http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php All the clip in hair extensions gossip in one place, HeadKandy the leading clip in hair extension brand speaks out about celebrity hair and beauty secrets en-us Wed, 16 May 2012 09:04:44 -0700 Wed, 16 May 2012 09:04:44 -0700 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss The french braid is the staple style of braiding; once you have mastered this technique, all the complicated looking styles suddenly seem so much easier! The best thing about the french braid is this can be transformed into any style — the normal straight braid, an angled from side to side braid, from the nape of the neck up, or pigtails...the possibilities are endless! What's even better is this look is perfect for keeping your hair away from your face during the hot Summer months. For this tutorial we are just going to do the basic straight down braid. :) Step One Make sure all your hair is brushed through so you have no knots. I find having a tail comb very helpful for this style. If you want to thicken up this look then add some hair extensions before you start styling, but play around with the positioning a little so they are well hidden and not in the way of the style! Step Two Take a small section of hair from the front of your head. Starting smaller will position the braid higher up. Split this section into three. Step Three Start the french braid by folding each section over once. When you get to the first piece again you need to add some more hair to this. Drop the section you need to braid and hold the other two in the other hand, using your fingers to keep the sections separated. Using the tail comb, section a little more hair from your loose hair and grab this along with the section that has already been braided. Smooth the hair out and pull over the correct section. Step Four The next section will now need to have more hair added to this! This will sit on the other side of your head to the section just added to. Complete step three again for this section. Step Five You will now see that the braid is sitting nicely along your head, so complete these steps until you have incorporated all the loose hair. Step Six When there is no hair to add just braid the sections as normal. Secure with an elastic. This can be a little tricky to get perfect first time, but don’t give up as mastering this can instantly transform all your everyday styles! Once you have the skill to do a normal french plait why not try a half-up style? Or adding a small side french braid to your pony or bun? We’d love to see the different styles you add to a french braid too :) &nbsp;Add your pics to your Tumblr and tag us or post them on the HeadKandy Facebook page so we can have a nosey!!

We absolutely LOVE this look as it looks incredible worn short or long and it just oozes sophistication, so it’s great to see so many celebs sporting this trend! Old Hollywood glamour hair styles need lots of volume for the full effect so using your HeadKandy hair extensions with this classic style is perfect for that extra oomph! Start with a deep side-parting, as this is key for creating an Old Hollywood hair style, then fit your hair extensions and style them in with your natural locks for better blending. You can choose to wear your Old Hollywood glamour hair style as a down ‘do or as an updo: both look equally gorgeous! Whichever you choose, you want to add some sultry waves and movement before you style; we recommend using a large barrelled tong or a conical wand for the waves and curls in this style as you want them to be bold and brave like a true Hollywood star!! Finger waves are perfect for creating this look so pop over to our Great Gatsby Finger Wave hair tutorial to try this yourself. :) If you are choosing an updo as your Old Hollywood glamour hair style then pull all your hair back into a bun or chignon and then secure your hair and your hair extensions with a sparkly clip! For a more traditional Old Hollywood look, keep your hair sleek and off your face, but if you want to modernise the style a little the n you could leave some sections of hair loose to frame your face. Finish your updo with a little serum for that Hollywood shine! We think Tigi After Party is just perfect!! If you are leaving your Old Hollywood hair style loose then pin your curls after styling as this will help them stay in place for longer. Once they have cooled, gently let your hair loose. Try not to brush through the curls too much a s you don’t want them to lose their bounce and voluptuous shape! A side fringe looks incredible with this down ‘do, but you have to get the styling right! Style your fringe with your large barrelled tong so that it follows the movement of the rest of your hair. Then you can either opt to wear your fringe loose or slick it back a little so that it stays in place for a true Old Hollywood hair style. We think the Old Hollywood look is the perfect hairstyle to complement any evening gown; it's just SO classy! If you need a super glam hairstyle for a special event then this could be just the style for you to stand out from the crowd . Pop over to HeadKandy to get your full head of hair extensions to ensure this style is super thick and bang-on-trend.

It looks amazing worn as an updo and super cute worn a little smaller, but with a down ‘do... we’re really loving the milkmaid braid and it's versatility! Using your Headkandy hair extensions will add volume to the braids as well as the extra length, if needed, to allow these to be pinned into place. Step One Fit your hair extensions; you will be separating your hair at the centre so it's best to position the wefts on either side of your head, avoiding your quad weft and back wefts as these would be seen when your hair is parted. If you play with the positioning you should be able to incorporate these either side. Step Two Part your hair into pigtails. Braid these into a simple braid and secure the ends with an elastic or a clear snag if you don’t want these to visible! Step Three Take one of your braids and pull this over your head so that the braid falls along your hairline. Pin this in place. Step Four Take the other braid and position this slightly behind the first and pin this in place. If the ends of the braids are visible, you can either tuck these into the loose hair where your braids were started, or if you have super long hair wrap these around a little further and tuck these underneath the braids :) And it really is that simple to create a milkmaid braid! To give the look a messed up bed head style that is very popular with it, pull out a few strands and plump up your braids. Adding in a few flowers or pretty pins makes this super girly, summery and perfect for festivals! If you wanted to do this with a down 'do then you can fit your hair extensions as normal and then you can take a small section of hair from behind your ear, on each side, to braid. Once these are braided and secured follow steps three and four. Add gorgeous waves to your hair for the perfect boho hairstyle. You can also make this style more creative like Diana Argon and try this style with a fishtail braid! This style is super perfect to cheat at too...instead of fitting your extensions and braiding your own hair you could just braid a weft or two! Once these are braided simply pin at the nape of the neck so that your own hair hides the clipped section, although this does only work if you are wearing your hair down! We love the milkmaid braid and think it’s a great alternative updo for Summer parties, festivals and even weddings! &nbsp;What do you think of the milkmaid braid and have you tried it yourself? We’d love to see where and how you wear your milkmaid braids so upload some pics on the HeadKandy Facebook page. :) Other posts you may like: Hair Extensions for Thin Hair - Boho Waves - Summer Hairstyle Tutorial - Great Gatsby Finger Wave Hair Tutorial <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1336755031 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1336755031&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1336755031 Sat, 12 May 2012 05:20:13 -0700 Kim Kardashian’s hair was super voluminous and most definitely bang-on-trend as she appeared in Canada to launch her jewellery line; her hair was styled into a high ponytail with a bouffant at the front … we LOVED it! Kim looked stunning as she appeared in a tight-fitting patterned skirt and a white blouse ensemble; the look was completed with a thick black waist belt which really showed off her curvy figure! We’re a little jealous of how incredible she looked … she oozed sophistication!! We love the super long length of Kim Kardashian’s hair; it looks great styled up into this high ponytail with super volume at the front. Adding a bouffant to your high ponytail is the perfect way to transform this girly look into a statement style for any occasion! We think this style looks best with oodles of thickness and luxurious length, so fit your hair extensions first and they style away! Remember to add lots of root lift! Kim Kardashian’s hair complemented her outfit perfectly for the launch on her new Belle Noel jewellery line. Kudos to Kim for this hot look! The star was full of smiles as she was papped in Toronto … it’s a shame we can’t say the same about her bf Kanye though who didn’t look too thrilled to be attending!!

The legendary New York fashion meets art event saw stars pulling out all the stops to see who could outshine who the most and we’re amazed at some of the outfits we have seen! Wowza! Jessica Alba and Cameron Diaz both opted for metallic dresses, yet dressed them up with different hairstyles. Jessica Alba’s red carpet hairstyle was worn down with some big gatsby waves adding to her overall look to ensure she looked every inch the Hollywood star! We’re loving the shade of her hair at the moment and the lighter tones towards the ends of her hair, very on-trend! Cameron Diaz kept her look effortless, and her hair simple and slicked back with a quiff, yet she still managed to look delightful. Lana Del Ray’s red carpet hairstyle was another one we were particularly fond of! Her hair appeared much longer so we can only presume she had a little helping hand from some hair extensions ; the thickness of her hair is enviable too!! Lana has also changed the shade of her hair and has gone a little darker; we’re loving this sultry look Lana! Her hair was styled classic Lana Del Ray with vintage girly waves from the middle of her hair to the ends ... just lovely. Lana kept to her individual style and wore a black cape around a warrior inspired dress which only she could pull off! What a beauty! &lt;3 However the show stopping award of the night MUST go to Beyonce who pulled out all of the stops and wore a sheer, figure-hugging Givenchy dress, with a purple featured ombre train. Beyonce didn’t hold back showing off her post baby figure and we have to say she looks amazing considering she’s not long had baby Blue. We are loving Beyonce’s red carpet hairstyle , which she kept super simple (it was needed with the busy dress I think), and wore it in a low ponytail with a side parting, so chic! It appears Beyonce has got rid of her reverse ombre hair and returned to a block shade which is very similar to our own shade of St.Tropez! We very much approve Beyonce and we are loving the on-trend red carpet hairstyle too! &lt;3 So who was your favourite of the night? Whose red carpet hairstyle and look are you loving and who do you think should have stayed at home?

Lauren is no stranger to the dip-dye hair trend as she has experimented with a few different shades in the past to keep her hair bang-on-trend, but her new look is perhaps her boldest yet! For the final part of her book signing, Lauren appeared with her hair in a super cute curly high ponytail with the ends dip-dyed a bright pink. We loved the high ponytail, which is also a huge hair trend for 2012, but we loved the bubblegum pink locks even more! The shade worked really well with the girly hairstyle and just looked awesome on Lauren Conrad’s hair! Lauren always seems to get it just right with hair trends, the ombre hair trend always looked incredible on her and Lauren's dip-dye attempts have always worked so well too; her blue dip-dye and her multi-coloured style were awesome and then she showcased peach tips, which were simply gorgeous, and now she’s experimented with bright pink … which also looks incredible. We’re very jealous Lauren!! If you fancy introducing a touch of bright pink into your own life and if your hair is a similar base shade to Lauren Conrad’s hair then you can dip-dye your hair extensions to re-create Lauren’s fab new look! Sadly, the pink dip-dye isn’t permanent, but it’s psyched us up for what Lauren will do with her hair next. We’re super excited to see more dip-dye looks on Lauren Conrad’s hair and we’re sure she won’t disappoint! What do you think of Lauren Conrad’s pink hair? We kinda wish it was here to stay, but we can’t wait to see what she has lined up next!! What shade do you think Lauren should go?

