Hello Gorgeous!
I love finding a new great thing for simple, easy beauty. Dancing with the Stars dancer Kym Johnson has a hair extension endorsement on the side! You can watch her tonight compete with Hines Ward. DWTS this season is full of so many surprises!
I've tried alot of extensions and the majority that are under a hundred bucks feel really plasticky.
But these don't!
You can see there are 3 different types in the photo and all of these are available at www.HSN.com
Here's what I'm trying on in the video: Bango Tango for instant bangs, Go!Go! for volume and Flirtini for a thick ponytail. All of these can be heat styled and worn curly or straight. These are the dark chocolate brown hair extensions.
Now: enjoy this short video from me demonstrating how to wear these for your prom, wedding, event, or professional photo for your business even!

Then I have also included a fun video of DWTS Kym Johnson and Hines Ward dancing the Samba so you can see these extensions in full swinging action! Enjoy!
