May 30, 2011

Rihanna has been the subject of much discussion regarding her saucy outfits, but this weekend she was spotted out in New York looking almost demure in comparison to her recent numbers.  The dress was short and black but our attention was naturally drawn to her flame red hair extensions which are back - and looking cooler than ever.  She added a quirky twist by adding two buns on the side of her head.

Rihanna’s cascading red hair extensions have apparently been inspired by none other than Disney’s Little Mermaid!  The pop star tweeted a pic of herself on Su ...read more.

May 13, 2011

She changes her hairstyle as often as most of us change our socks and the latest look which Lady Gaga models for the new, Asian issue of V Magazine is suitably bizarre.  Her hair extensions look fabulous – long, sleek and black.  However, she manages to turn into a monster (albeit a glam one), by posing with three heads on her body, for the publication’s cover.

The outlandish pop sensation, 25, poses in a corset and racy pull-up stockings and models three different, quite unique hair styles, each featuring extra-long, black hair extensions – with a few bl ...read more.

Why Princess Kate is our new Style Queen

May 2, 2011

It’s a modern day fairytale.  Just a few years ago, she was simply Kate Middleton, a classic English Rose but unworldly and ever so slightly gauche.  But on Friday, Princess Catherine looked elegant and unashamedly royal: every part the Queen-in-waiting.

Kate opted for a very natural look for her wedding; refreshingly simple yet glamorous.  Her much-admired brunette tresses were, as we had expected, given a boost by some human hair extensions, to complete her stunning ensemble.

Janet Jackson’s gone for the chop

May 21, 2010

Janet Jackson has always boasted a fine mane of glossy, voluminous locks (with a little help from some hair extensions).  But this week she revealed an altogether much harsher look: a short, boyish crop.

The 44-year old singer has not yet disclosed her reasons for the change. Certainly she’s not had an easy time of it lately following the untimely death of her brother, Michael, and the end of her seven-year relationship with music producer Jermaine Dupri last year.  Perhaps she wanted to mark a new chapter in her life?  She’s rumoured to now be dating Wiss ...read more.

He is not one of the most obvious wearers of hair extensions, but celebrity wrestler Hulk Hogan has admitted to using them since splitting from ex-wife Linda.  No, he wasn’t making a statement post break-up and apparently hair extensions devotee Brooke had nothing to do with it either….he actually managed to destroy his real hair in a home dye disaster!

May 17, 2010

Do you mirror the hair habits of celebrities like Agyness Deyn, Victoria Beckham and Lindsay Lohan, and find yourself chopping and changing your look?  If so, there could be a reason for this which runs deeper than a simple desire for a re-vamp.

It seems to be the norm for many of these celebrities to switch from blonde to brunette, from blunt crops to voluminous hair extensions – making complete transformations just about every time they visit a salon.  They may just be one step ahead of the latest trends, but a recent study suggests that changing hairstyles can be ...read more.

May 12, 2010

Britney Spears has done a great job of reviving her image, following her very public meltdown in 2007.  Her singing career is back on track and as far as her personal life goes, she’s kept a pretty low profile for some time.  However, the one thing she hasn’t yet fixed, is her hair.

Her golden hair extensions were once her crowning glory.  However, since she cut them off that fateful night 3 years ago, she’s been looking positively toxic.  Dark roots, ratty ends and a complete lack of style are seemingly holding the former pop princess back from ...read more.

May 10, 2010

Victoria Beckham has experimented with just about every hairstyle going, from short, peroxide crops to tumbling, curly hair extensions.  And judging from the photos taken this weekend as she went to board her plane from Heathrow to LA, the former Spice Girl has gone back to the look which she sported when she first shot to fame in the early 90s – the long "posh bob", also known as the Pob. 

While this seems to be the default option for the pop star-turned-fashion designer, it remains to be seen just how long this incarnation of the Pob will last as she seems ...read more.

Heidi Klum's new bob: hot or not?

May 5, 2010

Supermodel Heidi Klum has ditched her trademark tumbling, honey blonde locks for a plain and simple bob, with face-framing layers and a fringe.  The German mum-of-four says she quickly tires of the same look and with her busy lifestyle, this is probably a low maintenance option.  It seems the media, however, are divided on the new look.  Some are branding it "sexy, sassy and sophisticated", where other quarters claim she looks aged by the cut and "more Stepford Wife than Supermodel".

Opinions aside, what does the new look mean for her career? Hei ...read more.
