My Funky New Haircut - pics

This is what I did today!

I had been wearing 18" virgin indian hair for the past 12 weeks but it was so much work keeping up that long hair, that I just got tired of it.  You know, the blow drying, the blending, the curling....*whew*!

So, I decided to take it all out and get a funky new haircut. But, of course, since I have the suckiest hair in the world, no haircut ever works on me.  I was inspired by Ashley Simpson's new haircut in the latest issue of Elle:

(I'm really not a fan!  Honest!  But I did like her hair!), but this is how my hair turned out!  Yuck!  I have the finest, thinnest hair ever!

So, I decided to take a 3 inch section of my indian remy weft,

and make some pre-tips using E6000 (Thanks Kalika!)

Then, I installed the pre-tips using sh****ies:

I cut the hair to blend it, and viola!  A cool, funky haircut, and it actually looks like I have hair!

Thank you all SO much for all the info and help from this board.  I will never have to have bad hair again.  This board ROCKS!

Awesome!!!

That is a great look, good job!!!!

Yay!!!!! I totally know what you mean about hair care for long hair. I've
only had mine two weeks, and although I love love love how it looks I'm
stunned at how much frigging WORK it takes to keep it up. The first few
days I didn't even realize you had to brush it often to keep the tangles
out! There were all these knots, and I'm thinking, hey, what's this. And
the blow dry time! Jeez, I'm getting arm muscles from hoisting that blow
dryer around so much. You women with really long hair have new-found
respect and admiration from me for all you go through to keep it looking
pretty.

Your natural hair looks exactly like mine. I used to wear a bob like your
new do and loved it. You've inspired me to keep growing mine and to
consider the alternative of enhancing my own volume with some strands
once it gets to that long bob length. My guy just adores that style.

Monsterita, your new hair looks great! Thanks for the reminder that if I
weenie out on long, full hair that I've got an option that's pretty darned
cool.

Thanks ya'll!  I only used six strands, but I made them pretty thick.  I got the E6000 glue at Michael's craft store.

Thanks that was a great explanation!!!

Wow.  You look AWESOME.  Watch out Ashlee.

How funny.  I was at Michael's this afternoon and had the E6000 in my hand.  I was looking for a good glue for my hair flowers.  I went with a mini glue gun instead but I was intriqued.  I had no idea you could use it on hair. 

Thanks for the demo.  The photos are awesome.

My hairdresser used texturizing scissors on the ends, but I just blunt cut the extension hair.  The indian hair doesn't seem to clump at all.  I love it!  It's so swingy!

 

 

Good job, love that look!

Just too cool!  The hairstyle looks really good on you - aren't extensions just a lifesaver?
