Amp Up Your Hair With Style Strands (Photos)

I've been experimenting with my hair a lot these days -- a new cut, a new color, and now I decided to take it to a whole new level -- EXTENSIONS!

My bravery in part has been encouraged by this company called Style Strands, who I came across recently. They were generous enough to send me a sample of chestnut brown locks to test out.

But Caitlin, your hair is not brown it is blonde?!

Well, I am trying this new trend of weaving in opposite colored strands into one's hair to create great definition and contrast.

...and it worked!

Each set of strands came in their own packaging. Once out of the package, I noticed that each piece of hair was attached to a clear loop of fishing wire. To attach, I hooked a bobbi pin in the loop and embedded it deep into my hair by the roots.

From there it was totally simple to just take my hair, divide it into three sections and perfectly execute an awesome braid! Nothing is cooler than seeing the light and dark strands inter linking to create an easy (yet highly complimented) look!

And trust me -- no matter your level of daring-ness, Style Strands has you covered! You could match your hair color, go a shade lighter or darker, or even try a wold shade like mint and lavender!

Six packs of Style Strands cost $20 and are available at www.stylestrands.com along with other great hair accessories!

$20 bucks -- that's it! Give it a try ladies!
