People want what they can't have....

And that is especially true when it comes to hair! Girls with curly hair only wish they could straighten it out, and girls with straight hair want beautiful ringlets. For me, all I have ever wanted is thick locks. Through the years, I've noticed a definite thinning of my hair. Here you can see my dinky pony tail (and yes I am petting an elephant!!)


The problem is, for my wedding day I have dreams of hair like this:

So how exactly do I expect to get that look without breaking the bank? My secret is Jessica Simpson's Hair-Do ponytail:


It is this crazy contraption of fake hair that wraps around your own ponytail, elongating it and making it extra thick and delicious. And the best part? It only costs $40 and it matches my hair PERFECTLY. When its straight, it looks a little crazy, but I decided to take a risk and curl it for my cousins wedding. And the results:

All night long people were complimenting me on my (superfake) hair! I LOVED the results. So when I finally went to buy my dress, I brought along Jessica's hair secret (OK, I'm sure she doesn't use it herself....) and tried it on to get the full effect.

My consultant thought I was absolutely nutty when I pulled out what must have looked like a rat's nest in the dressing room, but I am so glad I got to see the whole look together. Now I just wonder what my guests will think the morning after my wedding when my hair miraculously shortens almost a foot! I guess I won't need a PWC!

Did you always want what you didn't have with regards to hair? Are you getting your wish for your wedding day?
