My nonpolitical observation today. Is anyone else tired of seeing EVERY woman of every age wearing hair extensions?

[hlthe2b]

I am uncharacteristically home at lunch time today and flipping through the noon channels--every single local news female anchor and weather person is wearing hair extensions down almost to their waist--even the older women.

Like tattoos, everyone is free to sport their own "look," whether flattering or not, but this just seems like celebrity culture/"influencers" gone crazy.

Okay. Tear into me if you like, but it is just a trend that I had not been hyperaware of--until now.

Certainly not the worst one, mind you, as at least it doesn't involve plastic surgery, but...

[sinkingfeeling]

1. Not me. I don't even know how they're fixed to your head.

[hlthe2b]

2. Not quite sure how they are affixed makes a difference, but...

Typically glued to one's own hair for finer hair. Other techniques for coarse hair. These are not braids...

[cloudbase]

3. . . .everyone is free to sport their own "look,". . .

That's where it begins and ends for me. It's nothing I'd concern myself with.

[hlthe2b]

5. I believe I said that. I likewise believe everyone is free to have a respectfully expressed opinion. Do you not?

[poli-junkie]

4. Homeland Security Secretary Christine Noem

looks ridiculous in her hair extensions, along with puffy duck bill lips and face lift à la Kimberly Guilfoyle

[Duncanpup]

6. Not sure

If I’d know they were extensions

[hlthe2b]

8. Hint. If they had chin-length or so hair a few weeks before and now waist-length, they are extensions.

[Duncanpup]

22. True.

What I ment was on woman I’ve never seen before i could never known difference my friend

[Basso8vb]

7. Yikes...

[hlthe2b]

10. Do you need a fainting couch?

???

[eShirl]

9. it can take several years to grow it out to that length naturally

people don't like waiting if they don't have to/ can afford it

[hlthe2b]

12. Sure. I guess I am of a more "individualist" generation where we really didn't want to look like clones

of each other, so it is just unusual to me, much like those who follow the Kardashians and other "influencers" routinely.

[eShirl]

15. people have been enhancing their hair look since way long before the Kardashians arrived on the scene

personally, I cut my own hair couple times a year

[hlthe2b]

17. I don't see the connection. How does cutting one's own hair or otherwise styling equate to

adopting an identical look--in this case, hair extensions down to your waist--as everyone else one works with or is 'influenced" by on tv or internet?

Certainly nothing wrong with cutting/styling one's own hair in my book. That would seem the very definition of individualism.

[eShirl]

24. What I am saying is, to each their own.

Sorry.

[yorkster]

11. The Rapunzel look. You're right

It's everywhere. Didn't actually know it was extensions.

[EarthAbides]

13. Such a waste

Spending money on hair extensions and fingernails is something I really really don't understand.

[hlthe2b]

14. ...

Yeah. I'd better keep mum on the fingernail extensions as I've apparently already irritated a few with the hair extension comment and lack of love. LOL

[3catwoman3]

20. When I see people with what I consider...

…to be ridiculously long fingernails, the nurse in me can’t help but wonder how they can adequately perform certain aspects of personal hygiene.

[birdographer]

16. I'll take women in clearly phony hair

over 60-year-old men with deep chestnut locks any time. An aged, lined face with the hair of a high school kid.

[hlthe2b]

19. LOL

[MIButterfly]

18. My mother used to say

"People are free to wear whatever they want as long as they don't make other people puke."

She was quite the philosopher.

You are entitled to your feelings and opinions. Nobody should "tear into" you for it. Everybody has something that they're tired of seeing or hearing. You just keep on keeping on.

[Ritabert]

21. I hate the trend particularly on TV actresses

You've got police and FBI agents running around with loose long hair. Totally unbelievable in a job where you have to run and chase criminals. Get a short do or tie it back.

[doc03]

23. Never noticed women wearing hair extensions.

[Comrade Citizen]

25. Ukrainian girls sell their hair for these

39. Here's a better link ...

https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/2016-11-21/ukraine-finds-a-place-in-the-hair-extension-industry

It's no big deal, women have been selling their hair for centuries. In just about every country in the world.

[aeromanKC]

26. What's a hair extension?

[Iris]

27. I actually turned off the election coverage before it got bad for that very reason

The female anchor looked ridiculous. Had the extensions and a skirt with bangles on it.

[Beachnutt]

28. To each his own, kind of like wearing sagging pants

I suppose.
I thought about wearing my pants inside out.
Wth....

[Peregrine Took]

29. Lord. Yes!!!

What is going on? They’re everywhere republicans and Dem!!!
Are we sheeple?
I always heard in conservative times and men are super dominant women go with the long hair and vice versa: with women with short hair.. women are stronger.

It’s a complete joke!! What a bunch of conforming idiots.

[Wounded Bear]

30. I probably couldn't tell whether they have those or not...

[chouchou]

31. I admit to wearing wigs. (Paula Young) but, going to the trouble..

..of dressing-for-unbelievable-success is not for me.

[RussellCattle]

32. I think if a woman has fake eyelashes, fake hair color, fake boobs, a rebuilt nose, tattooed eyebrows,.....

………eye shadow and mascara, Botox injections, numerous piercings and tattoos, and spends more than an hour every day “doing her makeup”, that a few hair extensions should be no problem. 😉

[hlthe2b]

33. That's definitely a predominant MAGA style...

but I was trying to be "apolitical..."

[Polly Hennessey]

34. I 'm tired of the long straggly hair, extensions or not.

[Xoan]

35. Hyperbole much?

[hlthe2b]

36. You can ignore any post here. No one is making you read nor comment.

But, I can assure you that everyone will take note of your rude retort, so congratulations. Well done...



I remember you when you were a pretty jovial GeorgeGist.. I miss him... sigh...

[Hekate]

37. Meh. It's a fashion fad & it will pass. It's not ducklips or chin implants.

[pansypoo53219]

38. the gwyneth oscar stringy hair trend should have died 2 decades ago.
