I was recommended by a friend to purchase these clip-ins and I’m so glad I made the investment! The first photo is me with my natural hair. The second photo (glasses, side part, in a grey-blue room with a cream colored sweater) was the photo i took right after getting a light press at the salon and having them installed. My stylist also lightly pressed and curled the hair. They held a curl super well (a little too well lol) and even after my silk press grew out, the hair continued to blend pretty naturally. The hair is naturally a darkish-brown, and is a bit lighter than my natural hair so in sunlight there is a bit of differentiation. However, my hair is long-ish (about 14-inches) and I purchased the 18-inch clips so it still blended fairly well. Super minimal shedding, very comfortable in my head and easy to install. I used a silk/satin scarf after install to minimize frizz and create a more seamless blend. The only time I used all clips was when it was installed at the salon. Also, generally I did not sleep in my clip-ins, but I was able to do so on nights where I needed a quicker transition in the morning. There was very minimal styling needed the next day aside from maybe some edge gel and light brushing. I have used both a hair dryer and flat iron (with heat protectant) on these clips and the hair still responds the same! Overall, I love these clips-ins for the added density and length to my natural hair!
