XOXO!
Weird but everybody knows the same: intro outro and thanks everybody and welcome back to my channel today. Obviously, I'm going to talk about my hair extensions, um, so yeah. I wrote down some things that I'm going to go over, but if you guys have any questions, just leave them down below and I will try to get to them as much as I can and yeah alright. So, let's dive right into it. Okay, so before I get started, I just want to say that I am not affiliated with bellamy hair extensions at all. I purchased these with my own money and I have no connection or correlation with them at all. So just keep that in mind just so. You guys know um so yeah. I got these hair extensions about 6 months ago, so I figured now is an appropriate time to talk about them because I've had them long enough, where I can really be able to tell you guys truthfully how I feel about these are the 20 inch 160 gram? I am 5'4, so they go down like when they're curled, like almost to my bellybutton, so they're really really long, and I will try to insert some pictures and stuff at the end for you guys, so you can kind of get a better feel of what they Look like um so yeah they are the dark brown. I think I think that's just what they're called I'm not sure I'll have all of the like official information in the info box. If you are here yeah, I've had them. Like I said for 6 months, I got them like October of last year and I think these were like 200 and something dollars. I used like the 5 dollar off coupon, which was like free shipping, but most of the videos that I have watched a lot of the girls have been given their hair extensions, and I I mean I trust them, but I feel like it was really hard for Me to find customers putting up videos um and it just I don't know it seemed kind of sketched to me. I just really wanted more information, and so that's why I'm making this video to maybe help someone who's in the same boat as me, or as I was because $ 200 is a lot of money to just be throwing around cards day. Like me, you got ta see every single penny, so oh, I got the 160 because a lot of the girls were saying how oh I don't even use all the hair extensions there's so much and to me I was just like well, I don't want to spend $ 200 on something that I'm not fully going to use, because I I don't know I just didn't - want to waste the hair. I guess if you will so um yeah, I decided to go with the 160, because I knew that I was going to be using all of it and that it wasn't going to be too much or too long. Like I said, I'm only like five three and a half by four, so I'm really a small person and if I have like 22 inches of hair, I feel like that would be like to my knees or something I don't. I don't know so I didn't. I got them because I wanted length, but I didn't want like an insane amount of length and also my hair is it's pretty thick. I just have a lot of hair, so I was kind of hesitant about the 160 just because I didn't want it to look stringing at the bottom and I wanted you know. I just wanted it to look natural as natural as possible, and I'm glad that I did get the 160 because um I feel like if I got the 220. It was just kind of a waste for me and it would be way too much. I really didn't want that much thickness. I just really wanted length so um yeah. I will also insert a picture at the end of me without my hair extensions um, but basically anything they're gon na find these in my hair. My real hair goes down to like right here, so it's really still pretty long, but I just wanted the extra length I have not dyed them. These are like the color that they came. They might be a little bit lighter. I'Ve only washed him like three times, so I highly doubt that they really changed at all um when I first got them. I did go to my hairdresser and I had her cut my hair into the hair extensions because they really weren't blending the best that it could be and also my hair didn't really match completely. So what my hairdresser did was dye, my actual hair, the same color of the hair extensions. That way we didn't mess with the hair extensions we didn't dye them or fry them um. We just focused on my real hair, making sure that that blended in the hair extensions, so I'm really glad she did that it kind of helps the life of the hair extensions, but I am planning on getting them highlighted. So I might make another video about that and I don't know we'll see we'll talk about, though, moving on to shipment um, I ordered them. I think, on a Wednesday, a Tuesday or a Wednesday I feel like, and I got them like Friday, so it literally took like two days to get them and I live in the u.s. and I think they're based and in, like California, now um so yeah. It only took like a day or two to get them which I was like. I was really impressed about that because usually it takes like a week, at least for anything, to get to my house, so I was really really happy about that and really excited that. It didn't take very long at all um if you are going to order them and your um an international person, then I'm not hundred percent sure how long that would take. But I'm assuming it wouldn't take. You know forever, but that's something that you feel life to research um and I I don't know you know how busy we are. I don't know if they um are still always out of stock. I really haven't checked in recently um. I just know that when I my hair extensions, that was like a really big peak time for them, so um yeah - I I don't know I was just really impressed with how fast the game I was so excited, and I like ripped open a package and stuff. I was going to make a first impressions, video, but um. I didn't have my camera at that time. I had my laptop and, of course, my laptop decided. It didn't want to work so, as you can probably see they really are not like they don't look fried or damaged or anything um. I'Ve had them for six months and I don't usually wear them everyday. I usually wear them like for special occasions. Um I've curled them and straighten them, wash them uh my foot while on