BELLAMI Hair Extension Review





Okay, I am doing this long and overdue post on my extensions! I hope I answer all your questions and you find this helpful in deciding if you want to buy a set or not! ;)

Let me start by telling you a little bit about of my hair extension history. My hair is really thin, and throughout the years with all the dying and cutting it hasn't gotten any better. Not to mention that my hair likes to take it's time to grow. So extensions are life savers and big confidence boosters! I have used extensions since I was 15 years old. Tried all kinds of extensions, from crazy expensive hair that lasted  less than a month to amazing deals on eBay that in my opinion were GREAT hair. I have cut, dyed, and done the unWEAVEable. For a year I even had individual extensions put in (WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN.) Don't get me wrong, they were super convenient and for lazy people like myself individual extensions are perfection. BUT they really damaged my hair and I lost even more when I removed them. My head couldn't afford thinning of any kind. That is why I stick to my true and tried clip-in hair extensions!! 

Like I mentioned before, I have really thin hair. So when it comes to hair extensions, I need something that is going to one, blend naturally with the rest of my hair. Two, have secure clips that will get a good grip on my hair without thinning it out and three, give me length plus volume all in one.  Is that too much to ask for?? I  think not. 

I found out about Bellami's through YouTube and before I bought them I did my research. I was craving them for about 6-8 months. I would weekly search for reviews on YouTube, stalked their IG page and would find myself on their page admiring before and after pictures. Crazy right? I wanted to be sure that my little dollars would get their worth.  I have had issues before with other companies that show you this amazing hair online and when you receive it, it's well... a piece of blah! 



After months of research I finally did it, I ordered them! Let me tell you I have never received a package so quick! I ordered them on a Monday afternoon, by Wednesday my babies were in my hand! Bonus points for that Bellami! (I am sure the shipping will vary depending on your location.)

So here is the break down on what I got and what I paid:
I ordered the Bellami Bambina 160G 20" set in Dark Brown 
  • (1) 8" weft
  • (1) 7" weft
  • (2) 6" weft
  • (2) 4" weft 
  • (4) 1.2" weft   
 Total of 10 pieces. 

I paid about $160 for mine. I have paid different ranges of prices for hair extensions, and this may seem like a lot but its average for GOOD hair extensions. Remember you get what you pay for!

OK.....so here are my thoughts on them-

It was LOVE at first sight! (HUGE SIGH!!!) Like can I get an amen for nice, silky, smooth hair! I was ecstatic when I opened my package. They were so BEAUTIFUL! Thick from top to bottom, they fit my hair color perfectly and the clips were exactly what I was looking for. I clipped those bad boys on minutes after opening the package. They blended so beautifully!

Why I love my Bellami's:
  • They are 100% Remy Human Hair (make it so they blend nicely, you can wash, dye, blow dry, curl, etc)
  •  The wefts are sturdy so you don't have to tease your hair to keep them secure
  • The silicon strip prevents hair from damaging. 
  • DOUBLE DRAWN (making your extensions thick and voluminous from top to bottom)
  • After having them for 6 months they are still in great condition. 
  • They live up to all their hype! 
How I Care for them:
  • Wash them MAYBE once a month (if that) They are extensions so they don't produce all the oils your real hair does. There is no need to over wash them. You'll dry them out. 
  • Use my usual Shampoo/Conditioner
  •  Let them air dry
  • Will occasionally spray them with heat protector
  •  Try not to let hair spray touch them 
  • Easy as 1, 2, 3!
 

 I purchased another set for volume and body purposes only. So, I cut these (chocolate brown Bambina 160g) to about 16-17" and dyed them ombré.  NOW, unless you trust yourself 100% to do this kind of work on your extensions, I suggest taking them to a professional! 

After dying them, there was a bit of fall out, the ends did dry a little, but I nothing more or less than I was expecting.   :)


 
I curl, straighten, curl again, and my Bellami's still look great! I will absolutely continue to purchase them as long as they continue to provide AMAZING hair. If you are questioning buying a set don't question it anymore..DO IT. You'll never regret it. After all, what girl doesn't love long voluminous locks of hair, come on!
