But then three years ago, I decided to chop off my hair to a long bob — and it was my biggest regret. I have been trying to grow my hair out ever since, but as everyone knows, the journey from long bob to long hair, don’t care can take FOREVER. My friends who have extensions recommended Bellami hair, the gold standard. But those extensions can get expensive — I needed inches fast, and I needed them affordable. Now I know what you’re thinking — $13 for hair? Really? But honestly, I didn’t care. I looked at it as a one night thing that I’d be able to take out if they didn’t quite work for me. What I wasn’t expecting was to fall in LOVE. The only problem is that, because the extensions come in seven individual pieces, you may need another person to help you attach them all properly. The good news is that you don’t have to be a stylist to make that happen — my dad put the extensions in for this photo, and he has NO experience with clip-in hair. Left side: natural hair Right side: wearing extensions Even after extended wear, these $13 extensions are still shiny without looking fake — they honestly blend perfectly into my hair. And the best part is that they’re so comfortable. I can have the Rapunzel hair of my dreams without injuring my scalp.
