Hair Extension Test: Real vs. Synthetic


Tyra and her hairstylist, Oscar, reveal a few tests to help you determine if the weave the salon is putting on your head is real human hair – or something a little less fab.

Let me tell you.. The cheapest place to go to get hair extensions put in is in the central valley.. Her name is peaches and I ALWAYS GO TO HER. No one really knows of her yet so I am pretty much the
only Asian girl that goes in there. She charges 25$ per a row.. And you have to buy your own hair.. I love her! And Ilove extensions!

So I have the curlyest hair on the face of then planet and it is super thick. I can't do anything with it, it is sooo annoying. I would love to straighttn it every night but no one is up for the 2 hour challenge and when i do it by myself it takes like 3 hours. I was thinking about cutting it shorter and then straighten it but it might look weird. HELP HELP HELP. When i saw the makeover's on ANTM i was like omg i wish that was me. Having Tyra tell a famous stylist how to make my hair look hot. PLease Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TYra!

I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles
And the heavens open every time she smiles
And when I come to her that's where I belong
Yet I'm running to her like a river's song

She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love

She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
Take away my trouble, take away my grief
Take away my heartache, in the night like a thief

She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love

Yes I need her in the daytime
Yes I need her in the night
Yes I want to throw my arms around her
Kiss her hug her kiss her hug her tight

And when I'm returning from so far away
She gives me some sweet lovin' brighten up my day
Yes it makes me righteous, yes it makes me feel whole
Yes it makes me mellow down in to my soul

She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love


thank you
tyra
we love you!!!!!

hi, i live in los angeles. my question is that I have the worst time trying to find the perfect hair stylist. I've been to 3 different stylists,and my hair just seems to get shorter and shorter. I need a good hair dresser that has the magic touch and help my hair grow to again. Any suggestions on finding a good hair stylist. Anyone?

if so my email is veewilloughby42@hotmail.com

The people who commented on the real vs fake are going over the top. I guess some people will take anything and run with it. I watch it again and it was a little over the top , but not all what it's being made out to be.I think you talk about your hair to much,but it's your show.At first it was like she sure is real,now it's like not her hair again. Everyone would like to know where we can get ours done at. After you tell us kind of chill on talking about it .

Dear Tyra,
I have seen your show many times. You truly are an inspiration for women and girls of all ages. You help to touch on every issue in life. I think the most touching documentary you did was with the little girls who believed they were fat. I see that everyday in life at my high school. I too am one of those girls. You helped me to see that i should be comfortable with my body and what god has blessed me with. My famil has never been rich nor will we probably ever be. My brother was 19 years old when he was diagnosed with weigener's vasculitis granulomatosis. His disease eats away at his health and we are still struggling 4 years later to pay off the bills from his first hospital visit. My sister is in college and is struggling with it. She says she hates it their but she doesnt want to give up on her dreams. With the income my family has you can imagine the things we go through to make it year to year. So far everyone in my family has had their chance to shine and do something big. My brother's life was saved when he was diagnosed/ He stopped doing many things that lead him down the wrong path. I have the deepest care for my family because throughout the years they hve been the only ones i could truly count on. At age 12 i was molested in my sleep by my cousin. The thought alone of my family falling apart kept me from pressing charges. Me and my sister's real father has never really been there for us. He stopped seeing us when i turned 12 also. Things have never been the same since. He told me i was a mistake and that the constant reminder of having the sam birthday made him sick. It's hard for me to go day to day hearing about all the loving families in the world when i know my life will never be like that. I'm a strong girl though and have made it through a lot. Now it's my senior year in high school and all i want is to come out a new person inside and out. I have already made the transition inside myself but not on the outside. Two and a half years ago i died my hair for the first time. It was supposed to be slightly darker than my natural color, but ended up being black. I spent the next two days before school stripping, bleaching and re-dying my hair back to a normal color. I cut my hair not long after that because of the damage. Since then my hair has remained one length.Not because i want it to, but because it will not simply grow, or it just breaks off at a certain point. So i started toying with the idea of hair extensions. I have found someone who does the paris hilton dreamcatcher extensions. They are said to not be damaging to the hair..i was so relieved when i found this out but as soon as i set up a consultation and found out the price my heart sank back into my stomach. My family doesnt have near enough money to pay for something like that. I know people say its just hair but for so long my hair was my protection from the world it seemed. It was the only thing i truly loved about myself...and now its gone. It's completely damaged beyond repair, so much that it wont even stay straightened no matter how much product i put into it. Tyra i just want my hair back...i want to change the ouside of me to match the inside. I want a new beginning in the world. I want to leave the past behind. It's my senior year and i want to look as amazing as i feel and the only thing holding me back is my hair insecurities......and knowing that i finally found what i was looking for in dreamcather's only to be let down.
Sincerely,
Amy

