The Hair Extension Fail That Will Always Haunt Christina Haack
We get it; Christina Haack is deep in her dress-for-revenge era. It's been a whirlwind of sexy dresses, champagne glasses, and flowing blond hair, and we're here for it. What we don't get is why the "Flip or Flop" star keeps flopping the basics of hair-extension use and sabotaging her gorgeous look with messy, poorly blended installs. The whole point of extensions is to blend seamlessly into your natural hair, yet Haack's always loudly announce themselves.
One of her worst hair-extension fails was front and center in an Instagram post shared in June 2025. There's a visible divide between her real hair and the extensions, mainly because the extensions don't start close enough to the root and aren't evenly installed. On someone else, this might've passed, but Haack's natural hair is flatter and thinner up top, making the volume boost below look completely disconnected. The layering doesn't help either; it disrupts the flow of the hair, which leaves the top doing one thing and the bottom doing something else entirely. There's also a texture mismatch as her natural strands have a soft wave, while the extensions look stiff, over-styled, and way too much like a low-quality wig.
We get the love for added hair; Christina Haack is practically unrecognizable without hair extensions. But surely some of that "Flip or Flop" money could've gone toward a stylist who knows what they're doing? If Gwen Stefani can stay platinum for two decades without going bald, there's definitely someone out there who can fix this style emergency.
Christina Haack's hair extensions often look like unfinished hair appointments
Christina Haack's hair-extension fails, unfortunately, aren't new. Some of her worst offenses date back to 2024, and in one November vacation post, it's impossible to miss. The reality TV star had everything going for her — a gorgeous bikini, perfect lighting, and a beautiful setting — but the entire aesthetic was derailed by painfully obvious, poorly installed extensions.
The clip-ins were so visible you could practically see the clips. Worst of all, there is a glaring color mismatch. Her natural hair leans dirty blond or ash, while the extensions were several shades lighter and more golden. Add in the spongy, synthetic-looking texture, and you've got a clear contrast against her natural strands. This fail almost felt personal, like her stylist had beef.
If this recurring slip-up is a genuine mistake, the core issue is probably that Haack's team doesn't know how to prepare for getting hair extensions. Clip-ins, which she clearly favors, are generally a safer option for avoiding breakage compared to strand-by-strand bonding. However, they still require some basic prep, like color and texture matching, proper layering, and smart placement closer to the root. Until that happens, the extensions will keep looking like an intentional sabotage or a breakup with her stylist mid-appointment.
Social media wasn't having Christina Haack's hair-growth influencer posts
What's worse than having bad hair extensions? Having bad hair extensions while trying to sell haircare products. In 2024, Christina Haack posted a series of Instagram Stories that unintentionally turned into a PR disaster. The first slide was a shout-out to a stylist "for these gorgeous new hair extensions." The photo was taken from the most flattering angle possible, but even then, it was hard to miss the limp strands. Admittedly, they were a slight improvement from her usual installs, but the small win didn't last long.
Just two Stories later, Haack pivoted to product recommendations, promoting a hair-growth supplement she claimed was great for fixing thinning hair. Needless to say, the internet was not buying it. One Reddit user perfectly summed up the general sentiment: "This dork posts a story about getting fresh new hair extensions and the very next story is selling Nutrafol hair growth vitamins saying she has used them for six months and how well they work for her."
To be fair, Nutrafol actually has solid reviews across the internet. The product isn't the problem, but this one's on them for choosing Christina Haack to promote it. If you're trying to sell hair-growth supplements, maybe start by handing the influencer a few basic tips on how to care for hair extensions first.
