Update video going up today!!!
Great & honest review! I purchased Better Length clip ins (18inch, 3c/4a) last month. The curl patter is amazing but it was not as full as many reviews show AND it was not 18 inches when stretched (more like 16-16.5 inches). I could only tell that the hair was shorter than 18inches after washing and conditioning it (which also meant I cannot return it). The length was the most disappointing because I wanted and paid for 18 inches of hair. Now Im on the hunt for a more affordable brand in a longer length to lengthen my supposed "18inches" of hair. I suggest to anyone looking into this brand for clip ins to watch sponsored (expectation) and UNsponsored (reality) reviews. Its WAYY too expensive not to get exactly what you paid for.
Omg I didn't even think to measure mine! That's not cool at all 😫 and yes that's why I decided to make this video! Thanks for the support 🥰
@@BreezysPuffs You're welcome! Some of these companies think their slick with the curly hair textures and lengths smh. Anywhoo, JUST SUBSCRIBED!
Wish I watched this before paying 240 for 18 inch 3b 4c clip ins. I feel so duped by all the reviews. In order to enjoy these I'll have to keep them wet and it's 18 degrees in Mi. Smh
This is exactly why I'm all up in the comments. One sponsored reviewer had 20" that was down to her butt. I know that if I order, it will be another story. I hate when vendors do that.
Ugh I wish I would’ve watched this before buying 😩 I just ordered some and was planning to use it as a protective style too - but as soon as I started running my fingers through the hair I knew it wasn’t going to be enough. I’m glad I came across this vid because I was looking to see if anybody else would think it was enough !
This was a great review. However, I think the texture that you purchased contributed to your negative experience with this hair. 4c hair requires the most moisture. So, with 4c hair types, you must properly saturate the coils in water (your starting point was too dry), moisturize with a softening de-tangler/curl enhancer, and then seal in the moisture with a light oil. Doing so will properly moisturize the hair and allow you to enjoy your style much longer. More moisture = less shedding as well.
Also, I believe you should have purchased either 3b/3c or 3c/4a for blending purposes. These clip ins do not match your soft hair texture. It is almost impossible to blend your natural hair with a texture that is not close to your own. I noticed that the 3c/4a clip ins provided by this company are more similar to a natural 4c hair type. You may have sabotaged your style by purchasing such a tight curl pattern. Nevertheless, you still rocked the style and made it look cute.
I hope this helps. Stay blessed and continue to be the beautiful and inspirational figure that you are. ♥️
Gotcha, thanks for the tips love!! I’ll have to try a looser texture 🥰🥰
Yea I noticed most of the satisfied reviews came from customers who ordered the 3b-3c texture. It’s much easier to manage and blend. There’s a reason no one hardly orders that 4b-4c texture.
Loved the honest review. I definitely understand the blending issues...same here.
Thanks girl! And yes ugh so annoying!!
Very lol
Sis you SHINED when your bae came in the vid. 😂 Y’all are so cute and that clip was necessary. 😂 Thank you for the honest review! 🥰
You did a good job blending your hair with the clip ins. Even though you ran into a few issues you still made it work.
I used to make my own for a long time and this time watched a lot of videos on this brand and decided to buy it. I bought 3c-4a two weeks ago used Hask curl care shampoo and conditioner after I lifted the color on the ends and the clipins are soft and curly. I use cantu curl activator and water with conditioner to spray after leaving in for 4 days and brushed out (curls popped back) Anyway all "hair" will shed let's be honest. I love them bought another 4c-4b four days ago. I have a big head and all 10 clips work trust!
Glad it worked out for you! 😊
I bought 4A-4B colored it and love it as well. Yes you are right about all “hair@ will shed.
how long did shipping take for you?
I loved this honest review, some advice try doing your braids way flatter it will help with not having areas exposes also you’d don’t need to put the clips that far in the back & you inspired me to buy this I’m excited it’s looks good on you 😍
Thanks!!! I will try that! And great I'm glad 🥰
Wow I finally found my tribe. I ordered these last month based on other YT reviews and I regret my purchase tremendously! The shedding is terrible and is not the norm based on texture. For the price, I am disappointed because my money goes down the drain every time I wash!
