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?

My favourite hairstyle – the 1920s bob with fringe – just so happens to also be the one that suits me and my wispy, fine hair most. However after years of feeling that my bob just didn’t measure up, and hours spent staring enviously at girls with those perfect blunt edges that can only be achieved with healthier, thicker locks, I decided to try hair extensions. Not just for creating the illusion of longer hair – it seems hair extensions are just the thing to make hair look thicker so I was more than happy to give them a go.
I had wefts applied (1 inch wide strips of hair) which can make your hairstyle less versatile (you can tie hair back in a low pony tail but can’t pull hair up into a top knot for example) but a couple of pieces on both sides of the head immediately helped create a sharper, thicker shape.
I now have my own sharp bob with all important blunt edges and absolutely no-one (bar my husband of course) has noticed or spotted the extensions.
Do consider cost and maintenance. Once you’ve signed up for hair extensions it could be impossible to go back! I am still devoted and contrary to popular beliefs my own hair remains in tip-top condition.
Prices start around £175 for full head wefts and £195 for full head bonds. Racoon is available in over 2000 salons nationwide; enq 01295 770999. racooninternational.com
