Not the fake, plastic ones you can pick up for a few bucks anywhere and everywhere. I noticed a Paris Hilton line of these things in a beauty supply store yesterday, too. No, what my stylist was touting is real human hair, grown on real women in India and cut off to send to us hair deprived westerners. Then clusters of strands are actually bonded to the wearer's own hair and there it stays for six to 8 months. You brush with a special brush and wash carefully. And your hair (and their hair) maintains that sexy, just off the beach look that so many celebrities have, also with the help of these extentions.
So what does it cost, I asked, having no intention of gluing someone else's hair to my hair? It's expensive, she said. About a thousand dollars.
A thou sand dol lars.
For a temporary hair enhancer!
Am I just not girly enough? 'Cause that sounds totally insane to me! I'll admit that the results ook very nice but I touched the head of my stylist and it felt like she had small marbles under her own hair, where the pieces were attached. It's not what I'm looking for.
Got an extra grand and want to have that Angelina/Kate/Blake/Penelope thick, fully and sexy hair? Go for it! I'll just stick with my mousse and a round brush, thank you.
