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?

Connect Hair Extensions

Connect Hair Extensions, London
Connect Hair Extensions in Chalk Farm has tamed the tresses of Cheryl Cole, Sharon Stone and Victoria Beckham amongst others. Nervous? Of course not – if it’s good enough for the A-Listers…
Unfortunately I inherited a thin mane that barely grows and has been the bane of my life, so I was more than thrilled to try hair extensions. After having the extensions individually heat bonded to my own hair it looked and felt like everything I had dreamed of… thicker, glossier and, most importantly, longer. However, my lack of styling prowess soon became an issue and as a result I took to wearing my hair pulled back into a loose ponytail as styling such long locks was time consuming, tricky and unfortunately essential for an A-list look.

Long hair extensions are a great treat and a good way to make a statement with your look – for the short term. They are ideal for special occasions, especially if you can pay someone to style them for you, but perhaps not suitable as a permanent beauty solution if you’re a low maintenance kind of girl like me.
Prices start from £500, enq (020) 7483 3845. connecthairextensions.com.
