Common reactions:
"EWWW, so wait..that's not your hair?" -- Actually, it is my hair. I paid top dollar for it at the hair shop and I now proudly own it.
"Omg can I touch it?" --Touch away, it's human hair, you'll never feel the difference.
"Wait a second, so you just clip in fake hair everyday?" --Not everyday, but some days. Let me just tell you, it's a heck of a lot easier to style hair that's not on your head.
"Is that sanitary?" --as sanitary as your own hair. Probably more so, as I wash it on the reg, and that's more than most people can say.
You see, not everyone was born with Kate Middleton-worthy locks, okay? So, when I came to the realization that I was looking a little bit more like a troll doll than I wanted--I knew something needed addressed.
Insert: human hair extensions. I spent a fair amount of time cruising which selections I wanted, which ones got the best reviews, and how much moolah I was going to pour into this little expenditure. My first set of extensions were from Sally Beauty Supply. They were EuroNext human hair extensions and I loved them. I still do and would totally recommend them for anyone looking to step up their hair game.
Fast forward a year...
When I moved to Detroit, I drove by the same weave and wig shop every time I went to my favorite mall. After half a dozen times, I drove my little behind right up to that store and walked in. And I was greeted by some of the CUTEST ladies I have ever met. They plopped me right down, did a color swatch, and sent me on my merry way. A couple weeks later, I received THE MOST BEAUTIFUL HAIR I have ever known right to my doorstep.
I forgot the part about me paying for either of these--that is neither here nor there. It's an investment, kids, and that's all I'm going to say about that. I personally believe that you can't put a price tag on a good teasing comb or extension set....or hairspray, or curling iron.
Now I guess you want pictures...and what the people want, the people get.

I'm also not opposed to questions..so whatcha got?
I rock a weave too!
ReplyDeleteI've also had sew ins on multiple occasions.
Long hurrrrr don't currrrr ;)
People don't understand until they know the true power of a weave.
Weave makes everything better.
ReplyDeleteExcept that time I was kissing that guy and he went for the head grab, then proceeded to look at me like I was a robot. We dated for a year so I guess it didn't turn out so bad.
Scratch that, he was an ass.
Girl, you would have NO idea you rocked a weave!! It looks amazing (and incredibly natural)! Definitely keeping this in mind if I ever need some extra va va voom!
ReplyDeleteI need weave!
ReplyDeleteThank you post partum hairloss.
YES love this. SOOO many celebs do this. My hair is too long and very rat's nest esque. Yours is gorgeous and awesome.
ReplyDeleteMy question is: could you be prettier?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I need a weave stat!
I NEVER would've known if you hadn't told us! I wore clip-in extensions for my wedding and I loved them. I just don't think I could do it myself though.

I am feeling like I need a weave now... definitely gonna do my research.
ReplyDeleteYoure gorgeous, thanks for sharing =)
I couldnt tell ever. Your hair is amazing!
ReplyDeleteUm, I seriously need to talk to you - rocked a weave many a time...
ReplyDeletehowever my aunt works at a salon and taught me how to glue them in...I'm not a fan...It hurts and they slip out or pull hair out...How does clipping them in work??
I've always been so curious about weave! I have more hair then I know what to do with, but I LOVE pictures like yours when you have it in. My biggest question is... how well does it stay? Do the clips hold really well?
ReplyDeleteYou are one pretty lady, friend!
ReplyDeleteI have a weave too, that I only bought for our wedding. I haven't used it since because I can NOT for the life of me get it to "blend in" How do you style it?
I think you look great with our without the weave! You are adorable, girl. And you are too funny with all of these common questions. Rock the weave!!! ;)

Girl you rock that weave! I never would have guessed and it looks gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteI need a weave so bad, we is yours from? I am worried my hair won't hold curl the same way the weave does so this might look weird?
ReplyDeleteAWESOME.
ReplyDeleteOh my word. Looks so natural!
I'm longing for my hair to grow!
love this blog entry! you're too funny and too cute :) nothing wrong with rocking a weave - the celebrities do it!

Shut up right now.
ReplyDeleteA weave? I need one. Primarily to say I have a weave.
So...tell me this, how do I find a weave shop? Is that really what they're called?
It looks gorgeous! And you would never ever know it wasn't real unless you said something. Since Kate Middleton hair is my goal in life, I think I may have to make a weave investment :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!!! I want one so bad!
ReplyDeleteI want a weave now! Help!
ReplyDeleteBtw, you're gorgeous in those pics, with weave AND without:)
I don't understand why anyone would be grossed out by weave. Do they really think celebrity's hair looks that good naturally? Haven't they noticed that celebs will have short hair one month and the next down to their butt? I used Bobbi Boss Indi Remi weave, and I am proud of it.