It’s still super easy to wear hair extensions to add sumptuous thickness for hair that’s a little on the thin side. Most people are put off or fearful of wearing hair extensions if their hair is thinning or they have very fine hair in fear that the little hair they have will disappear. Well ladies, you can rest assured as clip in hair extensions are, by far, your best option. No more damaging than tying your hair back into a tight ponytail (which I’m sure we all do whilst cleaning/ getting fit/ those days when you can’t be bothered doing anything with you hair etc etc), clip in hair extensions allow you to dramatically change your look within seconds. By clipping in some hair extensions you can take your hair from frail to fab in a matter of minutes, without harming a hair on your head! Whoop! A few little tips for hair extensions for thin hair , my fine-haired troops, would be to firstly use a good quality conditioning treatment on your own hair to build up its strength and try and restore some healthiness back into your hair. Secondly, it’s all about the fit! How you fit hair extensions for thin hair will ultimately decipher the end look of your hair, so it’s important to fit them correctly from the off. If you have had HeadKandy hair extensions before you will have seen the hair care guide fitting instructions, for those of you who haven’t, hit the fitting illustration tab on the left side and you can see it there. Following our fitting guide will make it even easier to fit your hair extensions to transform your locks. Start by sectioning your hair at the bottom of your head, so just above the nape of your neck. Backcomb all of the hair left down, as this is what you will be clipping the extensions onto. Once backcombed, lace with some hairspray, leave to dry for 5 seconds or so, then clip away. :) Continue this method to fit all of your hair extensions and your thin hair will be transformed into thick mermaid-like locks. Once all of the extensions are in place, &nbsp;it’s time to style the top of your hair to ensure it covers the clips of the extensions. This is simple, all you have to do is simply backcomb this section too!! Start from the back, backcomb, hairspray, leave hairspray to dry, then put the hair where you want it (I always flick my backcombed hair forward or the opposite way its meant to go so its upright and drys quicker!). Once the back is done, move on to front and sides and voila! Your thin hair becomes thicker covering the clips of your extensions so all together it just looks like you have an A List hairdo....What MORE could a girl want?! :) Do you have problems fitting your hair extensions? Or do you find it difficult to wear hair extensions for thin hair?

Tulisa’s performance at GAY was certainly one that got attention for all the right reasons! Tulisa looked gorgeous in a very fitted, short, black and white playsuit with reflective strip detail; we loved her sensible footwear choice and we think that the pair of Adidas high-tops finished off the look perfectly! Tulisa’s hair looked super thick, super glossy and absolutely stunning for her performance. We’re almost positive that she had a little help from some hair extensions to create the uber volume and super bouncy curls. Tulisa’s black hair shade had a few flecks of a lighter brown running throughout that helped Tulisa’s curls look defined. To &nbsp;re-create the super voluminous and super long look of Tulisa’s hair we would recommend using 24-26” hair extensions and if you really wanted to add some ooomph you could add in an extra quad weft! The style is super easy to do using a large barrelled tong ; be sure to backcomb your hair at the roots when fitting your extensions to give plenty of root lift! Although the full line up hasn’t been confirmed for the new series of X Factor, Tulisa has hinted that she will be returning for the show. We’d love Tulisa to return as we loved the intricate updo’s and different styles she tried out during both the audition stages and live shows! Are you looking forward to Tulisa’s return to X Factor as much as we are? Who do you think should be on the panel?

Kate Middleton’s hair is all about thickness and volume; she may be lucky enough to have been blessed with uber thick hair, but it’s possible to achieve a Kate Middleton hairstyle, even if you have finer hair, by using your HeadKandy hair extensions . Clip in your hair extensions to create a super thick base before you start any styling; we would recommend using the full head set for the Kate Middleton look (even if you generally don’t use the full set), and if you’re feeling adventurous, you could add an additional Quad Weft too! We usually see Kate Middleton’s hair worn down with movement and body through the mid-lengths and ends of the hair. The Duchess is renowned for this hairstyle and it’s easy to see why: the style is effortlessly glamorous and works beautifully with fine formal attire and evening gowns. We recommend using a large barrelled tong or jumbo rollers to achieve this look; add root lift to the crown of your head, but focus the styling on the mid-lengths and ends of the hair to achieve the fabulous movement that Kate Middleton’s hair always has. This HAS to be our fave Kate Middleton hairstyle; it works so well for the Duchess, and we’re so used to seeing her hair styled this way, but we love it when she does something a little different with her hair too! Kate Middleton’s hair is sometimes styled half-up and half-down; this was the hairstyle choice for her wedding day too. The body and movement is generally kept to the ends of the hair when styled this way and sections of Kate’s hair are pulled to the back of her head to finish the style. Again, you want to use your large barrelled tong to create those voluminous curls; don’t brush them through too much or you’ll lose bounce! This Kate Middleton hairstyle looks super glamorous when worn with hats and hair accessories! Kate can sometimes be spotted with her hair all up, but this is fairly rare … we don’t quite understand why as an updo looks gorgeous on Kate; it really shows off her features and works well for glamorous appearances. We’ve seen Kate Middleton’s hair styled into a super cute ponytail on occasion too; this style still keeps the natural waves of her hair through the ends of the ponytail and a small section of hair is wrapped around the ponytail to disguise the elastic. A ponytail looks oh-so-girly on Kate … we love!! So, Kate, we’ve adored following you and your glamorous hairstyles over the last year, but we want to see a few more updo’s in the coming months please! And ladies, if you want to create your own Kate Middleton hairstyle, don’t forget to stop by HeadKandy first to pick up a super thick full head set of clip in hair extensions … then get styling!!

The festival, which is debuting lots of next year's top box office hits, has also been exploring the world of social media websites and their involvement in the way cinema is viewed, which has proved to be very popular with the stars themselves, as well as filmmakers and movie goers all over the world. The red carpets at the screenings have been crammed with celebs, and their hairstyle choices have made us eager to see who will be there the following day! Olivia Wilde has been seen at many of the screenings at the festival, choosing very different outfit styles and red carpet hairstyles for each, but looking just as glamorous in all of them! Seen at the opening night of the festival, Olivia Wilde’s newly dyed blonde hair was stunningly pinned back in a simple low bun with sections at the front left loose to frame the face. The style was simple and elegant and worked perfectly with her Yigal Azrouël animal print maxi dress. A few days later Olivia Wilde was seen wearing a beautifully detailed lemon and lace Prada dress. Again, her red carpet hairstyle was left simple, pinned back once again, but this time Olivia added root lift to the style. This gives the actress a few extra inches, but this accentuates her delicate features and perfect make-up. Emma Watson took a break from shooting her new film, ‘The Bling Ring’, to make an appearance at the festival. Ditching the hair extensions that she wears for her new role, Emma Watson’s growing out hair was simply pulled off her face and twisted into a small bun. This simple style worked perfectly with her head to toe printed Miu-Miu outfit. Emily Blunt looked stunning at the screening for ‘The Five Year Engagement’ in which she plays the leading role. Emily Blunt’s red carpet hairstyle, along with her gorgeous black and green prom-style, Jason Wu dress, looked glamorous, but made her appear older than her years. Her naturally glossy, dark locks were pinned back and secured at the nape of the neck. This very simple style looked very pretty and lady-like, but we think that the style made her look a little too old! We think that Emily should have worn her hair down with this style of dress to keep the look youthful. :) There appears to be a definite red carpet hairstyle trend at all the events over the course of the Tribeca Film Festival. Simple updo’s certainly seem to be the way all the celebs are going for their red carpet looks. Do you think this is a pleasant change to seeing celebs with their hair just left loose? Let us know your thoughts on your favourite red carpet hairstyles here or on our Facebook or Twitter :) Other posts you may like: Prom Hairstyles - The Granny Chic Hair Trend - 2012 Spring Hairstyles <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1335371159 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1335371159&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1335371159 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 09:25:59 -0700 Chloe Green’s hair always looks super shiny and healthy … we’re a little jel! Since seeing her on Made In Chelsea last season we’ve kind of been stalking her, and since she’s the daughter of Topshop boss Sir Philip Green, we thought she would be one to watch. And what do you know, a couple of months later, she’s about to launch her own shoe collection named after herself; the CJG label is to be sold as a concession in Topshop and also on her very own website! Chloe is famed for her rapunzel-like hair, which falls just below the middle of her back, she keeps it in tip-top condition and it always looks so healthy!! We want! If you’re looking to re-create Chloe Green’s hair, and your hair is a bit on the short side, then the solution is simple ... add some clip in hair extensions so you can add and take away length whenever you desire! Woo! Chloe tends to wear her hair straight most of the time, but does opt to add some curls and texture through her hair from time to time! We LOVE Chloe Green’s hair with some boho waves and curls in it, and with her hair being so long it works to thicken up, and add more texture which complements her overall look. Why not try a small barrelled tong or a conical wand on your own luscious locks to achieve Chloe Green’s hair style? :) With that being said, we’re loving Chloes look in her campaign shot for her new shoe launch, which is making its debut on May 17th! Chloe Green’s hair looks lovely, as always, with a few waves throughout the ends which is topped off by her dark and sultry makeup. The shoes are also something to have a peek at; with eight designs coming out we’re hoping there is a little something for all. We already have our eyes on a few pairs and we’re such a fan of the green sole on every pair ... &nbsp;inspiration from Christian Louboutin's red soles shoes was obviously taken! However Chloe is keeping the price more highstreet than designer with the starting price of the shoes at around &pound;80, which isn’t so bad! The shoes are not for the faint-hearted though, they appear to be extremely high (yay!) so if you’re a little fearful of walking in skyscrapers, maybe a little practise wouldn’t go amiss before stepping into these green soles! Our favourite shoes from the collection have got to be the Mischa wedge Chloe is sporting in her campaign ad, The Louisa, some sparkly numbers and some white shiny chained shoes! Ooh-la-la! We hope you are all just as excited as we are about this fab new shoe collection!! What do you ladies think about Chloe Green’s hair in the promotional shot? Let us know your thoughts in the comment box below or head over to Facebook and Twitter to voice your opinions there!! :) <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1335187453 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1335187453&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1335187453 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 06:25:43 -0700 We’re already looking forward to Summer here at HeadKandy, so we thought we’d share our boho waves tutorial with you … it’s the perfect on-trend hairstyle for the Summer months! Whilst many Summer hairstyles involve pinning your hair up to keep you cool, we wanted to choose a look that can carry you from day to night, and even through to the following day too! Katy Perry's hair has been seen with boho waves to complement her gorgeous new purple hair extensions , and this style can be regularly seen as a festival hairstyle too! We think it’s such a Summer staple look with its super easy styling and staying power!&nbsp; Boho waves look fantastic with the hair all worn down or with the front section of hair pinned away from your face, but the advantage of this style is the shape holds really well for scraping into a messy bun for the next day! If you want to glam this look up even more, you can wear your HeadKandy hair extensions ; you’ll have super thick boho waves ready to hit the red carpet! To create your summery boho waves, we think that a conical wand works best, but you can also use a large or medium barrelled tong if you prefer. Step One Start by fitting your extensions if you are going to be using these for added length or volume. Once your hair extensions have been fitted, section your hair around the top of your head. Use a grip to hold the top section out of your way . Step Two Start styling, with your tongs or wand, on the small underneath section you have left loose. The most important thing with this boho wave style is to not make your curls too uniform in size or curl direction. Step Three Pull down the next section of hair and repeat step two. Try to make your hair into about five sections in total as this will make your curls more defined. If your hair is finer then reduce this, and if you're lucky enough to have naturally thick hair, you may have to add another section. Step Four All your hair should now be curled and hanging down loose. The non-uniform way of adding the curls should give this a care-free look! Add a little serum to your fingers (we find that Tigi After Party is awesome for this!) and run this through the lengths of the hair; you don’t want to pull the curls out too much, just make them a little more defined with the serum. Step Five Take a small section from your temple, on each side, and direct these towards the back of your head. Twist these sections of hair; before they start wrapping around themselves pull these to the back of your head and pin these together. Adding flowers or a pretty hair band will give your style a super hippy feel and this looks so summery! You can also braid the sections, instead of twisting, to bring the look bang on-trend for this season! &nbsp; Pop over to HeadKandy to grab your conical wand to make this Summer boho wave hairstyle oh-so-easy!!

