Jessica Simpson Hair Extensions



Recommended Posts

Yeah She, I saw them at Price Attack at Fountain Gate (yes, of Kath n Kim fame).

The trouble is my hair has such a frizzy fuzzy texture, that even though I straighten it to look decent enough, it just would NEVER blend with smooth hair extensions curly or straight. I would always have a big demarcation with my hair.

Ha Fountain Gate!!! Classic. I didn't make it to a mall with a Price Attack today to have a look.

My hair is VERY long as it is (probably slightly longer than Fairy's in the pics above with her extensions in). So I'd probably just get them to thicken it up, cos it thinned out a lot when I was first banded and it never grew back. It was super thick before!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I'm so glad that there actually IS a Fountain Gate! And is Fountain Lakes a real suburb? Those people must have been PISSED about being paid out so much in Kath and Kim.

Made my day!

On topic -- I have a set of Jessica Simpson extensions, but I'm not a huge fan. My hair was quite thin to begin with, pre-banding, which is why i used clip-in extensions. The JEssica Simpson ones were so thick that they showed a definite "line" between my thin hair up top and this voluminous mass where they started. And they're much more expensive here. Grr.

I was always a big user of clip-in individual swatches -- they look fabulously natural because you can place them all around the head and use as many or as few as you need.

FYI Aussies -- also available at Price Attack! $89 for synthetic, $299 for human hair. I have both. Synthetic wear out faster and tend to get a bit ratty after 6 months if you're using them every day. Human hair are harder to take care of and still get the natural hair problems ie frizzy in humid weather, flat in the rain, etc, but they can by dyed, blow dried, curled etc which synthetic cannot.

BUT this info is all irrelevant to me because I've cut my hair super short and I now cannot wear any of mine!

Lol, annie, yes there's really a Fountain Gate. Its in the heart of suburban Narre Warren, there's no such suburb as Fountain Lakes. But its pretty stereotypical. I've seen filming going on there, but most of it is actually done at Southland, not Fountain Gate at all.

I dont think people get pissed at being made fun of (I mean, there's nothing else noteworthy about Narre Warren, roflmao!). That's the Aussie sense of humour isnt it? I remember watching Hey Hey its Saturday many years ago when they were in America and absolutely NOBODY cracked a smile, and in fact got very aggressive when the Red Symons (on Red Faces) took the piss out of them. The poor things just didnt understand that the whole POINT of going on Red Faces was to get abused by Red or that there was ever a show called New Faces with Bert Newton and that it was a satire based on that. Most Aussies find that sort of thing hilarious, even when they're the one being abused!

That's why Kath n Kim will NEVER translate well into an American show. Sorry, it might be funny but it will never be quintessential Kath n Kim because its all about Aussie suburbia and that's totally unique. They nailed it exactly in that show! But people just dont understand that its a caricature, that we all have these little bits of it in us, but we're not all complete bogans like Kim, lol.

But what Aussie doesnt get driving round in the Barina to get your nails done and have a dimmie down at the shops? And even pick up a few hair exten-shuns at Price Attack!

You look fab Fairy!

She, I think I saw them in Price Attack (do you have Price Attack down there?) It might be worth going in and having a squizz.

OK so I'm going to ask. What is "squizz"? Half of the vernacular in this thread had me perplexed! :crying:

Jachut - what's a dimmie? I love slang; esp from outside the U.S.!!

Southern Americans should band together and start speaking in colloquialisms! A business friend in Chicago likes for me to use our phrases b/c they amuse her so. Speaking of...I need to send her a new one soon!

OK Southerners - have y'all heard the phrase, "ain't much punkin"? My cousin used that one lately and I had no idea what he was talking about!

Fairy - very cool re: extensions! They clip in, right? Is the clip like a barrette?

I'm like Libra - the hair frizzes, esp during the summer. I have fine hair but it's fairly thick thankfully. I may recommend these to a gf tho b/c she definitely has "male" pattern baldness going on. I feel for her; it's really really bad.

Having a squizz is having a look.

Dimmie = dim sim. YOu probably call it dim sum. There's the true chinese version and there's the junk food, sitting in the bain marie at the footy club canteen all day made out of lord knows what deep fried version. They're freaking fantastic, lol. But impossible to eat with a lapband. Instant PB, lol.

I am just loving the word "footy" - it's killing me! The men in my family are all such football fans so it'll be fun to call it "footy" like it's some cute infant footwear! (Football is my favorite sport but I don't take it as seriously.)

Jachut - I like way too many fried foods. Mentally maybe I'll just take a huge leap and say that all fried foods will make me PB once I'm banded!! :tongue2:

Hundreds of thousands of Aussie men would cry if they read "footy" and "cute" in the same sentence! :tt2:

Hmm, maybe that's why I'm not married...b/c I don't know men!!!

Footie pajamas here are what infant-toddlers wear to bed!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
