| In the ultra fast paced, jet setting, high glamour | | | | Talking about hair extensions, even those contribute |
| world of fashion modeling, anything and everything is | | | | to the chaos of the photo shoot. The many styles |
| done and more to ensure that the final end product, | | | | of hair extensions wigs to choose from are plentiful |
| the photo shoot, the video shoot or the ramp way | | | | from the latest European hair weft fad to Asian, |
| fashion modeling gig goes smoothly. From the | | | | American or Russian hair extensions, just choosing |
| Portuguese’s ‘Desenrascanco’, the | | | | which ones to use in a particular shoot will overwhelm |
| word they use to describe the art of slapping | | | | you, much less to keep track of all of them on the |
| together a solution to a problem at the last minute, | | | | night itself. Most of the time, models are thrown out |
| with no advanced planning, and no resources, miracles | | | | into the public eye with a prayer that their ensemble |
| in the fashion world are performed at a daily basis. | | | | doesn’t fall apart for the duration that they are |
| The word literally means "to disentangle" yourself out | | | | out there. It’s a fair assessment considering that |
| of a bad situation and having been around long | | | | sometimes their wigs and dresses are barely put |
| enough to see what goes on behind the curtains, it is | | | | together with adhesive tape and staples. |
| a wonder that models can actually come out and | | | | While some people pride themselves with a healthy |
| strut their way down the ramp with confidence in | | | | dose of desenrascanco and can seal the deal with a |
| front of the flashing lights and discerning stares of | | | | few nuts and bolts and a lot of adhesive tape, and in |
| the public. | | | | my opinion it is absolutely needed in this line of work, |
| For instance with the numerous hair, make up and | | | | there are some out there, the rock of any |
| clothes changes in any given photo or video shoot, a | | | | production, who has slaved and toiled throughout |
| model must be wearing at least four or five sets | | | | several sleepless nights just to get everything ready |
| from the box of bulk hair extensions that they keep | | | | for the shoot. They count for something too. In the |
| in the back, maybe more. From the fashion directors, | | | | end, it is the final product that does matter. If the |
| to the producers and the art directors, they all have | | | | models look good and the camera loves them and |
| input on the best hair extensions that the models | | | | most importantly, the people love them, then it is all |
| should wear during the production. | | | | that matters. |
