Kimarie Teter/Hairlocs

Do you guys really think there is some italian russian or french lady out there growing her hair out and trying to catch and kiss some rich western type money dude all to cut it off and sell it for the equivalent of what must be 10 or so american dollars? These ladies that are in these low economic life situations with lengths of hair keep if for themselves!!!! and for the same reason we want to buy it....The fella's cant get enough if it!!!!

Nothing makes a party tight like Rapunzel in a G string!

and yes there are companies that use the hair of the yak in some of the extensions even if as fillers! why in the heck would somebody who knows even the derogatory popular terms used for hair that is not silky straight.... go off on their own and call the hair texture YAKY? If so they would just call it something like relaxed kinky, afro permed, or maybe even processed nappy....? no but who ever thought of it looked at this grazing animal and said "I know what I'll call the hair I'll call it Yaky" the Yaks underbelly and tail hairs are used in some of these wefts, all you need is a percentage of human hair in the mix to call it human! the hair is processed in the various acid and PH baths and on the wefts if goes!

there are far more ladies in asia who have given up or not feeling the mail order bride thing who are growing it and selling it for what converts to less then a few american dollars! not to mention these ladies that go to these temples thinking that if they make the ultimate sacrifice a woman can make which is giving up her beauty (cutting off the length of her hair) that the forces that be would look kindly upon her and her family situations etc.....

I'm getting off the subject....

what i wanted to say is real simple.....these services are very personal! I have a friend that if she even puts a braid in her hair it breaks and splits and sheds forget about growth....on the other hand I can braid my hair and get great health and growth from the process....find a great stylist who you can deal with that wouldn't dispute you if your unhappy or want your money back....do your own research! know your own hair and don't lie about its history!

better yet, be creative and do it yourself! I think one good rule for any successful style is....

IF YOU CANT DO IT AT HOME..... THEN YOU SHOULDN'T DO IT AT ALL, that goes for relaxes perms colors etc! if you have dark brown hair and want to go monroe platinum blond and it can only be done 80% of the time without incident at the salon but less then 10% at home without total hair loss or disaster then just don't do it! same goes for any service! we are all regular people here and do not have the wonderment of a stylist on call like the celebrities. The occasion will come up for you when you will need to do something to your style yourself! Have you ever seen these ladies when they think nobody is watching? Oparahs, j-lo, paris, brittney, leia rimini, miss jackson.....all of them.....look like who did it and ran, hotter then a hot mess and broke down from the floor down!

so keep it simple but make it fabulous!


thanks for letting me vent!!!

sorry so long!


again I love you ladies!

Remember when I said celebrities trade on their name? They do. And command $10,000+ for a stylist to do their hair and take photos." What? A celeb getting paid to go to a stylist? " You may ask. Well, it happens all the time. They get $10,000 cash (not reported on tax returns, by the way), and the stylist gets her photos of the celeb in her place with her hair. The stylist also gets to pull in 250 more clients for that year alone, plus the oodles of word of mouth publicity, each paying $1500 + for their extensions. See where I'm going with this? In LA, we call them "starf*ckers."

Gee Starlet...who do you think you're talking to? We're not exactly clueless about how it all works.

Unless you get famous and rich real quick, your hair ain't never gonna look like J-Lo, Britty, or Paris-Darling.

Oh, as if their hair is worth emulating! Take a look at the pix on this board if you want to see some incredibly hot hair on some gorgeous women. Then tell Paris and J-Lo to stop on by, too, next time you see them.

If you still want those extensions, I'd say get them once in a while for a special occasion when you're taking photos and you're all dolled up. Anything else is a waste.

Starlet, maybe you missed the fact that for most of us, hair is part of our lifestyle. The object here is to be creative and get the results we want without being taken or wasting money, not to look like some half baked celebrity for some special occasion. Our goal is to have every day be a rockin' good hair day!

But Emma, you're one of the ladies we're talking about!
