Most people who know me know that I’m a chameleon when it comes to hair, and it isn’t entirely because of choice. If only we all had Blake Lively’s mane and needed no more than a brush out to pull off ‘tossled sexy’.
I was born with what the fashion industry calls ‘angel hair’, but make up artists and stylists don’t always mean it kindly. It’s thin, fine, easy to style up and a real pain to style down. Throughout my life, I’ve done it all: shaved it (really-I have shaved it and bleached it a la angsty teenager), dyed it every color, cropped and pixied it, tacked on fake pony tails and clip on extensions to the degree that people forgot what length my hair was, and hid under hats to a degree that would make Isabella Blow proud-all in an attempt to make it look presentable and reasonably healthy. After my 2010 surgery left me in pretty sub par health, it became even tougher to meet the industry norm for ‘hair to style’ when filming odd gigs-and I’m not on camera so often anymore. Basically, I dreaded being on camera-ever. I dreaded auditions. I pitied every stylist who has to deal with my hair.
My newest solution to hopeless hair came to me by a gentle CEO David Lee, whom I contacted for extensions when my fave Dongdaemun vendor went out of business. I love clip on extensions, but they’re bulky and those with thin hair have to worry about the layers showing. David hooked me up with a gift of Human Remy ‘to be colored’ extentions for the time being.
Mr Lee owns Korea Wig, a mass producer of accessories for hair. David has a show room in Seoul, but doesn’t not bother with boutiques. He ships to the UK and N America and offered to sponsor me as I tried his newest product. I ‘go under the stylist’s clutches’ tomorrow, and I’m quite excited. I’ve heard terrible things about extensions-they can weigh heavily on hair causing damage, they hurt, they’re tough to keep up, etc…but Mr Lee assured me that the light weight of this product was perfect for someone with my ‘condition’. We shall see!
I will be snapping up shots of the process and listing the 411: I am told I may expect 3 months with careful handling and care. The system involves double sided tape being sealed with heat.
