I pride myself on being unique and having a style different than others. I also feel the same way about my hair. After my BC I wont have as much hair to work with and style so I was wondering what all things do or did you ladies do to give your BC its own personal flare? Also my ears aren't pierced and i wear clip ons but i know that with a short cut earrings will be essential. Do any of you know of some cool places to get clip ons?

I'm not feeling the texture or the moisture content but the color is not pleasant to look at. I'm contemplating putting a weave in because I need to test drive the ...
