Click here for The Website! ♥ 

This beautiful blonde bomb shell above, is the owner of foxylockshairextentions, she's 23 years old, and set out to make hair extensions that are affordable and have an amazing quality and quantity of hair at great prices. She has defiantly kept to her word on that one!

About FoxyLocksExtentions.
FoxyLocksExtentions are affordable 100% Remy clip in hair extensions that comes in different colours and different weights. Remy hair, is when it's 100% human hair with all the cuticles running down towards the tips.There are 15 different shades of hair, going all the way from platinum blonde, to jet black. I was honestly stunned on how many different colours there where on offer, and also the weights.

From experience when buying extensions off the high street it's hard too purchase a good quality set, for a good price and with a lot of hair, the highest weight i brought was only 70/80Grams, which is nothing. So obviously when i checked out Imogen's website i was supper excited to see that the lowest amount of hair they come in was 120g! The hair comes in three different weights: Regular-120g, Deluxe-160g and finally Superior-215g and also, all the hair is 20 inch's long, they are true to their length!

120g-£56.
The 120 grams of hair, is for fine to thin hair and it comes with 8 wefts.


160g-£74
the 160 grams is for medium hair, the 120 may look to thin at the ends if you have medium hair. this set Comes with 10 wefts.

215g-£118
the 215 gram set is for those lucky people who have gorgeous thick hair. This huge set comes with 10 wefts and 1 extra super weft where it has 3 wefts stuck together.

Now Finally on to my Review!

This is me in London with my beautiful foxylocksextentions in and curled!
In this review, I'll be talking about:
  • The website
  • The customer service
  • The Delivery
  •  The Packaging
  • The hair its self
I'll be scoring each section out of 10 and then over all in the conclusion.

The Website ♥

The website, is plain beautiful. I'm probably biased because I'm in love with vintage pink, but hey! It's super easy to navigate around the page and to find exactly what you want. There are no complicated pull down menus or a link to a page taking you to another one to another, you click on what you want and BOOM its there. however there is a little bit of an old fashion feel about this website, just because how simple it is, but this isn't really a bad thing.

score. 8/10 ♥

The Customer Service

When i first went onto the website and wanted to order my extensions, i wasn't actually to sure on what colour would match my hair so i contacted them and asked if they could help me. Me being me however, i couldn't wait for their reply as unfortunately is does take 3 days or more, but this is just due to them being so busy, so i went n ordered the Off black 1B in 160 grams. However, when they answered my questions they where really helpful and helped me out a hell of a lot.
so over all their customer service is great, it just takes a while for a reply.

score. 6/10  ♥

The Delivery ♥

I live in the United Kingdom, and this is where FoxyLocks is based, so obviously it is going to take alot less time to be delivered to me than for someone, for example, in the USA, obviously it may take 3 weeks. It takes a month for items from china to be delivered to me but if you want something that much then you have to put up with it. 
The delivery was surprisingly cheap, i went for the next day delivery as i actually ordered them for going London and i didn't want to risk them not getting here in time. Next day delivery was only £5.99, so i was pretty happy with that ☺, and normal delivery is only £2.99. for all you worldwide readers it'll cost about £24.99, and you gorgeous American and Canadian bunnies it's only £16.99 for express delivery.
I had ordered my focylocks after 2pm which meant they wouldn't send out my item until the next day, but i got my beautiful parcel on the Friday at 11AM, i couldn't believe how prompt the delivery was! i obviously had to sign for the package when it was delivered, and i must of looked like a mad woman smiling to the postman! 

score. 10/10 ♥

The Packaging

SPOILER ALERT! 
if you don't want to see their beautiful packaging just yet, and want it to be a surprise, scroll down really fast because I'm putting photo up of it ♥

Here is the beautiful pink packaging my hair extensions got sent in, now see why i said i was smiling like a loon to the postman, seeing this in his hand!? i couldn't wait to rip into this little package and get my hands on the goodies! so the packaging as you can see, is absolutely beautiful, really girly and feminine. 

now for the packaging the hair extensions come in! 
so here is the back and front of the packaging, it pink and simple with her logo on the front, A photo of her self and hair care tips on the back. its made from a thin shiny cardboard with the hair held on with a small metal golden thingy, and this is all inside a see through plastic packaging. 
to be honest, i was actually kind of disappointed with the packaging, i mean the amazing website, customer service and delivery packaging, this is kind of just like any other hair extension casing you'll find on the high street. however i did like how i could see the hair when i first got it out.
 
score. delivery packaging: 10/10

It's All About The Hair! ♥

The length. 
On Imogen's website, it's stated that the length of the hair was 20", and i was curious if it really would be, i mean 160grams of 20" hair for only £75? Maybe they're over exaggerating, and it's 18"? I was so so wrong! it is so true to its length, and it a true 20"! its so long, and because i am a tiny 5 ft 1 and 1/2, it comes just below my rib cage when it's straight. at first it was kind of hard getting used to it being this long, however because i religiously wear my extensions Ive kind of got used to it! 
Bad photo, but just to show you the true length on me!  

The Thickness.
Oh.My.Goddess. i can not even begin to try and explain to you how thick the 160gram set is. my hair is in between thin and medium so i just decided to go for the 160grams and if it was a bit to much, i just wouldn't wear all the wefts, however it matches perfectly and the thickness from root to tip is fantastic!

The Quality Of The Hair
the hair really surprised me, when i used to wear extensions i always had them curled, as i felt it looked more natural. with this hair, that is not the case, the hair looks more natural straight, which i find quite weird but everyone has said the same to me! i love having the hair curled on odd occasions, but i personally proffer it straight or slightly wavey.
this hair, hold a style sooooo good! if you curl it, it stays curled, if you straighten it, it stays straight! its amazing! Ive been out in the rain with it(not the best for the hair) when i had it curled and when it dried it still had the curl i had put into it, yes it had dropped but it was still there! 
One of my everyday styles, wavey but not curly.
 

 Score: 8/10

Conclusion!
if you are thinking about getting foxylocks, but don't know if you should? i can only say do it, risk it for a chocolate biscuit and buy foxylocks! They are amazing Quality hair, for a fantastic price and it all started with a woman not getting the thickness of extensions she wanted, so made a business to help out everyone! 
I've had my extensions for almost 2 months, and so far they are still feeling beautiful. 

Overall Score!  47/60
