Long Hair Set

So this set of hair is pretty large. It is actually made up of 3 different sets. It was really hard making long hair thick enough to my liking just because the ends get so thin. Longer hair needs to be more grams to look as thick as short hair that is maybe only 100g or so. Not to mention long hair is pretty expensive. I really had to hunt for those cheap deals. So here is information on the original sets:

As you can see, this is quite a large set. But the reason I bought so much is because the ends of these long hair sets are so thin that it doesn't look good. So I found that I had to buy more sets to make the ends look thicker to be the way I want. That's the downside with ebay hair, the ends are so thin even though the top can be thick. They kind of try to cheat the system by saying the hair is a certain weight but it is actually the package weight and not just the hair weight. Not all the strands go down to the length that is stated, probably only like 25% is actually of full length.

So I did modify the hair to my liking and here is the set now:

Length: 20-21 inches
Weight: unknown (maybe around 300g?)
Pieces: 8 pieces
Texture: Straight
Color: #01
Material/type: Remy Human Hair

As you can see, I did quite a bit of modification. I managed to bring all three sets down to a combined total of 8 pieces, making all these pieces quite thick compared to other pieces of this length. I trimmed them also to make the ends look nice and thick instead of thin and ugly. The 22 inch set was actually not so bad so I did not have to trim it by very much. The 24 inch sets were just so thin at the ends that I went ahead and trimmed them to the length that I trimmed the 22 inch set to. So now, they are all the same length. Two of the sets were already #01, which saved me some hair dye. I did like the #02 set at first just because the brown contrasted with the jet black. I used to wear the brown at the bottom then all the black on top of it so it peeped out underneath. However, I did eventually get sick of it and dyed it to jet black to match all the others.

Here are the few pieces of this set:




One 9 inch piece with 4 clips




Two 8 inch pieces with 4 clips






Five 6 inch pieces with 3 clips


















With all this hair, I won't have to buy anymore for quite a while. Not that I would want to. The total amount I spent on this set is $98.75 (but still cheaper than my short set). I don't normally wear these on their own just because they don't have any small side pieces to make it blend better with my hair. I usually wear it with my medium hair set to create a layered look. Haha surprising that I have enough space for all of it. I must have a pretty big head then. So here are some pictures with the extensions in:


As you can see, it's very thick. It's a lot of pieces but it creates a really nice look. You can sort of see where my hair stops. I tried to make it more obvious so you can see where my real hair stops and where the extensions start.




Wearing them in these pictures along with my medium hair set, some pieces of the short hair set, and the top piece. I love big, thick hair!