I love you tyra

slt tayra moi maha du marrocco j'est 17 je veux que tu maide j'est rien ni argebt ni amies je eux quie tu maide pour étre ala hoauteure ok svp

I have hair extension at the moment and it's cool.
N'wayz, I love watching ANTM & your show though somehow due to time clash of US & Middle East/Asia i have to record the timing and wake up wee hours in the morning to watch your show.
What i like in you is being real considering you're in a "fake" industry.
Keep up the good works.

Hey Tyra!

I see how much work you put into continuously helping women be comfortable with themselves and it has truly been an inspiration.

I see the huge boost of confidence that it gives and I would like the same. The only difference is, I have never seen a segment on your show about cleft lip and pallets. I have both and have been put to shame for that. Please help me find a way to minimize the appearance of this. I would greatly appreciate this.

Love
Christina

Hey Tyra;
Thank you for all your tips.some of them are very benefitial to me. But i got a question for you: if want to be a make artist, do i have to go to school for that.

Just watching this episode a few days ago broght back childhood memories that my mom was right.
I am the proud owner of 28 inches of full real locks. At 27 I am happy I was blessed with full THICK hair(from my Native American Heritage) now but when I was yonger I wished I didn't have thick hair. Every morning I would grip about its to thick fighting to put my hair in a pony tail or hair pin.
Then I would hear my mom say you know how many women in this world would love/kill to have hair as thick as yours. Being a smarty pants I'd say let them come take it from me I don't want it!!!

I was taking a stroll in a local mall, seen some hair extentions by Jessica Simpson that costed $150 buck for weave. I am not gonna complan only if I get knots in my hair.

Dear Tyra I have watched your shows The Tyra show and Americas next top model for many years now. You inspire me so much. Most romodels for people these days are like Brittney Spears or Paris Hillton. You are a really famous model and you do it in such a modest way. I am 14 years old I have been watching your shows for a long time! My friend is a year older than me she wants to be a photographer when she gets older and I want to be a model not just on tv but to be a good romodel for others like you are. Somtimes I watch your show and watch peoples lifes change right there on tv by you fufilling there dreams!!!! watching your show gives me hope for my future as well as my friend Katie. We like to spend our days taking really amazing pictures with alot of ideas from your show. I just wanted to thank you for being the great person you are and for setting a good example for all us who watch your show. I will not ask you to reply because I am sure you are very busy. But thank you for your time. I love you and your shows!!!!!!

Hi Tyra!!! I love your show girl..Im a 23 year old stay at home mom that has 3 kids. I watch your show everyday and I always wish that I could be as fierce as you are. I love your clothes, your hair (wink), really just your style. Im kinda shy and wouldnt really want to be in front of cameras but you can come visit us in Harrisburg PA anytime!!My husband would flip because he just loves you. I told him that if I ever saw you in person I would ask you for one of your wigs..lol
Anyway, on a serious note, keep doing what you are doing by empowering women especially these up and coming young ladies. Thank you for keeping your show fun and airy and for being like that "girlfriend"!
Hope to hear from you...