If your hair is a bit on the short side, add some HeadKandy hair extensions to give you that extra oomph and superstar vibe; who doesn’t want to feel like a superstar on their prom eh?! Half-up Half-down. One of the hottest prom hair styles, inspired by New York Fashion Week, has got to be the half-up half-down style, worn with a little bouffant to add a touch of glamour &#8210;– you simply cannot go wrong with this prom hairstyle, which can be worn with medium to long hair. For statement volume and a show-stopping finish, some hair extensions would be a great option to thicken up the hair before it is split into two sections. It is also wise to style your hair before you section it too as once your hair is pinned up, and you begin styling, you’re bound to pull hair out of place which will leave it looking a little untidy! Opt for styling the bouffant first; backcomb from the top of your roots at the back of your head going down as far as where you ‘up’ section is going to finish, then hold in place with some bobby pins. For a gorgeously girly prom hairstyle, add some loose, bouncy curls, not forgetting to pull hair down either side to frame your face. If you’re not really a curly haired kind of girl then straight hair will look equally gorgeous, it may be a little quicker for you to style too ;). Once your extensions are fitted and styled you can begin to section off your hair; starting from the top of your ears taking the parting around the middle of your head, and meeting at the back. Why not finish your half-up half-down prom hairstyle with some beautiful prom-style clips? We LOVE Carrie Underwood’s take on this style; she looks super angelic with hair that just screams look at me!! High Ponytails Another prom hairstyle, which has taken inspiration from this year’s Fashion Weeks, is the high ponytail ; it’s a hot trend for the coming Summer months, so why not introduce the look at your prom? You can dress up, or dress down high ponytails, it all depends on how you style and create them! We LOVED Nicole Richie's retro high ponytail, which she was seen wearing at the Golden Globes, it reminded us of the hairstyles which were created backstage at the Badgely Mischka Fall 2010 show. We’re enjoying the fact she has brought the look back this year and it looks so elegant and eye-catching, it HAS to be someone's prom ‘do!! This prom hair style, again, will work better on medium to longer hair; hair extensions would be ideal as you will have much more hair to work with and when the hair falls at the back it will look incredible with longer hair!! Creating this look is so simple; firstly pull up and section off hair around the crown, tease and backcomb to create volume then set aside whilst you attend to the rest of your hair. You then need to brush out and smooth the back and sides of your hair, securing the back section into a ponytail just below the crown of your head. You then need to pull each side section back and wrap it around your ponytail, securing in place with some bobby pins. Then all you need to do is return to the top section (the bit you did first) and then lightly brush and smooth back over your ponytail and voila, your superstar prom hairstyle is born! If you’re not so confident in trying this style then we have another you could try!! We are also loving Reese Witherspoon's high ponytail which looks so so elegant and is even easier to create!! Firstly, you need to section your hair into two, so a bottom section and a top section. Simply tease and back comb the top section of your hair to create a little bouffant/quiff, secure in place with some bobby pins and a clear elastic band. Then take the bottom section of your hair and secure back into a ponytail with a clear elastic band, making sure that it is placed directly under the top ponytail. If the top section is a little too tight for you that way then there is an alternative look to allow your hair to appear looser; pull all of your hair back into one ponytail and secure with a hair band, you will then need to take some bobby pins and flip your ponytail over the rest of your hair (basically tip your head upside down), pop the bobby pins along the very top of the underneath of your ponytail, so just above your hair band, so the hair falls back over the bobby pins to create a waterfall kind of effect! And there you have it! HOW easy does that sound?! For a more dramatic and statement look be sure to fit some hair extensions before you start to style and pull the hair back, the hair extensions will help you look like you have just stepped off the red carpet! Braids Braids are another hot prom hairstyle taken straight from the Fashion Weeks; they are such a hot trend right now! Braids will tend to work better on medium to longer hair as the more hair you have to braid, the more significant the braid will look; if you’re a little short on length then be sure to fit some hair extensions before you begin to braid to give you a show-stopping look! We LOVE braids here at HeadKandy and we have a sneaky feeling they will be a popular look for proms of 2012! Our favourite prom style braids have got to be the fishtail braid , the four strand braid, and the french braid round to a side ponytail. These tend to be a little tricky if you’re new to braiding, but after some practice, you can create these in no time at all :) Or you can just ask a friend or family member if they’re a dab hand at braiding! So ladies, to create the perfect hair style, first pop over to HeadKandy to get your full head of hair extensions for a super glamorous and oh-so-thick look!

It’s pretty fair to say that Katy Perry is a complete style chameleon when it comes to her hair! Katy Perry’s hair has been changed more times than we can count over the past year, and now it seems that she’s bored with blue and has embraced purple locks for the Spring instead. The deep purple shade of her new hairstyle looks pretty striking and we’re already loving the change! We’re also loving the new longer locks, which were styled into natural-looking curls for the Coachella festival. We were big fans of Katy Perry’s hair when it was bobbed, but it’s so great to see her sporting some new hair extensions ! What do you guys think of Katy Perry’s purple hair? Do you prefer her with blue or purple locks?

These chic wedding hairstyles are perfect whether you have short or long hair, and look gorgeous worn with HeadKandy hair extensions . Traditionally, wedding hair always tends to be worn up and styled into beautiful updo’s with lots of twists and curls. These styles look super feminine and are great for those all important wedding pics, but we’re a little bored of the same old wedding hair styles so, we have compiled some of our fab new faves to give all you some fresh ideas. We are loving Grecian inspired wedding hairstyle this season; we think they look just glorious! Long hair works beautifully with these styles and allows you to work and style your Grecian wedding hair style in different ways too, but fear not if your hair isn’t quite making the grade in the length department, HeadKandy hair extensions will be here to help and we also stock 24-26” so, if you really want a Goddess feel, opt for this length to create show-stopping wedding hair! We love this look when the hair is neatly taken in from the sides, braided at the back of the head to the nape of the neck, and then flowing locks are left to drape down your back or when sections are pinned up and the rest if left as cascading curls. Updo’s as well as down do’s look great with a Grecian feel too! Add some twists and plaits before styling your updo or add some bold curls and plaits to your down do for a Goddess-esque finish! A Grecian wedding hairstyle will make any bride feel like the belle of the ball and if you’re a bit of a trend-setter then this may be the option for you! For our shorter haired friends, we really love this curled 'do and how it’s kept quite flat on one side and then quiffs up into volume on the other side! SO sexy! This hairstyle has more of a 50’s vintage vibe so if you’re a vintage hair style lover and want to add some vintage into your wedding then this HAS to be the style for you! If not and you’re just loving the subtle yet sexy curls then this could be the one for you too! We love love love! Another updo we’re loving for wedding season is this Great Gatsby inspired wave style. Again, it screams vintage, but we love the lure of the style and it’s such a hot look at the moment - it would be a shame not to be intertwined with wedding hairstyles. This will work great for medium-length and longer hair - for added thickness and texture, clip in a quad weft or if you’re looking to add length overall, then opt for a full head of hair extensions to achieve this look! Have a look at our other blog to achieve Gatsby waves if you’re a little unsure :) So lovely ladies, let us know all about your favourite wedding hair styles for this season by heading over to our Facebook page. If you have your own big day coming up, we would love to see photos of your wedding hair :) Other posts you may like: 2012 Spring Hairstyles - Ombre Hair Trend - The Royal Wedding - Prince William and Kate Middleton <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1334148711 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1334148711&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1334148711 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 05:56:30 -0700 Rihanna’s hair has changed once again!! The star has said goodbye to the blonde wavy shoulder length hair and opted for some hair extensions (that’s our guess at least), shaven one side of her hair and returned to her dark natural shade of black! Ohhh la la! Although we do love Ri Ri’s new look, we were quite partial to her blonde locks … but it’s on to the next new look and hello to back-to-black for Rihanna’s hair; Her new look reminds us of when she first appeared on the music scene … only with a little more edge this time!! Ri Ri has shaved a small section of her hair just above her ear which isn’t too full on yet it still manages to make a bold statement! Rihanna’s new hair appears much longer and thicker compared to her previous blonde shoulder length hair so we’re thinking that she has probably had a little help from hair extensions ?! The hair extensions aren't made too obvious as they are kept just below her shoulders which make them appear more natural. The new dark shade of Rihanna’s hair makes her hair appear much more healthy and glossy; we have to admit ... we LOVE Rihanna’s new hair! Rihanna keeps it simple by pushing all of her hair towards one side, showing off her newly shaven side and making the most out of her new bouncy hair extensions! We think Rihanna’s new hair is a hit....what do you guys think?

