Final Thoughts

When I emerged from the salon, my head was noticeably heavier, but damn did I feel good. I expected I'd look so out of place — like I was trying to be a pop star, only without any of the qualifications to do so — but the extensions looked so real, nobody could tell where my natural hair ended and where the new hair began.

Let me say this: J. Lo and Ari, I finally understand the hype. I was like a new person that night when we went out dancing, where you can believe I whipped my hair back and forth with fervor.

Come bedtime, though, I couldn't wait to get them out — and felt a full five pounds lighter whenever I did — and vouched to save myself the headache by only wearing these on special occasions. Even though my lob has kept me satisfied for the long haul, turns out I can also appreciate a quickie.
