Green Hair Extensions
Length: 22 inches
Texture: straight
Color: neon green
Material/type: Synthetic
Price: $1.50 (per piece)
Purchased from: ebay
I bought this a long time ago. I don't remember who the seller is. Supposedly, this type of synthetic hair can be curled or straightened at low heat but I have yet to try it. I like to keep my hair straight anyway and the good thing about straight synthetic hair extensions is that they stay pin straight all the time. The color is very bright and vibrant. They are extremely shiny and obviously synthetic, but it's more of just a pop of color piece for me so I'm not so much worried about that. After all, I'm not trying to make it look natural. It's green.
In the above picture, I'm wearing it with my short hair extensions set. As you can see, it is a lot longer than that hair. It really pops amid the black. I wear it more with the long hair set just because it is the same length. Sometimes, I wear it as a pop of color at the bottom of my hair, underneath all my extensions.

Hair Tie Ponytail
Hair Tie Ponytail
Color: Black
Type: Synthetic
Length: About 24"
Bought from: ebay
Seller: sg3global
Price: $3.31 + free shipping
Now I'm not a fan of wavy/curly extensions just because it's hard to match my real hair. I find it easier to straighten my hair than curl it to match the curliness of the extensions and for wavy extensions, my real hair is wavier and frizzier than the hair. I don't have such pretty waves like my extensions.
The pro of this is that I can keep my hair straight and just put it in a ponytail and attach this to it. It is a tie around type of extension so you have to attach it to your ponytail and tie the ribbon around it and make a nice bow to keep it together.
The cons is that, being synthetic hair and also curly, it tangles so terribly. I do mean terribly. I guess I got what I paid for. It is kind of shiny so like I said before, looks more natural in dim and cloudy settings. In harsh sunlight, the difference is obvious. It doesn't stay in as well as the claw clip type. I probably would not buy this again. It isn't really that great. I might go ahead and buy the claw clip type of this. Anyway, here are some pictures.
It's long though, which is good. But it's probably not something I would ever get again.

Hair Ponytail Clip
Hair ponytail Clip
Color: Black
Type: Synthetic
Length: about 24"
Bought from: ebay
Price: about $8
For a synthetic hair purchase, I actually like this one a lot. I would get human hair if I could but I can't afford it. Human hair ponytails are actually pretty expensive.
I don't actually have the seller saved for this (I should really start to archive all my purchases. I don't buy much anyway). But I do remember the package coming very quickly. It's always nice to receive something ahead of schedule. Anyway, I bought this because my tiny ponytail nub just doesn't look as nice as a long ponytail. Plus, an updo type of extension will add some variety to the types of long hair I can have.
Anyway, the pros of this item. It is so much cheaper than its human hair counterpart. It's a claw type clip so it looks like a thicker and fuller than the wrap around ones with the ribbon. It's pretty thick and extremely long.
Cons: synthetic and all the cons that normally go with synthetic hair. So it tangles much more than real hair but it does tangle less compared to the really cheap synthetic hair I had before that I bought for like a dollar. It is shiny. The harsh sunlight especially shows the shinyness and the difference between the synthetic hair and my hair. In dim or cloudy settings, it is not as noticeable.

It's quite pretty and I like it. I might buy another one so I can have pigtails :)

Wavy Hair Set
Length: 20 inches
Weight: 200 grams
Texture: Wavy (body wave)
Color: #01
Material/type: Synthetic
Price: $30
Purchased from: ebay
This is actually two sets of 100g that I combined together to make one big thick set. Now I know what you're thinking: "Isn't $30 a lot for synthetic hair?" My answer is, yes, it may seem that way. However, this brand, I find, is so much better than the really cheap synthetic hair that you can get for under $10. I find it to be very well worth the price and I'm super happy with it.
I do think the price is reasonable. Just because, for some odd reason, wavy hair is so much more expensive than straight hair. I would have gotten a human hair set if it weren't so expensive for such a thin set. This 200g of hair is pretty thick and lives up to my expectation of super thick extensions. It isn't overly shiny. It does match my hair quite well. It tangles a little bit but not too badly. It does shed but I still expect it to last for quite a while.
Anyway, here are the pieces:
This is a single 8.5 inch weft with 4 clips. I actually combined the largest piece from each set to make this so this is a pretty thick single piece.

These are four 5 inch wefts with 3 clips each.
These are four 3.5 inch wefts with 2 clips each.
These are four 1.5 inch wefts with one clip each.
So now here are so low quality pictures for the before and after.

As you can see, it's pretty nice and long. It looks natural in most lighting except for harsh sunlight. Harsh sunlight usually reveals a lot of things, especially in pictures. So yeah, that's my wavy hair set.
