How do models get such gorgeous long hair? Often their stylists use hair extensions. The photo above shows models backstage before the Barbie fashion show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2009 in New York. Extensions were used to create their long ponytails.
Do an Internet search on Google for “hair extensions, New York” and you’ll come up with about 499,000 options. That’s what I did a few weeks ago when I wanted to have long bangs for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2010.
I checked out www.hairextensionsnewyorkcity.net/ (but today, as I’m posting this that site seems to be down). Here’s another link:
Most New York salons charge upwards of $1,200 for a full head of extensions, but hairextensionsnewyorkcity advertises that its prices are 75 percent below average (or about 1/4 of the average rate). The salon also filled my request for “partial bangs” as opposed to doing a full head of hair. The Web site describes their technique and how it works. The stylist attached to my hair strands of human hair (similar to mine in color, thickness and texture).
This was much different from when I first tried extensions in Taiwan. That stylist used Chinese hair, which was straight and bleached and didn’t blend with my wavy, fine Caucasian hair. That time people could tell I had extensions woven in. But so far this time around, no one has noticed my new extensions.
Mine are attached to my hair, but often runway models use extensions that are clipped in. I suggest you try either. The “before” and “after” photos above show how some changed their looks at hairextensionsnewyorkcity.
