Hidden Crown HairReviews of hiddencrownhair.com

…Where to start-!… First of all… I ordered the V-Clip Volumnizer during their “25% Black Friday Sale”. I had to “do” the order SEVERAL times before the actual sale went through-! This hair extension was priced at $399.00 before the sale. That being said, after about the 3’rd time, I actually did receive the sale price of approximately $100.00 discounted. When I received this item, they sent the WRONG color-! I ALWAYS order #60 “Platinum” so I can color them Lt. Pink. They sent me #613. When I tried to contact them via emai…NOTHING -!!! They NEVER responded-!!! To make matters worse, I attempted to do the “exchange” online… I was informed, I had to send them an additional $100.00+…!!! For WHAT-! ( Their error -? ) I NEVER heard from the company…AGAIN…!!! If all this isn’t bad enough, when I “unzipped” the packaging…CAREFULLY…to see if I could possibly use this color, the so-called ties that aren’t supposed to be removed, or the “exchange”, or “return“ is voided,…LITERALLY…FELL OUT OF THE PACKAGE-!!! Apparently, they were NEVER EVEN TIED-!!! ( PURPOSELY…?) Anyway… After…ALL THAT…,.. The “613”…turned out to be the right choice…👌🏻 Not to mention,…GOOD HAIR…! And, no other company offers a…”V”…CLIP,… which is my…FAVORITE…🥰 I’m deducting…2 “Stars“… for all the inconvenience,… but not for the quality!

first I bought the Day Dream in color 822, was supposed to be dark and medium ash blonde...unfortunately I was in such a hurry I opened it only to discover it wasn't any where near that shade, it was too light so I added color, the same shade I use (a medium ash blonde). What a nightmare, I was ADDING color and it all turned gray!!! I used lemon juice with shampoo several times and then eventually added a dark blonde (no ash) and it came out some weird brown color...so that one was ruined. on to the next one, I bought the Hidden Crown Halo in 812 and it blended in with my ends perfectly BUT getting it to fit is crazy. It seems to have only 2 ways it fits, too tight or too loose. Even when I got it to where it matched up to the way tutorial shows it is supposed to fit I can feel it wiggling constantly and it comes all the way around to the ears which makes it really hard to hide (the slightest breeze and your hair goes up and the crown shows) which is another issue, the lengths are ridiculous, I want long hair but I don't want to look like a witch. With that length comes the additional issue of heat, I used to have hair down to my waist and it was thick but this hair is soo thick and heavy that you will sweat and feel overheated (def can't see myself taking this to Grenada with me or to our place in Florida if I'm sweltering in NJ during the winter!) My hair situation is that in which I have naturally wavy but frizzy hair and always blow it out straight Because I am 51 and have loads of gray hair I had gone lightest ash blonde for a while and then noticed it looked ridiculous and my ends were burning (my hair was one length in the back sitting just about 3 inches past my shoulders with some layers to my bangs and it was thick but not like full on thick) The gal at the salon chopped my hair in such a way that it left me with TWO lengths in the back, note I didn't say layers. the first length was right at my shoulder while a huge chunck in the back would barely reach my ears...this left me with thick hair on the top and such thin hair on the bottom you can see through it in photos I've been trimming the bottom so that the "layers" can meet up and it is slow going which is why I turned to extensions. I wanted something to fill in that thin area on the bottom and give me the length I desire without damaging the fragile thin lower hair but so far I've paid almost $800 on what is amounting to a cozy spot for my cat to nestle I so wanted this to work. I gave it 3 stars because the color and quality of the hair is great but the fit and weight is terrible and there is no way to keep it in place nor wear it without feeing self conscious about the side part being so obvious.

The little extras like the hanger, clip, comb were a very nice touch. I liked that better than the halo. I want to love this so much but it’s not practical. It’s too heavy with 16 inch and the halo wire puts a serious red indentation in your scalp. It does itch around the hardware, and the hair is super shiny unlike natural hair which gives it an appearance of synthetic. I have dyed it and it is still shinier than my hair. I would recommend getting the lighter version so it will not cut the circulation off in your head.

The clip ins are great. The halo, not so much. Couldn’t get to fit right and itchy where wire connects. They had accidentally sent a topper instead of the clip ins and were very helpful in making things right.

