Brazilian Remy Clip ins - a review

Another post in six days...you guys are getting quite lucky. But seriously I had to do a post today to share a about my experience with the Beautiful Brazilian Remy Hair clip ins that I got to review yesterday If you're thinking of investing in a pack, you should find this review useful. Your feedback, questions , of course, are always welcomed.

Length - 18 inches, I was offered the 22 inches but I wasn't yet ready for that length
Colour - A number 2 that looks like number 4. It happens sometimes depending on the brand of hair that you're buying. That's why it is important for you to match the hair with yours rather than just buying based on the colour you're accustomed to.
Texture - bone straight.
Clip in pieces - 7
Pros - Hair feels awesome. I washed it before I put it on and got no tangles.  
          Clips are comfortable and easy on the scalp,
         Blended in perfectly with my natural hair colour.
Cons - Too little body in hair wefts
           Wefts too short

 When I first saw the hair in the pack I immediately knew that it wasn't enough to give me a full-body look - even though the wefts were doubled. When I started clipping the pieces in, my fears were confirmed.
Another thing I noticed was that were not enough long wefts pieces in the pack - only one piece had four clips, two had two clips, another two had two clips and there were  two once inch pieces- certainly doesn't make for a full head of hair. Still I have my ways to work things out. My own hair is neck length at the back and shorter at the front so I was also looking for body, and not just length, with this hair.
On my first attempt to install the clip ins , the back of my head had the body while the front had none. On my second attempt it was in reverse.
Finally I parted my hair horizontally just above my ears and I started my first row. Usually when I wear clip in pieces I start them at just above my neck.   I worked my way up to the top of my head until I was finally comfortable with the look in the mirror. The end result was pretty good , given the small amount of hair, at least from the front view. The back, however,was scant.
If you're going to invest in this hair I think two packs would give you a better look then one  If you can't afford two packs right away, cut the clip ins pieces to a length that is a little longer than your own hair. This would give you the thick look that you desire.  Here are some photos of me wearing the hair. I'd like to hear what you think.
