Hairdo Style-a-do and Mini-do

I never thought I'd do it, but I did it....and I LOVE them! The color blend is so natural looking, you can't tell the difference between the hair piece and my own hair. I'm going away overnight Thursday and have to get ready Friday morning for the entire day as we have an engagement at 1PM and no time or place to change clothes or freshen up before meeting family and friends for dinner and concert at night. I think I'm going to wear the Style-a-do. It'll make my look a little more dressed up than just wearing my hair down straight. Trying to decide now if I want to wear plain hoop earrings or something that sparkles.

I just had to go see what it was -- I bet it will look really nice! I vote for the sparkles -- you can wear plain hoops anytime.

I used to have the style a do a few years ago when my hair was much shorter. I would double them up to make my style look fuller and they worked awesome that way. Have you seen the braided chignon? Those are great for special occasions. Glad you are enjoying yours.

Hi JLF, good for you! Several years ago I bought something similar by Toni Bratten and it was all wrong. Can I ask which color you got? It's hard to tell from Q's photos that there is much of a color blend. And the price is certainly reasonable. If I could get a medium beige-ish blonde with some shading I'd be a customer, liking to wear my own hair up, but have thin hair.

I have them too.

They are great in the summer when the weather is so hot and you can't stand your hair on your neck. I have hair a few inches below my shoulders and it's curly. I pull my hair up in a high ponytail and wrap one or the other of the hairpieces around the pony, leaving the tail out. Because it's curly, I can blend it in among the strands of the hairpiece. You can't tell the difference between my hair and the piece.

Hi Lesley - I my hair is a medium-dark blonde as the base color and underneath with lots of highlights and lowlights. I wrestled on whether to get the Dark Golden Blonde or just the regular Dark Blonde. Several times a day I would look at the color swatches and watch the video. I finally decided to get the Dark Blonde because the Golden one seemed like it more highlights and I know I'll probably get a few more lowlights for fall and winter. I suggest really looking at the video for a more realistic representation of what the hair pieces will look like. The color examples that are linked to the swatches on the listing aren't as good of a representation. If you can hone in on a color that has some of your coloring in it, you'll probably be happy with it because each hair piece has a blend of several shades so it will pick up your own hair color.
