Having incredible hair on your wedding goes without saying; it is a must! No wedding day would be complete without having the hair of your dreams so you need a style that is not only amazing but that also compliments your face shape and your overall personality. So what would you say if I told you that you could gain any hair style you wanted to thanks to the help that is provided to you in the form of hair extensions?
By having hair extensions applied for your big day you will no longer be held back by the limitations of your existing style; you would be able to do whatever you wanted with your hair. Hair extensions are becoming extremely popular when it comes to special occasions such as weddings.
So if you are stuck in the position where you have an image of the perfect hairstyle you want but you haven’t got the right length or volume to pull it off then why not let hair extensions help you? If you take the image that you have of the style you would love to have then book an appointment with your stylist they will be able to help and advise you about the style. It is the job of your stylist after all to re-create a look that you feel is perfect for your big day. If the style that you have chosen cannot be completed with your natural locks then your stylist will be able to advise you on what extensions could do so that you can have the style of your dreams. The one thing that most brides find when they are choosing the style that they want is that they haven’t got the thickness that they need to complete the look they want. If this is the case then having extensions to enhance your thickness will mean that your hair will look how you have always wanted it to and not only that, it will hold the style you choose for much longer.
The main worry that women hold when it comes to having hair extensions applied for their big day is that they will look really fake. This is something that shouldn’t however be a problem with today’s extensions as they are the most natural looking that you can get hold of.
If you are thinking of getting extensions applied for your big day but you are unsure about the outcome of them then you can always opt to have a trial run of them. The last thing that any bride wants is a bad hair day on their wedding, which is why you are given the security of a trial run before your big day. This can be done with a temporary form of extension just so you can see if the style you want will work and what it will look like so there are no nasty surprises when you have a more permanent method applied.
Hair extensions could be used on your big day as a way of adding length, volume or colour. There is so much possibility open to you with the use of hair extensions where your big day is concerned so make the most of it! Remember this is your big day and hair extensions are giving you the perfect opportunity to do whatever you want with your style without limitations, so make the most of it!

Getting the best Human Hair Extensions
When hair extensions first appeared in the 1980’s they were generally made from synthetic fibres and dismissed as a fad. Now they are back and they are more popular than ever thanks to celebrities sporting the hair trend and more salons across the UK opening their doors to the style.
A good few years have past since the 1980’s and thankfully during these years hair extensions have been better developed and now that they are well and truly back; human hair is now the preferred choice for extensions by most salons and most stylists. It is thanks to the introduction of human hair that extensions now look and feel so natural, which is what makes them so easy to wear.
The human hair that is used by stylists for hair extensions are sourced from a variety of different countries and depending on the type of extensions you want the human hair used could come from a number of different countries. Some of the main and most popular forms are as follows:
• Indian – this is a very popular form. It has excellent quality but not quite as good as European hair. This form does however have a more limited colour range than other types but the hair dries with a slight wave to make it look natural and all the extensions sourced from Indian hair are pre-dyed so that they match a colour chart.
• European – this source is the most popular when it comes to human hair extensions. This is thanks to its soft and natural feel as well as its extensive colour range. Again this form of human hair extension dries with a natural wave and again is pre dyed so that it matches an extensive colour chart.
• Russian Virgin Hair – this form is classed as the most beautiful and rare form of hair extension as it hasn’t been dyed or chemically treated in anyway. Although this limits the colour range that this is available in; your stylist can dye the extensions to match your natural colour for an extra fee.
• Brazilian Virgin Hair – this form of human hair extension is naturally curly. It is however rare in the UK. As the texture of this extension is naturally curly it will remain that way even after it has been washed. Like Russian virgin hair, the colour range is slightly limited but again this can be sorted for a small extra fee.
The source of the human hair extension that is best for you is something that you should discuss with your stylist as they will be the most valuable source of information to you when it comes to your human hair extensions. Whichever source you do gain them from however, your stylist will be able to individually colour match each individual extension to your hair in order to add subtle highlights or lowlights to give your hair a perfect natural finish.
The most important aspect that you need to keep in mind when it comes to gaining hair extensions is to book a consultation appointment with your stylist well in advance of you having the hair extensions applied. So what are you waiting for? Get your consultation booked now!

