Hairy hair accessories


The parcel arrived one morning and the girls tore at it and finally got it opened. They stared at the contents... what in the world...? Now the girls are very familiar with hair accessories - clips, clasps, pins, bands, you name it. But these... they had never seen anything like these! I guess the best way to describe them is that they are a hybrid of hair elastic and hair extension. They are made in Thailand but clearly for the Singapore market, because they are kiasu hair accessories - elastic band with furry bits and feathers and bead-decorated long braided hair attached. Once the girls figured out what Kong Kong and Mama no.2 had sent them, they had a blast with the hairy hair accessories. Don't they look smashing?

I'm sure they sell at some shops but I've never seen anyone actually wearing these things. You should have seen the girls' bewildered expression when they opened the box.

Wow, looks kind of funky, especially the hair extension bit. Should be a hit with the young girls. I would wear it if I was any younger. Haha...
