Irresistible Me Extensions Review

Posted on February 8, 2016March 30, 2020 by Alysia

Irresistible Me Hair Extensions Review // Toronto Beauty Reviews

{Faking Volume with Irresistible Me Hair Extensions}

With Valentine’s approaching you may be experimenting with new looks. I’ve always loved the look of full and big hair, and as a girl born with stick straight hair, I have always longed for volume. I’ve had my hair very long before but I could never get the true volume I have dreamed of. I had never tried hair extensions before and I thought that clip-ins would be a great start. Through Irresistible Me, I was given the opportunity to try out some clip-in extensions from their Silky Touch line. Here are some features of the line:
  • Made from 100% Indian Remy Human Hair
  • Can be easily washed, heat styled, cut and coloured
  • Great for volume and length
  • Perfect for special events
When considering hair extensions it’s important to figure out your needs and lifestyle. The main choices you’ll have to make when choosing extensions are:
  • Type of hair extensions
  • Colour
  • Length
  • Weight

Since this was my first time using hair extensions I decided to go with the “Silky Touch Line” since it was recommended for those just starting out.  My hair right now is a dark brown with some left-over ombre from last year, so it’s a slightly lighter shade at the ends. Since I knew I wouldn’t have the ombre look forever, I decided to choose a colour that would match my natural colour and went with Silky Chocolate Brown #2. The next choice I had to make was the length. At the time I was aiming to receive the extensions, I had shoulder length hair so I went with 18″ length. Lastly, since I lack volume in my hair, I opted for the heaviest weight – 200g – which includes 10 pieces (or wefts). Each weft has a number of clips attached to the hair depending on the width of each piece and the thickness of each clip decreases slowly towards the ends of the hair which mimics the look of natural, layered hair.

 Included in my package was:
  • 1 weft with 4 clips – 7.5″
  • 2 wefts with 3 clips – 6″
  • 5 wefts of 2 clips – 4″
  • 2 wefts of 1 clip – 1.2″
  • Tester weft
 Irresistible Me Hair Extensions Review // Toronto Beauty Reviews
When you receive the package, all the pieces come on one side with the exception of one weft with 1 clip. This is the tester weft to determine if the colour you chose matches your hair. The colour I chose matched my natural hair colour perfectly, but I appreciated the tester weft  that came with the package. If the shade isn’t correct then you can return the package. Also, since it’s 100% human hair you can always get it dyed to match your hair perfectly.
Attaching the clips to your own hair is easy, but if you have very slippery hair like I do, try teasing the hair you’re going to attach the clip to as it gives a better grip for the clip to hold. I only ended up using 7 of the wefts because my hair was already looking pretty massive. The ones that I didn’t use were one of the 2 clip weft and both 1 clip weft.

Before // After (Straight Hair) // After (Curled Hair)
You can see that since I still have remnants of the ombre colour,  the extensions don’t blend seamlessly. If my hair was all dark brown, leaving everything straight would look fine, although I felt that the clips were noticeable. Curling the hair seems to make them blend a bit better but they didn’t curl as easily as I expected them too – perhaps I just needed a bit more practice with this texture of hair or perhaps it was the fact that the hair was virgin hair and had never been exposed to heat styling before.
Irresistible Me Hair Extensions Review // Toronto Beauty Reviews
After a bit of experimenting, I decided to clip the extensions lower on my hair to add length and wore my hair in a wavy style by curling only a few pieces here and there. I personally preferred this look better.

I also experimented with clipping in the extensions and putting all my hair up in a ponytail.  I loved how voluminous it looked! I think it will look even better once I dye my hair back to its natural colour.
I have to admit, since this was my first time wearing hair extensions and because my hair is thin I was paranoid that others could see the clip-ins. If it’s your first time using clip in hair extensions I would  recommend doing what I did: wear them for a night event first when it’s darker and more forgiving until you perfect clipping them in and styling them for your own hair.
While I loved the volume these extensions added to my thin locks and loved how easy they were to clip in, I’m still undecided as to whether they suit my personal lifestyle. But if you’re looking to try extensions out for the first time then the Irresistible Me Extensions in the Silky Touch line is a great option.

    This was a very interesting post. I would love to try extensions, but I have red salon-colored hair and it’s really difficult to match and too expensive to have the extensions dyed to match. I would love to do a contrast shade, like strawberry blonde, and see how that looks. I’m not sure I understand how to clip the extensions in but I guess they have good directions. The extensions look great on you!

      Oh yes red would be difficult! I would imagine you could get a light colour and then get it dyed to match your hair? – but yes could be expensive although with proper care you may not have to dye it often!

    I have to say that I found it hard “spotting” the extensions; it looked really good. I don’t think I’m as coordinated as you to be able to even try them!

    How do you clip them in? I think that would be the biggest challenge for me

      It’s real easy to clip onto your hair, just close to the root. It holds better to the hair when it’s teased.

Proud ☺️🌈 And loud, since I have the privi Proud ☺️🌈

And loud, since I have the privilege of being able to live my life openly, unlike so many of my 2SLGBTQIA+ peers. I’m a straight-passing cis white woman, so my queerness doesn’t threaten most people. 

So, with that advantage in mind, let me use this small platform to say to anyone who is listening:

Never forget that Pride started as a riot. 

That Pride is more than slapping a rainbow on something, jacking up the price, and saying “love is love” for four weeks out of the year. 

That true allyship involves action and accountability, 365. 

That trans women, two-spirit individuals, and queer folks of color are the heart and soul of our community. That they continue to show up, to fight, to love, and to lead while facing very real danger. That we owe so much to their courage. 

Never forget that queer folks have always been here. 

That you can’t erase us, ban us, or legislate us out of existence. 

That queerness is a part of nature. 

That it exists even when it’s no longer trendy or politically advantageous. 

That we notice and remember who speaks up and who is silent. 

That we contain multitudes. 

That we deserve safety, compassion, legal protections, love, joy, and a future - just like every other human. 

That not all of us are “out” and don’t need to be; that we will invite you in if and when we choose to, and if and when we feel safe to do so. 

That queer folks make the world better. 

And that, despite seemingly insurmountable odds, we’re going to be ok. 

Because resilience, creativity, collaboration, and resourcefulness are fundamental parts of who we are. 

So we’re not going anywhere. Get on board.

Happy Pride!

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Come with me to pick up the art piece created from Come with me to pick up the art piece created from the flowers in my bridal bouquet! 🥹❤️

Getting my flowers preserved and turned into this incredible piece was one of the best decisions I made during my wedding planning. ✨

Amanda and her team are extraordinary artists (and wonderful humans!) who give your flowers a new life and preserve memories. Every time I walk past this piece on my wall, my heart glows with flashbacks of my wedding day. 

If you have an important event that includes flowers, do yourself a favor and book with Parched to get them preserved. They accept flowers from across Canada, and have worked on blooms marking all occasions of life, from graduations, baby showers, weddings, and memorials. They can even create pendants using flower remnants!
