The Bandit by Paris Hilton

August 26th 2008 02:08
You may not likely end up as Paris’ BFF anytime soon (yes, I hear a chorus of disappointed cries), but at least you can have hair like this talentless, publicity-whore socialite Barbie Doll. We all know Paris likes to change her hairstyles as much as she changes her pooches and it’s all thanks to hair extensions. Now, she’s teamed up with Dreamcatchers to come up with the ‘first interchangeable hair extension headband’ known as The Bandit.

No, it's not another sex video...


*from Dreamcatchers.

Made of the ‘finest virgin European hair’ – can someone please shed light on what this means? – The Bandit is unlike any other hair extension system because it attaches to a headband with velcro, an ‘ultimate method of attachment which protects your own hair from any undue stress or damage’ as it doesn’t use glues, waxes, chemicals and/or weaves.

It comes in 8 different shades (including Paris’ trademark Playboy Bunny blonde) and in 3 different lengths to transform your dull, lifeless natural mane to beautiful, luxurious locks – much like Paris’.

Now, I probably would have bought into this if not for two things. The first and major factor it being Paris Hilton. Personally, I think anything endorsed by Paris should automatically be flushed down the toilet while cackling and humming ‘Nothing in this world can stop us tonight’ and the second thing, well, just check this out from Mail on Sunday:

The Bandit rears its ugly corks

This was at a Hollywood red carpet event on August 14. An otherwise perfectly coiffed hairstyle was marred when she turned around and revealed, shock horror, The Bandit.

On top of that, the launch of The Bandit in Malibu had a reporter from inquisitr.com observing, “Her hands kept reaching up to make sure the hair extensions were still there.”

Eek.

I think when it comes to hair, my grey locks are as good as they'll ever get. Healthy inside, healthy outside, minus the colour, of course, but just what is Paris' natural colour?, I don't think the poor lamb has a lot up top but the need for that varies as the money goes up. I'll let you guess where I sit.

Well done, Aimz, I'll be looking to you for some popularity tips.

After those hairy events, maybe she should get someone else to endorse the product for her

Kat, I saw a pic of her when she was young and she looked blonde. Unless she had a habit of dyeing her hair blond when she was 3 years old - which actually doesn't surprise me.

Louie, I might have to add that in wikipedia.

Lara, or these companies should get some brain and stop getting her to endorse them!

Eeew, eeew, eeew. Ugly polyester Barbie hair on a piece of plastic. Just as tacky as the person whose name is attached to it.

And she is a natural blonde, although not platinum blonde of course. But her real eye colour is brown.

‘finest virgin European hair’ - too damn funny! Paris has nothing virginal about her. They should've teamed up with Britney Spears instead

The bandit is a headband with hair, but it still has a backpiece, like a head cap on it to make the hair longer and fuller.

it's def not a bandit in that pic. the bandit DOES have a cap that holds the longest parts of the extension, but it DOESN'T use micro beads like the tacky picture supposed to be the Bandit. I don't know where virgin hair came from either, The Bandit is actually made of modacrylic, which is so not real hair i don't even know where to start about that.

Even though it's not what's in the disaster photo, i'd still stay away from the bandit. It looks just....cheap and nasty.

Whoever wrote this article ia an idiot who needs to do some rsearch. The picture posted is not of "the bandit". Also, the bandit does no claim to use real hair. Please save yourself embarassment in the future by actually knowing what you are talking about. Thanks

Virgin Euro Hair (in case you never got clarification on this in the last 3 yrs and still happen to care) just means that it's never been dyed or chemically processed and when they call it "european" usually just means that they mass harvest it from places (usually) Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova. The cheaper human hair is usually, asian or indian hair.