Last year, Cheryl Cole’s hair was transformed into a long, blonde bob and while we loved this look on the star and thought it looked oh-so-sophisticated, we much prefer her as a brunette beauty and we think she looks simply stunning now that she has long, full locks again! HeadKandy hair extensions in Melted Chocolate would be a good match for Cheryl Cole’s hair shade for her new music video, but in some shots her hair appears to have subtle highlights so Iced Coffee would be just perfect if you wanted some subtle highlights for your own chocolate brown hair. Cheryl Cole’s hair is bang on-trend with styling for her new music video too; her hair is styled into voluminous, loose waves in some shots and into a super thick ponytail in others... we love both of these looks on Cheryl. Cheryl Cole’s hair looks super glam, gorgeously healthy and sensuously dense in these pics … the key to her fabulous look is lots of root lift … and perhaps an extra Quad Weft at the crown of your head for more of a boost! So we’re completely sold on Cheryl Cole’s new hair, but what do you guys think?

Hmm ... it seems we’re kind of a fan at HeadKandy HQ !! Kelly Osbourne was first spotted rocking the Granny Chic hair trend back in January at the 2012 Art of Elysium Heaven Gala. Keeping her hair in a bob, she matched her new grey hair/purple rinse with pastel pink lips which proved to be the perfect contrast. We love the two colours together and adore how it’s such a gutsy shade to wear; obviously outspoken Kelly would be one of the first seen sporting the Granny Chic hair trend!! We take our hats off to you Kelly O!! Another celeb we have spotted is Marina Diamandis who takes the shade a little darker than Miss O’s! Marina’s Granny Chic hair shade is the greyest we have seen … taking it a little lighter towards the ends. Marina also matched her hair with hot pink lips and a much brighter pink at that! With Marina’s individual style it’s pretty hard to miss her anyway, but with her new Granny Chic hair to go with her sense of style, she’s becoming unmissable!! She looks every inch the style icon with her fluffy pink jumper, quirky vintage sunglasses, glittered stiletto boots and of course her grey granny hair, it proves to simply top off her look and keep her image hot off the mark. &nbsp; Ellie Goulding is also another celeb who appears to be a fan of the new Granny Chic hair trend. Keeping it subtle, Ellie opts for a purple rinse effect and with her longer hair we think she looks super stunning!! It’s quite a stark change from her usual golden locks, but Ellie transitioned step by step by just having a purple dip dye kind of effect to begin with through the ends of her hair. Maybe she was trialing and testing before she went for the full purple rinse? Either way we’re glad she took the plunge and decided to rock this look too! Big clap for Ellie!! We think the Granny Chic hair trend is soon to catch on and is definitely one to keep an eye on....are you a brave kind of girl ready to take the plunge and opt for a purple rinse? Or would you rather keep your lovely shades of blondes, browns and coppers?

Spring hairstyles tend to be super girly and cute and accessorized perfectly for the season ... use your HeadKandy clip in hair extensions with your 2012 Spring hairstyle for gorgeous length and super volume!! The biggest trend of this spring is braids/plaits! And the more complicated the better! Whether you choose a french, waterfall or just a normal braid/plait you’ll be bang on-trend, but we will be seeing more and more intricate versions of these styles through the spring and summer months! Wearing your hair up is the perfect way of incorporating a braid really easily! Before you tie your hair, take a side section and do a small french braid in the direction of your style. If you are pulling your hair into a high bun angle your braid, but if you're opting for a low slung ponytail then angle it downwards. If you are wearing your clip ins to add gorgeous thickness, then be sure to fit these before you start styling! Another way is to add a few natural waves to your hair and your hair extensions and then braid your hair to frame your face like a headband or braid this around the sides to create a half updo! The possibilities really are endless with braids!! Accessorise these with flowers, bows and beaded grips to make them perfectly fitting for springtime. Natural waves are another huge spring hairstyle trend! A great way of getting this look is to curl your hair before bed - sleeping on your fresh curls will flatten them and mess us the perfect shape ... just leaving your hair a natural wave. Adding in some curl cream prior to styling will help give the ‘messy’ look to the style. Again this style is perfect for adding in some spring inspired accessories! What 2012 Spring hair style will you be wearing?

Her blue hair has been making the headlines since Paris Fashion Week for all the right reasons. Being bang on-trend with her choice of styles (with her tightly pulled back bun in particular) proves that Katy Perry’s hair can make a style statement all by itself. Although the blue shade of Katy Perry's hair looks to be staying with us, her latest video has shown us a different version of the star. Her new video for ‘Part of Me’ was unveiled today showing Katy regressing to her former self. The star has used a long black wig in the video which resembles the style of her hair when she first shot to fame. In the video Katy chops all her hair off and joins the army after confronting her cheating boyfriend!! It was rumoured that the change of Katy Perry’s hair shade was to represent her split from Russell Brand and the video and lyrics to her new song only fuel these rumours. We usually love everything Katy does with her hair but the cropped pixie cut just doesn’t suit, please don’t do this for real :) What do you think about Katy Perry's super short hair? ... tell us on Facebook or Twitter :) Other posts you may like: Great Gatsby Finger Wave Hair Tutorial - Katy Perry's Hair at Paris Fashion Week - Shade Trends of 2011 <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1332495718 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1332495718&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1332495718 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 02:33:03 -0700 Many girls select weave hair extensions to add length and thickness to their hair and there are certainly numerous ways of wearing hair extensions now ... from having them glued in or weaved to micro loops or clip ins...there isn't a shortage of ways to lengthen your locks, but what we want to know is....whats the best option for your beloved hair?! A lot of people have been questioning weave hair extensions and how good or bad they are for your hair, and since I’ve had a fair few I thought it was only right I let you all know the 411! A weave hair extension is pretty simple to create - a plait is created using your own hair and a strand of extension hair, it then goes across the head going from one edge to the other and meeting in the middle of the head. Starting at the bottom and finishing usually at the top of your ears so you’re left with around three to four rows in your hair. Depending how many can fit on your head and if the stylist thinks it will work. On each row of a plait, two or three maybe four wefts of hair are sewn into the plait using thick cotton to ensure it sta ys secure... and that is pretty much it! Once the hair is sewn in it’s secure and free for you to style and w ear as you would any other extensions. All is well for a week or two, but then your natural hair growth will start to show, and the weave hair extension begins to drop. As your hair grows, the plait across your head becomes much looser, causing the plait to hang down and you will find it is no longer attached to your head. So you have to go back to have it re-tied to keep up with your own hair growth. Due to this it becomes quite expensive...up keep is usually half of what you originally paid, but nine times out of ten you will want new hair as it becomes quite matted after being constantly in your hair... so that’s another fee to think about. When you go for weave hair extensions they will generally tell you to treat it like your normal hair, advising that you can wash it as if it were your own...this tends not to be the case. If you were to wash your weave twice, three times a week or every other day the weave would drop at quite a quick rate ... as I have witnessed first hand!! So then you’re left washing just the top of your hair to save the plaits dropping at an extortionate rate. This is quite irritating, as you can imagine, and due to the hair constantly being attached to your head the underneath of the hair becomes tangled, matted, and dare I say it...generally feels greasy ...Ew! But as you’re always rocking around with the hair attached to your head doing daily and normal things like going to the gym...or going on a night out...cleaning the house...working up a bit of a sweat... the hair underneath is what suffers most and then you are forced to wash the whole of your hair to achieve clean and softer hair again. It doesn't end there either....taking weave hair extensions out is HELL if you don’t have the time to go to the salon. As you’re left with dangling hair that is visible for all to see it becomes embarrassing! So you take matters into your own hands and attempt to take it out yourself. Well I put the matter in to my friend’s hands and after hacking away at the thread trying not to snip any hair off in the process, my dear friend managed to free me from the weave. Yaaay!! When it first came out I’m not going to lie...I felt bald. As we lose hair everyday we never really notice, but when you have weave hair extensions, the hair isn’t free to just fall out willy nilly so it becomes stuck in the plait that the weave is secured to so when you take it out literally chunks of hair come with it too... going from having long, thick hair extensions to your own (thinner-than-it-would-have-been) natural hair, you don’t feel too good. Weave hair extensions are great for not having to make time clipping in hair extensions every morning and they are constantly in your hair so it’s pretty much like having your own long hair which is good... but I think the negatives out weigh the two good points by far! After having weave hair extensions, I then transferred over to clip in hair extensions as they are the least damaging for your hair...no more damaging than tying your hair back into a tight ponytail...which is just what i needed as I wanted to carry on wearing hair extensions, but needed a safer and kinder solution … so clip-ins it was! I can take them out after a night out or if I'm going to the gym...or if I’m just lounging around the house and they’re not needed. They are not constantly attached to my head so the life span of hair extensions when used as clip ins increases as you are able to take care of them a lot more. Clip in hair extensions also allow me to achieve much more volume and thickness compared to my weave hair extensions, they are so much easier to style and you can switch it up a bit by clipping them in different ways. I couldn’t think of anything more that I would want! Clip-ins are so easy to use and style - thickness, length and texture can easily be achieved and most importantly.... it is the kindest option for your hair!!! Do it girls, get a full head of clip-ins for lovely thick and healthy hair!! Tell us your weave hair extension experience on Facebook or Twitter ... we'd love to hear from you.

First off, we must admit, we’ve got a little bit of a girl crush on Lana! Not only does her hair always look super sleek and stylish....her make-up and fashion style is super trendy too and we can’t take our eyes off her in anticipation of what she’s going to come up with next! T he waves in Lana Del Rey’s hair are created a little thicker which makes her hair look lovely and glossy and even thicker than it probably is (we’re only a little envious, honest!.) We’re not sure if she uses hair extensions , but we would opt for some clip-ins to re-create this look as thickness is key! When she first came onto the scene with ‘Video Games’ Lana was a blonde bombshell, now she has gone for a more vintagey/retro feel and opted to add gorgeous warmth with copper tones to her hair which we definitely approve of! The shade compliments her complexion beautifully and is right on-trend with auburn/copper toned hair taking the celeb world by storm!! Lana Del Rey’s hair always looks in wonderful condition considering she’s always adding heat to create those girly vintage waves! Looking back Lana reminds us of a modern day Nancy Sinatra with waves in her hair and floral accessories with a hint of early Joanna Lumley, which can never be a bad combination! She has the best of both worlds! Lana loves to add floral accessories to her hair and we love the look too...She almost wears them as a little hat which brings her quirky style to her hair ... we adore this!! We’re thinking of placing bets on whether this is going to be a hot trend for the summer or not?! We think Lana Del Rey’s hair and her unique style is worth watching out for in 2012...She has already been featured in top end magazines and advertisements such as Vogue, Q, Complex and Prada, and we’re almost sure she’s going to continue taking the world by storm and we can’t wait to see how her style and hair changes throughout her journey.

