Irresistible Me Hair Extensions Review

As someone with fine, thin hair I have a really hard time growing it past my shoulders and when I do, it looks straggly because of fallout during the growing out period or breakage from styling. I've found that it looks best in a long bob (lob) hairstyle...anything longer than that and it has no volume and drags my face down. One way I can get away with longer hair is to use extensions, and I've reviewed a few different synthetic options here on the blog over the past year or so. Recently, I was contacted by a company called Irresistible Me to try their 100% Human Remy Hair extensions, so of course I jumped at the chance! I had seen a lot of bloggers and Vloggers rave about Irresistible Me, so I was excited to try them. Plus, even though the newer synthetic hair fibers can be heat styled, it's not an easy process...with real human hair, it's just like curling or straightening your own hair...fast and easy!

My extensions arrived in a black cardboard box which will be perfect for storing them in when I'm not using them. 

Inside, the extensions come packaged in a clear plastic bag that's sealed.

Normally when you buy extensions, you're not able to return them once they're opened. This makes ordering them a real gamble because if the color isn't right, you could lose your money. Irresistible Me has come up with an ingenious way to eliminate this risk! The pouch the extensions come in has two sides...one side has your extensions and the other side has one weft that you can open without disturbing the other extensions. You can't heat style the test piece or clip it into your hair because it has to remain in perfect condition in case of a return...but you can feel it and hold it up to your own hair to see if the quality and color meet your expectations. If not, you're able to return it within 14 days as long as you haven't opened the main part of the package. They offer free returns and exchanges for US and Canadian customers. I have never seen another hair extension company do this, so it's really helpful!

Irresistible Me offers two levels of hair extensions...Silky Touch and Royal Remy.  Both are made with 100% human remy hair and can be cut, colored and heat styled because it's real hair!

The differences between the two are:

Silky Touch is their best selling, more affordable line and are perfect for those who are just starting out with extensions because they look really natural. They start out thicker at the top and get a little thinner toward the bottom just like real hair does.

Royal Remy is their top of the line hair that has a special treatment added to the hair to make it even silkier and to help it last even longer. It's the closest thing to unprocessed hair you can find and has the same thickness from the top of the weft all the way to the ends.

I ended up getting the Silky Touch and they work out great for me because I have fine hair that naturally thins out at the bottom. I didn't want them to look too big or thick because it wouldn't be as believable on me. As it turns out, they added plenty of thickness...wait until you see my before and after photos!

Silky Touch comes in 11 shades while Royal Remy comes in 12 shades. I ended up going with Chocolate Brown because even though it seemed a little darker than my hair color, it doesn't have as much red in it as the medium brown does (which was my next closest option).

Another amazing thing about Irresistible Me is that you can choose both the length and weight of the hair and completely customize your look. From my research on other hair extension companies, I can tell you that all of the ones I've come across only offer the thicker weight hair in the longer lengths, usually over 20". With Irresistible Me, you can get the thickest option, 200g in the shortest length if you want to. I wanted a bit of length, but not too much so I opted for 18", which is right in the middle. The options are 14", 16", 18", 20", 22" or 24" and weights of 100g, 140g or 200g. 

The 100g set comes with 7 pieces, the 140g set comes with 8 pieces and the 200g set comes with 10 pieces. I opted for the 200g set so that I could have the most hair possible to play around with. It comes with 1 four-clip piece, 2 three-clip pieces, 5 two-clip pieces, and 2 one-clip pieces. Here's what each piece looks like once you get it. Typically, the larger four-clip piece is used in the back lower down on your head and then you can build it up from there. I like to use the larger pieces in the back and the two and one-clip pieces on the sides of my head. The clips feel very secure and I didn't feel the need to tease my hair beforehand...they gripped onto my fine hair very tightly. 

The hair feels silky soft and completely natural. But don't expect perfection because this is real hair and each batch will be different. It also may have some flyaway hairs or different colored hairs mixed in here and there...that just adds to the natural effect. Some synthetic hair extensions look too perfect and shiny, like doll hair and are a dead giveaway. These still feel soft and have a natural movement so they make my more damaged hair look a lot better and hides my frayed ends! 

Ok so here's the moment of truth...my before and after pictures! The extensions come straight so I took photos of them straight first, then I added some waves with a 1.5" curling iron so you can see how it looks both ways. Also, I'm only wearing 8 out of the 10 pieces...I just didn't need that many and I could probably even get away with wearing 6 on an everyday basis.

The Silky Touch extensions start at $79 but my combination was $169...the cost just depends on the length and weight you choose. The Royal Remy line is the most expensive option. Overall, I love my lob but on days when I just want to sport a longer 'do, or for special occasions, Irresistible Me extensions are totally worth the investment! They take a little bit more work to attach than some of the synthetic options I've reviewed in the past since they're multiple pieces vs one large piece, but again, I prefer how natural these look and feel. Not to mention, having the ability to wash, dry and style them like real hair is priceless!
