Hair Extensions Trends for Summer 2010

It seems summer is finally here, and as well as a new wardrobe, it's also the perfect opportunity to try out new hairstyles, shapes and colors. If your clients are leery to commit, but are feeling adventurous and experimental, hair extensions could provide the excitement they crave. Whether it is a splash of color, or extra length for a special occasion, extensions are versatile and can transform hair in a matter of minutes. They are still a favorite with celebrities, especially for adding volume and length, and an essential part of any session stylist's kit bag. So, what are the trends for the summer? Paul Falltrick, of Paul Falltrick Hairdressing in Essex, talks through the top three trends you should be offering your clients.
Hair Extension Trends:

Thickness
Using hair extensions to add thickness and volume is on-trend this season. Jennifer Lopez would not be able to create the different looks she reveals week after week without hair extensions. She provides the perfect platform to display the versatility of hair extensions. They can be styled and curled easily as they have slight natural movement, but they can also be applied to enhance fullness within the hair.

Color
Extensions are available in a huge array of colours, so there's the perfect colour match and blend to suit each and every individual, whether they have a block colour or a mixture of highlights and lowlights. Using a mixture of tones is popular this season as it gives a beautifully natural result. There are also fashion shades that are typically used for panel work to create flashes of colour to update a client's look instantly and enhance the cut. This is a key trend for summer as it gives the style more personality, particularly with shorter choppy cuts like Frankie from The Saturdays.

Length
Long hair extensions with gloss and lustre are still really popular with clients. Extended tresses look timeless and beautiful, especially when smooth and sleek. A lot of clients love the bed-head tousled look to keep up with fashion trends this season, copying celebrities like Paris Hilton, who has added length and body to her style using extensions. Adding length is also popular for those trying to grow out a bob.

DWTS and Clip On Hair Extensions

 

Dancing With the Stars head hairstylist Mary Guerrero admits everyone on the show wears clip in hair extensions. “The secret of locking in the hair extensions, says Mary, is using products, hairclips and rubber bands that we criss-cross pins to, so that it will be ready for stunt hair.” So don't feel bad if you don’t have as much hair as Pamela Anderson . . . it’s a fantasy! You too can enhance your natural beauty with our Clip-On Hair Extensions for bigger, longer hair.   

Kelly Rowland Has A Big New Hairdo

She was recently spotted at the book launch for make up artist Scott Barnes new book “About Face”. To get this look, try our Sultry Deep Curly hair extensions.  

Cassie Changes Her Look Once Again

and We LOVE it. The R & B singer Cassie was seen last night at the Metropolitan Museum debuting her new hair color. She added a little spark to an already funky hairdo by adding color. Cassie looks stunning in her golden blonde hair swept to the side with big waves. What do you 
think, hot or not? Want to get this look, try our Sultry Wavy hair extensions.

Jessica Alba Gets Hair Extensions

Back in February, Jessica was seen sporting a super cute short shaggy bob at the Valentine’s Day premiere. Yesterday, Jessica Alba showed off her newly lengthened locks at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of her latest film The Killer Inside Me. 
I love her with long hair, but I think the extensions need to be layered. Layering hair extensions makes them look more natural and blend well with your own natural hair. Even if they are applied the right way, they won't look as natural if they have a blunt cut. I do like the dark brunette shade on her though. What do you guys think?

Wavy Hair

If long and straight just isn’t your thing, add some volume by adding some waves to your mane. You can even expand your look by adding a little extra to your own lovely locks. We won’t tell. To achieve this look try our Indian wavy hair available in all lengths from 10" to 26".

Lauren Conrad Dishes on Getting Hair Extensions

Reality TV star Lauren Conrad recently confessed to having hair extensions. When asked about her famously long wavy hair, she replied, "these are all extensions." "I chopped my hair off to my shoulders. I thought I was doing a chic bob. It was so bad," says the chick novelist and designer. 


To get Lauren Conrad inspired hair our Indian Straight hair extensions  preferably in lengths 18"-26" with some long layers in it to break it up a little. It’s always better when wearing your hair so long to have some kind of curl and shape in there to help it appear natural.

Get Christina Milian Glamourous Wavy Hair

Say hello to baby Violet, the daughter of music producer The Dream and "Dip It Low” singer/actress Christina Milian. I absolutely love this look on her.

Love the wavy hair? Get Christina Milian's gorgeous, sexy, wavy locks with our Indian Remy Wavy hair extensions. Our Indian Remy Wavy hair comes in lengths 10" to 26" and is available in machine weft, hand tied weft and fusion tipped hair.

Lindsay Lohan's Hair Extensions

Lindsay Lohan's hair extensions do not blend with her natural hair. The hair extensions look frazzled and the color doesn't match, resulting in unnatural looking hair extensions. We recommend color matching the hair extensions with your own natural hair. If your hair is between colors, you can always dye them to match your hair. It's always best when wearing long hair extensions to add layers to break the hair up. This gives you more styling options, makes the hair easier to maintain, and gives the hair shape for a natural look.

Kate Gossline's New Hair Extensions

This is not a good blending Job on Kate Gosselins extensions (see picture on the left). Remember when applying pre-tipped hair extensions to stay within 4-6 inches of your own hair length for the most natural result. Judging from a recent picture of Kate Gosselin's hair (see picture on the right) it looks like she got it right this time. It looks natural and sophisticated.

Jerseylicious Big Hair Trends

First, there was Jersey Shore, now there is Jerseylicious, a reality show that follows the lives of real Jersey girls working at the Gatsby Salon. In New Jersey bigger is better, from the big personalities to the big hair. It doesn't get any bigger than this. If your hair is on the thin side or not long enough, our hair extensions will help you achieve Jerseylicious hair. Big hair first became popular in the 1950's with hairstyles like the beehive and is now making a big comeback thanks to shows like Jerseylicious and Jersey Shore.

BIG HAIR 101

Big hair requires some work below is an easy to follow guide on how to bump it up..
• Use hair spray. Spray clean hair thoroughly to add texture and control flyaways.
• Start teasing . Place the comb at the end of the hair shaft and work your way to the scalp with "in and out" motions.
• Spray again. Use another round of hair spray to keep the hair in place.
• Brush with care. To undo the teasing, use a natural boar bristle brush, gently working from the end of the hair shaft toward the scalp.
