Luxy Hair Extensions Review

So I have been using the Luxy Hair Extensions for a while now. I have been trying to give them a fair chance since I know fairly new extensions can be tricky. They have to adjust to you and you to them. I got the less expensive set, as it is said to be for thin hair (like mine), at $119.00. The color I got was off black.

So I graded the hair based on two things: the clips and the actual hair.

Lets start with the clips. It's 50% of the work. If the clips are crap then so are your extensions because you'll be unable to use them.
Luxy hair clips definitely are some of the best quality clips I have ever used. They grip to the smallest amount of hair, no matter how thin, they are durable and they are well put in the weft themselves. They get an A++. (PICTURE BELOW)

The other 50% percent of good hair extensions is the hair itself. When I first got it the hair was some of the softest hair ever. I wish I had never washed them or use heat on them and just kept them straight.

Now that I have used them and styled them and used heat, they are absolutely horrendous. They are some of the worst hair I have ever used and seen.

Here's a list of my complaints:
1. Sheds like crazy! (Don't run your fingers through them or you'll have 10 hairs stuck to your fingers)

2. They smell like their synthetic hair when using heat, it smells like a piece of plastic is burning (self explanatory but I believe they use a mix of natural hair and synthetic to make a cheaper product)

3. Doesn't just shed it falls apart. (If you ever washed them you'll find chunks of hair have fallen out the wefts, I know I did)

4. I found a blonde hair in my off black hair clips.

5. The girls in the pictures have hair down to their waists mine is only about 2 inches below my shoulders and I'm only 5"1.

6. Causes my real hair to tangle with the wefts and causes me to get knots like crazy.

7. The bottom of the hair is completely fried from the heat I used (PICTURE BELOW)

8. It will not curl or straighten completely it only maintains its texture. (PICTURE OF HAIR BELOW)

9. Hair gets matted (pieces of hair clump together so it looks like you haven't washed your hair in a month) (ALSO SHOWN ON THE PICTURES BELOW, YOU SEE HOW IT'S STICKING TOGETHER? YEAH IMAGINE THAT ON YOUR HEAD!)

10. The hair is starting to feel rough, it has lost it's softness.

So this are just 10 things off the top of my head. I do have other overall complaints that I experience with this hair and company.

And here they are:
1. When I contacted costumer service about my off black hair having strands of blonde hair in (VERY NOTICEABLE STRANDS) she asked me if I had kept the hair so I can take pictures of it to prove it. I replied yeah I was in an important meeting but decided to leave strand of blonde hair in my black hair so people could check out my weave. (WAS SHE SERIOUS?!)

Anyways I figured she was right and let it go. I just pulled out the pieces of blonde out wherever I spot them (which I shouldn't have to do).

2. Next I tried to write to the company about how bad their products was and I didn't get a reply or I think they just don't care.

3. I bought the most expensive brand and quality shampoo for this hair because that's what the luxy sisters said to use to care for it, a waste because they are still damaged.

So here is how I care for my hair:
I have a box just for it.
I store in a cool place with no light.
I use on special occasions only.
I don't use heat on it every time I use it because I mainly do a high bun with it.
I use expensive styling products for it.
I wash it every 3 months or so just how the Luxy sisters recommended.

So if I'm doing everything right why are my extensions in such bad quality?

The answer is simple. The hair itself is bad quality.

The hair gets a super F- , if it were possible.

The only thing worth it was the clips. Everything else is terrible. I paid 119 dollars for good clips. Doesn't that sound dandy?

Overall the products gets a D+ because I am very much impressed with the clips just not the hair, it's awful.

I regret purchasing this.

Don't do it! Save your money and find yourself a new company. I hope to try out some more soon to recommend some stuff!


Can you see how on the last picture a chunk is missing from the clip? Hair just falls off.

BIG SIDE NOTE: I HAVE NOTICED THE LUXY SISTERS USE NEW EXTENSIONS EVERY COUPLE OF TUTORIALS THAT'S WHY THEIRS DON'T LOOK LIKE YOURS WILL!

Please don't waste your money! I wish I had listened to the reviews.

I have been suffering with thinning hair and falling hair since I was a little girl and I saved up for this for a while. As it turns out this were awful. All my hard earned money for nothing. Of course the company doesn't care because I made them a nice profit.

Im so mad that they can sell such a crappy products. Listen to the reviews their right. I promise!

  2. Ordered Luxy extensions on a weekday afternoon and that evening decided to get some locally and emailed Luxy to cancel the order. By the morning I got an email from Patricia stating that unfortunately my order was already being processed and she couldn't cancel my order with the wherehouse. The order would be shipped out soon and I would have to do "return to sender" when they deliver my package and request a signature. Once the package comes back to them they can then issue a refund..so about 2 - 2 1/2 weeks later I'm assuming. I emailed back stating it's odd that they can't communicate with the warehouse? Later that afternoon I got a congrats your hair has been shipped..why would they even go through the trouble? Horrible customer service right off the bat, I would not recommend anyone going through this company on principal alone. Go to Sally's and get Eurolux hair extensions or somewhere with better hair..tons of negative reviews on this hair by the way..

  12. I have been using hair extensions for over 30 years now. I paid a fortune on companies stating cutice intact remy hair and so on... I was in Greece in 2017 and I ordered she socap which is way better than luxy hair. I ordered luxy hair because I read a few reviews I ordered the 120 grams. The hair was shipped in 72 hrs. When I opened the sample window I just touched the hair and I said oh know it's Chinese hair which is the cheapest hair in the market unlike Indian or euro hair. I am very disappointed because when you watch luxy hair you tube videos the hair looks double drawn and full. This hair is limp and the ends are soon fine you can't keep the curl. I am very upset and I truly believe that the reviews in trust pilot are all reviews by their friends and families. Look into SHE Hair Socap ladies.