Hey Tyra,

I just wanted to say that you are such a great role model out there!! Now a days it is hard to find someone like yourself!! I love watching your show!! YOu always know how to put a smile on my face even when im upset! I have to say im probably up there on your number one fans list!! I personally loved the show about whats real or fake. I am a 25 white female and I to wear extensions. I have tried everytype out there!! Im not embarrassed to admit. Ya i get some crap about it through my friends, but hey it makes me feel good!! The only thing is I spend so much money on it!! I do it myself now but I would do anything for your type of hair. I have researched so much about hair. I think there are so many girls out there like me that struggle with hair. FOr girls like me that live paycheck to paycheck but have to have these. Unforunatley when i was younger a hairstylist ruined my hair and it has never been the same since so therefore i have to wear them. I love that you show that is ok to be different. I just want to say THANKS!!!

hi tyra how are you doing i just want to say that you really inspire me allot youve always being there through difficult & good times tyra i will always love you even if im at SOUTH AFRICA i wish i could meet you and be the american next top model

Hey Pretty,i am 20 years of age and i live in Kenya so far from you that even if i want to be your guest it will take alot.I love the thing that you do for people and i was taught is that at a point in life when you do good deeds,that is when other people out of pure unappreciation concentrate on your mistake but it is you to decide,are you going to let them ruin your passion,your reason for livin,NOO!You are kind and good and you have changed me in several ways,am big and fabulous,i love myself and if i had not watched your show maybe it could be different right now.Am currently in university persuing my career in DRY LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT.My prayer is that i reach the point you are in life where i can touch people's life,you are blessed my dear.PLEASE write back to me so that i can be sure that i have talked to the one and only tyra banks,otherwise i got to go,I LOVE YOU VERY VERY MUCH.Later,ha!Guess who says that,mmmhhhh.

Hey Tyra!
I would first like to say that I LOVE your show; I think it's just so amazing!!!! I try to rush home from school to watch it everyday! I'm SOOO glad that you moved to New York; now your a lot closer and not in that distant land we call California lol! It's very wierd... after finally reading 4 Harry Potter Books (which I swore I would NEVER read because of their length) and seeing all 5 movies, I've becomed hooked! I've become really interested in the actors who play the dynamic trio: Dan, Emma, and Rupert. I know this is kind of randomn, but... I was wondering if one of them or all three of them could be future guests on your show. Even though I'm only 16 :-( and i can't go to the show, it would be really cool to see from home. What could be better?; my ALL TIME favorite talk show host (you of course!) having Dan, Rupert, or Emma, the actors people all want to get to know, as guest(s) on your BRILLIANT show!!!!! Think about it.

Luv always,
Shamique

P.S.- Did I tell you that I absolutely LOVE your show!!!!!

Hi Tyra! I was watching your segment on hair extensions and I realize that human hair extensions are a better investment. Well, my hair is pretty curly and when its curly, it hits at the middle of my chest. I really want extensions, but I can only afford synthetic! Plus, my hair does not seem to grow. Help me please!

TYRA,
My hair will NOT grow!! It used to be long and pretty. I'm 21 and it just breaks all the time. Anythiing that grows just breaks off. It's SO thin on the bottom. I just want my long hair back. I want extensions and I can't afford them. I just moved to San Francisco and everywhere is SO expensive. My self esteem has gone down SO much since it started thinning. My boyfriend tells me several times a day that I'm beautiful but my sefl esteem is still so low. I cry all the time about my stupid hair thinning and not growing. And because I gained alot of weight that I'm trying to lose right now by diet and exercise. HELP TYRA!! What should I do to get my dream hair extensions so i can have my self esteem back???

Love
Danielle

THANKS LOVE MARY FROM UTAH

Hey Tyra! This is my first comment on your page. I'm a weave fanatic, and I watched the clip of how to tell human hair from synthetic. But the advice needs some adding on to. Those tips work with straight hair, with curls and waves, the synthetic hair is freakishly bouncy and super shiny. It doesn't look natural at all. It has sort of a "slinky" effect. Also synthetic hair melts if you hold a strand to a flame, human hair will burn up before you can even get you fingers out of the way!
Well that's my two cents. Thanx for listening (kinda). :)

Tyra,
why not opt for a more natural looking weave?

Hey tyra work it!!! ok you are faboulous and will always continue to be!!! but one question I am artist and aspiring professional makeup artist and I wanted to know how can work with FabOlOUs!! Jay from the show ( top Model) i think he is fierce and everything that I would love to be. He aspires just me just as you do!!!if you have anything dealing with apprenticship I would be so interested. I dont have the money to go to school but I feel that I am a hard working person and up for any challenge. Thank you and keep up the good work and those wigs, honey..lol ( just joking) love ya ! peace

hi tyra i am a national of Trinidad and Tobago just want to say i enjoy your show alot love the balance, shows debth and diversity since u can be fun and crazy sometimes and other times u are able to present important issues especially to young viewers like myself.ps can u do a top modle show in trinidad lol

Tyra i loveeeee ur show you are really a sincere and honest lady(~_~)keep it up girl. and you SISTERS stop being so defense always taking it so personal get over and learn to acept constructive criticism.

