 Extensions Review - Dirty Looks

A while back I posted about cutting my hair short. It has grown out a bit but I still bought extensions since I felt naked without long hair. I want to start this post off with the fact that I am not sponsored in any way. This is just my review and thoughts on the Dirty Looks Bobby Glam extensions I ordered. Let’s go~


The trouble with my hair, most extensions do not blend at all. This is because my hair is super thick and slightly coarse (a friend said I have horse hair :[ ). I honestly never understood how extensions would blend into other people’s hair. Whenever I bought the same set that looked good on a friend looked terrible on me.

That’s when I started researching. If you’re new to extensions, one thing you need to know is how many grams the extension needs to be in order for it to even blend. Some girls were saying 160g is a lot of hair and would blend well. However, after continued research, old sets I’ve tried were anywhere from 160g to 180g and did not work for me at all. I later found that most Asians need a minimum of 200g for it to start blending. I thought, okay I want something that is somewhat long and at least 200g. That really narrowed down my options.


After literally a week of research, I decided Dirty Looks was the way to go. I mainly saw positive reviews, they had a set of extensions that should blend easily, and shipping looked decent.

Enter the Bobby Glam Full Head Hair Extensions Quad Weft. I ordered these bad boys in the color Organic (an off black or soft black color) and in the 220g. For the 220g, the length is 20-22 inches which would bring my hair back to my original length before I cut it. These are made with Remy hair which is the best quality for human hair extensions. And since it’s a “quad weft”, it had four wefts to an extension. Most extensions only have one weft. The nice thing is that there are only 7 pieces that you need to worry about! These are currently on sale starting at $224.14. The regular price is $292.48 so there are some HUGE savings!

It didn’t take long for the package to arrive. Seriously, the shipping is insanely fast considering it arrived from the UK. I think it took maybe a week and that’s because I’m in Washington state. I’ve heard some packages coming much sooner when they’re on the East Coast of the USA. The package arrived in a small silver envelope and fit perfectly in our mailbox. There was no need to worry about trying to pick it up from the office.


I opened the package and loved what I saw. Everything was very visually appealing and just plain pretty!

1. A cute postcard with their contact info which I will list at the end of this post.
2. This little booklet has everything you need to know: tips for getting started; how to apply your extensions; how to style and store them; extension care; and their return policy with return form. It’s full of lots of pretty and colorful pictures too so it’s really easy to follow.
3. My extensions which I will go into further detail below.
4. And of course my receipt which is not pictured.


As you can see, the extensions came in a package with two sections. The first section has the majority of your extensions. The second section is your test weft. OPEN THIS SIDE FIRST! You use it to see if the color of the hair matches. For a better description of my hair, it looks jet black but up close you can see that it’s not. It’s a soft black with red tones. The color organic was a perfect match. If it doesn’t match, then you can send it back. They have a whole section in the booklet that explains how to exchange the product and get the correct color. You can even return the product as long as the safety seal hasn’t been broken.


Now, if your color matches, you can open the safety seal. IF THEY DO NOT MATCH, DO NOT OPEN THIS SEAL! They will not be accepted for returns once this seal is broken. This is for safety and health reasons. I mean really, would you want to receive extensions that someone else opened?


Since my hair matched, I opened the packaging. The hair is tucked neatly into a hair net so the hair will have a slight wave to it once removed. The hair is very soft, shiny, and silky. The color organic has some golden strands and the photo above are the wefts in natural light against an all-black table. The weft measurements are as follows:
1 piece of the 4 Clips, 9 inches (the longest piece that wraps from temple to temple)
2 pieces of the 3 Clips, 5.5 inches (used at the back of your head)
4 pieces of the 2 Clips, 4.5 inches (used on the side of your head)


Putting the hair in was very easy. The clips stay in place and they don’t slip. If your hair is naturally soft, I would recommend backcombing so they stay in place. They don’t feel heavy and I don’t notice any major shedding. They tangle just like real hair but I’ve noticed it doesn’t tangle nearly as bad as my own hair does. They are still silky, soft, and shiny after 4-5 uses.

The biggest question for me was: Will they blend? The answer is yes and no. For the most part they blend. I think if I had a few more wefts they would blend even better since there are some spots where I can tell my hair is short. Keep in mind blending short hair into extensions gets harder the longer the extensions are. Adding that with thick hair seriously just puts the odds of blending against me. However, it can be done! I will post a video or explanation with how I put them in and style them to blend into my own hair at a later date.


Overall, I’m happy with the product. I give them a 5/5 since they do their job. It’s not the extensions fault that they don’t fully blend because my hair is just difficult. I would honestly recommend anyone to check out Dirty Looks because they’re the best extensions I have ever used. I know I will go to them again in the future.