I believe that it’s kind of normal that the hair tangles and sheds, it’s KINKY HAIR. Kinky, coily, curly textures tangles in general. It requires a lot of care and maintenance.
Yes but the shedding sucks bc you paid for hair that very easily falls out
Exactly! That’s the down side of it. This hair are actually expensive!
@@NV-nf4ze definitely!!
Right I got this same hair but 20 inch had for a while and it’s good you just HAVE to take good care of it some people just don’t take good care of the hair
@@ericajones5515 I handled the hair the way the instructions said to. That's why I read the instructions on camera too. I don't know if I did anything to make it shed but yeah
I don't recommend this brand at all. It sheds, tangles and was useless after a month.
It’s shedding as she was it ugh
What about kinky curly yaki?
Is there a brand you recommend?
Doesn’t real hair shed and tangle though?
I was considering them and started watching reviews. Now, I’m not too sure on them. Do you have any other recommendations?
This hair looks so good ❤️ You really finessed this whole look I LOVE IT !!!
Thanks girl, I appreciate it!!! ♥️
Heritage 1933 is black owned and the best quality.
When u put that first clip in 🤣🤣❤️
I was def feeling myself 🤣🤣🤣
Try heritage 1933 fro kinks ..in love had 3months.. And going strong
Thank you for the advice!! I'll have to look into them ☺️
I loved the honest review😍, I am on a hunt for clip ins and I found your channel so I am staying 😂
Haha thanks girl!!! I really appreciate it! 🥰
Which brand did you end up purchasing?
🤦🏾♀️ I honestly thought this was blacked owned! I’ve already bought them ugh!
I thought so too 🙄🙄🙄
@@BreezysPuffs whyyyyy didn't I see this video before I ordered. $200 down the drain.,.. they shed like CRAZY and they do not blend well at all. I guess all the videos I saw beforehand were sponsored ones and they ALWAYS get a better quality than what normal people get. Im very disappointed!
Do kinkistry or Nubian bar. Both owned by black women
Ade Free I ordered from kinkistry and 🥰
Ruby Brown whew I got nervous because I just ordered from them myself for the first time lmao. I’m even more excited now.
definitely think you should've detangled the clip ins once installed and also do some 2 strand twists to help blend your hair and the clip ins
Hey! I said in the video I wanted to do a wash and go look 🙂
If you want to see a twist out with these, I have a separate video for that.
Did it smell better after washing it and what black owned companies would you recommend that have similar hair?
Wow. No shedding. My hair shed a lot. Hard to believe yours isn’t and you’re not being sponsored. Luck for you.
Mine did shed a lot!
Mines did alot of shedding
I'm so heartbroken. I've got the page up to get these clip ins right now and your video, along with a few others, is convincing me these aren't a good purchase :(
Honestly, girl I'd look into another company!
@@BreezysPuffs what company !
@@THEFASHIONPHASE I hear CurlSistas is black owned!
Maybe look into Modernfro / curlscurls
Thanks for your honest video! I have been trying hard to find the right brand to buy... Do you have experience with the ToAllMyBlackGrils hair? It is a brand from UK
Np! And I do not!! But I may look into it!
Try heritage 1933.. They are life.. Fro kinks.. I bought them 3 months ago for 2 packs for $100 but I guess alot of people are buying they went up to $100 but sooo worth it
Mine sheds a lot and it’s dry and rough
How bad is the shedding on a scale of 1 being not much to 10 being way too much
@@lastgoodwomanonearth 6
Bought the hair. Would not recommend. The hair Sheds A LOT ! yes it matches my texture but the shedding makes it not worth it!
I also wouldn't recommend. Not worth it!
After buying 2 different lengths . I believe all the youtubers that are sponsored was not honest. Would like to return
I JUST got mine and noticed that when i was washing it. It wasn’t a lot but i didn’t think it should be doing that at all yet
Have you tried sealing your wefts if so did it still shed
Yyes girl watching over and , doing my hair lol. .much much love
Thanks girl!! 🥰
I bought the same hair mines still good but they way you was washing it and combing it had me cringing 😬
Wait, why? Was I too rough? I was doing what the instructions said.
