September 30, 2011

Hair extensions have come a long way.  They are now very easy to use and look completely natural.  However, back in the 1980s, it seems that human hair extensions weren’t quite so readily available.  It has come to light that British actress Helena Bonham Carter wore hair extensions when she starred in the Oscar-winning film, ‘A Room with a View’ in 1985.  However, what is more surprising is that the hair was cut from a long-haired male extra on the set!
