Amazing magic hair

Didn't both Jessica Simpson and Jessica Alba each recently cut her hair? How amazing! They were able to grow inches and inches of hair in time for the MTV Movie Awards! Not really, of course.

I'm not a big fan of extensions. I think they look like what they are: wigs. But I do kinda like Simpson's outrageous, over-the-top hair extenders that she wore at the MTV Movie Awards. I mean, if you're gonna wear 'em, WEAR 'EM. Very Cher, mon cherie. Alba's and Duff's, on the other hand, are the typical fair. Artificial-looking horsetails that have to be arranged very carefully in order to look reasonable.

I heard Nicole Richie say that she wears extensions because her hair gets so abused by all the blow-drying, curling, straightening and so on. That may be why Hilary Duff wears them, since she doesn't seem to use them to drastically change her look the way Jessica Alba did. Maybe Jessica Alba just couldn't adjust to her new short hairstyle, after years of having long hair. But I think her shorter style is adorable, fresh and refreshing.

The use of darker extensions in combination with lighter ones is a fun twist. It just seems that if you're going to wear fake hair, it makes sense to, I guess, wear it with aplomb and do something dramatic.
