HeadKandy / Dirty Looks Hair Extensions Review - Manhattan Highlights

HeadKandy Dirty Looks Hair Extensions Review Manhattan Highlights 16-18 inches

Hair Extensions for me are a Holy Grail. I've worn them for the last 5 years and I've tried just a few to say the least! The last 3 times I've coloured my hair and needed new extensions I've been turning to the same company - Dirty Looks (previously known as HeadKandy).

This post has A LOT of pictures but when I searched for Dirty Looks reviews this is the one thing I really found the internet was lacking. It's so hard trying to decided what shade to go for when picking Extensions online so hopefully all the pictures will give you an idea of the shade & quality of this brand.

To start you need to decide what length you want to go for: 12-14 inch, 16-18inch, 20-22inch or 24-26inch... I have always opted for 16-18 inch. You then can decide what thickness/weight you want, I selected the original HK Full Head which has 160g of hair which includes the gem that is the Quad Weft!

Once you've ordered you hair extensions they will be with you in around 1-2 working days by Signed Delivery (yeeppp I had to run to my door in my dressing gown at 7am to sign for them). They come in a box which I love as they're perfect for storing the extension in, the hair itself is in a plastic zip bag - most of the hair is in a sealed compartment but one weft is accessible, this is a great as it gives you an opportunity to make sure this shade matches your hair. If they don't quite match you can return them as long as you don't open the main section of hair (has a silver sticker sealing it). You also get a brochure about the product and instructions on how to put them in.

Included:

1 x Quad Weft
2 x 3 Clip Ins
5 x 2 Clip Ins
2 x 1 Clip Ins

Once I have clipped the extensions in they are super easy to style - my favourite look to do is loose curls with a few bits clipped up, the curls help blend the extensions in and pinning bits up gives you a bit of height. I also wear them for up do's - buns, ponytails etc...

Dirty Looks are by far my favourite brand of extensions, they are amazing quality, really thick and a great investment. One set usually lasts me 12 months and that's styling then twice a weekend and giving them the occasional clean.

The price of these do vary depending on the length and thickness you want. Mine usually coast around £90 and can he purchased here.

  11. Awesome review, thank you! I am about to purchase a set, and after reading your review I am much more confident. Only one question, do you have the same length in all of the shades you are showing? I noticed the butterscotch looked quite a bit shorter than the other two? Length is the last determining factor for me!

    1. Hi Lacey!

      Glad you've found it helpful, I completly agree I always do a lot of research before investing in hair extensions!

      All the extensions are 16-18 Inch, I think Butterscotch may look shorter as some as the hair is at the back and there's slightly more lift as I've styled it with beachy waves, rather then loose curls/rollered.

      Hope that helps!

  12. What a great read, Stevie! Styling your own hair is really hard, especially when it’s your first time to try hair coloring or extensions. Thanks to hair extensions, adding volume and trying out a different hair color are now achievable without the use of harmful chemicals. Moreover, you can select the highlights of your choice, and the hair pieces are completely detachable. Thanks for the share! :)

  13. Hey lovely!

    I noticed that you previously had the butterscotch shade, which is what I have right now. I'm just wondering, what was your process from transitioning from butterscotch to mantattan? I'd really like to do this, but I'm just wondering if you ordered the extensions and then went to the salon and asked your stylist to match, or if you had your highlights done first?

    I absolutely love this colour on you ps, you look gorgeous!
