Some of us girls like to check out celebrities? latest looks and trends in magazines and online and imitate their styles, well, if they can do it, and it's affordable, why can't we? Hair extensions have been pretty popular on and off for a number of years. Stars and celebrities like Cameron Diaz, Jessica Simpson and Madonna have used hair extensions for movie roles and photo shoots. It is a great way to create an instant dramatic long haired look. And they always look so glamorous!

Well, having hair extensions is not just limited to the rich and famous and while they're not the cheapest, they're certainly worth it considering the length of time they last (4-6 months) and the dramatic look they create. So what are hair extensions? Where do I go for the procedure and will it hurt? First of all, there are a number of different methods and types of hair extensions so I would suggest you visit your local hairdresser/beauty salon and have a chat with your stylist about the different types of hair extensions out there and which would suit you best. If the stylist has experience in applying hair extensions and does it correctly and safely, then no, it shouldn't hurt at all.
