What is the one thing I don’t need more of? No, it’s not shoes. Or graphic tees. Or even plaid. Okay, my husband thinks I don’t need more of those things, but that’s not what I’m talking about…
It’s hair. I have a veritable follicular explosion going on on my head. I’m not complaining; trust me, I am grateful that a major head of hair is one of the only genetic gifts I was given. With that being said, when Irresistible Me first contacted me in regard to collaborating my initial thought was, “Ya, like I need more hair.” But when I saw how drop dead smokin’ hot Suzanne looked rockin’ her extensions I figured I’d give it a shot. Especially since she and I are hair twins with the whole red/blonde ombre thang, and she had her extensions colored to match. I figured I could do the same.
When they arrived I was really impressed with how thick and silky they were. They are made of 100% Remy hair, which in the extension world is a good thing. My stylist had told me to try them out only if they were 100% Remy hair. In any case I’m not necessarily an expert, so I took them to my stylist so that she could both show me how/where to place them and also trim them to match the lines of my cut. She was highly impressed with the quality and said that the Irresistible Me extensions were even better quality than the ones that she owns. That’s saying something since hair is, you know, kind of her area of expertise.
These shots were taken after she had trimmed them for me. Yes, I know that you can tell the difference between the extensions and my hair. They hadn’t been colored yet, but I wanted to do kind of a before and after for you. And besides, I was kind of loving having my long hair back and was feeling all kinds of boho fabulous with my pink cami, kimono, Birks and long flowy tresses. I’m in the process of growing it and this was like a little shortcut. I’m going to color them later this week and then I’ll do a second post next week to let you know how they took the color. Never fear my friends, I’m not cluelessly going to color my own extensions. I don’t know whether or not I’ve mentioned it before, but I do my own color. Yes, even the ombre. I’ve been coloring my own hair since I was 14 so I’ve got some experience under my belt. I’m pretty confident I can dye these babies to match my hair. I also want to keep them in all day so that I can fill you in on the comfort level, and in light of the fact it’s still over 90 degrees the last thing I want on my head this week is extra hair. Because seriously, right now shaving it off doesn’t sound like a bad idea. Stay tuned for Part Two of my extension adventure….
