One of the best things about being in London is seeing what everyone in New York will be wearing in six months.
Sure enough, peplums were already in the window of every high street store, everyone’s rocking Alice Dellal-like grungy booties, and there were an inordinate amount of super stylish fashion show-going girls with a perfectly plaited braid wrapped around their long wavy hair.
Each time we saw one of them we’d wonder, how’d she braid that so perfectly? How is it staying in place just so? Until finally, when we had thirty minutes to spend in Topshop on the very last day, we saw a wall stocked with fake braid headbands and felt like an ass for not realizing they were fake three days before.
We’ll blame it on exhaustion, being far away and blurred fashion vision at this point - but for all the railing we’d do in an argument against fake hair, we couldn’t even tell the difference.
Which makes us wonder, would you wear a fake braid on your head? Because all the cool girls are doing it.

The key to "fake" hair is trying to make it look like your own. As long as I can pull that off, I don't see why not.
