House of European Hair- Review

Featuring House of European Hair on my Instagram @adrienneroyale 


I have been wearing extensions for the last 7 years but regularly on a daily basis almost 5 years. I have tried many brands and have 28 pairs of clip in extensions! I can’t live without them! I like how you can totally change up your look and instantly have thicker, longer and more luxurious hair!

My hair is naturally long to right about my boob (haha only way I can explain it) but I have noticed the last few years it getting thinner. Right now I use extensions to add volume more so than length. A couple of years ago I had my hair ombred and it fried off which is when extensions saved my life! I literally looked like I had a mullet!

I have been looking for a new brand of extensions to try which had me scrolling through hashtags on Instagram and I came across House of European Hair., what drew me to their hair first was the band and how they looked! Almost invisible! I found out that they have another company called invisitab which is there other hair extension brand, Invisitab is only Tape-In Extensions. With House of European Hair they are using that same exact hair as invisitab, just adding clips to it. Making the only difference between Invisitab and House of European Hair extensions is the application method, Invisitab is tape-in and HEH is Clip-in.


I personally prefer clip in extensions because it gives you the ability to switch up your hair as often as you want to and the ease of taking it in and out daily with no commitment and almost no damage to your hair.

Invisitab and House of European Hair have a unique band; the band that keeps the hair together at the base, it is nearly invisible and appears to be growing out of your scalp by laying flat against your scalp. The invisible band prevents shedding by bonding every single strand of hair together. Pretty impressive were my thoughts! I was intrigued and excited to try them! 

Notice the cleat band! Practically invisible! 
Strong comfortable clips! 

When I got my extensions I loved how they were packaged beautifully inside a box with little white ribbons tied in perfect bows. My first impression is that the hair is extremely soft, the band looked unique, almost like clear thick tape, I love the highlighted hair and the length was perfect. 


Once I took the hair out of its box, there are 7 wefts there are –

Two-3inch
Two-5 inch
One-7 inch
One-8 inch
One- 10 inch








The hair seemed very thin from what I am use to and was nervous to try them on! I even emailed right away asking how many grams the hair was and told they “do not sell by grams, we sell by lengths- 14"-16"-18"-20" so that did throw me off a little. I think if you have thin to normal hair one pack of hair would be enough, but if your hair is even just a little thick you will need one and a half to two of packs of hair.

I have been wearing the hair for about a week now and feel like I can give a pretty honest opinion of the hair. Let’s start with the good things, the hair is gorgeous and of high quality, the clips are strong and the invisible band is the best band I have ever used. The band lies perfectly flat up against my head. The hair is extremely light weight to where, I kid you not it doesn’t even feel like you are wearing extensions! The extensions themselves are not heavy and not pulling on my hair. The thing that I adore about the hair is how they do not get knotty or ratting and I have minimal shedding, this is something I have had issues in the past with a couple of other brands. I felt like every time I would brush my hair, clumps would just fall out.

The hair holds a curl nicely. I have naturally wavy hair and like to wear my hair curly 98% of the time (the other 2% is when I am at home having no makeup days haha) basically if I am leaving the house my hair is curled. I noticed at first the hair would not hold the curl long at all, even after using the curling wand at a higher heat and using a good amount of hair products, the curls would start to fall out within an hour. As the week has gone on and the more I have curled the extension, now the curls last almost the entire day. I just make sure to make my curls tight, so when they start to fall they look the way I want them to.

Nothing is perfect and some of the things I don’t love about the extensions are how thin they are, I got these highlighted and thankfully had another set from another company that look exactly like the House of European Hair,  I was able to combine them with this set. I think when people are buying extensions and putting money into hair they should know exactly what they are buying with length and grams. This would help people be able to compare and know how much hair they need.

These extensions are extremely comfortable and light weight. I like how they look and feel natural. The texture looks exactly like my real hair. It blends in with my hair and does not give me headaches. I can wear these for 10-12 hours and not once do they bother me.

I asked Cindy from House of European Hair some common questions and here are her answers-

What type of hair are the extensions made out of?- The House of European Clip-In Hair Extensions is made with 100% Virgin European Hair and Top Quality RemyHair.

Can the extensions be dyed?-  HEH hair extensions are completely customizable. They can be colored, balayaged, highlighted, cut or permed.

How long does it take to put in the extensions?- A full head of HEH hair extensions can be applied in less than 15 minutes.

Can the extensions damage your natural hair?-They are seamless, lightweight, comfortable clip-ins that wont’ damage your natural hair.

How many grams do the sets come in?- We do not sell by grams, we sell by lengths- 14"-16"-18"-20"

How much of an amount do you need per head?- Each box has 7pc which are enough for a full head of thin to normal hair, if you have very thick and a lot of hair you can add one more boxes of hair extensions. These extensions are the best with the highest quality out there 100% Virgin European Hair, These are meant to add length and volume while still being seamless, lightweight, and comfortable, these give very natural and comfortable results.

