Jessica Martinez has shoulder-length curls. But on any given day, she may have long braids, wild waves or a hot-pink bob. When she's feeling especially wild, she might have five styles of hair at once.
That's one of the benefits of being the company trainer at Wigs.com, which sells wigs, hairpieces and extensions. Her clothes are on one side of her closet; her 30 hairpieces, from hair wraps to a fall, are on the other.
"I'm like a kid in a candy store," says Martinez. "Some days I have long hair, some days I have short hair."
Girls with curls have more options these days, thanks to the variety of temporary extensions and hairpieces that can instantly give them a different look without spending a lot of money.
"They are so easy you can do them yourself," says curly-hair stylist Dana Kaplan of M Salon in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Hairpieces were once considered something for old ladies or people with medical conditions. But with the new technology and a wide variety of options, they've gone mainstream. Whether you desire straight hair, highlights or a long curly ponytail, there's a product for you.
