I’d seen the Stranded company on social media and after looking at lots of reviews, I decided to purchase the curly messy bun.

I got the synthetic and was pleasantly surprised, not only does the colour match my hair perfectly like no other extensions but, they look real!Heated styling tools are suitable up to 180°C, however it is not possible to completely re-style the hair. Crafted with subtle highlights, low-lights and realistic undertones, our multidimensional shades mirror your natural hair colour for an impressively realistic finish and virtually undetectable wear in any light. Designed in an easy-fit scrunchie style, you can create a curly messy bun in a matter of minutes with this versatile hair extension. I pull my natural hair up through the middle and secure with the scrunchy curls with grips to give a natural look!

Being a red head, this is also one of the only companies I'm able to match my colour with so have a lot of their products and not one has ever failed to impress. I've used Stranded synthetic hair extensions for about 5 years and finally decided to try the human hair wow I'll never go back to synthetic again firstly they are so soft and really good quality the clips are smaller than on the synthetic and the human hair comes in smaller pieces which feel so much lighter I can comfortably leave these in all day and forget I'm wearing them. From rich chocolate browns to caramel blondes, intense auburns to deep raven blacks, we’ve carefully developed 28 beautiful shades that blend seamlessly into your hair.Stranded Hair Group has grown to become a British hair brand that is represented around the world, bringing a fresh approach to the global hair extension market. Fill a sink with lukewarm water and submerse the extensions into the sink, keeping hold of the top section where the clips are. I asked for a colour match and was advised on Iris, which is fairly close but I feel it’s a bit too light at the moment (hence only rating it 4*) - I’m going to keep it in case I decide to go slightly more blonde. They do feel a little heavy on the head but not something that will make you take them out half way in the day. Finally, spritz with a heat protection spray and leave-in conditioner before blow drying and styling.