them that's pretty much it. I have not dyed them or bleached them at all. Yeah um. So far, they've lasted six months, we'll see how long they last. If you do plan on using your hair extensions, you know every single day or whatever. Obviously they probably won't last as long, but I think that I've heard most people their hair extensions will last a year and that's if they use them like pretty religiously. So I'm really not too worried about it. I think I probably have another year or so left um but yeah, even even if they did get really, you know fried and damaged and gross. I think I would still probably repurchase them, because I really do like the hair. I mean I've, I've gotten a lot of compliments on them and a lot of people are like. Oh my gosh, I can't even tell you're wearing hair extensions, and even my boyfriend is like. Are you? Are you wearing your hair extensions today cuz, like I can't tell so? That'S always a good sign um that they look really natural, so good job el-amin good job. Oh, I think the last thing that I'm probably to go over would be the pros and the cons, um I'll start off with the cons just because I really don't have that many honestly um. I think the number one thing is that they are really heavy um. I have all of them in right now, except for like three, you one clip west, so they're, really small um that they are pretty heavy out. Maybe it's just me. Maybe I don't clip him in like the best way that I possibly could, but they you know throughout the day they start getting heavier and heavier and heavier here, and they they do kind of slide down my hair a little bit. They don't slide out pop out or anything, but they do slide down a little bit and that gets kind of annoying, especially if you lay on them they will get kind of messed up and you might have to reclip them and stuff, but um yeah. You really cannot see the clips unless you like, dig hardcore, but I can't even find them now so um the clips blend in really well, they stay in they just kind of like to slide down a little bit. That'S why I like to tease my hair and then I clip them in because it kind of gives more texture for them to hold on to um so yeah. I think that's really. The only cons that I have have you have heard that their customer service is really good, and I would have to agree that I have. I didn't, have any problems with customer service. I didn't really contact them very much. I I have made like comments and stuff on their Instagram and I have messaged them a little bit here and there, but I really haven't like talked to them or anything like. I said I'm not affiliated with them, so I don't know them personally or anything but um. They seemed really nice to me and to everybody else. So that's really awesome yeah one of the cons, the pros. I think I pretty much went over most of them, um. The length is really perfect for me. I actually haven't cut them at all. Um I've just gotten a little bit of layers put into them. Um the color match is great: oh yeah um. So all I hadn't show you guys like the back and give you some 360s. There are some pictures in here for you and yeah. So I hope this was helpful for someone for some of you.

Comments
Cindy R: I can't tell you how much I appreciate a non sponsored video on this. I love that it truly is your honest opinion. Thank you! You definitely helped me on my purchase!
Crystal Herd: Finally a brand that actually cares about their customers - they are super understanding and helpful. I've never had a bad experience with ZALA :)
Kelly Blair: This was awesome! It was definitely helpful and reassuring to hear an honest, unbiased review from a regular customer, thanks!!
JOY D: Hi Shanna, just wanted to send you an update, i did buy the extensions and i ended up getting the 22" bellisimas instead of the 160 g set. OMG, this was the best purchase i ever made! I wore it and no one could tell! All they said was that "wow, your hair is long". I ended up just giggling. Thank you for your review again and for your support in getting them. It was the best purchase i ever made!
Hamida Exterkate: I have used a whole bunch of extension brands in the past but I tried ZALA hair extensions after a colleague recommended them. I honestly love them! I used to only wear my extensions for special events because they would be easily damaged by my ZALA set I wear all the time and the quality is incredible. I also use their tangle teaser brush to make sure they stay silky and I have found this really helps prevent any damage or hair snagging
Valerie Pineda: This honestly helps SO much. I'm 5'0 and I was thinking about getting the 22" only because I crave for LONG hair but it looks gorgeous so thank you so much !
Jennifer Adams: Thanks for the review.. I had Bellami a few months ago but the clips ins fell out so easily and kept shedding. So i decided to go with ZALA hair and im so in love with how amazing their hair is. Its so soft and doesnt shed at all and most of all it looks so natural
tammy nicholass: Hi shanna I'm from England and I just wanted to say I really loved your review on bellami you was so honest with your opinion . I'm hoping they do ship over to here so us uk girlies can join the fun lol Xx
Jade La Sha-Uri: This really helped me figure out the peeeeerfect length extensions to get for my size! I'm 5'3ish, so I am pretty short too and now I know what inch of extensions to get Thanks so so much
Melissa: love this video - and how honest you are. I agree, I think its shady to be giving people free hair in exchange for good reviews.. .of course if you get something that costs over $200 as "a gift" you're gonna say good things about it.. I've tried a lot of different clip ins and my fave is still navonahair.com - thick to the ends, stays looking brand new forever and way cheaper.. keep up the awesome videos! <3
Crysta Frost: This was really helpful to me! I was kind of on the fence about buying them and now I really think I want to. The before and after pictures really helped me to understand the length.
