BUMPITS crack me up! (blonde, product, hairstyles, girls)

[Nancy in Nokomis]

Has anyone seen those T.V. commericals for a product called Bumpit? A plastic thing you put in your hair to "bump up" the top of your hairdo. They show a tacky looking bleach blonde woman and a bunch of other women with very bad hairstyles wearing them. Are they kidding? Does someone really want to look like Samantha Stevens on drugs?

they had a segment (on the news i think...) of a woman trying it out---and no matter what she did, that plastic thing showed through...

Is that what you do these days instead of teasing your hair?

I do laugh the entire commercial. It is actually one of the few commercials I watch to the end.

another poster mentioned the thing shows through your hair. I would imagine you would have to have extremely thick hair(which I do not) and then the thing wouldn't stay in anyways.

I am in the age bracket this product is marketed to and I don't get the appeal. To each her own?

I just can't imagine how awkward it would be to have that plastic thing in your hair, and what about when it falls out???

Besides, it's so easy to get the same look with a little hairspray and teasing!

My older brother actually designed the packaging for that, so every time we're out and we see it on a shelf we make fun of it. The daughter of the [mean] lady who made Bumpits is on the front of the box.... while designing it, my brother superimposed her face onto a horse's body while he and his coworkers jokingly referred to the poor girl as "horse face".

Anyway, ridiculous product. While I hate just the thought of teasing my hair for extra volume, I'd rather do that than waste money on a cheap piece of plastic that's likely to show up through my hair anyway.

everytime I see the ad for it I immediately think of Priscilla Presley when married to Elvis,early years. Remember the big bumpit hair?

Bumpits make girls look like Coneheads with hair
