My client sent me hair through the post. Outside of Marsha's world, it is also known as those clip-on DIY hair extensions. Currently, she sells them here and is looking to expand, I think.
To be honest, I've never dealt with fake hair before. I mean, I have....but not when it comes on a clip or anything. You should have seen how we tried to put the hair on!! Gord! The maid, in particular, was fascinated by it clipped it all the way over all my hair making me look like pontianak (ghost)! and then we slipped it to the side and then over the hair line....somehow I had to say that it was the most unnatural looking fake hair EVER!!
I was wrong.
And then I go to....hehehe....you guessed it....YouTube (but of course!) and discovered how to clip them. You're supposed to hide the sucker pins under your real hair, dudettes!! Oh. I see. Now I go make myself look and sound absolutely caveman.
Anyway, you wouldn't believe it (and I don't do commercials) but the hair is really, really, REALLY soft. And the funny thing is that the shade is exactly the shade of my faded-out-auburn-black hair! So, when I clip it on right, it actually looked quite....hhhmm....interestingly real.
I figured that it depends on how my actual hair behave on that particular day. The real hair and hair extension have to blend in together. So, when my hair is misbehaving, it won't go with the hair extensions. And my hair taming skills is....to say the least....shitty.
Anyway, that's it, folks. Next time you see me, don't be surprised if I suddenly sprouted long hair.
Vivien, if you are reading this....is this the way the hair is supposed to look? So scared that I am clipping it all wrong.
I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme...

yo have to flatten(with a straightener) your own hair for it to blend well.well, usually i will curl them together.
i suppose you do not have time for them :P but they are very useful when attending a function or dinner.
