Hair envy.

wombat1138The Ukrainian Prime Minister has gorgeous hair. Among its impressive features are that she can get it to stay that way at all (I've occasionally attempted similar braid pin-ups, but they've always succumbed to gravity).
Sadly, despite a purported public demonstration of the lack of hair-extension involvement, I'm forced to conclude that the braid can't be completely authentic. If it were, her hair would have to have impressively uniform volume down to at least waist-length, since the braid's diameter doesn't have much visible drop-off from one side to the other. But she doesn't seem to've adopted her current hairstyle until 2005 of so; pix from 2004 show that within the year before that, her hair was only at upper-bosom length, and also that the blonde color is a relatively recent development. I assume that what she must be doing is fastening a waist-length thick cluster of extensions onto her own hair with the elastic for the "low ponytail" at the nape, and then braiding all of it together from there.
