Using hair extensions for your wedding day allows you to create a unique look and style for what is one of the most important days of your life. Having hair extensions applied gives you a break from your normal style and allows everyone; your friends and family to see you in a new light.
When it comes to your wedding there are many important decisions that need to be made and every woman has her own ideas and priorities about their wedding but one thing that every woman worries about is the fact of looking good on the big day. In order to achieve satisfaction with your look on your wedding day a lot of thought and effort has to go into your wedding dress and your hair style.
When you get to the point when it is time to make a decision on your wedding hair style it is important that you choose a style that complements your wedding dress and the type of wedding that you are having. Your chosen style should also compliment your personality; you need to feel comfortable with the style that you have decided on. Remember there are hundreds of different styles that you have the potential of choosing from so ensure you take your time to find one that is best suited to you. Think about your hair texture and your facial shape then have a look through some style magazines to see if you can spot any styles that match your hair type and your facial shape.
So where exactly do you begin with doing all of this? I recommend that the first decision you make about your wedding hair style is whether you want it up or down. Once you have decided that, you can then move onto what hair style you want for your wedding day.
Due to the recent celebrity trend of hair extensions we are now seeing more and more women opting to have hair extensions applied for their big day. Having them applied for your wedding is a really good idea as you have so many more options open to you. With hair extensions you get the choice of having your hair up or down as they are so versatile; they can be styled into any hair design that you want with ease.
Also when you are making the important decision about your hair style it is a good idea to visit a few salons that are known for doing wedding hair. By doing this you can ask a variety of stylists for some suggestions and advice about what style you should go for. It is important to get a collection of opinions on your hair style so that you are able to gain a picture of which style is best suited to you and which one you are most comfortable with. Yes your wedding style is yours to decide but it is helpful to know what other people think, especially close friends and family as they are the ones that know you best.

Bridal Hair Care
Your wedding day is possibly the worst time that you could suffer from a bad hair day. Woman imagine their big day from when they are girls, dreaming of what dress they will wear, where the ceremony will take place and of course what they will have done to their hair. This is why it is highly important that you thoroughly plan what you want to have done to your hair.
There are many options open to you when is comes to picking a hairstyle for your wedding day. You can create a masterpiece with your hair even though many women are often afraid of going for the style they want out of fear that it won’t look right on the day. You should speak to your stylist; make an appointment to have a consultation so that you can describe what you like and what you don’t like. Don’t worry if you have no idea of what you want when it comes to your bridal hair; your stylist will be available for suggestions. Also if you see a style that you only like part of don’t disregard it; tell your stylist what aspects of that style you like and which you don’t and explain why.
It is important that certain aspects are taken into account when it comes to deciding on the style that you want for your bridal hair. Aspects such as your personality, wedding dress and the image that you want from your wedding should be taken into account. You should think about the styles that can actually be physically done on your hair and the styles that suit your face shape.
Remember there are always little cheats to get around any problems that you may have with getting the style that you want; for example if your hair is slightly thin for the style that you want you can always fill the gaps in with flowers. If your hair isn’t quite long enough for the style you want you can have extensions applied or if you want to hold an up-do in place you can use a tiara. The options open to you when it comes to your bridal hairstyle are almost limitless.
The lead up to your big day can be a highly stressful time and it is easy to lose sight of your normal diet and exercise regimes. If this starts to happen it is important that you take time out to focus on your hair; investing in aspects such as hot oil treatment can vastly improve the overall condition of your hair. Also keeping your hair in good condition on the lead up to your wedding is vital. It is recommended that at least six months in advance of your wedding that you visit your stylist for a consultation and for a hair cut.
The practice/rehearsal of your bridal hair comes one week before your actual wedding day. On this practice run your hair will be cut/coloured for the last time before your wedding; it will also be a chance for your chosen style to be applied to your hair, complete with any accessories that you have chosen. On the night before your wedding day you need to ensure that you do not tie your hair up in any manner and that you have washed your hair on the morning.