Tyra Banks:
Based on your show topics, your level of education is so apparent! New York is a tough audience and hopefully it determines the fate of your show. To paraphrase what your brother said, "supermodel, yet still dumb and ghetto." Your show brings absolutely no value. I really hope it gets cancelled.

hi tyra i watch your show occassionally with my 11 yr old who jus adores u she has watched every episode of antm reruns marathons finalies, u name it she has watched it. i would jus like to say i am taken aback by your beauty and my 11 year old would like tobe a model one day i would jus like to maybe see more shows for preteens who are struggling with their self image, i think my daughter is beautiful i would jus like to be abel to instill in her some more self esteem issues something i didnt get enough of when i was growing up, i am a 38 mother of 4 and my 11 year old is my youngest. thank you please remember the preteen girls, thank you

hi tyra

i think that you are so so great, you touch my heart as well as everyone in the world. But i have a big problem " i can't fine a job" i mean im smart i can type, send faxes i do anything. But it seems that no wants to give me a chance. tyra all that i want is to have a job that when i wake up in the morning it will be still there. Most importantly i want a job so that i can finish my education. please help need a job.


hope you get this

Tyra, Tyra, Tyra. I cannot believe you had the black girl wearing the weave. It's bad enough your mentor(Oprah) told white america, that black women don't grow hair, and of course they took that and ran with it. White and mexican women wear weaves just like us black women do, but the only difference is their hair blends better because their hair is naturally straight.

Hi Tyra
My name is Amelia From ANGOLA(its some where in Africa) currently studing in south Africa. I just want to let u know that u are a true inspiration to and my friends.I watch your show whenever i can and i love it. If i may suggest can u please do a show where Black celebrities come to the show with their Natural Hair as a Black Women it great to have the privelege to be able to change hairstyles like weave but i feel we as Black women we are not celebriting our natural hair enough.Thank you God Bless

what did Tyra do??? why she has to apologize? forgive me i aint seen that show i just watched the clip and saw nothing harmful...what;s the fuss about...oh and Bri can u plz tell me what posts are u talking about...iz there a private forum where Tyra posts comments???

hi tyra i watch your show a lot.but iwas watching the rerun of atms on vh1 and i was so said to think you are a little fake.that girl kyhaan i"m not sure if that was her name but she had every thing to be a amts but because of the little weigt on her belly you send her home. if i can remember you just did a show that is called so what.yes she should try harder to watch what she put in her mouth.but even tho she was awell round person you did let her go.you fallow that jdickenson.you have are 2 driffent person on tyshow & amtms.wich of the show are you real on.1 show you are o.k how you are on the next don"t care how good you are at modeling you have to look like a sheet of paper.

Hi Miss Tyra,

Thanks for posting my second comment that was in defense of the black model on your "real or fake" show.
I am disappointed that you did not post my earlier comment, I was hoping that you were gonna "keep it real". I hope that what I said did not hurt or embarrass you, oops, could you be feeling the same feelings the black model was feeling while you were digging all in her head?? Hmmmm.
Please Miss Banks, post my prior comment and use some tact and sincerity with ALL of your guests. And, for Lord's sake, apologize the black model.
Yours Truly,
Bridgette

heyy tyra!!
I lovee your show i watch it everyday!! You are sooo pretty and beautuful i want to be just like you!
I am just starting a modeling career and hopefully can be as succesful as you.
I love your show and i love what you are doing at the moment.
You are my hero tyra babee
Lovee you
ISSAYY loves TYRAAA FOREVERRRRR XX

I do feel you wear too much hair (extensions). It then looks so artificial.

