Happy Hair! (Part 1)

To launch my first review, I am going to begin with my personal hair journey. It will consist of multiple mini-reviews (since this journey did not happen over night). Hair care is an ongoing process and should be treated as such. There is no miracle cure (as many hair care companies would lead you to believe..) and results can be slow. I am still learning how to take care of my particular hair type, and not everyone will have the same results as I did.

Let's jump right in, shall we?


Since I was a pre-teen I struggled with hair growth. see photos (Please excuse my 'duck face' and peace signs.. I thought I was cool) I have very fine, thin hair that really doesn't do much of what I want it to.





 When I was 17 years old I discovered the beauty of hair extensions. 

Ever since, I've stuck with them, which leads me to my first Avid Fashionista Review

Overall Rating: 8/10

Pros: 
*Lifeless, flat, thin hair is transformed into long, thick locks! 
*Fairly inexpensive ( compared to salon extensions) Do it Yourself option of hair extensions. 
*Can be taken in and out quickly and without damage. 
*Can be dyed, cut, styled, washed, whatever! Since it is 100% real human hair.

Cons:
*Can be uncomfortable when tugged on. 
*Clips (on occasion) tend to poke out when I wear my hair up.
*Only last about 4-5 months before they begin to become damaged or frizzy.

For me, Clip in Extensions have really been the way to go! Eventually, I think I will branch out and give different options a shot! But for now, they are the least expensive and economical way to have the hair I really want!

Update! 

To really give you an idea of what Hair Extensions can do, here is a look at my before and after pictures. The Before is my natural hair and hair color. (Ew, so bad!) and the After shows my hair after a Brazillian Blowout, (more info here:What the H-E-Dub is a Brazillian Blowout?) Hair Color, and Clip in Extensions. 
Crazy right?
If you are in the Utah County Area I highly suggest you see Taylor at Shear Madness Salon! She offers a variety of services including the Brazilian Blowout! She Transformed my hair, and she can transform yours too!

You can purchase the Brazilian Blowout Products here: (free shipping!) Brazilian Blowout Kit
Overall Score: 7/10
Anti-frizz Shampoo and Conditioner
Pros:
*Eliminates Frizz
*Smells great!
Cons:
*A tad expensive. I like to keep my hair products under 30 bucks!
