What do Celebrities Wear?

So who gets hair extensions? Many celebrities get hair extensions for various movie roles. The celebrity factor is what has catapulted the popularity of hair extensions over the last 5 years. When you see magazine covers with famous actors having long, flowing natural looking long hair, you begin to think that maybe you could get the same look. Once thought as a rich person?s service, hair extensions have become much more affordable and even practical for everyday consumers.

Within the industry of sessions styling it is well known that clip in extensions have been used for years. Clip ins were the extension trade secret of the stylists that worked at photo shoots and catwalks! Hair extensions, whether applied with glue, bonds or sewn in all have related problems. The clip in hair extension has far moved on from the days of the trashy high ponytail claw clip. Most importantly they are the only type of extension that doesn't damage your hair in any way and they truly do look as fabulous and real as the other type of extensions currently available. Why wouldn't they! After all they are made using the exact same beautiful quality hair as a glue extension system. The only difference is the use of a clip.

Many of my clients were secretly wearing the clip in hair extension long before people knew they existed. Clip ins enabled me to dramatically change a clients appearance in a realistic way. I think the greatest advantage is being able to style the extensions before my clients are even in sight. Before a model sets foot on a photo shoot the design team are busy creating mood boards and sampling textures and ideas. Every detail of the project from shoe color to hair texture is determined before hand. On the morning of the shoot I can often be found surrounded by beautifully styled hair that isn't even attached to a persons head. The models arrive, I prep their hair, clip in the extension and off they trot to make-up. It makes my job a dream, all the prep work can be done before hand without the stresses you normally go through on set.

Now that the clip in extension is so easily available to the public the trends you see on catwalks will easily be achievable to the masses. Saturday nights out will see girls fashioning fabulous healthy looking hair more so than ever before. I think clip in extensions are here to stay for the long run, whether on set, in the salon or at home!
