06 Feb BeautyStat Community Shares & Reviews Their Use of Wigs, Weaves And Hair Extensions
OK Beauties, be honest. Since some of us were not blessed with the longest, thickest or fullest of tresses, we want to know: Have you tried wigs, extensions, weaves or even Bumpits? And if so, did you like the look? ‘Fess up, now. We’re all friends, here. December 13, 2010 at 8:26am
Kimberly Couponing Andrews I use bumpits and extensions! Both of which i used to ridicule constantly. No one can tell I wear them. I use the jessica simpson extensions for more body. It all looks very natural and does not contradict my professional look.

Aimee Bay Aviles I must confess…I’ve used the dreaded bumpits…My hair is healthy and long but not very thick…I’d love to try extensions too but I’m afraid of the damage they might cause.

Keisha Joy I wore a weave for almost three and a half years straight. Looking back at pictures I love it but I am okay with my short ‘do. It’s a lot less work IMO.

Kimberly Couponing Andrews The Jessica Simpson extensions clip in…so no damage! I recently order them off of ruelala when they were 60% off. Now I wish i ordered more because they match perfect and are easy. I just fiddle wtih it alot throughout the day out of fear that it is not in secure.

Jennifer Nall ︵✭ I bought Bumpits when they first came out. They break your hair unless it’s perfectly straight and doesn’t move during wear. (I can’t see how cheerleaders have used these-especially if they tumble-ouch!) Then Snooki ruined the trend.

Lydia Johnson Wore wigs before, I like the look but I started to sweat and it was uncomfortable decided if anyone don’t like how my hair was then that too bad. Thought about extensions, but couldn’t afford it.

Jessica Lynn ^aimee- I too am afraid of the damage of bonds and glue. I have tried the pony tail extension pieces and loved them but only around the house. Never went out w them becus I was afraid of them looking too “fake”. I hear good things about jessica simpsons hair do extensions so I. Think I may give those a whirl…

Kimberly Ann Lowe I agree with Jennifer & Lydia. Want to try extensions ($) & Bump Its (Snooki ruined, thanx be-otch), haven’t though.. my tresses are long but “Oh so thin” if I straighten it, if I leave mine “all natural”, it looks thick & full… and wild. Hair help please… ; )

Amira Little As long as you don’t sleep with extensions in and they are clip ons you won’t damage your hair.

Kimberly Couponing Andrews Kimberly, straightening your hair will make it so flat. Do you try to blow dry it straight instead? Maybe spray in some voluminizer or root lift first? ior leave it natural, but not so wild. Just add curls with your straightening iron at the end of your strands. I personally like using the bump its. And it is fun to play with extensions that clip in when you can find them on sale.

Renee Maudlin Farr I tried a hair piece. Look horrid. Did not look real to me no matter what the sales people said. I am just not a long hair girl though I dream of it. Of course perms in the 80’s and 90’s helped me out a bit.

Solessence News The first time I had extensions they were terrible (ten years ago). Loved them this time around. Color match, texture match and curl match are CRUCIAL to a great experience! You also need to take care of them.

Rebecca Brazil i have thick, but extremely fine hair…ive tried everything and while my friends say they cant tell its fake i still think it looks comepletely unnatural. i guess i will stick with thickening spray and crimping the roots below my top layer for a little extra boost….

Robin Dean Chester Thick hair is not that great ladies. Especially when it is frizzy and you can’t do anything with it. I am tired of ponytails or gel that only looks good for an hour or two then looks like a mop. Since my chi broke I can’t afford a straighner that works on my super thick mess. Even when I did straighten it was time consuming and only lasted when weather conditions were right. 🙁

Had to comment on this one. I’ve used it all, but mostly due to episodes of extreme hair loss since 16. The best, most natural and easy to manage was called invisible hair integration. More than just extensions as it attaches for several mo…nths and can cover whole head. But my derm hubby thought the adhesive used for attachment wasn’t helping hair regrowth and possibly hurting. Now I use custom made european human hair pieces. Even the best in the biz can’t tell they are hair pieces but gals, there’s nothing like your own hair! Short or long, thick or thin! Hoping that day comes for me again!See More

MichElle L Lawson I love wigs when I need to let my natural hair rest or grow out. I like changing my look on a weekly basis, and for once I’m not dyeing my real hair all the time.

Mishell Erickson I love wigs, used to have a couple. But part of their appeal was that they were so obviously fake–more for a costume-y, club look than day time. Short hair just feels right for me–but I love to see creative, outrageous looks. Get it, girls!

Dinah ‘Raekwon’ Hall I shall confess, I love 1/2 wigs! I have VERY short hair and shaved sides (Mohawk) and it still looks natural. (Yes it’s a 1/2 wig in my pic too)
