I took a risk & ordered extensions on Shein for half the price… my hair is healthier than ever & they lasted NINE months
A BEAUTY fan has revealed that she took a risk and ordered hair extensions from Shein. Much to her surprise, Kim Fegan Hutchinson was left overjoyed when her Shein purchases arrived and now, nine months later, she is still beaming. 2 2 Not only did Kim nab her hair extensions on the cheap, but she claimed that her locks are healthier than ever now too. Eager to share her honest thoughts on the affordable extensions, Kim, who works in Tesco, took to social media to give her followers a close-up look at her luscious locks, leaving many totally stunned. In the short clip, Kim sat in her car and ran her fingers through her hair, as she penned: 'Update on the Shein tape extensions just because I'm getting new hair put in next week. 'The hair is nine months old and I could easily get 12 months plus from them.' Not only have the extensions, which cost her £80 in total, lasted for months, but even better, they haven't caused any damage to her real hair. She continued: 'My own hair is healthier than ever. 'The best £80 I've ever spent on Shein.' Kim later confirmed that she used three packs of the 9AM hair extensions, in the shade S4. Not only are they great quality, but they're much cheaper than many of the other alternatives on the market. Prices of hair extensions vary largely on the amount and length you decide to have, but Kim's are half the price of average human hair tape extensions, which typically cost around £125 to £150. Ugly side of fashion giant Shein revealed as retailer slammed by rivals for 'unfair tactics' to keep prices low Prior to buying her hair extensions from Shein, Kim splashed the cash on a really posh pair, which on reflection, don't compare to these, as the beauty fan beamed: 'They are way better than my previous ones that I paid £300+ for.' Beauty fans beam The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ kimfeganhutchinso, has clearly left many stunned, as in just five days, it has quickly racked up 480,700 views. Not only this, but it's also amassed 16,100 likes, 228 comments and 3,045 saves. Social media users were gobsmacked by the purse-friendly hair extensions and eagerly raced to the comments to express this. One person said: 'They look amazing.' Another added: 'Ah making me excited, just ordered some.' A third commented: 'Look great! Can you curl as you normally would with professional extensions?' To this, Kim replied and confirmed: 'Yes they curl and straighten lovely.' What is Shein and is it legit? Shein is an online-only fast-fashion retailer, based out of China, that has become a number one shopping destination for many around the world. The company was valued at $66billion in 2023, dwarfing that of popular high street brands Zara and H&M. The fashion retailer was founded in late 2008, by entrepreneur and marketing specialist Xu Yangtian, also known as Chris Xu. Shein is a legitimate selling website and is not a phishing scam. But you may receive a disappointing order or run into shipping issues if you order from the site, according to reviews. There have been swathes of quality complaints, which makes sense when looking at the price tag. At the same time, someone else asked: 'Does it damage your hair? I'm thinking of doing extensions but just worried it'll thin it.' In response, Kim explained: 'With these I have very little shedding and because I'm not washing, drying, applying heat etc as often as I would have done without them in, my hair is so much healthier.' And it's not just Kim who is a huge fan of these Shein hair extensions - as many other beauty enthusiasts also shared their rave reviews. One user penned: 'I am wearing 9AM S4 and I get soooo many compliments. Best hair ever.' A second agreed: 'I swear by 9AM. I've tried different types in the same price bracket on Shein and I'll always go back to them and the colour match is brilliant.'
