Leia’s Falls FAQ

I'm putting this up per Jenny's request...I sent it to Karen, but didn't hear back (she's a very busy woman, after all).  Feel free to ask other questions or add to it!

Falls are an easy way to change your hairstyle.  You can add length or change your hair's color or texture in just a few moments.

How do falls attach to my hair?

elastic

lace

 

 

The clip methods are probably the easiest as they simply snap shut around your ponytail.  Drawstring falls often have a comb anchor and are pulled tight around the ponytail or bun.  Bobby pins may also be used for extra stability.

Okay...back in a moment w/pics

This is awesome, Leia. I'm in the process of updating everything this weekend. I haven't heard from Karen in a while, so I'm assuming she's on vacation or something and will be able to create stickies out of all the kiosks when she gets back. :)

Thank you Thank you Leia!