Colored hair even graced the catwalk at the 2012 Fashion Weeks so using colored hair extensions will keep your locks looking fashion forward and fresh!! You can go as wild and vibrant or as soft and subtle as you like with your colored hair extensions and you can choose from an all over shade or just dip-dyed ends to change your current look. Katy Perry's hair is renowned for being a variety of different shades! She has opted for a full head of bright blue, a gorgeous milkshake pink and she has also dabbled with vibrant streaks and subtle pastel hues. Katy Perry's hair always looks fabulous whatever the shade, but we love her more subtle, pastel looks in particular and you can re-create her style using your own colored hair extensions. Jessie J is also no stranger to colored hair as she swapped her statement black locks for bright purple and has since been seen sporting dip-dyed ends in red and purple. You can use your colored hair extensions to easily create the dip-dye look without having to dye the ends of your own hair. If you are going for a super vibrant look like Jessie J's hair then using a light blonde shade of HeadKandy hair extensions can be perfect as a base to dye to achieve the vibrancy. Other celebs who have indulged their locks in the colored hair trend include Kelly Osbourne (whose hair always look just fabulous), Hayley Williams (her hair is perfect for an alternative style that oozes brightness!) and even Kate Bosworth and Lauren Conrad have experimented with pastel dip-dyed ends! We weren't big fans of Kate's blue dip-dyed hues, but Lauren Conrad's hair look absolutely gorgeous with the subtle peach tints! We loved it!! If you are feeling super adventurous with your colored hair extensions then you can easily turn to Nicki Minaj for inspiration who has great fun with her hair ... her style is never dull!! You can pop along to HeadKandy to pick up your light blonde clip ins to create your own colored hair extensions style!!

This era is famous for its sleek bobs and cropped cuts but our tutorial shows how to get the look even with longer cuts. If you wouldn’t dare leave the house without your Headkandy hair extensions then don’t worry you can still create the Great Gatsby finger wave hair style with your extra length using a medium barrelled tong :) Step 1 First start by fitting your Headkandy hair extensions as you would normally. Section your hair and pin the top sections of hair up leaving you with an underneath section about 2” wide. Apply a little heat protection product before styling. Section your hair into 3, 1 each side and 1 at the back. Step 2 Holding the tong horizontally with the grip facing away from you, place the tong underneath the first section of hair using the tong grip, which should be on top of your hair to hold in place. After a few seconds remove the tong from your hair and turn the tong around, the grip should now be facing you! Place the tong underneath the bump you have created in your hair but place the tong on top of your hair with the grip underneath. When you remove the tong you should have a U shape. Continue this alternate method for the whole strand of hair and for the other 2 sections. It’s usually best to follow the same pattern for each section so that all your waves flow the same way to create the Great Gatsby Finger Wave. Step 3 Pull down the next layer of hair and continue step 3 until complete. It’s usually best to separate your hair into about 3 or 4 layers, with between 3 and 4 sections on each, depending on how thick your hair is. Step 4 When you have completed the tonging process use a little serum on your finger tips to smooth and even out the hair. This Great Gatsby Finger Wave hair style is perfect with hair accessories!! Whether you choose a wrap around hairband, a feather or a jewelled clip you will fit the style perfectly! Another 20’s tip is to create a curl near your temple. To do this use a shorter section of your own hair and wet this down with a spray gel or similar product. Then simply wrap this around your finger and pin in place! We're huge fans of the Great Gatsby Finger Wave hair style, but what is your favourite vintage hair style ? Let us know on Facebook or Twitter :) Other posts you may like: The Gibson Tuck Hair Tutorial - The Hair Bun Trend - Marilyn Monroe's Hair Vintage Hair Tutorial <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1331806470 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1331806470&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1331806470 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 03:28:21 -0700 Hair buns are already emerging as a sizzling hot 2012 hair trend making numerous appearances on the catwalks during the Fashion Weeks and amongst celebs on the red carpet at the Oscars! We love the bun especially when hair extensions are used to make it super thick and full and we can see them becoming huuuuge in the celeb and fashion world this year so we thought we could give our lovely followers a heads up of what’s to come! At the Fashion Weeks we saw a mixture of neatly created tight hair buns as well as messy ‘bed-head’ buns. Rick Owens created an amazing neatly twisted hair bun which sits low at the back of the head. The twisted bun takes a different approach from the usual ballerina bun we are so fond of! Once in a ponytail the hair is separated into numerous different sections, twisted tightly and looped over or under the next strand of hair next to it and simply kept in place with some hair pins! SO easy to re-create yet such a dramatic effect! Thanks for the idea Rick! Dolce and Gabana also made use of hair buns in their catwalk show! Their buns portray a softer cutesy appeal as it is not as neat and tight as Ricks style... but the D&amp;G bun looks fabulous none the less being twisted and taken right to the bottom of the neck. It’s so simple to re-create too; tie the hair into a ponytail, separate into two sections... the main piece should be from the middle of the ponytail and a little bigger than the second piece of hair which you should take from the side of the ponytail. Twist the main section first, creating a bun shape and securing with hair pins, then it’s time to twist the second piece which then goes around the main bun - again secure with hair pins and you have your very own D &amp; G inspired hair bun! Beautiful! Moving on to the Oscars... where we saw an array of different hair buns worn by many a celeb - The two that stood out to us the most on the red carpet were the gorgeous Jennifer Lopez’s glam bun and Berenice Bejo who took a different approach and added a plait to the bun phenomenon! We LOVE! J.Lo went for a high updo hair bun...following the trends from the catwalks and adding subtle twists to the hair before securing to create a thick and full bun. Showing us all that hair buns don’t have to be associated with laziness or just worn when we hit the gym....they can be created to suit almost any occasion. And if they’re good enough for J.Lo then they’re good enough for us! Berenice Bejo took two inspirations from the catwalk and combined both into one spectacular looking style! With both plaits and hair buns being bang on-trend at the moment we can do nothing but give props to the brilliant Berenice! The hair plait is created from the front of the hair reaching from the opposite side (which will be neatly pulled back into the bun) on one single side and taken round to the back middle area of the head where it transforms and is kept into a hair bun... Wowsa! Nothing but admiration for this hair style! It doesn’t end there either...you can jazz up your own hair bun with numerous different hair accessories; from feathers to hair scarfs to flowers, almost anything can be included in your bun....your hair is what you make it! Which hair bun do you guys think is the best?! It’s a toughie, we can’t make our minds up so let us know what you all think on Twitter or on the HeadKandy Facebook page .

The ombre trend has been a huge hit over the last year or so with many famous faces lightening the ends of their hair to achieve this simple yet very effect style. With its growing popularity, the style has evolved within itself with many celebs trying out vibrant shades or a variety of candy colours to accessorise with their latest looks and outfits! The latest reinvention of the trend that has everyone talking is reverse ombre. The reverse ombre trend has only been seen on a few stars at the moment, but made a huge impact on the runways at NY fashion week by playing a large part in the styling of the Jen Kao show. She used very dark dye on the very tips of the hair to create the reverse ombre with naturally dark blonde hair, but many celebs wear this style to make their hair look a bit more natural. Choosing a shade a couple darker then the tops of the hair will give the illusion of sun kissed locks and if you choose a highlighted shade you can subtly blend in both the lighter and darker sections creating a shadowed look. We are a little unsure about this look, just as we were with the original ombre trend and we think it looks much better when reverse ombre is worn subtle rather than too contrasting, but we are sure that the trend will become super popular over the coming months!! If you want to experiement with the reverse ombre look without dying your own hair then take a look at HeadKandy Hair Extensions that are just a shade or two darker than your own base shade!

During Paris Fashion Week, Katy Perry’s blue hair was styled gorgeously and always remained bang-on trend! For her first appearance in Paris, Katy stepped out in a sheer (and somewhat revealing!) mint green ensemble straight from Vera Wang's SS12 collection and later she was spotted in a plunging V-neck gold geometric mini-dress which certainly showed off her curves! Katy Perry’s hair was styled into vintage inspired curls with a deep side-parting to compliment both outfits! Her blue locks looked amazing … and we even over-looked the root regrowth!! Our favourite of Katy Perry’s hair style choices from Paris Fashion Week were the high bun and the beehive! Katy wore her beehive with plenty of eyeliner and a vibrant blue peekaboo V&amp;R dress … she could have easily stepped straight out of the 60’s!! Her outfit worn with the high bun was toned down by Katy’s standards; she wore a short green dress, a biker jacket and thigh-high black leather boots … combined with her super sleek high bun, the outfit created a moody and sophisticated look and the only vibrancy in sight came from Katy Perry’s blue hair. We loved how fashion forward Katy looked at YSL! If you fancy trying out Katy Perry’s blue hair and have light blonde locks yourself then a shade like LA Blonde can be used as a base to dye a vibrant blue! Take a look at HeadKandy Hair Extensions for our full range of light blonde shades!!