You and your bf clip was funny. I was really thinking about the questions too like hmm.. how can you?! Also I’d probably let get a loser curl.
Same!!
You should try texture ID curl cream it’s LIFE!!!
I've been wanting to try texture id!!
i did mini twists on my 4c hair and im trying to add more volume and length so I gonna twist the clip in. idk if it works tho bc ive never had clip in before. I've seen two TH-camrs try this and im really hoping it turns out good if i order it
Hmm never tried this!! I feel like you'd be able to see the tracks though?
@@BreezysPuffs yeah I think so but the woman who did it had some leave out and she also did a reverse install to hide the tracks
@@shadehasbeenthrown1178 ohh wow!! Black woman are so creative man 🥰
I needed an honest review on the better length clip in and found your channel. Thanks for the honest review. Do you have any recommendations?
Thank you! Check out my janet collection kinky clip ins review!
Thank you so much for doing this video because my hair is just like yours and I braid my hair in the back just like you so this was super helpful!!
No problem!
What an awesome review. Loved every minute of this! Quick question, was one order enough of the Amazon dupe? I have a bigger head too..
Thank you!!! No, I definitely would buy two!!
I appreciate the honest review! But I think you might have benefitted from watching some other videos on styling.
Gorgeous style!!! I would really love to see you review Straight Silk Spray with Argan Oil by JuniorLabs. It makes my hair silky smooth ❤️❤️❤️
I adore this texture praise Jesus who made us
Have you tried sholas creation clip ins???
Hello, I’m about to purchase this hair. Did you seal the knots. Also, happy to be a new subscriber, your personality is bomb.
Let me know how it looks!!
Hows the hair holding up now? 👀
@@Niya.B649 girl I fell down a rabbit hole. After all the researching I found that this hair company is trash. I didn’t spend my hard earned money on this brand. 🤭
@@iamsunnyrae Aww man tbh i keep seeing alot of bad reviews on this company too, but this is like one of the only companies i keep seeing that sells kinky coily clip ins...🙃😭 do u happen to know any other company that sells them?
I received synthetic hair from this company for 200$ I am so mad
you seem so down to earth, like i'm listening to a friend
After reading the comments I have decided not it get it from that company, anyone know where I could get natural clip ins?
Leanna Kar maybe look into modernfro / curlscurls
Maybe Kinkistry? I’ve never tried them but I think they are black owned
Amazon have cheaper natural type 4 clip ins. Just read the reviews before buying.
Big chop hair is alright and black owned
update: I bought some kinkistry hair and I have it in right now. it's only been in for about a day so we shall see.
I love clipins!
I had the same experience... cute tho!
BF is hilarious 🤣
NOT BLACK OWNED
Where does the hair come from
Looks very natural!!!! How did they hold up?
Hey I have a 7 week update on my channel if you're interested! 🤗
@@BreezysPuffs I’ll watch it now! Thank you
@@Mrscafe no problem!! 🥰
@@Mrscafe I meant seven month but seven week 😂
just placed an order with them, 20 inch yaki or whatever its called. spend 300$ all together,lets see how this goes ill b making a video as well.
Oooh can't wait to see it 😍😍
How did the hair hold up?
@@lastgoodwomanonearth very good! Wearing it now! Just washed it and put it back in. I’m in love with this hair HONESTLY.
While this review was helpful, you have to remember it is natural kinky hair. Just because they are clip ins does not mean you do not have to be delicate like you would your own hair. With real natural hair you cannot expect to throw on a scarf overnight and look decent in the morning. I guarantee if you had twisted the hair with the right product and put on a satin bonnet, your results would have been better.
I tried this in another video after blow drying it and it came out great, thanks chica!!! 🥰
@@BreezysPuffs So has your view changed ? Would you recommend now?I’m thinking about purchasing now 😫
I'm about to perm mine
The worst brand ever. Literally avoid it. I bought a 4c ponytail and 4c clip ins. Ponytail lasted about 4 wears 😒 and the clip ins tangle and shed terribly lasted about 2 months max... trash waste of money. Ladies avoid at all cost.
