Last July, Hyena Sis called me to tell me about a recent purchase she’d made. Real hair extensions! Because they’re made of real hair, they can be curled, washed, straightened, and styled just like the rest of your hair. 
Hyena Sis has the same hair color as I do, although I’ve dyed mine a few (OK, a lot) more times than she has, so my ends are a little bit lighter than the rest of my hair. But, because she’s a good sister, she offered to let me borrow them from her for the wedding. Hooray!
Mr. H was not on board with this when I first mentioned it. He said he liked my normal hair. Duly noted.
My current hair
The extensions are long enough that they’d probably look a little weird if I chopped my hair off and tried to pull them off, but if I let it keep growing, they’d probably look pretty natural. Hyena Sis is also considering cutting them to be a little bit shorter. But it’s cool to know that it’s an option!
Extensions! (all photos personal)
Obviously I’d like my hair to be curly, which will probably make the extensions blend in better as well.
Would you try extensions for your wedding hair?
I think they look great! Once you style your hair curly or even just add a little wave to it they will blend in perfectly. Even with the way your hair is now it just makes it look like you have a layered cut. I’m sure you can also find a good hairdresser that can blend them more naturally. The color is pretty spot on too. Good luck!
wow. i can’t believe how natural they look. Once your hair is styled i think they’d be awesome.
I like them a lot. You now have (what I’ve been calling it for the past year and so desperately have been trying for) wedding hair!
personally: def not my “thang” but if you love it, go for it! They look fab!
They look great! The color of the extensions is great! I agree with you once you curl your hair then the extension will blend in with the rest of your hair! I think I’m going to go with hair extension also! I’ve been trying to grow mine out but it hasn’t gotten the length I want it to be!
Those are really neat! They blend in so well with your natural hair color. Could you tell us the brand?
I’m contemplating using extensions myself, yes. I have very fine and thin hair, I never do anything to it beyond washing and drying (mainly because I’m completely clueless) so I REALLY want to have curly hair and feel feminine on my wedding day. Extensions are the only way that’s possible.
The extensions look great! I am using extensions on my wedding day and we have similar looking hair and they looked fabulous during my hair trial. In the pictures, it blended so perfectly that I couldn’t tell where my hair began and the extensions ended. For those considering extensions, but concerned about the cost, I found mine on EBay at a much lower cost than what I was able to find in stores.
Ah, I’ve been away from WB for a while and I haven’t “met” you! I’m an OU alum too - BOOMER SOONER! : )
@Kathyf1323: Thanks!
@futuremrshc: I’m not sure, but I’ve emailed Hyena Sis to find out what brand they are, and if she knows I’ll send you a PM.
@breckbride: That’s a great tip!
@soonerpsych: Nice to meet another Sooner in the hive! Boomer Sooner!
It looks really natural. It just looks like you have layers in your hair.
Love, love, LOVE the extensions! I’m thinking of doing them for our wedding too, but your pics make me want them even more!!
@Sunlavender: I was thinking the same thing!
I’m so impressed! Extensions are still a bit of a mystery to me, so I’m very curious to see how they work if you choose to use them!
@Miss Tartlet: This was the first time I’d ever tried them! All they are is hair strands attached to those “snap” clips, and you just arrange them under the top layer of hair!
Those look great! I’ve been contemplating extensions myself… I have a friend who is competing for Miss Texas who showed me these. Her’s look very natural and were relatively inexpensive at Sally’s!
Those look awesome on you! I’m wearing some for my wedding, too. 
I am all in for them…. I have some and i am going to use them also….they look perfect and i am also having my hair down and curly…good luck
They look great! With a little blending and styling you are good to go. Extensions are a great idea for weddings. Clip ins or semi permanent.
Wow! They look great! I really can’t tell you’re wearing them- they just look like you have layers! I will also be wearing extensions for the big day- I bought the human hair wholesale at a wig store and then had a good friend sew the clips to it. My only complaint is that I get a mega bad headache from the extra weight…. *sigh* the things we do for beauty!
I do pageants and I also have very fine hair that doesn’t hold volume well at all and I use extensions to help me with that problem. And I love my extensions!!!! And yes when your hair is curly they blend in so well! Clip-in extensions are a great way to go, just make sure they match your hair color and are an appropriate length for you. Ask your hairstylist to help you out. Usually they will even highlight your extensions to match your natural hair/highlights.
