PLATINUM HAIR EXTENSIONS

Hello lovelies, I hope you are all having a nice chilled out Sunday!

So nearly two months ago I got a half head of Platinum Hair Extensions which I was so excited to get. Since I have been around 13 I have always wanted long hair, my hair has always been quite short, thin and it never really grew. I went and got clip in extensions back then and when I look back at pictures with me with them I cringe so much but I am not the only girl that fell into the long ratty clip in hair extension trap.

Summer 2016 is when I decided that I wanted to get fitted hair extensions so I began to research different places in Ireland where I could get them done, I wanted to make sure I was going to be in good hands because I have heard horror stories of peoples natural hair having to be cut really short because of fitted hair extensions getting all knotted into their own hair, and I only had thin hair so not a notion did I want that to happen me! So I came across Platinum Hair Extensions and after reading so many reviews, I said I would make the trip to Dublin to get them done. The evening I decided to book an appointment they put up a Facebook post saying that they had an announcement and that they were opening up a store in Galway, and that's where I go to college so I was super happy I didn't have to trek to Dublin to get them fitted. I made an appointment for December 20th and not going to lie I was very nervous, even though I wanted long hair, I was still super scared of the change and paying that much money and maybe not even liking them. The first few days I was not used to them but now I literally could not live without them, I am already saving up for my next set because I don't want to have short hair again. Don't get me wrong, short hair is super pretty.. but the fact that my hair didn't grow, I never got to experience the whole long hair thing and being able to put in some nice curls!! Many bloggers such as faces by grace, DramaticMac, Emily Rochford and Terrie McEvoy have got their extensions done by Platinum.

So many people didn't even know I had hair extensions because they look so natural, especially how I only got a half head which was €260,  I didn't want to go from having thin short hair to big massive locks, I just wanted to add a bit more length and thickness. You can get a half head, 3/4, or a full head of extensions fitted. After I put up an Instagram post of my hair extensions I got many message via Facebook and Snapchat asking about them so I said I would definitely just do a blog post so hopefully I will have answered peoples questions here.

Sooo... why Platinum??

So Platinum use luxury Italian hair which comes in many different shades and they are all 22 inches long, and you can cut them then to whatever length you would like. As I have mentioned above I was nervous about damaging my own hair but what I like about these bonds is that they are enriched in keratin so it prevents damage to the natural hair. The application took less than 2 hours to do and when they were fitted they were then cut and styled to my own liking. Having them in for nearly 2 months now and I can tell you I literally do not notice having the bonds in my hair anymore. I have not lost any bonds yet, and it is normal to lose up to 10 bonds! The extensions are supposed to last between 3-5 months with proper care. So I bought some of the Platinum products to make sure my hair stays in good condition.

First up I bought the Platinum shampoo because you are not supposed to use products that contain silicon, sulfate or alcohol so it was an essential buy so I can keep the hair extensions longevity. I want to make sure I look after them properly. As the hair extensions don't produce their own natural oils this shampoo nourishes my hair and gives it an amazing shine.

The conditioner I use for my hair is this Platinum rejuvenation mask and I am obsessed with this, it leaves my hair super soft, shiny and sleek. I leave it on for like 5/10 minutes and then wash it out, and before even blow drying my hair I can feel how it deeply conditioned my hair is. It's really good for damaged hair and after years of straightening my own this definitely was a must for me!

€14.99

As there is little bonds near the root of your hair it's nearly impossible to use a normal hairbrush so I got this Platinum one and it just glides through my hair so I can put it up on a slick pony tail or if I am putting my hair up in a bun.

€10

I hope everyone enjoyed this post and if anyone has any more questions just let me know and I will answer them! Have a brilliant week and thanks so much, Caoimhe xx
