Hair Fair 2026 – Ade, AlaskaMetro and Ni-Ju

This years Hair Fair has had me changing my black hair look, more so than usual, or it feels that way after not blogging in a year. I also realised today that because of that I rarely look at my face. In Second Life I could be walking around without a face entirely. This hair by ADE has me wanting to look at myself all day long, the style is so beautiful and feminine and I just love that chatanooga choo choo of it all. I feel like I could walk into a Private Eyes office and convince him I am the innocent party, while it was me all along dun dun dunnnnn. I could have Gene Kelly sing a song about me that turns into a whole musical on rollerskates – if you know you know.

I knew that the Lucia hair was going to also be the perfect stage of the wonder that is the Kanzashi hair accessory by Ni-Ju. I saw it, and knew I just had to have it. What I didn’t know, because I bought it so fast I didn’t even bother to look if there was information I should be paying attention to, but it was a pleasant surprise to find out that there are left and right versions in three different looks, and I have two of the looks on in this ensemble, which is just awesome and makes me so happy.

Also making me happy, and a lovely balance with the hair colour change is the AlaskaMetro brows that are her exclusive for Hair Fair. They are going to definitely go into my rotation, as it is usually only AlaskaMetro that I change brows for from Nuve, so between the two of them I am covered and beautifully so. I also like how Alaska includes a lower option of brow, because while we do have brow shapes that change the height, arch and so on of our brows, having the brows themselves sit differently on the UV can make a world of difference to a look, so well done Alaska…always innovating.

Other things that make me happy, is going back to Hourglass by Slink because I realised that I was limiting myself so much with wearing Reborn and I had my ideal inventory already. That is not to say that I will not go back and forth, and I am lucky to be able to do so, but most of the posts have been Hourglass, and I am loving diving back into my items, because the way Second Life works and the fact that most items I have catered to multiple bodies, they are all still relevant, and as I have always said, everything old is new to someone, and I do love my older COCO ♥

Hair Fair is open until June 14th and ALL purchases made at the event donate to Wigs for Kids, Exclusives and previous releases. Not all stores have previous releases out, but so many do, so it gives you a real taste of what the stores have created over time, and some things you may have missed that donate with each purchase, a great way to get it all in at once.
