Hair: the good & the bad

About a year ago, I made a rather spontaneous decision to chop off my hair--I was bored with it and thought a drastic change was in order. The thrill lasted about an hour, and I have been growing it out since then. I am envious of girls who look great with any haircut! Have you seen Emma Watson's new cropped 'do? I was thrilled to see her bold new look--she pulls it off so well. Are you brave enough to try this style?

My hairstyle-induced excitement was quickly subdued as I flipped through the latest issue of Elle and laid my eyes upon human hair jewelry. I'm all for innovative fashion, but this is a little too alternative for me. Where did this trend (dare I call it that?) come from? I suppose it shouldn't be such an odd concept to  embrace since we wear animal fur, but I don't see myself excitedly dressing in human hair anytime soon.  Am I alone on this one?