GroovyTB: Hey guys just a quick tip. If you receive your clipins and they are extremly tangled, shedding, stringy, etc deep condition them for at least an hour and I promise you will see how great the Bellami extensions really are. I am a paying costumer who had to learn that the hard way. Love&Light
Ashley Scott: Ahhh I'm so happy I found this video! I just ordered my bellami and I'm currently waiting for them to arrive! I jumped the gun and purchased before watching enough reviews and I love that yours was so honest :) and the fact your a broke college customer like me!
Kayy kayy: The Bellami hair extensions i ordered were made so cheap, the hair was great and so thick but within the 3rd time i wore them, the clips & the piece of cloth that holds the hair together started falling, which resulted in the hair shredding so much! i sewed them back on but I didn't expect this to happen from all the great reviews I've seen.
Reem Habib: This video was so helpful, I was about to get the Bellisima 220 gram/22" hair extensions but I'm so happy I watched this first because those would've been way too long and thick for my hair type. These ones look way more natural, and seem to blend in well!
Friederike: Hey Shanna :) Could you do a tutorial on how you got these gorgeous curls you have in the end of this review? :) SO PRETTY xx
Faith Augustine: They look amazing on you! I just got In my 220g 22" Mochachino Brown extensions on Friday & put them In & I am In love! I can't wait to play around with them & have longer thicker luxurious hair. Thanks for your honest review, I have a feeling I'm going to get many uses out of them & be a very happy customer just like you are. Xox
JOY D: Thank you very much for this "honest" opinion of the hair extensions! I recently had to cut about 4 inches off my hair because it was so damaged and now I feel self conscious. I am looking into buying extensions but didn't know which one to get. There are so many brands out there. My hair is thin/fine and I actually don't have much of it! :( so I am hoping that hair extensions will work for me. It is a lot of money to use on hair, and if it doesn't work well, then it will be a disappointment. Your review made me feel assured and not too scared about the product. Thank you very much. :)
Tamara Murray: This was a very helpful review thank you! I have purchase from Bellami before the boogatti set and it was way to much hair for me and I have thick hair! I am also super short so the length of them made me look like cousin it on the Adams family lol I was all hair! This was very honest and answered every question I had so thank you!
Casandra Lopez: Please shoot a hair tutorial for this look please!!! Bellami hair is the way to go...I love mine!! I had them for about a year now and there still in fantastic condition! Highly recommend!
Michelle M: You are gorgeous with or without them!! This review was so helpful I am debating on getting the 20" 160 as well so this was great info! I have thin blonde hair so my worry is if the clips/wefts will be seen with my thinner hair verses thick dark hair like yours! I have had beaded extensions in for two years but miss having the option to go natural once in While like clip ins offer!
86Sabiha: Gorgeous, real, and helpful! Well done!
Nini: I was so scared to order because there are so many mixed reviews out there but I pretty much winged it after seeing this video . I ordered the Ombre set in color #4 . I recently just chopped a good portion of my hair off , and it's fairly chunky right now so I decided to go with the 220 . I also love super beautiful long hair so I went with the 22" . I paid $300 after all the shipping costs , etc. ! Really hoping they're worth it .
Charlie May: Awesome review!! I'm so close to buying them and seeing how natural they look I think I'm going to do it!! Thanks for the video :) <3
Buffowl: Did you happen to buy the bellami hair care products or the flat/ curling irons? How do you take care of them! Great video! :) Thank you for helping me make my final decision <3
Natalie Symes: Thanks so much for this honest review!! I really know nothing about hair extensions and was wondering where to even start with a brand let alone a weight. But the bellami extensions have really seemed to have done well by you, so looks like that's where I'm going :).. Thanks again, your new subscriber :) Xxo
Layla: Amazing Advice and Honesty. Thank you! Beautiful hair color, blends in great!!
Angie Uv: You are seriously so stunning !!!! Been debating on whether to buy these or not and which length/thickness so thanks a bunch for this video!
Skylar Renea: I love your hair like this! You should do a video of how you do this style! It looks gorgeous!
elleellelle: I always feel that people who talk about products they get sent isn't the best review I get so much flack for being so honest in hair extension videos but I refuse to not be honest to my subscribers, ive just found your channel and subbed :) id love to do a colab or swap if your interested xxx
Izu: This is so good that you speak as a customer. Like that nobody is paying you and I believe I can really trust you on your opinion. Thanks ! Loved this !
