All about hair extensions

Hair extensions are a fantastic way to add volume and length to your hair - whether your hair is naturally thin or you have had a disastrous hair cut, they may be the best remedy.

Extensions are also used for colour treatments - if you don't want your hair to be bleached or coloured you can use strips of artificial hair to do the job for you therefore protecting your natural hair.

Celebrity Hair Resources suggests that Kate Beckinsale may have used extensions for the colour in her hair in this photo, however the beauty of extensions is that (if properly done!) you can't tell the difference between real hair and added strands.

There are different ways to add extensions include clipping them in, bonding, cold and warm fusion, braided and sewn in.

However hair extensions can be very pricey, and aren't always suitable for everyone. Make sure that your hairdresser is qualified to add extensions, and that the right technique is applied depending on your hair's condition.

Rachel Hunter, Katie Price and Kylie are all reported to have had hair extensions to enhance the length and volume of their hair over the years. Posh also had hair extensions prior to her famous Pob.
