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?

- Go to a reputable salon, like the ones we have recommended. If you can’t manage to get to one of the salon’s we’ve tested, be sure to go to one that specialises in extensions.
- Opt for real hair.
- Get your colour done before your consultation. Your extensions are matched at your initial consultation, so it’s important that your hair is the colour you wish your extensions to be.
- Take pictures. Go to your consultation with a selection of photos showing how you want your hair to look, this will help your hair extension stylist to get a true ‘picture’ of what you want.
- Buy the salon products recommended. Most salons have their own shampoos and conditioners that won’t wear down or dissolve the bonds used.
- Ask about maintenance and in-salon policies. Any reputable salon will usually offer eight week check-ups free of charge. They should also be on hand if you need tips to style your hair.
- Keep hold of any extensions that fall out – your stylist should be able to reapply them free of charge.
