Ted Gibson Clip-In Extension System

March 23rd, 2009 by Jeannie

For the first time, after reading Lilan’s post on hair extensions and seeing the beautiful results, I want to try clip-in hair extensions too. As someone who has always wanted long hair but has never had the patience to grow it herself, Ted Gibson’s Clip-In Extension Systems ($149) might be the way to go.

Ted Gibson’s Clip-In Systems come in eight colors. Each of the eight multi-level contoured clip-ins come with two one-inch clip-in accent pieces. The extensions are Memory Style-able and Heat Style-able and suitable for use with hot rollers, curling irons and straighteners up to 320 degrees.

Unlike other clip-ins currently on the market, Ted Gibson’s line contains a sophisticated blend of many colors that make matching and blending easy for a more natural look. The Clip-In Systems come in the following colors:

Reese – Light Medium Golden Blonde
Lindsey – Honey/Strawberry Blonde
Jennifer – Light Blondish/Brown
Julia – Warm Caramel/Medium Brown
Marcia – Copper/Golden Red
Angelina – Chocolate/Dark Brown
Debra – Rich Red/Auburn
Gabrielle – Darkest Espresso Brown

Get Long Locks with Hairdo Extensions

March 20th, 2009 by Lilan

Over the past few weeks I’ve been contemplating whether or not to grow out my hair. Longtime readers of this blog will know that I underwent a major hair change, chopping off my long locks for the first time in over 7 years last March. And while I liked the sassy, short ‘do, there’s not very much I can do with it to change it up when my fancy strikes.

Now, my hair is in that ugly, middle stage where it doesn’t know what to do with itself and I need to decide if I’m going to ride it out and grow it long, or give my mane that trim it so desperately needs.

During my dilemma, I was excited to be given the opportunity to try Hairdo Clip-In Extensions from Jessica Simpson and her hair guru, Ken Paves. I thought this would a fun way for me to see myself with long hair again so I could truly decide if I wanted my flowing locks again.

Here I am with my regular hair as it looks like today. It’s about shoulder length with longer sections around the front of my face.