Tyra,

I am a white woman who caught the show, and I was definitely sadden. I thought you had a little more finese or should I say professional. I have friends who watched the show, and felt the same way. No way will we watch you show, until we see an apology to that young lady. You have definitely out done yourself. With all the things I thought you could have done, this was the worst of the worst. That young lady was absolutely gorgeous, and she is a role model to many young ladies. My question is why would you do this? My hope is that you get better topics on the show, you're in NYC. We are people of integrity, love, and we aren't looking to tear each other down. We had a major tradegy Sept. 11, and you could not do something any better. Well you lost my vote, I won't again watch your show, and I am telling all my friends until I see you apologize.

Hello Tyra,

This is in response to the show on 12 September, 2007; Tyraville. This show was intriguing, I was really in awe at the way the townspeople interacted with one another. Based on the views and morals of some, it is scary to know that they are an accurate representation of our future. It was an eye-opener and it was also a topic of discussion for me and my children at the dinner table. Thanks for the thought provoking show and keep up the good work.

God Bless

hey tyra! i love you but just like when your mom tells you not to put too much blush on i am gonna telll you that can you plz not put on this weave or whatever it is i mean the hair. i liked your hair the one with layers in the past season.
byeee

Hi Tyra,
I would just like to say that i love your show but I think you focus more on yourself than you do on your guess. Don't get me wrong I think you are doing a great job but i think you should put more attention on your guess and less on yourself.

LOVE YA GIRL!


Hello All,
I watched Friday's episode, and I said, "Wow, what a Beautiful, Black Woman." If she is not a model, she should definitely be one. I know this young lady will make it, sometimes people own insecurities allow them to do crazy things. I thought your hair was absolutely beautiful and I would not have know it was fake. The audience thought it was real. Young lady you out shined everyone, and you are the true star. You will go much further, and I hope I can meet you one day so I can offer you a model contract. May God Bless you with so much opportunity.

hi tyra,

i'm actually writing to you all the way from africa. i am a 32 year old female and i was a BIG sceptic when you started your show. I was on the band wagon of "what's she going to talk about?". But i must say you have won me over and you are in my top three of inspirational people i truly admire for the gutso and desire for greatness. Well done i'm truly proud of you cause you are really representing in ways you can not even begin to imagine. I now watch your show faithfully and ANTM. We are episodes or seasons behind but it doesn't matter.

Keep on believing.


hey tyra i love your show very mych and what your doing is great.

hello Tyra this Brittany Fagan.im 17 years,im in the 11th grade i like playing sports but most of all i love your show.i would love to be apart of your show.Because my dream is to be the NEXT TOP MODEL.

Hey Tyra, I am sending this to you because I just wanted you to know how much I enjoy your show. You are so crazy (in a good way)! Keep on keepin' it real. Oh yeah what do you do with all your old jeans?

hi tyra just wanted to say that i love your show and i try to watch it as much as possible aka (when im not @ work)lol and actually im @ work now typing this message lmao...see you bout to get me fired lol, but anyway i actually wanted to come on here and defend you on some comments that were made about this specific show about weave.... lol i loved it!!!! i thought it was so funny because thats exactlly wat my weave used to do when i had no clue what the heck i was doing with my hair back in the day... for those rude comments that were posted about the show plz stop it. it's not even nessary to down tyra for something so small as a hair weave. come on!!! people. if tyra was really trying to make that girl look bad do you really think she would have put her self in front of the fan to let her hair weave blow all out of place to? not 1 time did you see tyra put a gun to that girls head and say " get in front of the fan or its about to be on!" you never heard that come out of her mouth..that girl could have easly declined and walked away. wat tyra did was try to show you the difference in hair weaves, but sence you decided that you wanted to make this a show about racism (witch clearly thats what this show was not about)you only saw color. lmao i have no idea how yal went from hair weaves to racial issues lol. tyra keep doing ya thang big baby!! next time do a show about hair roots! cause man some people need help keeping them the same color as they ends. lol see ya

hi toya,

i cant ask my family for help because I am still supporting them.I send money every month. Sad to say my family in the Philippines are poor. My dad makes $2 a day.
but i did ask my in laws.My mom in law is going to help pay for my daughter;s passport fee. My grandma in law is going to pay for my I-131 travel document. While me and my husband will cover the plane ticket. But we will be a little short. I dont ask for help to strangers unless im desperate. Im doin everything i can. But when ur husband is a student and making $8 an hour and working 60 hour a week. And u are saving for 2 plane ticket in the end u still come up short. Im sorry if i offended anybody.

