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?

Dianne Marshall

Dianne Marshall, Manchester, Liverpool and London

Dianne Marshall has been specialising in the art of hair extensions for 22 years and has worked with the likes of Kate Winslet for her film Titanic, Gwyneth Paltrow for Shakespeare in Love as well as boasting numerous other celebrity clients.
Dianne’s technique involves weaving in the extensions, rather than gluing and heat bonding, so if, like me, you’re a little nervous about any damage that could be caused to your own tresses – you can rest assured you’re in safe hands with Diane.
I have always been envious of women with long, thick hair that can be elaborately styled or left effortlessly wavy. My hair is that awkward on-the-shoulder length and refuses to grow and it takes far too much effort to make it look good. I couldn’t wait to see if hair extensions would solve my hair problems.
After Dianne had attached the extensions, cut my hair and styled it, I was shocked at how natural it looked and was over the moon with the end results. I now have to visit Dianne every six weeks to have the braids retightened which is quite a commitment, but I am happy to stick to it and invest the time if it means my hair looks better. Plus if I follow the maintenance guidelines the hair will last anywhere between 12 – 24 months.
The best thing? On lazy days I can press snooze as when left to dry naturally my hair now has an effortless, beachy look. I’m hooked.
Prices start from £400, enq 0845 869 3244 / enquiries@diannemarshallhair.co.uk. diannemarshallhair.co.uk. Dianne will travel to Manchester, Liverpool and London.