With the BAFTA's and Grammy's last weekend and the Brits this week, there have been many different styles to take inspiration from. We have all had our favourites here at Headkandy and its been very interesting to see the red carpet hairstyle trends forming at each event! The BAFTA's - The BAFTA's are often a showcase to the many typically British red carpet styles. The long sequined gowns are gone, instead classic shapes and cut dresses make an appearance. We love Bonnie Wright’s polka dot tea dress, although, it’s not the type of dress you would expect to see on the red&nbsp;carpet! Colour blocking her blue dress with pink and orange shoes makes the look bang on trend. Her auburn locks had been darkened a little with a hint of the ombre style to the tips. Fearne Cotton also looked stunning at the event. Known for wearing outfits that can be seen as a little kooky and unusual Fearne choose a long sleeve, coral maxi dress with large bow sash detail. Her hair was simply stunning, the 1920's inspired bob almost out-shined her dress. Her red carpet hairstyle was very vintage inspired and the reference back to the 1920's had us thinking about glorious times of past. Her long bob was loosely finger waved with some backcombing to the underneath section of the hair - this helps the hair sit perfectly with the shape of the haircut. The Grammy's - There was a clear trend on the red carpet last Sunday - Vintage! Carrie Underwood always looks amazing at red carpet events and at this event she looked simply stunning. Her Gomez Gracia sequined silver, backless, floor length gown was perfectly teamed with a simple low pony tail. Her hair had been&nbsp;delicately&nbsp;pinned back at the nape of the neck but it was given lots of lift at the roots.&nbsp; &nbsp; Another star following in the red carpet style was Katy Perry. She wore a very similar style Ellie Saab dress in a pastel blue shade and her blue bobbed hair was sleeked back. Katy's style was lifted a little more than Carries, which gave a kind of vintage quiff feel to her hair-do! Our favourite of the night was Kelly Osbourne. Often criticised at these type of events, Kelly was styled to perfection. From the Tony Ward silver one shoulder sequined gown to the lilac hue of her her; she looked like a 50's bombshell! Her hair was softly waved and pulled into a deep side fringe - emulating the Hollywood classic style made famous by Marilyn Monroe. The BRITS - The Brits are always known for having a more eclectic feel to any other award show and Jessie J is the perfect example of this eclectic style. Wearing a stunning red see-through floor length gown. The barley there dress looked amazing with dark hair that was styled very differently for Jessie. Her fringe had been swept to the side and her hair finger waved close to her head. This was then pulled back and the ends were curled and backcombed so there was plenty of lift and movement to the style. Adele followed in the big hair trend choosing a style very similar to her appearance at the Grammy’s. The singers red carpet hairstyle was very voluminous at the roots with very bouncy curls added to the tips. We love Adele’s new shade too, very similar to our hair extensions shade Malibu Blonde :) Our favourite hairstyle from the red caret had to be Pixie Lott. Since Pixie chopped off her long locks, we have been used to seeing her hair down and straight. Her style looked very intricate with lots of sectioning and pinning! The curls added to her side swept fringe gave the style a vintage twist that looked amazing with her bright red lips and light blonde hair. <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1330104533 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1330104533&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1330104533 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 02:43:58 -0800 Valentine’s hair styles can make or break that all important outfit. Whether meeting up with your girls for a night on the town or spending a romantic evening in with that special someone you are going to want to look fabulous! Here at Headkandy we’ve pick out a couple of styles that can be enhanced with your hair extensions. The Bardot Beehive This style can look super sexy and sultry for your Valentine’s day plans; the Valentine’s hair style is super easy to do and looks just as stunning when worn in a half-up half-down style or with the ends of you hair tied up. Start by fitting your hair extensions a little lower down than normal and add a little movement to the ends of your hair with a large barrelled tong or conical wand as this movement adds to the sultry appeal of the style. Take a section of your hair at the crown of your head and backcomb this a little. Start then twisting this hair until your have a bun shape that sits close to your head and pin this in place. Using the hair from in front of this section, add a little more backcombing to the roots and pull this hair over your twist. The backcombed section will help create the rounded shape of the classic hair style and secure the ends of this underneath the twist to secure the hair. Run your fingers through the ends and mess these up a little to give a bed head look or if you prefer your ‘do to look a bit more styled you can pull all the hair to one side and secure with a few pins. The Low Slung Side Ponytail This Valentine’s hairstyle looks super hot on all face shapes and adding in your extensions can give a super thick and long style! Whether you like to wear your hair super sleek and straight or with cute curls, this style looks stunning. Fit your hair extensions a little lower than usual and pull all your hair to one side ... fasten this with an elastic - &nbsp;If you wear your fringe/bangs swept to the side then pull your hair to the other side to help balance out the style. Once your ponytail is secure take a section of hair and wrap around the elastic for a classy finish. Vintage Inspired Waves Sometimes it’s better to keep your Valentine’s hair styles looking natural. Adding a little movement to your style can make it super sexy and this will only take you a few minutes. First start by fitting your extensions normally and apply some heat protection. Using a conical wand, take large sections of hair to curl and do this in different directions with each section moving around your head. Once you have moved all the way around take a soft brush and gently pull this through all the curls to soften. If you wanted to glam up this look you can simply pull a section over your ear and add a sparkly clip for that Hollywood glam feel. Happy Valentine's Day from HeadKandy xx <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1329148973 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1329148973&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1329148973 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 08:02:53 -0800 Cheryl Cole’s hair looks gorgeous in the new L’oreal mascara advert! Cheryl has been working with L’oreal for many years now, but she usually advertises their hair range … whether these are dyes or styling products, but she has now become the face of their new mascara - Telescopic! Even though the shoot isn’t for a hair product, Cheryl Cole’s hair still looks absolutely stunning in these ads!! Cheryl Cole’s hair is now a gorgeous, natural dark blonde shade with neutral tones, very much like our Tanned Blonde shade. For the new L’oreal ad, her hair has been styled into loose and soft, large finger waves. This style looks amazing on Cheryl’s bob, but this looks amazing on all lengths and is bang on trend for this seasons styles! It’s super easy to achieve this bang-on trend hair style using a conical wand and a soft brush; after styling all your hair with the wand, leave your curls to cool down, spray a little hairspray on your brush and brush through your curls, this will make them drop and leave a gorgeous soft wave. The guidelines have changed recently on advertising mascara and companies are no longer able to enhance the look with false lashes or post-production so it’s a little strange seeing Cheryl without her usual layers of false lashes in the new mascara ad, but she looks stunning in both the print and television adverts regardless! She appears in some very daring dresses and this combined with her on-trend hair style gives her a great look! In other Cheryl Cole news, she has recently tweeted a sneaky pic of her spring/summer shoe range for stylistpick.com and after these L’oreal pics we can’t wait to see the inevitably girly and glamorous range of ads for the new shoes! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1328799509 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1328799509&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1328799509 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 02:30:47 -0800 The Super Bowl has been making the headlines this week more for the celebrity hairstyles and outfit choices than the game being played! There were many spectacular performances throughout the night’s events all with very different styles and themes! The show was started by Kelly Clarkson who opened with the National anthem. Kelly looked simply stunning in a figure hugging, fitted black dress. Kelly Clarkson's hair is known for changing as she has gone right from very dark to super blonde! Kelly appears to have had a more dominant blunt bang/fringe cut into her hair and her hair looked much longer and darker too! We much prefer Kelly’s hair a little darker and think this super sleek celebrity hair style looks gorgeous on her. Katy Perry also made an appearance at the Superbowl; both watching and performing the newly single star looked to be having loads of fun! Keeping her celebrity style a little more outrageous than Kelly, Katy Perry choose an American football inspired ensemble even sporting mismatching shoes and socks! Her hair shade was still bright blue; Katy Perry's hair was dyed this way for her recent Adidas campaign, but this fitted in perfectly with her styling for the huge event! Katy Perry also wore her hair straight and sleek for her performance and we just love this bobbed cut on her. The most talked about celebrity style of the night was Madonna’s halftime show. The show lasted for nearly 15 minutes with Madonna performing a back catalogue of her classics including Vogue, Music and Like A Prayer. The star pulled off one of the most outrageous outfits and themes of the night, arriving on stage wearing an enormous gold headpiece and outfit surrounded by loads of dancers wearing Egyptian warrior outfits!! Madonna’s hair looked great in a gorgeous warm blonde shade and was styled into stunning curls. The curls were relaxed but defined and started very near the root. She wore these with a super straight centre parting. Using a conical wand will give a similar effect to Madonna’s celebrity hairstyle at the Super Bowl! Madonna was joined on stage by an array of acts including Cee-Lo Green and LMFAO and she ended the performance with her new single Give Me All Your Luvin’ featuring MIA and Nicki Mina;. Nicki Minaj and MIA joined her on stage to perform and came to the forefront of the dancers to perform alongside Madonna. Nicki Minaj, who is never one to disappear into the background, came out with a super cute white bob with a blunt fringe and MIA had a crimped black bob! We love the look created with the dramatic shades and blunt cuts of their new celebrity hairstyles, but we’re pretty sure both styles were created with wigs! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1328714457 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1328714457&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1328714457 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 07:23:14 -0800 The faux bob has been growing in popularity since 2010 and the style keeps showing up at red carpet events and premieres. This style is great for trying out one of this seasons styles without the commitment of chopping off your own locks! &nbsp;There are lots of ways to use your extensions for volume instead of length and using them in this style is perfect for achieving the super voluminous look of the faux bob style. Our tutorial shows just how simple this style can be and how using your HeadKandy hair extensions can give this look loads of oomph and added definition!! Step 1 Using a conical wand, add some shape to the top layer of your own hair. These don't have to be perfect curls or done precisely, they are just to add a little movement to the style! Give a little lift to the hair at the roots by holding this up and using a little hairspray to hold in place. Step 2 Fit your extensions a little lower down than normal so that these sit in the straight part of your hair. Using an elastic, secure your hair into a ponytail and then pull the elastic to the ends of your own hair … this helps disguise your own hair from your extensions. Step 3 Using pins in the same shade as your hair, tuck the elastic at the nape of your neck. Tuck away any loose ends of hair up inside your 'bob' and if you have any lose hair that has fallen out of the elastic pin these under to help with the faux bob illusion. And that's it! How simple is that?! The faux bob is a perfect night out hairstyle that will take just a few minutes!