Is this hair from BetterLength, in your opinion, 100% human hair?
If you liked this video, check out my Janet Collection Human Hair Kinky Clip Ins review! 😍 I would definitely recommend them!
th-cam.com/video/6VP9BBk2ems/w-d-xo.html
U should’ve spaced the clip in out. They were too close. That’s natural clips and it didn’t need to be so close. Another thing u should’ve tried their $5 clip to get your correct textured
Yes, I see that now! Thanks!
I bought Curlscurls. All goods reviews. Maybe I make a video when I get them 🤔
Yes, do it!!!
You remind me of Rochelle Clarke
I didn't know who that was but I looked her up and that's a compliment! Haha thank you
It does shed alot
I thought they were black-owned smh
Yeah me too 🙄
None of these hair extension manufacturing companies are Black owned. None!
@@MrsYummyDOASFBAEVR Kinestry is.
@@catherinegrant4687 what about eat free hair company ?
Has anyone tried the £30 dupe???
I have to do a video on them! ☺️
Disappointed because I thought this was black owned thank you
Why is it called Better length for black women? And not a black owned company very odd! I won’t be purchasing
I definitely agree!! 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Breezy's Puffs have you tried any other good company clipins after those ? Bc I want to try some natural textured ones
@@latericahughes1059 I haven't yet, I'm going to be trying some from the Janet Collection soon but in heard Kinkistry is really good! And Black Owned!
Breezy's Puffs thank you. I will check them out
I heard kinkistry isn't really that good and they barely have reviews which aren't really that creditable but most who are really really honest say the hair is very thin .
You look like Jhene Aiko. I’m sure you get that a lot!
Not at all!!! Lol omg but thank you!!
you have to realize that this is human hair. I have a mix of 3c-4a-4b-4c girl my head is like a world map. Either way, when I get finished washing my hair, I detangle, moisturize, seal in moisture and style (twist out etc). That's the same thing you should do with this hair when you finish washing it (contrary to the manual). I have clip-ins from this company I still have for two years. i wash it, detoxify it and it comes out new. You just have to take care of it as if it is the hair growing out of your head or it will look raggedy in a few months.
I have natural hair and know how to care for it thanks lol all I was saying is the ends get tangled after a day of wear🤷🏽♀️ obviously re washing it would make it look better but it will inevitably tangle again due to the friction against the shoulders and back.
And AGAIN I was doing a wash and go look NOT a twist out! 🤦🏾♀️
@@BreezysPuffs I’m...sorry? There was literally no need to be super passive aggressive about it...we’re adults. I just wanted to share information that I’ve learned from working with the same clips. Anyway, I hope you have a good day!
Maybe if you braid your own hair down with some leave out u kinda just threw it in there
... Did you watch the video? Lol that's what I did
@@BreezysPuffs no do I twist or braid out..u braided your hair down then put the clips on top..you can use specific products, braid your hair with the clip ins, let it dry and take down..
@@wendyellis3738 yes but I wanted to do a protective style but maybe I'll try that in the future. Thanks!
Exactly then u just tied it up you dont do human kinky hair like that
@@RawCandy30 what are you talking about? I didn't tie up the hair? I'm thinking y'all must've watched another video lol. I wore the hair down, love.
You are not doing it right lol 😂 cause no one else ever said they didn’t have enough hair even people with a bigger head ! Lmao 🤣
Please reference my other channel videos to see that I know what I’m doing thanks have a nice day 👍🏾 😊
Your worried about the clips being black owned and you not even using the right shampoo and conditioner used for black girl hair, how you maintain your own hair is how your weave will turn out.
If you watched the video you will see me READ THE DIRECTIONS. It says to use conditioner with silicones. This is how you care for curly extensions. I don’t use that conditioner in my hair ever. But you wouldn’t know that because you only watched one of my videos. Kindly exit left 😊
It's a NO for me... You didn't do it right
WELL girl I liked it and so did many others so...🤷🏾♀️ ✌🏾
