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).
Here is all of Milk + Blush's links and definitely check them out!

Hi, I'm just doing a bit of research on these extensions at the moment and came across your blog. Could I ask, would the Quad weft on it's own look too thin? Or could I get away with it on its own, without buying the full set, if I style maybe a half up/half down do? I'm not sure on investing in a full set just yet in case it doesn't suit me or my hair length. It looks amazing on you! Thanks for your help :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. My hair is past shoulder length so the thickness is already there
DeleteIt could possibly be too thin depending on the cut of your hair. If you've a blunt cut blending it in could be difficult as I find that with mine, but if not and you're just adding the quad weft for thickness as you have the length and it would blend well I'd definitely say go for it! These extensions are my fav and I wear them nearly daily and the condition of mine is great!
DeleteThanks for your help Maria! I have quite layered hair, and the extensions are more for the purpose of adding colour and thickness than adding length, so I think it might blend okay, especially when curled. It seems to me quad weft will be enough to get started with. Ordered them this morning , very excited :) Thanks
DeleteThat sounds like they will be perfect! Excited for you, I absolutely love my Milk + Blush extensions and rarely go out without them! :) Let me know how you get on!!

ReplyDeleteHi Maria! Thanks for this post - I'm still doing a bit of research before committing to a brand of extensions. When I e-mailed the girl @ Milk + Blush, she told me my hair is too long for any of the ombre extensions (so heart breaking!)
ReplyDeleteI was wondering what's the length of your hair now and how you find it blends with longer hair?
My hair is currently past my shoulders and 1/2 way down my chest. Any thoughts would be great!
Hi Roobie!
DeleteSorry for such a late reply, my hair is now just past my shoulders so it's still blendable with the darker shade at the top.
This means the blonde at the end is all blonde and isn't mixed in with shades of black. I have seen people wear the extensions with longer hair, one of my favourite people to follow on instagram does, her username is: irislovesunicorns and if you scroll back to october you can see her wear them with longer hair and how it looks!
Recently I've really been digging the darker hair look though and will probably invest in all black milk + blush extensions as they're my favourite that I've ever used!
Hope this helped a little!! xo