I am a hairstylist as well and I have read through the reviews seen here. I’m experienced with applying extensions and have had extensions on my own head for ten years. I ordered 22” layered crown and I returned it simply because I felt it was too big for my head. I followed the instruction videos and tried several times to fit it to me but it came too far forward on my temples to look natural, be concealed, or to be comfortable. I couldn’t move it low enough to fit like the instructions said it should without it being right on top of my ears, my ears then caused a bump. Never experienced this with any other type of extensions. I also wanted it to fit low on my head like a headband, but apparently that’s not how you’re supposed to wear it. I wouldn’t have been able to move around freely without this piece popping off my head because of how high you are supposed to wear it and because my ears were forcing it upwards. I do a lot of modeling and spokesmodeling events that have to do with motor sports where I’m moving around a lot and this piece wouldn’t cut it, wouldn’t stay on. The color was spot on, the hair quality is hard to tell without washing and styling several times as extensions hair are coated with silicon to look shiny and perfect and feel silky. I have nice long hair and I only get extensions for curling since my natural hair won’t take a curl but no way to know since I was going to return. Some people commented that the top of the crown had a bunch of short hairs sticking out of it and that is normal for some wefts, this is a weft based unit. People also said their hair had occasional very dark or very light hairs sprinkled in and that’s normal too. Customer service was very polite and helpful with me. I was moving when I mailed my return and with all my stress from that i completely forgot to include some info in the package about who i was and proof of my purchase. I contacted them and they were fine with it, they asked for my tracking info and took care of it all. They do not allow bad reviews on their site, that’s true and it’s shady, why bother to even allow reviews...that’s not how reviews work. This didn’t work out for me but these reviews here are kinda extra. Take them with a grain of salt.

I wrote a review 2/21/18 about my 14 inch Daydream from Hidden Crown, so this is an update. I had only worn them one time for a few hours when I wrote original review, and I’ve had them for about 5 months now so I have a more accurate review to provide. First I want to say, yes I do still think it does look amazing when you put them on. They do blend well with your own hair. Another positive is that the Daydream product has a LOT of hair, even though this is actually their more lightweight product. The quality of most of the hair seems nice, but there were some weird things I noticed only after wearing them. ***Issue #1- dark hairs and weird balls of wax?? Although I ordered the #613 which is pretty much bleach blonde hair, there are random, single DARK black hairs sewn in here and there. I also noticed that NUMEROUs hairs have a dark brown or black “ball” at the very bottom of each strand. It looks like a small ball of dark, solid wax. Kind of looks like someone “cauterized” it, the way you would with a lighter and a stray thread on your shirt to keep it from running/tearing further. There’s a ton of them, and I did notice and take photos right away, but I had already taken the hair out of the package and worn them once by then, and I’m aware of their return policy. I also thought, maybe those little balls will come off the first time I wash them so I’ll just deal with it until then. But they didn’t come off. Even if they did, what the heck is that? Why would they come like that in the first place? You pay $200+ for human remy hair, and I know human hair doesn’t naturally have dark balls of wax hanging at the bottom of each strand of light blonde hair, so I was very disappointed about that. ***Issue #2 - headaches and scalp indent Can only a wear for a few hours, because headaches are almost always an issue. I think this is due to the scalp indent the wire causes. I know there’s a bunch of videos on fit and how to avoid this, and not put too much hair over the wire, etc.... and Ive watched them countless times and followed advice. But it doesn’t matter how many times I adjust the fit/wire, and put barely ANY hair over it, I still have the indent issue. ••••••The wire discomfort issue is not Hidden Crown’s fault, it would be an issue for ANY brand of halo extension•••••• ***Issue #3 shedding At first, I experienced only a little shedding. Everything seemed fine. But after washing it, it sheds like CRAZY. I am very careful with it, use salon brand products, use a wide tooth comb, etc, so I’m not sure what the problem is. Maybe there’s sections of hair that are just not sewn into the lace well enough? I don’t know if this is normal for halo extensions but it seems like the heavy shedding started way too soon and way too easily in spite of gentle washing and handling. The saving grace for hidden crown is that the hair is thick to begin with, so in spite of the shedding- it’s still been wearable so far. In summary, I will say that I still very much like the look and the confidence these give me. I don’t regret buying them. I do regret not giving feedback sooner on the quality issues. I wish I could wear them for longer without having discomfort, but again I think that part has nothing to do with the brand. Would I buy Hidden Crown again? Maybe, because I really love the look, the thick hair, the nice packaging, the videos they provide to try to help. But I’d probably research other brands, and if I did order HC again I would be sure to closely inspect the tips of the hairs before removing from packaging in order to look for those weird dark balls and dark hairs mixed in. And I’d ask for an exchange if I got another set like that.