What is the maintenance on these hair extensions?- These extensions should be washed with a moisturizing sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner that will ensure the hair won’t dry out. This is especially important if you use heat styling products. The extensions should be washed every after ever 3rd use, depending on how long you have them on and the weather.

Can the extensions be customized?- We do not custom color these but you can take them to your hairstylist and they can be colored, highlighted, permed, cut etc...

Where do you ship?- We ship worldwide and cost varies depending on the state.

What makes your extensions stand out from the rest?- House of European Hair has the best hair in the market it is 100% virgin European hair. This means the hair has never been touched, never been processed, it does not have a film coating to make it look shinier or smoother. This hair is nothing like what is out there on different websites. Other companies have human hair, but when the hair is gathered and put together, the cuticles are going in different directions, this causes frizz and tangles. Our hair is kept with the roots and ends all going in the same direction making it tangled free because the cuticles of the strands don’t get caught against each other. Our hair is also considered to be the healthiest because it is picked one strand at a time. Also many other companies mix human hair with synthetic and call it all human hair.

For me personally, House of European hair has been some of the best extensions I have ever used. They are extremely weightless, with no tugging or pulling on my natural hair,  I love the invisible band! What makes these one of my favorite pairs though is how they do not get knotty or tangled at all; they have not gotten frizzy and are easy to brush. I have not seen no shedding and that is something I have never experienced with any other brand. I am highly impressed beyond words!

I would say if you’re looking for some of the best hair on the market and want salon quality hair at home that will last you a good amount of time these would be great for you. These extensions are usually ordered via email or phone but they are now going to be available to order online at www.hairartproducts.com under HEH!

nuNAAT- NAATCream Argan Oil & Macadamia- Review

NAAT Cream Argan Oil & Macadamia


nuNAAT has done it again! Their hair products blow me away! During the entire summer I used their Brazilian Keratin Daily Care hair care line *you can see my full review on that line here  http://adrienneroyalebeautyblog.blogspot.com/2015/06/nunaat-naat-brazilian-keratin-daily.html?m=1 * and for the last week I have had the pleasure of trying out their NAATCream Argan Oil & Macadamia for instant hair hydration! I said it before that their NAAT Brazilian Keratin Intensive Hair Mask was like magic in a tub and this cream is better than that! I did not even think it was possible! It is truly terrific! I have seen so much improvement in my hair this last week that I had to come write my blog right away!


I love hair masks and creams and still have plenty of my Brazilian Keratin Intensive Hair Mask left, but the only issue with that is you should leave it on for about 15 minutes for it to fully work. Some days I just don’t have the time and am rushing in the shower to get it done as quickly as I can. With this new NAATCREAM it works in less than 5 minutes!! 5 minutes and I have a deep conditioning treatment that leaves my hair frizz free and literally feels like I just left the salon!


I have been using this every time I have washed my hair and the first time I used it I noticed right away how my hair was less frizzy and seemed to have more shine. I usually take my shower, and let my hair air dry while I am doing my makeup. After my makeup is done is when I will blow dry and style my hair. While my hair is air drying the ends get very frizzy and my hair will start to look extremely wavy. After I used the NAATCREAM with my hair air drying I saw a difference, my hair was less frizzy and was drying more straight then normal. When I blow dried and styled my hair it was so smooth and no poof mess! My hair also feels very soft and more manageable.


The bottle is HUGE and I am not exaggerating! Its 32.5 oz. and says lasts up to 50 applications! All this for under $20 dollars! What an amazing deal! I can’t believe I can pick this up at my local drug store! They have different types of NAATCREAMS that you can chose for your hair care needs and you can even replace this with your normal shampoo because it is safe to use every day!


The texture of my NAATCREAM is very thick and you can feel it saturating your hair and starting to work right away! The smell is really nice to, it reminded me of a faint men’s cologne. Nothing over bearing, just a fresh and clean scent. The directions say to let this sit as little as three minutes or if you want an intense treatment you can let it sit for up to 15 minutes. I personally just showered like normal and didn’t time how long I left it on. The results afterwards though were just like stepping out of a salon, getting a deep condoning treatment! This product is just amazing; all of nuNaats products have never disappointed. I love this stuff, its sulfate and sodium chloride free and just goodness for your hair!



I have to say something else about nuNAAT besides their products being top of the line; they really are a great company to have worked with! Their PR team is always there to answer my questions, have great communication skills, and always lend a helping hand. They have reached out to me twice and both times it has been such a pleasure working with them. They give me the time needed to fully try the product out before I review it and never hassle me. I have worked with other companies in the past that try to tell me what to say and I have to let them know I cannot work with them, Because I only believe in giving my honest review and with nuNAAT they allow me to do this and always have such high quality products. I think it’s important for people to know that not only if the product is good, but the company behind it is as well! It makes a huge different, and I always feel customer service is a top priority and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about nuNAAT as an entire company! Thank you for giving me the honor to try and review your products!
