Irresistible Braids

Over the past year/year in a half, I've tried a variety of different hair lengths - shoulder-length, a lob, an actual bob, very long with extensions, longer in the front and so on. I change my mind often, never on the color, but always the length - When I see Lucy, I immediately want to cut my hair short with blunt ends. But then I come across yet another flawless picture of Blake and lusting after the short bob becomes a thing of the distant past. At the heart of my personal style, I am just a girl who loves long, beautiful hair…but for those brief moments in time when I change my mind, there is a simple solution: Extensions. 

As you guys know, I had beaded weft extensions in previously for about 3 months and I had so much fun with the process…the only thing I didn’t love was sleeping on them so to combat that, I decided to try clip-in extensions from Irresistible Me which you can put in and remove any time you want. I had been following them on IG for awhile and was really impressed with how natural they looked on everyone. The best part of these is the ease of use...Even if you just want longer hair for a few hours or a certain event, it takes no more than 10 minutes to attach the whole set, making for a fast new look!

I would wear a different style braid every day (if I didn’t hit the snooze button so often) and the extensions make braid looks so much more fun to play with! Not only is the length gorgeous but you have so much more hair to work with so you can make them as fat and messy as you want. This was my first time styling these, so I look forward to mastering the process and trying different looks. Next on my extensions list, I'm aiming for a fishtail or pull-through braid…stay tuned!

P.S. - If you have liked Sisters Marie on Facebook, you can see all the ways we have styled extensions in the past...Warning: Waves ahead.

Hair Envy

If there's one thing women are constantly indecisive about, it's our hair...Without fail, every time we're patient enough to let it grow long, we get irritated with it being "stringy" or boring so we inevitably cut it. Then 2 weeks after loving the new “short hair, don’t care” attitude, we decide we're once again ready for long, luxurious strands and can’t believe how long we have to wait…again. 

We have both heard this same thing in many conversations with girlfriends so it’s good to know we’re not the only crazy hair ladies who can never feel completely content. The thing is, your hair is such a big part of your personality, much like our clothes, so it's not surprising we get the urge to change it up and keep it fresh.

So, now that a new season is upon us, it's no wonder we're both pining for a new style...a longer style, that is. We're both starting to really miss our extensions (and while we DON'T miss sleeping on them or washing them ever so carefully), the pros outweigh the few cons. Whoever said it was easier to style short hair has never had long strands...the waves, braids, buns, and more make getting up and going a breeze...especially since it's best if you wash your hair every 2-4 days.

We had them done by Suzie who works out of Los Angeles and does a FANTASTIC job…lucky for us, she returns to the Chicago area often and is going to be in our neck of the woods sometime this October. She has asked if we know any other beautiful ladies who would be interested in trying out some luxurious locks so please email us if you want more details: sisters.marie@yahoo.com!
