Would You Pay $46,000 for Hair Extensions?

We have all been guilty of splurging on things but is this too much? Brandi Irwin spends over $40,000 for her hair extensions per year. It is excessive? Maybe. But it seems she can afford it. For me the only real shocker is that I’ve never heard of her before. If someone told me that Beyonce spends $46,000 on her lace fronts and weaves.

How much would you pay to have the hair you’ve always wanted? For some the answer is.  whatever it takes. Brandi Irwin, 28, a foot model and photographer, spends tens of thousands on her hair.  She gets her more locks from stylist Kristina Barricelli and her team at Gemini 14 salon in Manhattan. Brandi’s custom hairdo involves 250,000 strands of hair extensions imported from India and colored in Italy. The extensions are put in strand-by-strand and the process takes nine hours.” “You work hard, you play hard,” Brandi says. “My hair is my biggest accessory.” She says she “can’t put a price” on how it makes her feel. Barricelli says the treatment lasts a few months, which is why the cost adds up.

Lauren Conrad Dishes on Getting Hair Extensions

Perfect Ponytails for Spring

Spring is here and the weather warming up, most of us want to get our hair out of our face. It’s much easier to tie our hair up and head out the door feeling cool and comfortable than it is to style with heating tools hoping the style lasts through the heat and humidity.

The ponytail is a classic style that you can never go wrong with. The style holds well in any weather and looks great for any occasion with a bit of styling and hair product. I’ve listed a few ways to make the classic ponytail different, fun, fresh and perfect for spring.

Low Ponytail
Try moving the pony tail to the side, and add some curls with a curling iron.. If you have bangs, you can slick them back or leave them out. Eva Longoria is pictured above with low side parted ponytail with waves and a teased crown. This glams up the ponytail for any occasion. Nicole Richie is shown with a more casual pony tail, loose waves and a slightly messy and natural feel.

High Ponytail
For a more playful look, try the classic high ponytail. Kate Beckinsale is seen with a bouffant style to add old hollywood glamor to her high ponytail. Lucy Liu is shown above with the ponytail placed high on her crown with her hair wrapped around the base.

• When selecting a color, keep in mind that an exact match may not be possible. Try blending a hair color that is slightly lighter or darker than your own hair, as it will likely look more natural and will add depth and variance to your hair color. 
• When choosing a hair color, keep in mind your skin tone. You'll look best in a hair color that complements your natural skin tone.
  

Hand Tied Weft Versus Machine Weft

A hair weft is the horizontal attachment base that the strands of hair are sewn into. There are two types of hair wefts available on the market, machine and hand tied. The difference between hand tied weft and machine weft is that hand tied wefts are done by hand and are much thinner than machine wefts. Hand tied wefts lay flat against your scalp to give you a more natural look and significantly reduce bulkiness. Hand tied wefts come in pieces of about 24" long; you get about five pieces per pack more or less, depending on the length of the hair. The hand tied wefts must be reinforced before cutting and must be sewn around the weft, not through the weft. You can do this either with a glue (nail or fabric glue works great) or by sewing the weft down before cutting. Machine wefts are done by machine and have a thicker weft. They do not need to be reinforced or secured before cutting and you can sew through the weft.
