I did, to help fill up the holes in my updo!

I hate this picture but it's a good one of my hair.

Re: Did anyone wear exensions in their hair for the BIg Day?

I didnt but Im curious to hear from people who have had them. I'd like to get them once in my life but I want to know how much and how much of a hassle they are.

Re: Did anyone wear exensions in their hair for the BIg Day?

I didn't get extensions because my friend had them and they were (a) really really expensive and (b) although they looked great at first, the maintenance is a nightmare. Not to mention that she would be out to dinner with friends/clients, etc and her extensions would just fall out!!! How embarassing!!!
But, I did use a hairpiece that I clipped onto the back of my head and that gave me an updo with lots of volume. My hair looked really thick!

I wore them in my hair to make my barrel curls on top fuller. and the sweep around the front as well.

When I was a BM in my cousins wedding I was the only one with all my real hair. My cousin (the bride) and her two sisters (MOH and other BM) all wore hair pieces. Sorry I don't have any pictures but they all looked really good and none of them had any problems throughout the night.

Re: Did anyone wear exensions in their hair for the BIg Day?

Do you mean extensions or extra hair pieces? I think they are different. Hair pieces for example, can just be pinned into an updo to make it look fuller. When I think of extensions, I think of adding hair all over to make your hair longer/ thicker in general. I think it is a pretty involved and expensive process. I just had a few locks of hair pinned into my do to make the bun look fuller. No one ever knew (until now...)

I mean extensions to make my hair look longer and fuller but only for that day. I want to wear my hair half up. It is only shoulder length now and doesn't get much longer.

By the way, Shamma and Misty look great!!

I saw one on tv that looked really cool. You just put your hair in a pony tail and attach the extra hair.

I wore one of those clip on ponytails that you can get at the mall kiosks. So did my sister, my mother and one of my bridesmaids.
My hair is pin straight and I wanted to wear it half-up. The ponytail gave it the perfect amount of height and helped the veil sit better on my head.
No one could tell.
This is what it looked like before my veil was on

and after

Susan and Jeanna you two look great! You can't tell that they are exensions and your hair is soo shiny and full!

Re: Did anyone wear exensions in their hair for the BIg Day?

I'm lucky because my hair is black. Depending on what color your hair is (like if you have highlights or something) finding a hairpiece might be difficult...but I think it's totally worth it.

Here's my hair piece - ignore the pic, I'm chowing down in the bridal suite! I bought it for about $60 from a kiosk at Roosevelt field - it made such a difference!!

I got one that you attach to the pony tail (my hair goes almost to my waist, and ti had some braiding. It made my updo fuler, and the little braides looked amazing! Nobody could tell that it was an added piece.
