Reese Witherspoon dons hair extensions for Oscars glamour

February 28, 2011

Oh how we love the Oscars.  This is the one time we get to see all the hottest stars of the big screen dressed fully to impress.  And one of our favourite looks from last night’s bash came courtesy of Reese Witherspoon, who added human hair extensions to her blonde locks to transform herself into a true retro beauty, reminiscent of Brigitte Bardot.

Reece styled her hair extensions into a wide ponytail, with lots of volume and movement.  It’s quite a unique look but one that everyone can re-create with a little practice.  Here’s how you do it.

Cher Lloyd channels Rihanna

February 25, 2011

X-Factor star Cher Lloyd has been known as a mini Cheryl Cole ever since she first auditioned on the reality TV show, as she has consistently copied her mentor’s style, from the long hair extensions and fishtail plaits, right down to the same make-up and clothing.

However, judging by the look she’s been working on the X-Factor tour, it seems Cher has a new idol – Rihanna.   Not only has she plumped for bright red hair extensions like the R n B star, she has also begun to completely mimic her style.

Cher leapt about on stage in Dublin with a head f ...read more.

How to get fishtail plaits like Cheryl and co

February 23, 2011

Plaits were one of the hottest hair trends towards the end of last year and they only seem to be getting more and more popular in 2011.  Braids are still all over the red carpets and catwalks, with stars such as Nicole Richie, Jessica Alba and Kate Hudson all putting their own twist on the style.

If you want to join the braidy bunch, then you will find clip-in hair extensions a godsend.  Clip them in at the nape of your neck to give you more hair to play with as you start weaving your way to one of the hottest looks.

Plaits are also a good choice if your hair isn&r ...read more.

Paris Hilton opens up

February 21, 2011

She’s often in the headlines for all the wrong reasons (the most recent being the hair extensions lawsuit), but we still covet Paris Hilton’s hair (and wardrobe).  This week, the heiress turned 30 and she has spoken out about her turbulent life in the limelight.

Paris told E! News that she lived a “crazy 20s”, that she has learned “many life lessons” and that it has all made her the stronger person that she is today.

The party-loving heiress says that creating her own brand has been her greatest achievement so far – and under th ...read more.

Beyoncé, the blonde bombshell

February 18, 2011

Beyoncé has long been one of our favourite hair extensions devotees but she hasn’t tended to stray from her trademark wavy brunette tresses – until now.

The international pop icon has made quite a dramatic change by switching to platinum blonde hair extensions.  She was spotted out in Hollywood this week looking quite the bombshell, and her bold attire seemed to be making a statement as well: a black, figure-hugging mini dress was accessorised with gravity-defying, turquoise Louboutin heels.  Passers-by did notice that the star was struggling to walk pro ...read more.

Hair extensions spare Miley’s blushes

February 16, 2011

Miley Cyrus wowed everyone at the Grammys earlier this week with her shimmering gown and super-long hair extensions.  But it would appear those lovely long tresses served another purpose – that of protecting her modesty.  For if had not been for those hair extensions, Miley would have been exposing a rather unfortunate wardrobe malfunction…a dress that didn’t quite cover the side of her cleavage!

Perhaps Miss Cyrus was keen to show off her new underarm ‘dreamcatcher’ tattoo?  Or maybe she was just being a bit cheeky?  The teen pop s ...read more.

Stars sparkle at the Grammys

February 14, 2011

The Grammys are always a great night for fashion and last night’s bash in LA did not disappoint.  However, rather than the usual mixed bag of choices, there were two key trends to emerge – metallics and hair extensions.

Everywhere you looked, there were sparkly gowns galore.  Jennifer Lopez was one of the stand-outs.  The singer, actress and American Idol judge went for a tiny Emilio Pucci dress, silver Louboutins and some gorgeous Cartier jewellery – coupled with some extra long, straight hair extensions.

Teen queens Selena Gomez and Miley C ...read more.

Leona Lewis’ bold reinvention

February 11, 2011

February 9, 2011

Your hair extensions will give you long, flowing locks which are perfect for a romantic night out.  However, as gorgeous as they are on their own, it’s good to have a change sometimes.

Two styles which are really popular right now are chignons and top knots – and both of these sexy up-do’s are sure to impress your date on Monday night.

The Chignon is a classic style where your hair is twisted into a low bun at the nape of your neck.  You can choose to have a few loose tendrils around the face to add softness.  Hair extensions will add extra b ...read more.

February 4, 2011

It’s only been a fortnight since she announced her marriage split, but it’s very much back to business as usual for Katie Price, who went back to work yesterday signing copies of her latest autobiography in Milton Keynes’ Asda.

February 24, 2010

How to Blend and Feather Your Extensions

February 4, 2010

If you look at photos of short-haired celebrities who take the plunge with long, beautiful extensions, one thing you won't notice is that tell-tale 'shelf' where their natural hair ends and the extensions begin. Even those with naturally short hair - Paris Hilton, Frankie Sandford of 'The Saturdays' and Katie Holmes to name just a few- make sure the two are cleverly blended.

One great tip is to wait until your install is complete and then use a razor comb (gently) drawn downwards from just above the 'join' area. This will graduate the ends of your hair as well as the top layer of ...read more.

Using Extensions To Create Stunning Up-Do's

February 1, 2010

To create a cute pony-tail with clip-in extensions, try fitting the bottom rows upside-down. This enables you to sweep them upwards without creating any unsightly bumps or visible clips. You can fit the top rows as normal or, for a 60's sex kitten look as seen on Nicole Ritchie, try back combing the top of your own hair then smoothing a comb over it to create a volume 'bump' over your top extension rows.

This style will work just as well on bonded weft extensions, just be careful to brush your own hair back over the bonded areas (this may be easier if you make the po ...read more.
