Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of Jessica Simpson. Who wouldn't be, with her amazing voice, role model reputation, and classic good-looks? Sure, many teen girls, myself included, appreciate her music. But there is also a little part of each of us who want to attain her level of effortless style. Her ever-changing hair, for example, is envied by one and all. Recognizing this, Simpson partnered with friend Ken Paves to create her own line of hair extensions, called hairdo (see title link), sharing her hairstyle flexibility with the rest of the world.
Hair extensions sound like fun--initially. But check out the prices on these pieces; just one hair clip-on from Simpson's line can cost you anywhere from $80 to $100 each. Most teen girls don't have that kind of money to spend on hair extensions, so the investment isn't really worth it. It seems a bit pointless to publicize the extensions in teen magazines, since most readers will probably never even consider the extensions because of their prices. Although I love the idea of a harmless way to dramatically change a look, I think Simpson and Paves could do better marketing their line for a different--and slightly more affluent--audience.
