How I Maintain and Tone My Clip-In Extensions and Colour-Freedom Metallic Glory Review!

I bought Milk + Blush Triple Weft Extensions in Spaced Out in November (Check out my initial review here). As I style mine often to wear on nights out I tend to wash them often to keep them sleek and soft. I noticed the grey tone from the ombre ends had faded and I decided to use Knight & Wilson Colour Freedom Metallic Glory in Silver Blonde. 

This is a Permanent Hair Colour and on the box looks a grey/blonde shade. The picture below shows an unfiltered picture of my extensions beside the box to show the colour before and how it should look after..

As you can see my extensions are supposed to be a grey shade but have become quite ashy blonde, that being said they are definitely not much different than when I received them, which can be seen in my review above. From the colour key on the box I expected them to be a nice toned grey/'white' shade.

The photo above is a full photo of my extensions before they were dyed. Below is the contents of the box:

The box contained:

• Instructions
• Gloves
• Conditioner
• Cream Developer
• Colourant

I followed the instructions and left the dye on for 25 minutes (pictured below). I then followed with rinsing them, leaving the conditioner on for 5 mins and rinsed it off to leave my extensions really soft!

Once I dried my extensions, trimmed the ends and applied a little coconut oil to the ends they looked like this:

To be honest I don't see a great difference but what you mightn't be able to see from the picture is that the ends are a cooler tone with a slight grey look in the right light. The light in which I took the photo is a 'yellow' light which can cause them to look warmer in tone. This dye has definitely brought my extensions back to their original colour and removed the warm/brassy tones I didn't like about the ends.

If I was to do this again I would use one of the 'grey' dyes and not a silver blonde as I feel this would achieve the grey I wanted. All in all, I'm happy with the end result as my extensions look thicker, healthier and toned which was the next best thing to grey hair!

I would rate the dye a 3/5 as it has great conditioning qualities but lacks in the fact it didn't produce the colour promised on the box.

Milk + Blush Hair Extensions Review.. Blogmas day six!

Hey!

Today I'm going to review the Milk + Blush Hair Extensions. (Formally known as Dirty Looks)

I got the full head triple set - ombre hair extensions in the colour 'Spaced Out' which is a nearly black (I'd say close to a 1b) to a grey colour as shown below..

I chose the 20-22" length as I prefer the longer length and I think they don't look as long on me as it would on others.

The full price for these extensions in the 16-18" is £89.99 before delivery.

and for the 20-22" is £104.99 you can find them both HERE.

So, here's my story with my extensions and how I felt about them..

To be honest when I first opened the package I thought these extensions weren't grey at all, I was kinda confused as they looked a dark blonde/light brown shade and even my sister agreed! Then once I took out the test strip to check the root colour I noticed they looked noticeably lighter but definitely not grey.. yet.

I continued to just open the packet with the full head of extensions as they were so soft and whatever the colour was they looked so beautiful so I was definitely keeping them! I did this and put the full head in to get an idea of how they looked.

Once I did this I went to my room to check them out in the bigger mirror. This is when I noticed the colour! As I was in a different room with a more yellow light they appeared darker but once I went into my room with a white light they are a pale blonde/toned grey and are so gorgeous! This colour is so hard to explain as they constantly change in whichever light I am in (as most hair colours do). 

So, wether I'm in a yellow lit room, a more white lit room or natural light they'll never look the same colour but I am so in love with it!

It's an ashy blonde with a toned grey look and it's so complementary to the dark root and the ombre is done so well as I was slightly worried of having a very harsh dip dye line as thats something I definitely don't like but the blend in these are also amazing!

I can't talk any better of these.

The quality of the hair is long, extremely soft and the thickness from the root to tip is the same throughout so there is no thinning at the bottom!

As mine are triple weft there is 3 wefts to each piece, 3 times the thickness of the usual set. These are the perfect thickness for anyone who like myself has very short hair as my own hair doesn't really mix with the extensions to thicken them up!

Here's a photo I took the first time I wore my extensions. I styled them with my straightner on the lowest heat (150 degrees) to try to maintain the best quality of the hair I could.

Another thing I want to talk about is the packaging. I'm a real sucker for packaging and omg do Milk + Blush deliver!!

My extensions arrived in a small pale pink box with a simple Milk + Blush written on the front (so cute!). Inside was a card discussing the new name, another small card which said 'This isn't a dream' and contained the websites info which I'll link at the end, a care guide on products and info on how to maintain the hair and nice silver packaging containing the hair!

Here's photos of my hair with the extensions in:

The second photo is A LOT truer to colour.

So all in all these extensions are amazing!! They're the best extensions I've used (and that's A LOT).