Tahmina604: After much extensive research on the brand I decided to order the 22" 220g set in May of 2014. I've washed them about three times and it is now November 2014. After that first wash I could feel how bad this hair quality was. Felt and still feels like it was over treated with bleach or or some straightening chemical. So brittle from the very first wash. Not nearly as nice as all these reviews i had seen on YouTube. I also had rows detaching from one another and the clips became loose and undone on a few. I've never written a review on any product good or bad. But I m just so disappointed. Maybe I got a bad set?
Eleni McKnight: I'm considering investing in some Bellami or Luxy hair extensions like these. They look really nice, but I know I'd never wear them unless I can style my curly hair. Knowing I can take these to my stylist to cut in some layers and/or dye them to make them look more natural is a great idea!
Nishalei Chaelani: Wow, thank you so much! This review really helped! I have thin hair & I was really torn between getting the Bambina or the Ballissima but because you are relatively the same size as me I decided to go with the Bambina :)
everydaycarly: Thank you so much for this honest review! I ordered some tonight!
Laura Anne: I have the same set except my hair is SHORT and I just put a review and tutorial up on these extensions. I'm brutally honest and have had them for a while, highly recommend you watch!
Iluvthelord01: I had such high hopes for these when I bought them a but they were honestly the worst from the moment I got them and I tried to work with them to no avail. I ended up buying new extensions a couple months after from a different company.
Sarah Santos: It looks gorgeous and so natural. nice video :)
Megan Pacente: Thank you for this! So thorough and helpful.
Kimberly Oglesby: Thanks for an awesome review! I love your mellow personality. Not to mention you are super gorgeous! Xoxo
damnitjenna: thank you for posting this.. a lot of my favorite youtubers got theirs for free and have the $5 off codes and i'm always like nervous to take the plunge cause they always seem to have the same opinion and all that.
Viviana Romero: Thanks for the video. I see so many reviews on people who have just received their extensions and wished for a video like this. Good thing I found your video right around the time my bday/anniversary is rolling around. Off to make a list for hubby. Thanks again
Pebbles Flintstone: Thanks for the review, very well done. I just ordered the Irrisistible Me hair extensions and was contemplating get a set of the Bellami...I am so glad to have found your video! Thank you! New subbie! Xxxx
jorida mana: Thank you for your honest review. Greatly appreciated :)
matinachtz: Hi Shanna, do you have any suggestions on products that give shine to the extensions like the silicone coating they have when you buy them for the first time but something that dries not like oils that tend to grab dust overtime and look dull and want to be washed again because i try to avoid washing them frequently to keep them in good condition for as long as possible :)
Kendall Alfred: I bought my Bellami's because of this video! THANK YOU ♥ I just posted my honest review of them yesterday :)
sophie dymond: Thanks for this review, really helpful as I was going to order the 220's but after seeing yours I'm gonna go for the 160's, and considering I'm in the UK, will be saving myself a lot of money that would have been a waste. anyways thanks again and u just gained a new sub xxxx
Cindy Tapia: You are soooooo pretty , & I'm getting the exact same extensions you have. But can you do a video on how you curled your hair for this video!
Melissa Haydee: Loovee!!! I was actually looking for someone who paid out of pocket for the truest opinion !! Really helped me thanks ! ;)
NANi: Yes please make a video when you get them highlighted it would be so helpful ! Ps you are beyond beautiful ❤️
inikidaisy: Your hair extensions look so beautiful on you! Great video.
Kara Beliard: I have been looking for honest info about bellami hair, just like you said it seemed like all of the youtube guru girls were raving about them and it seemed kinda sketchy. i really liked your review and found it very helpful! thank you!
Foxy's Domestic Side: Thanks for this, I want to get some extensions and you're right most of them are sponsored posts. So thanks! Even though this is over a year and a half old
Janice McLaughlin: I LOVEEE ZALA's SAME DAY SHIPPING IN SYDNEY - as a hairdresser this is perfect when i client needs tapes at the last minute
Ashley: Great video Shanna! you're so pretty :) have you ever had them like fall off on you? that's what I'm worried about is because my boyfriend likes to play with my hair a lot and I don't want a clip falling off if he were to...it'd be embarrassing lol
Andrea Laya: Do curls stay in well? or do they come out easily?
Raina White: Love your hair!! Omg it’s beautiful!!! ♥️♥️

velia chico: They look so gorgeous? Did you consider the chesnut color? Just wondering because I am having a hard time figuring out which one to go with?
