I know exactly what you mean Kami! Same here!
Fletch, you're quite handsome without the toupe. I say stay as you are! If it makes you feel any better, my husband has less hair than you!
However, you could always go try some one just to see what you think. You might nix it right away then!

Well, my hairpiece came today and I'm not very happy with it. It has a single, long tong-like pick that you're supposed to tuck inside a french roll. My hair isn't long enough for a french roll. What I ended up doing is twisting it with a small butterfly clip and sticking it in. It doesn't blend well with my own hair. The color is pretty good, but the piece isn't very curly and sparse. It will do for now, but I think I will order something else after the next payday.
Aw man.. sorry it didn't stand up to your expectations. At least you are able to decide more on the color when you order another.
Even if you don't wear it much now, you might later! Just add it to your stash!
Have you tried looking at the cheap ones at Sally's Beauty Suppy? They might do in a pinch, that's where most of mine are from.

KamiKat, I have one just like you're talking about and I have the same problem. I bought it because it matched so well, not realizing it had to be worn with a french twist. If you figure out a way to wear it, Please let me know, I would love to be able to wear this one.
I think it depends on the length of your hair. What I did today was pull my hair into a ponytail, then use a small butterfly clip to pin my pony higher on my head, then I shoved the stick between the butterfly clip and my scalp. You can see the clip underneath the faux hair, it's the best I have been able to come up with. My hair reaches just to the collar, so with it flipped up, it's only a tiny tuft and is completely hidden by the faux hair. If your hair is longer, this might not work.

Love my fake braid!
I got it for my wedding 15 years ago (needed an anchor for the biggest Spanish comb in the world), and I wear it a lot in many ways! Big chignon, over the top of the head, un-braided and stuffed in a snood... so useful. That way I don't have to have the pain in the girdle of really long hair, and can still look like I do.
As i am graying, I use Halloween silver hairspray on a toothbrush to add straks to it, so it keeps matching me.

Not a big fan of the Jessica Simpson ones...a lot of the time the texture and color is never real enough.
I got some nice ones @ Sally Beauty Supply when my hair was shorter, now it's about the same length but I still wear them sometimes when I go out for volume. They always seem to be on some sort of special too.

I forgot! The best thing about them is you can dye them! I TORTURED my brunette ones trying to get them (and me ) back to blonde...They held up really nice and while they were hard to lighten and I just finally went and bought some new blonde ones, they still grabbed on to the color quite well.
They come in a ton of different colors with natural looking highlights and have clips right on them.

I have clip on extentions but my hair is so thick that they just don't blend in. I can use them for victory rolls with the back in a snood or braids but that's about it. I have head dread extentions and braids in the past and nothing has really worked except clip on ponytails.

Hi I was wondering if anyone had purchased the bangs. I don't mean to sound dense but how do those work? Would they not look like an animal is sitting on your head?

No, I tried but I (and the extensions) ended up with like a wacky orangey color so I dyed it darker to cover it up for new years haha. But I was the one doing it wrong, I was an idiot when I was trying to go back to blonde. You can still dye them as long as you know what you're doing...I promised to never do my own after that.
I wash them with my own hair and then style them, as long as I do something with them they blend right in...Hot rollers are my favorite.

I have the clip on extentions from Sally's. My hair is thick and will hold curls forever but the curls in the extentions fall out rather quickly. I have trimmed them to between 8-10 inches so they are not very long. Any suggestions for keepin the curl in human hair extentions?

Do you wash them? Maybe because they are so similar to my real hair in that they don't hold any curl, but I can blend them in well. I treat them just how I treat my real hair, I wash/dry/use product...Probably isn't so great cause I can't trim them as much as I trim my own hair, but I feel I can't wear them if they're on a different cleanliness level.
