Erika Kirk's Hair Extension Slump Hits New Low At Palm Beach Bridal Shower
One major reason Erika Kirk's hair extension fails are so hard to ignore is that she always seems to show them off at important, high-profile events. And despite the extension-shaming comments that flood her social media pages, it only seems to be getting worse, judging by how she showed up at Bettina Anderson's Palm Beach bridal shower. This time, the former pageant queen's extensions looked unbrushed, stringy, and like they'd definitely seen better days. Hair extensions can certainly be reused, but just like wigs, they need to be cared for so they don't end up looking like a mess.
It'd be a different thing if Kirk's outfits were more on the dowdy side — we'd simply assume that she was in her comfy-girl or no-effort era, and go with the vibe. However, she often pairs fancy and put-together clothes with terrible hair extensions. At Anderson's bridal shower, for instance, the unkempt hair took the spotlight away from the pretty floral outfit she had on, which is ironic, since hair extensions are meant to elevate looks, not bring them down. If this former pageant queen isn't up for researching some simple tips for taking care of her hair extensions, she might be better off sticking to her natural hair.
Even Erika's natural hair looks aren't safe from styling fails
Perhaps the real issue with Erika Kirk's hair extension fails isn't the added locks, but her attitude towards her hair in general. We say this because even when she chooses to ditch her hair extensions for a more laidback vibe, she tends to overdo it. Now, we're not talking about Kirk's hair while running to the store or in the comfort of her own home. That would be expected and understandable. We're talking about how she shows up to professional events that require a certain level of poise and put-togetherness.
In March, for example, she appeared at a Turning Point USA event at Arizona State University with the worst case of bedhead we've seen in a while. Her natural locks were pulled up in a low-hanging, very messy bun, and secured with a struggling hair tie holding on for dear life. It wasn't one of those low-key classy buns either. Her hair looked dry and unbrushed, and the bun did nothing to hide it.
We're not quite sure what the rationale behind these looks is, because if there's anything Erika Kirk's sequin-heavy outfits have shown us, it's that there's still a bit of that spotlight-loving and glamorous beauty queen in there. Perhaps when it's profitable for the Erika Kirk brand, there'll be better hair days.
