I searched the next day on the internet because I was dying to see it again -- it was so funny. Especially the tiny Bumpit, made for BANGS. Its like a Sarah Palin bee-hive maker. Plastic hair scaffolding. Its INSANE looking! But I guess its actually real.

LostSapphire Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,060 Last Post: 11/17/2009 Member Since: 11/4/2007	OMG my Great-Nana used to have a hair thing that did just the same thing...it was referred to as a "rat" and was this lump of fabric stuffed with cotton. She'd wrap her hair around it into a giant bee-hive on the top of her head! (wow...that's an old memory!) LS

Definitely, Maybe Ideal Rock Total Posts: 581 Last Post: 5/6/2009 Member Since: 1/12/2009	I think it would work if you have a lot of hair and/or a ton of hairspray. When I see those things I picture my hair becoming loose or something and everyone would be able to see the plastic thing.

Did I mention I love Halloween and wearing a costume. I would love to see the faces on people if I wore that to the gym however. Mrs.2Artists

Haven Ideal Rock Total Posts: 6,047 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 2/16/2007	This look was very "in" two school years ago, according to my students, at least. The girls all wore their hair like this. I saw it a lot when I was out in the city, too, so it wasn't relegated to just the suburbs. I totally tease my hair up when we're going out and I want to look like I have nice, thick hair. I'll admit it! My mom used to tell me that I was supposed to have been born a Southern girl!

I was afraid to say it, but as a person who has struggled with fine, limp hair her whole life, that product looks mighty appealing I am also interested in hearing any testimonials - good, bad ugly? I don't think I'd be wearing it to work out though - LMAO!

These are great. I think it would be hilarious to see women wear their hair to the gym like these photos. lol On a daily basis though I do "bump" my hair in the front using my bangs... no little gadgets though... Did anyone see Karas hair on American Idol last night? That's how I usually wear my hair... it keeps hair from getting in my face.

Sabine Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,883 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 8/16/2007	Although I found the commercials for this hilarious, I have to admit, shameless, that I've always loved the look of the pony tail with a little bit of volume up front (I think most people pin back long bangs for this). I've tried to do that with my hair but it doesn't work, and that little bumpit looks like it would really do the trick. I've definitely seen this look on my students, but I think it's on it's way out already.

Back in the late 60's, "wiglets" were used for the same effect. I remember my 7th grade English teacher wearing one, she was real hip back then! Also remember "Falls". They were pin in hair pieces to give extra length.

Prinny Rough Rock Total Posts: 58 Last Post: 7/12/2009 Member Since: 12/7/2008	Ok I must admit that the infomercials are hilarious but one of my best friends swears by these bumpits and always looks so stylish. I have always had very fine and limp hair, so I broke down and bought a pack of these bumpits. They work amazingly well! I don't use the huge one because I think it looks a little too much. They are so easy to insert because the plastic arrows on top and bottom stick right to hair. I would definitely reccomend to anyone who has very thin/fine hair that wants just a little extra volume. xoxo love is patient, love is kind xoxo