Gloria M: You’re gorgeous! thank you so much for ur honest review
Sara Daher: First of your videos I have seen. You're stunning! How do you not have more subscribers?! I am considering purchasing a 220g set. I was about to this afternoon but I thought I should let the idea stew a little longer since they are a lot of money.
heleena baqer: Thank u for this review. I live in the Middle East , it took more then 8 weeks to reach, and I payed a lot for shipping but I still did not use them. :)
Eboni Cousins: Makeup tutorial on this eye look please!!!
Olivia O'Rourke: Your beautiful and this was so helpful!!!! Just ordered some!!!! I cannnooottttt wait!
Samantha ❤️: How long do they last before you need new ones?
Maribel Figueroa: Thanks for the video and honest opinion I really appreciate it. I just ordered mine in dark brown and I was wondering if you custom colored them or thats the colour as it comes. Because I've seen many videos where the dark brown looks very light and redish and due to that I'm not sure if it will match my hair.
Macie May: I have a lot hair also, and I wasn't sure if I should get the 160g or the next one up. Do you think 160 would be enough?
maria H: thanks for the honest review, i just purchased my set after seeing this video!!
cristal torres: love it i need hair like that! thanks for this review. pictures show the difference .. I'm going to purchase mine!
itsfotoula: Love Bellamis!! I just did a review too on my second set in a different color on GabriellaFotoula

Sarah Vee: You are literally goals! New subbie
Erin Hausmann: You have some gorgeous hair girl!:)
Summer Noybn: as long and beautiful as your natural hair is, in a year or so by the time these wear out, if you dont CUT your hair, you probably wont even need them :)
Kaylah Casuccio: Can you do a tutorial on how you styled them in the end pretty please? Xo
Melinda Seserko: I'm ordering mine for my birthday and I'm excited!
Tara Richardson: Thank you so much for your review it's helped me decide how long to get.... I was thinking 220 but after seeing your video that would definitely be too much for me. I'm only 4'11 and very petite like you...
Audi Anderson: Your beautiful ! My hair is kinda the same length but my hair is finer and it looks shorter in the front , I just got my bellamis and i love them!!! I got the same ones as you but a different color! How many times do you wear them throughout the week? And can you do so hair videos for different hairstyles?
GoodLifeFox: Girl please do a new video!!! Love your channel, you are so interesting. Would love to collab someday xo
Charley Pena: love your video! so helpful!! What is the diffrence between the lilly hair and the normal bellami hair? Or is it the same? i couldnt seem to find an answer to why there is such a diffrence in price
Nancy Aguilar: I ordered the same one on Friday n I'm glad I saw your video now I know I made the right decision on the length n grams it looks nice thanx for sharing
Faviola Bueso: I will he recieving mine this Monday & im extremely nervous but also excited. I hope they turn out jus as great as yours, I am also getting the dark brown 160 grams 20 in
Amei Lynx: i like this honest review, very helpful
Erica Peterson: 160 is more than enough....perfect review covered 110%

Saidah Jules Fans: I got cashmere hair extensions. Super happy with everything
Ginta G: So amazing hair colour, I want that! And beautiful make-up too :)
Priscila Calderon: What grams do you recommend for very thin hair? Like very thin hair
Mayra: Did you have to sign when they were delivered or did they just dropped them off in Your mailbox?
Haley Cole: Did you get these cut to blend better with your hair? You're so gorgeous!
Cherry Poppins: Bellami was the worst! I don't understand why celebrities put their name on a product that claims to be 100% remy that absolutely is not. I ordered the Eva Marie hair and it started frying after 3 days. I've had extensions for YEARS and have never had any that bad, even when I used to order way cheaper ones from China.
Melissa Lucy: Thanks so much for the honest review :)
Aubrelyn Thornton: what kind of wand do you use to curl your extensions?
Danaemari: great video thank you and you are gorgeous glad I found you :) xoxo
Guru Gossip: I got these about 8 months ago. They are ready to be thrown out and i hardly wear them. Youtubers make 5$ off of everyone who uses their code/ buys extensions because of them. I liked them when i first got them. About a month later no shine, no softness, tons TONS of hair falls out (the single clip wefts have hardly any hair on them left theres at least 4/5 of hair gone out of the singles) the hair is dead on the ends very dead i take complete caution in how i wash them. At school i asked a male friend if my hair looked dry/dead and how noticeable it was he said it just looks bad on the ends which is where the extensions were.) Not a fan. Not a good company. Products probably worth about 80 or 90 dollars not 200 and something.
Jose Torres: Thank you ! You helped a lot !!!!