Yeah, I had to watch that clip again. I seriously agree with Edie who posted on 9/15.
That black model deserves an apology. I hope that she is reading this now, "Girl, go get your hair done for free from Tyra and don't look back!"
The prior day,you even had to make a comment about Rihanna's hair...
Tyra, you can count on me to never watch your show again. If what we have to look forward to this season is you trying to down us sisters, count me out, I refuse to help your ratings one bit!
Tyra your treatment to that young, black sister was appalling.I hope you do the right thing and apologize to her on your show. I hope that you know that you didn't make yourself any better by treating her that way. I saw exactly what was behind your actions to her and I am really disappointed in you. You really need to look at yourself for that one.
I hope you post this comment and the one I sent earlier.
You know, if your goal this season was to lose all of your black viewers at home, you are doing a stellar job.

hey girl!
first i wanted to tell you to over look 'eddies' comment. how dare he judge you when he doesn't know even you. sencond i wanted to say now that your in new york you can come over to Canada much easier, so come down and we'll give you a warm welcome. my third and final thing is that for your house makeover show i think you should do my house its on the market right now and well its never going to sell if we don't get help (easpeacally with our furniture). please get in touch with me i have loads of ideas for the show and if not ill keep posting. bye miss banks!

keep doing what your doing!!

I understand that your show is mainly for young girls seeking knowledge on what often is obvious common sense to an older adult. I watch occasionally and I happened across the segment of "real or Fake". I saw how the young Black woman with the "fake" hair was treated..humiliated and taunted in front of a mainly white! audience!..I would sue your show if that were me. That young woman should be given a public apology and given another chance on your show .I was angered as to how you did not do the same to the white girl wearing weave/extensions. It is obvious when someone is demonstrating superiority and bullying behavior. Tyra, you are too old to be acting like some hyper-active high school girl...I saw no benefit in your show and the viewers would fare well to choose a book or a magazine over your show...I will never watch again!

Tyra!!

please please please change your CONTESTS SO THAT US CANADIANS CAN PARTICIPATE IN THEM!We still love you to!

Hey Trya I love watching your shows. I love the fact that you are down to earth and one on one with us. Like when someone comes on your show and how you hug them and talk to them because you really care. I saw the show where you wore the blue dress with the black stripes. Please don't get mad but is there a bun in the oven?

hey tyra,

you are the greatest; such an inspiration. Question-- will you please give me the name of the NY Hair Salon you sent the lady for a fabulous weave on your fake v. real segment on Friday, Sept. 14. thanks so much!!

Hey Tyra,

Its funny how I stared at the computer for a good 5 minutes because, for some weird reason, i got nervous to type to you....lol.

Anyways the reason why I'm typing to you is because you had an episode where u re-did a kindergarden room and u said if theres anything anyone thinks they need resyled by tyra....whether it be an office, a house...ect.........Well I'm 17 years old, soon to be 18 and Im a senior at Fiorella Laguardia High School of the Preforming Arts. I'm a Drama major and I have a little problem. You see my graduating class has been waiting 4 years to finailly be seniors and decorate the girls dressing room but we finally got the locker rooms and find our selfs too busy with college essays, college interveiws, after school preformences and so on to decorate them. We've watched 3 years worth of girls put posters and lights and paint the walls but now its nothing =(.As drama majors this is where we go after school to put our custooms away to relax and so on. I love all the girls in my year. We spend so much time at school, probably more than any other school because we are a young conservatory. We stay after school for rehersals, for talent shows or to help out. Tyra I made a big poster that said CLASS OF 2008 but..........it still looks YUCKY lol........Tyra Please help me out. I'd like to give this as a gift to my graduating class and also leave the room looking feirce for the years after us.


P.S. THANKYOU SOO MUCH FOR BEING WHO YOU ARE. I PRAY THAT GOD MAY CONTINUE BLESSING YOU, GOD GIVES EVERYONE GIFTS BUT YOUR SO SPECIAL BECAUSE YOU PUT ACTUALLY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEM AND PUT THEM TO WORK. DONT EVER STOP BEING WHO YOU ARE AND REMEMBER TO GIVE THANKS. =)

Love
Kat
