when extensions got silly...

dear god, look what ive found

this was taken in the wildcat shop in brighton





after years of mono fibre extensions, i left the hair extension salon and tried out a cheaper form of hair extensions; yarn wool.

we plaited it in for 3 months at a time and the result looked like colourful dreads.

then absolutely everyone started bloody doing it, i realised i looked like an idiot and stopped caring about my hair so much  

lol

ah those were the days.

these were also the days i first met my future partner, who has never been fond of UV colours, and refused to speak to me for ages. hahaha

ah i cant wait to show chris that picture  ;p

dude, your goggles are bigger than mine. but mine have UV eyes on them. nyaah.

i see you have a mono fibre dreadlocked hair piece there.

;p

they are alot lighter than wool, and can look more natural/better IMHO.


Piccadilly, no they're all quite light really.

at that point the underhalf of my head was shaved, so not as much space to put silly wool.

wasnt good in the rain tho  ;p

some people wore too much wool, and you'd end up looking like a sheep. lol

I hate that picture. haha. I don't typically dress like that but I sort of lost a bet with the girl I was seeing at the time. Sad

That's why the look on my face is like "Yeah, yeah. Take the picture." haha
Miss Baby Bones

lol yeah right  ;p


oh dear *wipes tear away*

Dam i can't find any of the silly picts of when I had my blond flat top and huge fake  pony tail out the back.  I thought I looked great but it was highly daft, I am loving the looks.

I miss my old synth dreads, don't think my hair would forgive me for doing that again though.
Miss Baby Bones

Miss Kitty Lou

I have many lol

The night this was taken I didn't have to buy a drink all night because people liked my hair, and then the taxi driver on the way home only charged me half the usual fare because he liked the hair.

hehe, yeah, it was about 5 years ago... i have always been on the look out for anything that hides how fine and straight my hair is... fake dreads was just one of my phases...

I'm really sad cuz I still do this to my hair when festival time comes up as my hair goes poof at the slightest hint of moisture

I actually searched through archives for these photos...





They weren't even proper extensions. It was just a massive pile of wool I stuck on my head. Sort of.

Love it haha.
Fey Tish

hahaha I did that one too!
PrincessKaytie-Leigh

my headband was also made out of a pair of tights.
Fey Tish

Never did that one!
