I've been contemplating about what to do with my hair... feels like it needs a little makeover.
Cut it shorter? Nooooo.
Colour it? But I like it black. (All the Miss Universes' hair are black.)
Then an article in this month's CLEO magazine sorta gave me an idea and I started doing some research on the best places in Singapore to get... you guessed it - Hair Extensions!
Actually at first I still wasnt too sure cos I'm afraid it would look too fake and some reportedly said that it would be painful (when they braid the extensions to your hair) and it would be tough to maintain. Plus, to do the entire head would cost quite a bit. After snooping around some online forums, I found out a little more about where to go and where NOT to go. For example - a few girls recommended a salon in Clementi called 'Gracious Image' or something like that but when I called the salon, there was no answer so maybe they've already closed down. Another forum member warned against this particular hair extension shop in Far East Plaza, saying that they are dishonest and would make you spend more than what was promised.
But the deal clincher was when later that night as I was surfing for porn and stumbled upon this video on Tube8 that made me scream - "I want my hair like that!!!!" (see below)
She looked soooooooo fucking hot (this, coming from a straight (maybe bi-curious) girl!) and her hair, man!!! I was sold. I had to get long hair like THAT.
So the very next day, I headed to Far East Plaza to hunt for the best deal to get me-self hair extensions. I was very careful not to walk pass the shops which I have been warned against, but after surveying a few other shops, they didnt seem to have the braid-extensions in my hair-type, and only had those clip-on types which I had decided against cos I thought it would be troublesome to put on myself.
After going around the entire mall, I was back at level 2 and that's where I walked into this shop that looked pretty decent, with a shop assistant that could communicate in decent English and had quite a good range of hair-extension types. I asked for braid-in hair-ex in my hair type and again, they don't have it. She recommended that I try the clip-ons and offered to try it on me and see how I liked it. She didnt seem too pushy so I agreed to let her fix it in my hair. When she was done and I looked at myself in the mirror, I fell in love with myself *LOL*.
I tried hard not to look too pleased and negotiated the price. For a set of 2 hair extension pieces (1 long, 1 short) was $150. My budget was $200. SOLD!
The quality of the hair felt almost natural and it blended in seamlessly with my natural hair. I told the shop assistant I wanted to put it on right away and she helped me to fix it on nicely and even used the curling thong to set the curls to perfection. I asked her if I could come back next time and get her to put it on for me again plus the curling and she said it would cost about $15. Not too bad at all! Anyway, here's how it looks (see below. Pardon the mosaic. I'm camera-shy)
I totally love the makeover! Am not the sort who sits and wait around for my shoulder-length hair to grow out so this definitely works for me. Also, I'm glad I got the clip-ons cos I only plan to wear my hair on 'jobs' so the transformation really helps me morph into 'character'.
So far I've only worn this look once, which was last Thursday. I attempted to put it on myself and it wasn't too hard. I was only afraid if it falls off in the midst of sex or if he's a hair-tugger. Erkks, that would be awkward.
So I met up with this English guy (my fave) last Thursday evening. As I was strutting in my heels and my new crowned glory down the street to the hotel, I was approached by a girl who was doing some heart foundation charity thingy (I've been cornered by them numerous times). As I was running late, I simply smiled and nodded to say that I can't stop for her to say her lines and marched on. Then behind me I heard the girl say, which totally made my day, and I swear I am not making this up. She said," Eh, her hair very nice..."
Wooohoooo!!!! My ego sky-rocketed into fireworks at that moment, as I continued to sashay down the street. In the hotel room, the usual course of action takes place - its not rocket science. As we snogged and escalated into the heat of the action, he suddenly held the back of my head, grabbed my hair and pulled me closer. I was so scared my extensions would come off and if he'd realise that I had 'clips' in my hair. It kinda hurt abit but the panic overshadowed the pain.
Another interesting thing that happened in that session - not only was he only interested in ass-play (mine) and didnt want to fuck (which is fine, to each his own fetish, whatever makes him happy), he finger-fucked me and has set the record for being the first guy who stuffed his FIVE fingers into my pussy. And his hands wasnt small either. I've always considered fisting a big No-No as I imagined it would be excruciatingly painful and rather gross and will still list it as my No-Go Zone. Five fingers? Fist? I don't want my pussy to be worn loose and gaped out!!!!! Unless you're my gynae, get your fist out of there.
