Hair Extensions
You can hold Cheryl Cole (with her perfectly coiffed, sexy hair) and more recently Drew Barrymore, (with her hyper-real, retro hairstyle that surely can’t be achieved with backcombing alone) responsible for the current global obsession with super long hair.
And, like Cheryl and Drew, if you have neither the time nor the inclination to wait for your locks to grow before the next, new hair trend takes your fancy - follow suit, take the A-list option and fast-track your hair to ‘long and lustrous’ with a bit of help from the experts this summer.
We put hair extensions to the test and ask if they really are a good option when you don’t have a celebrity hairstylist on speed dial?

Lucinda Ellery boasts an impressive celebrity client list that includes Cheryl Cole, Peaches Geldof and Rachel Hunter. The salon also specialises in helping people suffering with alopecia. If you’re looking to hair extensions to solve the problem of fine hair, then make this your go-to salon.
I arrived at the salon anticipating a total transformation: from blunt, thin bobbed hair into long, lustrous lengths. However my stylist immediately explained that the lengths need to be ‘layered in’ to look natural, so they would have to cut my hair even shorter to achieve this look. Under her wise supervision I opted for extensions that would add volume, rather than length to my style. I’d never had thick hair so this was exciting enough – as was the price – thickening costs about one third less than going long because less hair is generally needed.
Afterwards I was impressed - I have never seen my hair looking so ‘red-carpet’, it’s remarkably easy to style and my boyfriend loves my ‘new’ hair so much, he has offered to go halves with me on all my future hair extensions – result!