Have you considered the benefits of Hair Extensions?
Thanks to the recent swarm of celebrities who are sporting this latest hair trend, hair extensions have become widely available to everyone with more and more colours and styles becoming available too. Hair extensions are the answer to many people’s prayers, both men and women. They allow us all to have longer, fuller and more colourful hair.
The availability of hair extensions in the past few years has shot right up meaning that whatever style, colour, texture, length or condition of your natural hair there will be a hair extension out there suited for you, it is deciding on which ones to have applied that can be the hard part but as long as you speak to a professional you will be able to find hair extensions that are perfect for you.
Most people choose to have human hair extensions applied as they provide the best texture, condition and look the most realistic but which ever type of hair extension you choose they will be blended into your natural hair for the most realistic and comfortable finish but just how do you decide the length and style of your hair extensions? You are able to have any length of hair extension that you want of up to 26” or 30”; if you opt for anything longer than this you are placing extra weight on your scalp, which may lead to uneven pressure and damage to your natural hair. For the best looking hair extensions for a woman of average height you should opt to have your hair extensions about 22” in length or less.
One question that many people often have when it comes to the application of hair extensions is whether it hurts. The simple answer to this question is no if at any stage when you are having your hair extensions applied it starts to hurt you should get out of there straight away. Stylists who are trained in all aspects of the application and removal of hair extensions should place your extensions in firmly but comfortably. The tension that you feel when they are being applied should be even all over your head with no points pulling or hurting. It is also important that you don’t put up with someone telling you it has to be really tight in order to be secure, remember pulling your hair out is not a good idea. It should be noted however that you will notice a difference in feeling on your head for the first day or two but after this time you won’t even feel that they are there.
Once your extensions have been applied it is important that you treat them with the same respect that you would treat your natural hair with; however there are a few things that are going to be slightly different and some of the things that you should be aware of are as follows:
• When brushing your hair extensions use a soft bristle brush and brush your hair from the bottom and gently work your way up
• Remember to gently tie your hair up while sleeping
• Do not colour your own hair extensions at home
• To prevent tangling, run your fingers through the braid extensions
• It is important to not spray your extensions with conditioners or any silicone based products as they can cause the braids to slip
One of the most important things to remember however when it comes to your hair extensions is to speak to your stylist, they are your best guide as to what to do and not to do when it comes to your hair extensions.

Hair Extensions
Most women at some point in their lives dreams of having long flawless hair. And the women that have painstakingly grown their hair will agree that it takes quite a bit of time and effort to keep their hair in top condition. Most of us have tried to grow our hair but often fall at the first hurdle. It gets to that awkward stage where its longer than normal but not long enough, it’s hard to style and most of us give up and get it cut.
In this day and age we don’t have to wait for anything. The instant way to getting the long hair we want is by buying either long haired wigs or long pieces of hair extensions. Hair extensions have been around for a number of years now and many movie and music stars have all adorned them at some point. They are the perfect way to create an instant long haired look.
Like anything new it’s not long before variations come out and the same can be said about hair extensions. However wearing wigs is not a new thing as it goes back a long way. As far back as the Egyptian times both men and women wore wigs or hair pieces. During the late 1800’s human hair pieces were used for the first time but not until recently were human hair extensions available.
In the beginning extensions were only worn by either the very rich or celebrities. I think the main celebrity that made hair extensions very main stream was Victoria Beckham who had dozens of hair styles based around extensions. One day she would have short cropped hair, the next she had longer hair. Being one of the most photographed women in the world, her image was on the cover of every magazine and newspaper. With this type of publicity and her and her husband’s popularity it wasn’t long before people saw the true potential of hair extensions.
There are many different types of hair extensions some are more permanent than others. If your after a non or semi permanent option you should think about clip in hair extensions. These extensions are really very easy to apply and come in all different colours and lengths. You can get them to completely match your own hair to give you longer hair, lowlights, highlights or just added volume. Clip in hair extensions come in one or multiple pieces of varying widths with a strong practically invisible clip. These clips make attaching them to your own hair very quick and simple and are virtually undetectable.
Permanent hair extensions are the ones that are fused to the hair. With this fusion method about 20 to 50 strands of human extension hair have a warm protein glue applied all around it. Then they use a clear plastic template to isolate the portion of natural hair from the rest of the scalp, the glued extension hair is then attached to a small portion of the natural hair which is pulled through a hole in the template. Then the two lots of hair are rolled together in the fingers until a smooth protein bond is made. All of this needs to get done for each extension which is why it is a long and tedious procedure. The extensions last for between 3 and 6 months before they will need either removing or redoing.
Another method is by using pre tipped strands which is where the extension strands are pre tipped with protein glue. This glue then melts and bonds to the natural hair when using a heated hair connector tool. It is thought this method uses’ less glue as it is premeasured so it leaves the hair better bonded and less likely to chip away.
If you chose to have the permanent hair extensions make sure you use a salon or hair dresser that have experience in applying these extensions. There are plenty of scare stories where people have lost their real hair because the hairdresser want experienced enough and burnt the hair or used too much glue. Getting a realistic affect will only happen when an experience hair dressers applies them. It makes sense to try and use the clip on ones until your are really sure you want the permanent ones. Clip on hair extensions are just if not more realistic than the fused on method, but the real bonus is that you are not messing with your natural hair, you are just adding more hair via clip which can be removed when and wherever you want. And each clip is only a few pounds out and they last for years.