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1328276907 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1328276907&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1328276907 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 05:48:27 -0800 Red carpet hair styles will be be gracing our print and screens for the next few weeks as the award season is upon us. The Golden Globes kicked off the award season last week and our very own National Television Awards followed a few days ago. There were many eclectic and interesting outfit choices and accompanying hairstyles on the red carpet of the UK’s first award show of the season. We loved Holly Willoughby’s take on the vintage hairstyle; Holly always looks gorgeous, but she added a hint of extra sex appeal to her 50’s style in a figure hugging floor length black gown. Her red carpet hairstyle was sophisticated yet girly and suited the style of her dress perfectly. The simple vintage waves throughout the body of her hair were large, created with a large barrel tong. They were soft and brushed out creating gorgeous body and movement. Holly’s deep, side-swept fringe gave the hairstyle an added vintage feel. Her red carpet hair style was bang on trend and we think the style looked amazing on Holly. One of the biggest trends emerging at the awards was a simple updo; Michelle Keegan, Jessica Wright and Heidi Range were all seen sporting this simple red carpet hairstyle. All three girls choose gorgeous floor length gowns, all in very different styles, but all worked with their similar hairstyles gorgeously!! The hairstyle was pinned back, not in a bun or a chignon, but pinned at the back of their heads and pulled back off their faces in small sections. Smaller sections of the hair were left to frame the face to give a softer style and it looked as though all the ends of their hair at the back were tucked away leaving a classy, elegant style. Whilst there were some toned down red carpet hairstyles there were some who choose more intricate and interesting styles. Amy Childs choose a very curled updo; her hair had been pulled to one side and she added medium sized curls which were pinned into a chignon style. Tulisa, who isn’t afraid of trying out new styles, choose a large, pinned up style too! Her hair was scraped tightly back and appeared to be wrapped around itself; this created a very interesting red carpet hairstyle that couldn’t be missed! The style looked to be in the shape of a large bun but with far more detailing than this classic style! Another celeb to be bang on trend at the red carpet event was Elle Macpherson. She choose a high styled ponytail to accompany her high neck dress. The ponytail was super thick and had a little curl through the lengths for added movement. Elle also added a braid around the base of the ponytail which gave the look a girly twist. <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1328113827 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1328113827&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1328113827 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 08:34:55 -0800 The Golden Globes is renowned for producing stunning red carpet hairstyles; as the first big award show of the year the styles have to make a big impression and this years red carpet hair styles haven’t disappointed us here at Headkandy. There were an array of updos and gorgeously long styles with many choosing to stick to this season hair trends. The red carpet hairstyles are always styled to perfection and the Golden Globes have certainly set the standard for the red carpet hair styles this year! Sarah Michelle Gellar decided to stick with a classic, bang on-trend red carpet hairstyle - the ponytail. Wearing a floor length blue and white strapless Monique Lhuillier gown, the actress pulled all her hair tightly into this seasons high ponytail, leaving no hair to frame the face. Sarah added a little bit of lift to the hair in front of her ponytail and her lengths were left straight and sleek which complemented the bustier section of her dress. You can expect to see many updo’s at any red carpet event and this year’s first event in the awards calendar didn't let us down; there was a gorgeous array of intricate and new interpretations of classic styles. Emma Stone’s red carpet hair style was simply stunning and complemented her velvet, deep purple gown. Her auburn locks had been pulled to the side and secured at the nape of her neck. This was then twisted into the shape of a figure eight style chignon. There were many updo’s on the red carpet with Lea Michelle, Natalie Portman and Jessica Alba being just a few who were sporting similar styles, but Emma’s stood out as being a little different to the norm. The dress style on the red caret was very bridal inspired; there were many cream, white and ivory strapless dress being seen and many of these choose to wear their hair loose with plenty of volume and movement to create a contrast to the strapless gowns. Elle Macpherson wore a Zac Posen ivory floor length ivory gown, following this trend along with Jessica Biel, Charlize Theron and Kate Beckinsale. Elle Macpherson’s hair always looks gorgeously thick and on the red carpet her hairstyle was simply this. Her loose waves were defined, but had loads of movement through the ends and loads of volume at the roots. Reese Witherspoon also wore a Zac Posen gown, but she opted for a red 50’s style figure hugging dress. Reese Witherspoon’s red carpet hair seemed less styled compared to many of the other stars, but we are sure many hours of styling went into creating the boho inspired waves; her small waves were brushed out and very tousled for her effortless and natural looking red carpet hair style. We were very impressed with the varying red carpet styles at the Golden Globes … normally you see similar styles repeating themselves so it was great to see so much inspiration taken from this year’s hottest hair trends! The diversity of the red carpet hairstyle at the Golden Globes have us all on the edge of our seat in anticipation for the rest of this years award ceremonies!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1327426333 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1327426333&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1327426333 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 09:32:13 -0800 Katy Perry’s hair has been going through many shade changes recently and this week Katy has stepped out showing off yet another vibrant hair shade. The newly single star has been seen sporting an array of vibrant and constantly changing shades over the last year - going from black to strawberry blonde to pink and only a few weeks ago back to a lighter blonde. It has been suggested that the new blue shade has been changed to reflect her current mood over her split from Russell Brand, but in fact Katy Perry’s blue hair shade has been changed for an Adidas campaign she is currently working on. Katy Perry’s hair has been blue before as she donned a wig for a performance at the MTV awards, but this blue hair was a little less permanent! We think she can do no wrong with her choice of hair shades as everything she tries seems to work great … and we just love keeping up with all of Katy Perry’s hair changes!! Katy Perry’s hair shade is an interesting choice and certainly one that only a few would be able to carry off. Choosing such a vibrant shade is certainly one way of keeping Katy Perry in the headlines for the right reasons!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1326884289 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1326884289&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1326884289 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 02:58:09 -0800 The ombre hair trend has been massive over the last year and it’s a style that is looking to be a popular hair trend for this year too! The style has been seen on many celebs such as Mila Kunis, Whitney Port, Lauren Conrad and Caroline Flack. The ombre hair trend can look gorgeous, but there have been a few celebs to give it a go with very contrasting shades that just look like they need their roots done! The ombre look is super easy to create using extensions whether your own hair is currently dyed this way or not. Using extensions to create the ombre look can also be an oh-so-easy way of changing your style and being bang on trend without dying your own locks!! Option 1 - If your hair is dyed one all over shade and you don’t fancy putting bleach on the tips of your own hair then this is the best option for you :) Choose the shade that you like and that you think will balance your current shade and choose a few single wefts of this shade, it’s probably best to choose a length that isn’t too much longer than your own hair as these wefts won’t correctly add length, but work perfectly for peeping under your hair giving the ombre trend. Fit your wefts lower on your head, but leave enough hair for them not to be visible in the underneath section of your hair. This will leave the lighter sections of hair visible on the tips of your own hair and create the illusion of the ombre look. For a more subtle version of this you can choose a highlighted shade that has one shade similar to your base shade, for example if your base is Melted Chocolate choose shade Iced Coffee for adding a subtle ombre look. Option 2 - If you are already rocking the ombre trend with your current shades then the best way of blending in extensions to the style is to shade match to your lighter hair tips. To create the gradual fade from light to dark you can dye the top of the wefts up to 2 shades darker and blend this down to around half of the weft. Remember though Headkandy Hair Extensions can only be dyed up to 2 shades darker so check that the resultant shade will blend in with your own darker roots first and don’t be tempted to bleach darker extensions to create the ombre hair trend! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1326476319 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1326476319&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1326476319 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 09:38:39 -0800 2011 has been a fabulous year for new hairstyles and new hair shade trends. Whilst we have seen the re-creations of many vintage styles and the simple ponytail has made it’s comeback, we have mainly been talking about hair shade trends this year. The choice of your shade has also become a huge statement with new vibrant colours, dip dye and the ombre look having all been super popular in 2011. Ombre There have been many celebs who have tried this shade trend, some look gorgeous but this is a tricky look than can go a little wrong if the shades are not chosen carefully! Mila Kunis, Lauren Conrad and Caroline Flack are huge stars of the year who have worked the look perfectly. Mila Kunis choose to keep her natural very dark base and added a subtle lighter brown through the tips of her hair and Caroline Flack, whose base is a little lighter, chose a darker blonde for her ombre tips! Lauren has been the most inventive with her ombre style in 2011; She first chose to create the look from her natural dark blonde fading to a super bright blonde. After this shade trend, Lauren Conrad chose to embrace yet another of last years big hair trends with her Dip Dye locks. Dip Dye We have seen this shade trend throughout the summer and autumn of 2011, but it seems to be a trend that isn’t going away as it featured in many SS12 LFW shows ... PPQ being just one of them. Lauren Conrad was the first to cause a stir with this trend when she added multi coloured flicks to her lightened ombre sections; the style looked gorgeous, but this would have been very hard to maintain! She later decided to dye all her tips using a stunning peach toned shade. Peaches Geldof also took on this trend by adding a gorgeous turquoise blue shade to her honey blonde hair and Nicki Minaj is a huge fan of this shade trend, often choosing more than one! Vibrant shades Most famously this shade trend has been seen on Rihanna, but this has been adopted by many more celebs such as Katy Perry, Hayley Williams and Jessie J this year. The vibrant look this season has seen shades such as blues, reds, pinks, purples and even green and orange hues becoming increasingly popular - these celebs have been using these shades not only to dip dye the ends, but to use as a base shade! Jessie J started first embrace this hair trend by changing her normally jet black locks to a gorgeous purple shade before trying a myriad of dip dye and all over vibrant shades. Hayley Williams has always been known for her bright orange hair, but she has tried out a variety or red and orange shades throughout 2011. These shade trends have been huge in 2011, but looking at the spring summer catwalks for 2012 we are sure many of these will be staying with us throughout the coming year :) <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1326127750 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1326127750&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1326127750 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 08:49:10 -0800 Clip in human hair extensions are now becoming an essential part of the daily routine for many girls. These hair accessories are no longer just something that is seen on the red carpet, but in offices and on the high street everyday. Clip in human hair extensions can not only be used to lengthen hair, but they are also perfect for secretly adding volume and movement to your own style. Clip in human hair extensions can be a good booster for a girls confidence too; whether you are adding length to a cut that you wish you never had or adding thickness and fullness to naturally fine hair, choosing the right products for you is the key. To add length to your hair it’s always best to choose a full head set. Headkandy’s full head set is made of 10 wefts that have been specially designed to clip into different places on the head to give the most natural look possible. You can of course play with the positioning of the wefts and find a way that suits you best, we are all different! Remember that you can always ask your stylist to trim, add layers or feathering to your clip in human hair extensions as these all help give the most natural look to your extra inches. If you are happy with your current length and just want a volume boost by using clip in human hair extensions then you can use a selection of single strips or quad wefts for the desired effect. Quad wefts are perfect for adding that extra oomph to your current length for super glamorous hair styles. Fitting these wefts lower down adds that gorgeous fullness and movement that we see as a norm in the celeb world. You can also use these wefts to add definition to your shade - choose a shade that appears a little darker or one that has a few highlights, but don’t go too far away from your current shade as you don’t want them to become too obvious! The beauty with choosing clip in human hair extensions is they can be treated exactly as your own hair can. This means you don’t have to worry about styling them! Using a good quality heat protection means that you can curl, wave and straighten them to rock whatever style you fancy! