really fed up with my hair. The one thing that really lets my hair down probably is just how thin it is. Don't let my pictures on Instagram fool you, my locks really lack life, curls never hold and don't even get me started on volume! My sister on the other hand has gloriously thick hair, hair that I just think looks beautiful and I'm slightly envious she got the better genes in the hair department. Despite me secretly wanting her hair, she often tells me her hair is too thick and she would love it to be a bit thinner. Which brings me back to my first point, I think we all want hair that we simply can't or never have.

However for me there is a solution to having perfect girl hair, and incase you didn't guess by the title of this post, my hair saviour are the Dirty Looks HK Hair Extensions. Around a year ago I got a post up reviewing these amazing hair extensions (you can read that post here) and a year on I'm still loving them just as much. I sometimes think it's good to reevaluate a product, especially for review purposes as you guys can see that I truly do love a product. 

Hair extensions are one of those things which I think pretty much every girl has or has tried, and with so many on the market to choose from it can be hard to know which ones to choose. Let's face it, there not exactly the cheapest of things to buy, but if you invest in the right ones, its money well spent. As a girl who loves long hair, and like I mentioned at the beginning of this post have extremely thin hair, I love wearing extensions to add a little length and more importantly to add thickness to my hair. A few clip-ins really does make such a huge amount of difference to my hair and it only takes seconds to apply them. 

The Dirty Looks HK Hair Extensions still have to be the best I've tried and since receiving them they are the only hair extensions I reach for - They're that good! If you're looking to invest in some hair extensions this year I can't recommend these ones enough. If your happy with the length of your hair, but like me need to add thickness then Dirty Looks have the perfect solution. They offer the quad weft, which is essentially four wefts sewn into one band and its a fabulous way to add thickness to your hair instantly. This comes with your hair extension pack or alternatively you can purchase it on its own, which I did. 

One hair style that I often create is the classic pony tail, especially on those second day hair days. However the thinness of my hair really shows whenever I wear my hair in this classic style. To fix that problem I always pop in my quad weft, curl my hair and then tie it up, and as you can see from the pictures in todays post it really does make such a difference. The hair extensions blend beautifully into my own hair, and my pony tail looks so full and thick which I love. These extensions really are a my hair saviour. 

I can't recommend that you take a look at the Dirty Looks website enough, especially if your on the hunt for some new extensions. I promise you, you won't regret it. If your still unsure, take a look at my first review of the extensions here, where I go into much more detail.

I would love to know what your favourite extensions are and if your a fan of Dirty Looks too?

Lots of Love

Dirty Looks HK Hair Extensions || Review


Dirty Looks HK Hair Extensions* 20/22" - £99.99 (on offer) 

When it comes to hair, in my opinion the longer the hair the better. I'm a right girly girl at heart and whilst some chicks can totally rock a short hair do, I am the biggest fan of long luscious locks. Although my hair is at a pretty long length, I am and have been for quite some time a huge fan of hair extensions and over the years have tried my fair share of them. I love how hair extensions not only give you long luscious locks, but I love how they thicken up your hair and create plenty of volume and drama - And as I am someone who has naturally thin hair this is a Godsend! So when Dirty Looks got in touch with me asking if I would like to review a full set of their HK Hair Extensions I actually squealed with joy as I've heard that HK Hair Extensions are some of the best out there and everyone who wears them has gorgeous looking hair. 

When it came to choosing the length and colour of the HK Hair Extensions, Dirty Looks pointed me in the direction of their website and asked me to choose from a huge selection of colours. There are 21 in total so there is a shade to suit every hair colour. As my hair is really dark I opted for the shade 'Organic' and I was so pleased to discover that its the perfect colour match for me. I would never consider my hair colour to be black, but its a really dark rich chocolate brown which is a few shades lighter than black - The shade 'Organic' will be perfect for those of you who have really dark brown hair which can look black in certain lights. What really impressed me though, is that Dirty Looks have packaged the HK Hair Extensions in such a way that allows you to see if you have that perfect colour match. On the right hand side of packaging there is a separate compartment which has one weft of hair placed in it - You can then take this weft out so your able to match it up to your own hair. If your feel that the shade is not suitable you are then able to return the extensions which is such a fabulous idea. There have been so many times in the past where I've been stuck with the wrong shade of hair extensions and this completely eliminates this problem. 

As for the length of the hair, the HK Hair Extensions have four different lengths for you to choose from. I decided to opt for the 20-22" as my own hair is around 18 Inches and I thought that this would be perfect just to add a little bit of length to my natural hair. Because the extensions are only a little bit longer than my natural hair, blending them in is really easy and there is no nasty cut off point from your own hair to the extensions. One thing that I have noticed about the HK Hair Extensions which sets them apart from other brands, is that the hair is so thick, especially towards the ends of the extensions. I've found that in the past that other hair extensions can thin out towards the ends making them look really straggly and in need of a good cut. However the HK Hair Extensions are so glossy and thick from the top of the weft right down to the very tips which makes them look very natural once gripped in to your hair. I absolutely love this about these extensions. 

Which brings me onto the wefts of these hair extensions. The full head of hair extensions comes with a total of ten wefts which includes the quad weft. For me the quad weft really makes this set of hair extensions special as its having four wefts sewn together, making it incredibly thick as its incorporated into one weft; It adds a lot of hair without having the need to add so many clips into your hair which saves time and is just a genius idea. Once you have secured the quad weft in your hair you really feel and notice a difference as to how thick it makes your hair. Alongside the quad weft you get a mixture of 3, 2 and 1 clips which creates the set. I was really impressed with just how sturdy each clip is as there's always that fear of your extensions moving around or budging during the day. I've been wearing these extensions non stop since receiving them and am happy to report back that the clips do not budge at all. Dirty Looks also include a little box of spare clips with your set of hair extensions which is a really nice added touch, just incase you need them. 

Overall I love the HK Hair Extensions from Dirty looks and the quality of the actual hair is amazing. All the hair has been made with human remy hair which means all the cuticles in the hair run in the same direction which makes this just like your own hair. I just find these extensions incredibly soft, glossy and really manageable. The price does vary depending on what length of hair extensions you want to go for, but I honestly think they are worth every penny and if your looking to treat yourselves to some new extensions these are the ones to invest in.


I think I'm going to be getting a lot of use out of these hair extensions, as you can see from the pictures they look gorgeous in, completely natural and make my hair look luscious. I'm thinking of doing some posts featuring them, showing some hair styles and looks that I've created when wearing them - If this is something you would like to see then please let me know. 

If your thinking about getting some HK Hair Extensions from Dirty Looks then be sure to have a look at their website here. Not only do Dirty Looks sell the hair extensions featured in this post, but they also sell loads of other fabulous hair treats. 

Lots of Love
