Plastic Desis

Not too long ago, Ranbir Kapoor resorted to ‘comb-over’ to camouflage his receding hair line (as seen here) . Recently he has upgraded to hair systems or hair integration system (also sported by Shahrukh Khan and the Big Bachan) and can’t stop gelling back his hair and showing off his fake hair line, which btw TOTALLY gives it all away. Dude if it weren’t for your hair line, I would have never guessed, so stop showing it off.

Anyways, with these types of wigs, the wig piece is integrated with your own hair by gluing it on the crown of your head using surgical strength glue (Sometimes, the thinning hair under is shaved off). Since the surrounding hair is your own, it looks more natural then a complete wig.

I believe Hair Club is the only place in Pakistan where you can get these ( though I am not a big fan of their results…think actor shakeel)

One of the privileges of being a celebrity is having your own stylists and makeup artists so you can avoid pulling of fashion gaffes. So I have to ask, who the heck is doing Deepika’s hair? I mean geez, I bet a trained monkey could do a better job putting in hair extensions than Deepika’s stylist. She reminds me of the countless Hoochie Mamas that stroll down Manhattan in the hopes of scoring a big shot wall street dude.

Note: I can understand her stylist’s predicament though, as ALOT of work needs to be done ;), you guys’ will understand what I am talking about when my sister decides to send me that one pic of Depika that I’ve been waiting for since the past 3 months. Yeah sis, time to send it through!!!.

Having styled my room mate’s hair extensions for a year, I have acquired a certain confidence in identifying hair extensions :). So what is my verdict on Gauri’s locks.. FAAAAAAAAAKE. While Gauri used to have beautiful hair in her youth, with age she’s lost the volume she used to have.In the picture on the left, notice the texture of the hair on her chest is very different from the top of her crown. While her own hair are slightly wavy in the picture, the extensions fall poker straight.  Extensions are sometimes chemically straigtened or curled before being sold. For people with wavy hair, this poses a styling problem. Once the styling products wear off, the extensions fall back into their original texture creating an OOOPS situation. The picture on the right is just ridiculus. There is so much volume at the ends whereas you can’t see much above the shloulders

While researching Gauri for my previous post, I discovered a pic of shahrukh accepting his award for ‘Chak De India’, with his- imagine the horror of horrors- hair piece glue showing.

To start of with, I haven’t watched many Shahrukh flicks or noticed his hair so i didn’t even know that he wore a hair piece. But my knowledge on hair pieces is excellent and I instantly recognized Endura Bond( a type of hair glue) on his hair line.

There are many different types of hair pieces, with French lace wigs being the most advanced. In these wigs, the hair is woven into a lace cap which allows hair to be parted or styled any way. Wearing the wig requires glueing the hairline of the wig onto your natural hair line. Often when Endura bond is used as glue, it gives a white hairline as it turns white when in contact with sweat or oil. Below is a pic of Beyonce with a white hairline.