Hair Extensions and the common Questions and Concerns PART TWO
Below are some more of the answers to the most common questions surrounding hair extensions:
• When I have my extensions applied will people be able to tell that I am wearing them?
No one should be able to tell you have extensions attached as long as you opt for a colour and style that matches your own hair. They should be so well connected to your natural that they will be indistinguishable from your natural hair and just as tough as your natural hair, meaning you will be able to shower, bath and swim with them in without having to worry.
• If I get bored of the Extensions, how much flexibility do I have with them?
Extensions aren’t just used to add length to your hair, which demonstrates just how much flexibility you are presented with them. You can wear them in a wide range of styles. So if one week you want to wear them straight then you are able to blow dry them straight; if another week you want to curl them with tongs then you are able to do this too. The possibilities that you are presented with when it comes to extensions are genuinely endless!
• Can I use them in other ways rather than just to add length?
The main use of extensions is of course to add length to your hair but for some people this isn’t the desired use of extensions. Adding volume, colour and layers to your hair are all popular ways of using extensions. If you don’t want to use harsh bleach or chemicals on your natural hair then you could ask your stylist for spot extensions that will give you either vibrant or subtle highlights. If you wish to add volume to your hair then your stylist can scatter them and cut them into your style to give your hair a great boost.
• Can I wear them when on holiday, in the pool and the ocean?
There should be no reason as to why you can’t go in the pool or ocean with them in. The one thing that you should be aware of however is that you will want to be very careful with your extensions once you come out of the water. When you do come out of the pool or ocean it is important that you rinse your hair thoroughly and that you follow all of the instructions that are given to you by your stylist.
• How long will my extensions last for?
It is important that you get your extensions checked every four to six weeks to ensure that there are no problems developing with the scalp, and to make sure the adhesive is holding well. The actually length that they will last however depends largely on the type of extensions you have applied and the skill of the stylist who is applying them as well as the method of attachment you opt for. There are many forms of attachment methods such as sown in, glued in and wefts. In generally they will last about a period of three to six months.
• I have naturally curly hair; can I get straight hair extensions?
The only way that it is advised to get straight extensions if you have naturally curly hair is if you are planning on having your natural hair permanently straightened. There are many straightening services that are on offer to you such as Brazilian hair straightening. If you don’t have a permanent straightening service done to your hair then you will more than likely have difficulty in managing your hair with the extensions in place. Having your hair straightened beforehand will make dealing with your hair extensions a lot easier.
If you have any more questions or concerns then you will have the opportunity to talk to your stylist before anything is done to your hair. Your stylists should inform you of the process that is involved and should put your mind at rest when it comes to all aspects of extensions.

Hair Extensions and the common Questions and Concerns PART ONE
Even though it has been a good few years now since hair extensions exploded onto the style scene they are showing no sign of disappearing anytime soon! It seems we are all still craving the luscious long locks that are provided to us through the use of extensions.
This long lasting hair trend can do so much for our overall look as extensions can be used in a number of different ways. They can be the perfect solution if you are trying to add colour, highlights/lowlights, volume and of course length. There is so much room for you to experiment with them that it is no wonder so many people are deciding to give them a go.
As the hair extensions trend is one that has been around for a while now and has no sign of going away it comes as no surprise that there is now an array of choice when it comes what type and style of extension you will gain. The choice of extensions and how to treat them, style them and have them applied and removed is however something that can often cause a lot of confusion and as a result there are a lot of myths flying around that extensions can damage your hair etc. So to help you sort fact from fiction and to gain a grasp of just what you need to do where your extensions are concerned here are some of the answers to the main questions and concerns that crop up about hair extensions:
• How long does my natural hair have to be to have them applied?
The answer to this question really depends on the type of extension that you are having applied; however the general starting length for natural hair can range from one inch to four or five inches. Many stylists require your locks to be at least three or four inches in length for them to feel comfortable about applying hair extensions.
• How much will having them applied cost me?
There isn’t one set price for hair extensions. The amount that they will set you back depends on certain factors such as your location, the salon you visit and what type of hair is being used. The method of attachment is another factor that may also affect the price of your extensions. In some salons you may be able to buy what is known as a package deal whereby you are paying for your extensions as well as products that can be used to keep the extensions in a good condition and your blow dry. You will however more than likely be paying anything between the regions of £150, £300, £500 to £1000.
• What do I do if they don’t suit me after they have been applied?
Before you have the extensions applied you should have a consultation with your stylist during which they will be able to advise you on what style you should adapt with the extensions and what type are best for you. If however you are still unsure after your consultation it may be a good idea to opt for a temporary method such as clip in extensions just so you can get a feel of them and then decide whether you want a more permanent form of attachment.
