Long flowing hair can be a thing of beauty but for some women the words 'all things in moderation' seem to have little meaning, as they grow their hair to extreme lengths with no thought to style or the boundaries of good taste. In fact, for some women their long hair becomes a form of addiction and the thoughts of lopping off their locks is more than they can bear.
Implications - Other women, however, relish in the feeling of a long mane of hair. These extensions, although horrifying to some, are perfect for women itching to have a long ponytail but lack the time or patience to grow out their own locks.
