I made these leopard print extensions to go with a leopard print dress, and, of course, leopard print make-up. I think I'll do a make-up test later. I want something more than just leopard eyes. Anyway, ignore my huge looking forehead and crappy looking makeup. I didn't feel like freshening up my makeup for pics haha. Oh well....

"How-to make Leopard Hair extensions"
1. Buy a bag (or half a bag, if the store allows it) of platinum blonde HUMAN (not synthetic!) hair extensions (with a track/weft). These are found cheapest at "hair stores" or cheap, hole-in-the-wall beauty supply stores.
2. Cut a desirable size segment of the extension (about 1-1.5") at the track/weft
3. Lay the extension down on a piece of foil and tape the top and very bottom to the foil.
4. Mix up about a tablespoon of a medium natural blonde haircolor (in tube, I buy at Sally's) with equal parts developer (I used 10V) in a bowl.
5. Do the same with a dark brown haircolor.
6. Using a Q-tip, apply medium blonde blotches at desirable parts of the extension (this will be the lighter color in the middle of the leopard print).
7. Using another Q-tip, apply the dark brown color to the outsides of the blotches, creating the leopard look. (Don't worry if you mix the dark brown and medium blonde haircolor at the edges, the brown will take over and it won't make a difference.)
8. Let sit for about 20 mins.
9. Wash the haircolor out of the extension, and dry with a blow-dryer or allow to air dry.
10. Sew weft on to a hair extension clip (I bought mine at Sally's: Snap Clips).
11. Clip in hair, and enjoy!
