To ‘Weave It’ or Not to ‘Weave It’

inspiration + style

When I first started in the industry I was always fascinated by some of the more experienced
models comp cards because they were chameleons with their looks. The fact that they
could completely change their look booked them more print jobs.

The SECRET?? The world of weaves, extensions, falls, wigs, etc.

When I decided to venture into being more of a versatile model, I learned the hard way of
what does and does not work when it comes to choosing extra hair pieces.

Firstly, for your everyday look or when you are going out with friends you can buy
inexpensive pieces as long as you feel comfortable with them. Knock yourself out with
fun wigs and extensions you can buy even at your local drugstore. Synthetic fake pony
tails have always been popular and I have some in my collection that were about $20.
They are fun and for non-professional use.
