7 Reasons Hair Extensions Are the Best Invention EVER

Newsflash: My hair doesn't grow -- at all. OK, that might be a bit of an exaggeration. It grows maybe an inch every year. But for a girl obsessed with long, gorgeous hair like this newlywed celebrity's, one inch per year is like watching paint dry. Only worse.

So seeing these 17 gorgeous, long hairstyles that I couldn't do on my own hair was such a tease -- especially when they came with such easy step-by-step tutorials. That is, until the day I discovered hair extensions. It was like getting the one thing you've wished for since you were a little girl. You could say it was a life-changing moment for me.

With my new (fake) long hair, I was able to try out a few really crazy hairstyles like these. And once I got a handle on them and started looking for some celebrity inspiration to try out, I was amazed by what I found. Aren't these the most beautiful long hairstyles you've ever seen? I'm working on them next. Who's with me?

What I want to know: If you have long hair, will you be trying any of these looks? Or have I converted anyone into an extensions-loving addict like myself? Sound off in the comments.
