BEAUTY | Long Faux Ponytail

Photobucket Photobucket

jacket: thrifted
ear cuff: Local jewelry store(similar here)

Most probably, this hair used to belong to an indian girl who made a few bucks from it by selling it after a haircut. Strange that it is now on my head but it is a scenario I could live with. I'd rather not think about the creepier stories about how they collect this human hair for extensions, like cutting it off corpses in India. Oops. Well, getting back to the subject; as the chances that my hair will ever grow this long while keeping up the bleaching and coloring are none, I decided to get a few extensions and give them a grey rinse along with my own hair. It will also give my own hair a break from the hairdryer and styling iron for a couple of months.
Oh! Remember this DIY post from the Love Aesthetics archives involving some of human hair?

i didn't ever think about that you could be more stunning. but long hair makes you so.. wow!

and most of the indians are cutting their hair for religious purpous. so i didn't think that you're wearing hair from dead bodies.

Beautiful. It makes such a difference when people use real hair extensions rather than fake!

It's a LDN Thing

Most extensions just look like cheap...well.. extensions. But since yours are dyed to match the same crazy color as your greyish hair it looks totally perfect. I am, as usual, super impressed with your ability to make things I thought we not-cool into things that are totally cool.

Why are you 90% of the time so perfect! :D

Anonymous said...

what the fuck is wrong with you to be like oops they cut corpse's hair off in india. you sound like such a dumbass. who cares if they profane dead people bodies as long as i look like a dumb bitch with purple hair right?

Unknown said...

I squealed a little when you mentioned corpses, but I hope that's not the case, but as long as you respect your hair, it's not like an insult to them. What a coincidence, I recently bought a long hair dark brown wig for me because I always thought men with long hair are kinda cool, so I'd be having more options, like girls who wear their hair up or down. This really suits you, it's just a whole new look! I love your shoulder length hair, it's very modern but come on, girl's gotta have some long hair to swoosh around with! :D

I actually love/hate this.

The fact u can pull of this and I can't makes me sick (ahaha kiddin)

U killed me! <3

Jayvee Doroteo said...

The hair that comes from India are actually "religious offerings", so they probably don't actually make money at all. The temples make money, by selling the hair per bag/kg probably. Apparently I've read of stories of hair being cut by "robbers" when the girls are sleeping. Oh well, you give it justice. Could you get any prettier?!

To anonymous;
first off , calling someone names on the internet anonymously is so pathetic.

I'll ignore all your swearing and answer anyway;
you misread this post, because obviously the oops referred to thinking about scary stories people make up, It does not refer to oops i'm wearing some dead person's hair - which I am not. Those who read my blog know that I really care about where all my products come from and if they are made in an ethical way.

hey, its amazing, what colour do you use?

Anonymous said...

ivania, i totally agree with you. being as rude as THAT to someone you don´t know totally IS pathetic!!

the peron who said this has absolutely no idea what he or she is talking about.
i read your blog every day and i totally understood, what you meant.
so, this faux ponitail is gorgeous and so are you!!

(i wish, i could write in a non-anonymus-way, but i don´t have any internet account...)

love, l.

THE DIVINITUS said...

Just wanted to add to what Jayvee Doroteo said, there is "Good Hair" by Jeff Stilson documentary - if anybody interested. It's worth watching (i/e talks about the temple vs hair offering controversy.)

Anna said...

Ivania! I understand that the anonymous commenter was very rude in the way they worded themselves, but on the bright side, I guess you can appreciate that that sort of misunderstanding (i.e. disgust at girls who put their image or vanity before unethical practice at the cost to others) does warrant quite an angry reaction!

Perhaps the commenter was new to your blog and didn't have any prior background knowledge of you and your ethical practices?

I bet they feel like they overreacted after reading your response!

LOVE AESTHETICS said...

Thanks guys for the lovely reactions, yes good hair is such a great and funny documentary! That's actually where I got the dead-people-myth from :)

Elise said...

Ah heel mooi! Ik vind dat grijs je heel mooi staan. De vorige keer ook al. En die jas is ook echt schitterend, is het vilt?

Liefs,

Elise
