In the first picture, Blake has no extensions and is in between lengths, making for a very natural look. Her hair looks fine and thin, however. She has no body or volume and the color washes her out. She's really not making any statement. In the second picture she obviously has them in, judging by the unnatural length and fullness. She makes a much bigger statement in the second picture and the color brightens her face and makes her look younger.

Hair extensions are great for adding volume and life to the hair, but I'm not sure about Blake's. What I would do differently is make it a couple inches shorter and add a few darker blonde strands. I would also cut the number of pieces down so she would have a more natural, but still stunning, look. To achieve this I would use 18-20 inch hair with a wavy texture, 150 individual strands, and layered the cut. This look would take two to four hours.
