It's not great unless it's fake

I have long blonde hair. Sounds fabulous? It's not. It is brittle, luster-less and frizzy (no matter how much expensive shampoos and conditioners I use). It only has the potential for fabulous. All I want is a little Alexa Chung action here. I know my hair is longer than hers, but surely it can’t be that hard to put a bit of curl/body in there without making it look like it needs a good wash?

According to belasugartv, it's quite simple:

Hair dryer? Check. Leave-in conditioner? Check? Sexy beachy waves resembling Demi Moore?...

I'm completely hopeless.  I see beautiful wavy and luscious locks of hair on everyone but me. How is that possible? Am I missing a gene? Did they teach this during homeroom in high school? (Mum told me I'd regret arriving late to school everyday. I thought she meant detention. If I knew it meant a lifetime of walking around town with a cap on my head, I would've listened.)

So what's the logical solution? Fake hair - extensions, clips, pieces... anything not naturally grown on my head. Clearly, I am incapable of doing what everyone else seems to be able to achieve without any effort. 

In a world trending towards natural and organic, I'm starting to believe in the power of fake. Especially if everyone else is "real". Sure, for a split second someone might doubt your authenticity, but it's almost always quickly forgotten because no one does fake anymore (that, my friend, is the power of going against the trend). If the blonde bird-nest stuffed under my cap proves anything, it is that it's not great unless it's fake.
