Hairdo 20" Wavy Hair Extension Review

Do you have short hair and wish it could be longer right now?  Or are you wondering how to make your fine, thin hair look thicker instantly? If so, you're definitely going to want to read this post! I recently purchased a Hairdo 20" Wavy Extension on Hautelook for $39 (regularly $99). I've tried clip-in hair extensions in the past, but they never worked for me because my hair is so fine, I could only put 2 rows of clips or they would start to show through. So when I saw this one piece extension, I was excited to try it because it seemed like it would be not only faster and easier to use, but also easier to hide! Let's take a look...

Hairdo 20" Wavy Extension in Ginger Brown

Unlike other clip-in extensions, this is so easy you don't even need practice...just put up half your hair, clip it in, then let your hair down and you're done! You don't have to deal with multiple wefts.

It has a netted cap section that's stretchy and I found that it's a little too large for my head.  So I wear it up a little higher and that solves the problem.  It means that the hair falls a little bit shorter length-wise but that's ok with me because it's still quite a bit longer than my natural hair. It has 6 pressure-sensitive clips that are super easy to use...just pop them open, then tease your own hair to add some grip, slide the clips onto your own hair and press them against your head.  They lock into place all day without moving- I never worry that it's going to fall out.

Here's a close-up of one of the clips. I find that the easiest way to wear this is to part my hair about an inch above my ears and pin my hair up.  Then I place the top of the extension along the horizontal part I just created and stretch the cap around my head from ear to ear, clipping the top 2 clips into place on either side of my head.  Then I clip the sides behind my ears, and then finally, the bottom clip at the nape of my neck.

Here's my before and after...my natural hair is in a long bob, but my hair is very thin, especially if I don't add some curl.  This extension not only adds fullness, but a few inches of length as well! I chose the shade Ginger Brown and it matches perfectly! I was actually surprised at how well it matched because I was just going by the photo online (which are almost never accurate!).

Here's what the back looks like...(I don't know why my hair looks so red and light in the close-up here...it's really not that color at all!)

This extension is made with the Tru2Life Synthetic Hair which can be heat styled up to 350 degrees. So I can straighten or curl this however I want to, which is an added bonus! It feels really soft and just like real hair.  It's a little shinier than my natural hair, which is pretty dry and damaged, but I love that because it disguises all of my split ends and makes my hair look super healthy!
Overall, I'm loving this Hairdo extension! It takes 2 minutes to put in and hides easily under my fine hair.  It also contains multiple layers in itself so it blends really well with my shorter hair...that's something I had trouble with when using other extensions...there was an obvious line where my hair ended and they began.  That doesn't happen with this...it's seamless.
Even though the Hautelook sale is over, Groupon currently has this extension for only $34.99! The offer is only good for the next 9 days, or until they sell out, so if you're looking for extensions, I definitely recommend this one!