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1325697656 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1325697656&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1325697656 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 09:20:56 -0800 Us HeadKandy girls are super excited for New Year’s Eve tonight so we though we would share our favourite New Years hair styles with you!! Whether you’re out on the town or spending time with family and friends, these gorgeous hair styles will look great so you can celebrate New Year with added glamour! The High Ponytail This is super quick to create as your New Year hair style, but it is no less gorgeous! Think Kim Kardashian and Nicole Scherzinger because these ladies certainly know how to work their high ponytails!! If you wearing hair extensions for this hairstyle then we would recommend flipping them around so they flow in the same direction as your hair does when it’s tied up … you may find you don’t need to wear the full head set for your high ponytail. You need to decide whether you want to wear this New Year hair style super sleek or with some lift at the front of the head … if you want to add a quiff then be sure to do this before tying your hair up! The Kate Middleton We are huuuge fans of Kate Middleton’s hair here at HK Headquarters (as you may have noticed) and we think her hair is the perfect inspiration for a super glamorous New Years hair style. This hair style works great with a centre or a slightly off-centre parting and a sweeping side fringe ... and a good blow dry really helps with the overall look! A HeadKandy full head set can add extra thickness and length to re-create the gorgeous volume that Kate Middleton’s hair has. Once your extensions are in place and you have applied a heat protection treatment, use a large barrelled tong to add curls mainly to the ends of the hair. Gently run a soft brush through your curls to loosen them slightly for that effortless Kate Middleton look! Brigitte Bardot Inspired Half-up Half-down Brigitte Bardot’s hair is truly iconic and we just love the volume her hair always carried. The Brigitte Bardot inspired half-up half-down New Years hairstyle is easy to do at home and definitely doesn’t disappoint! An additional quad weft on the crown of the head will help give you a volume boost for this gorgeous style! Backcombing the roots of your hair at the crown of the head or using a root crimper will also add extra volume for your Bardot inspired ‘do. If you are adding curls to this style then be sure to do so after fitting your extensions as this will create a more flawless look. When you have fitted your extensions, you can part your hair around ear level or higher and create your Bardot bouffant … secure the hair at the back of your head with a clip for added glamour. Happy New Year from everyone at HeadKandy xx <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1325344273 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1325344273&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1325344273 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 08:08:42 -0800 Cheryl Cole’s hair and figure look amazing at the moment ...we’re not sure if this is from her love of living in the US or her new venture into being a shoe designer, but her new look has us all envious. Not only is her hair looking full and voluminous, but she seems to be much happier and has regained her curves back after a tricky few months. Like the majority of girls, Cheryl has confessed to all about her love for shoes claiming to own nearly 2000 pairs! We love how dreamy the TV advert for her new shoe range is; it’s filmed with a glowing 60’s haze … very fitting for the style of Cheryl Cole’s hair, outfit and huge sunglasses. Cheryl Cole’s hair is styled super thick and tousled into a long bob shape that fits perfectly with this 60’s dream like theme. Cheryl’s hair appears to be a little darker than we have seen of late. The darker warm tones of her hair look stunning against her glowing skin tone and her style and shade appear a good match for a 12-14” set of Butterscotch Highlights. The print adverts for the shoes take a different style and Cheryl Cole’s hair looks very glamorous whilst promoting her shoe collection. We love how the different styles have been used to showcase the shoes and their inspiration. The LBD and root pumped loose hairstyle look gorgeous teamed with ‘Royal Hotness’ and we adore her cutesy pigtailed hairstyle with a girly jumper for our favourite of Cheryl’s collection the ‘RiRi’ boots :) Her hair appears a little darker in these pics and nearly back to the Iced Coffee brunette shade she has become famous for. Using an extra quad weft alongside your full head can give you the extra root lift that Cheryl Cole’s hair has for all the styles in these photos. <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1324646934 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1324646934&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1324646934 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 05:28:54 -0800 Kate Middleton's hair and dress choice at The Sun's Military Awards Monday night made her front page news. Kate stood out from the crowd in a stunning black velvet, floor length fishtail Alexander McQueen gown by one of her favourite designers Sarah Burton. Many people have been comparing the unusual dress for Kate to a dress Diana wore over 20 years ago. Kate, who was at the awards with husband Prince William and his brother Prince Harry, showed the impact and the importance of the young Royals amongst the celebrity guests such as David Beckham, Myleene Klass and Amy Childs. Kate Middleton's hair didn't disappoint us here at Headkandy - we are always in admiration of how glossy and healthy Kate Middleton’s hair always looks and on the red carpet her hair glistened. Styled in a deep side parting, her long locks had been curled with a large barrelled tong. The curls framing Kate's face had been shaped to curl inwards and these appeared to be brushed and smoothed out a little to add a real vintage feel. It's been a while since Kate has been seen dressed up for an event such as this; her style choices are always a huge talking point and we love this more mature, sophisticated look on Kate! She added a little sparkle to her outfit with a statement necklace and bracelet to keep the look very girly! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1324466752 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1324466752&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1324466752 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 03:27:46 -0800 We’ve just loved watching the Little Mix hair styles during this year’s X Factor and the girls, who were announced as winners on Sunday night, certainly didn’t disappoint with their chosen hair styles for the final shows of X Factor 2011!! The Little Mix hair styles have been big and bold throughout the series; the girls have certainly embraced their voluminous hair and the result has been bang on-trend styles for each show!! We love the varied shades of Little Mix’s hair too!! Jesy Nelson’s hair is a warm, BRonde shade that suits her skin tone perfectly!! We think Jade Thirlwall’s plum hair is just gorgeous and we prefer this to the light brown shade she started with on X Factor. Leigh-Anne Pinnock’s hair is on-trend and very Rihanna-esque; her bold, vibrant red tones look great and the shaved sections give her a real edge!! Perrie Edwards light blonde tones suit her SO well!! Her hair would be a fab match for our Paparazzi Highlights hair extensions!! The Little Mix hairstyles were gorgeous for the final live shows last weekend! All the girls left their hair down with on-trend volume and curls which gave their hair styles fab movement!! A large barrelled tong would be perfect for re-creating the voluminous curls that Little Mix had! Don’t play with your curls too much as you want them to remain big with lots of texture and bounce! And we can’t possibly blog about Little Mix without mentioning Tulisa, the Little Mix mentor, who had equally gorgeous hair for last weekends X Factor finale! Tulisa’s hair has never failed to look fabulous throughout X Factor 2011 and we loved her hair style choices for the final shows. Tulisa’s hair was styled into a side ponytail that was full of volume on Saturday night … Tulisa is definitely on-trend with this chosen style … the ponytail has been HUGE this year!! Our favourite Tulisa hair style from last weekend though was her super, long locks from Sunday’s show... a 24-26” HeadKandy full head set would be ideal for re-creating Tulisa’s mermaid lengths!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1324041035 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1324041035&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1324041035 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 06:09:26 -0800 Nicole Scherzinger’s hair has been played a little safe throughout this series of X Factor USA, but it’s consistently looked gorgeous nonetheless!! Nicole has certainly made a big impression on America in her debut year at X Factor... she may have been at the centre of many controversial moments over the series, but she never fails to look amazing when she steps out onto the famous stage - her style choices have been more than we had expected as she has made some daring choices with her outfits … and Nicole Scherzinger’s hair always looks fabulous to complement each outfit choice!! We loved Nicole Scherzinger’s hair style last week - her high ponytail was styled with an elevated french plait at the centre of her head. Her hair was pulled super tight against her head to further enhance the root lift of her braid. He ponytail was left straight, but a little bit tousled giving the rock chick style that accompanied her dress so well! Choosing a floor length silver gown with stud detail to the neck design, she looked glamorous with an edgy twist.&nbsp; Nicole Scherzinger’s hair has been styled in a high ponytail many times throughout the season … this style is fast becoming one that Nicole is recognised for! Keeping her style bang on trend for this year, Nicole’s ponytails have varied between super high and pulled tight and left a little looser with the styling concentrated on her fringe. This season’s high ponytail is worn with the hair flat to the head, but as Nicole has shown, adding a huge quiff at the front of the head is perfect for making a big statement. Always wrap a small section of hair around the base of your ponytail for the celeb look. We love Nicole Scherzinger’s hair best when it’s left loose and naturally curled. Her gorgeous waves always look stunning and effortless. A 24-26” full head of Headkandy hair extensions in Soho are perfect for creating the length and volume of Nicole’s hair. Nicole Scherzinger’s hair looked simple but stunning worn with her beige, floor length, chiffon draped gown at the beginning of the live shows. <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1323867051 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1323867051&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1323867051 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 06:09:04 -0800 Hair extensions are the perfect secret weapon for all your Christmas hairstyles. If you are using your hair extensions to enhance your length or volume or if you’re using them by following these simple Christmas hairstyle tips, you really can change your look in a just few minutes! Using hair extensions can create the perfect styles for those after work parties, family gatherings and for all the events you will be attending over the festive season! Half updo’s This Christmas hair style is great for adding extra volume at the crown of your head and for looking super glamorous for the festive season! First fit your extensions and straighten or curl your hair with these for a seamless look. Start the style by sectioning the upper section of hair away from the bottom. In the upper section of hair take a smaller section of your own hair at the crown of your head and backcomb this, be sure to leave enough hair to smooth over the backcombed section. Pull the upper section of hair, all together as if you are tying into a ponytail, but instead twist this ... push the hair up and pin in place. This will give added ooomph to the crown. Use a jewelled clip to secure the hair in place for the perfect Christmas hair style. Plaits/Braids This style has been growing in popularity all year and continues to look gorgeous for the festive season. Whether it’s in an updo or worn down, plaits/braids are a must have Christmas hair style. If you prefer to wear your hair down, a super easy trick is to take a single weft of your hair extensions and fold the clips in on themselves so they are about 1” wide. Ask a friend to hold this for you or use a hair clamp to attach to something solid so that you can split the hair and plait/braid as you would with your own hair. Use a small snag/elastic to secure the ends. Once you have styled your hair as normal you can use this weft of hair extension as a headband, securing the clip section with pins at the nape of the neck so no one will ever know your secret. This is the perfect trick for adding plaits/braids to a chignon too as you can simply hide the clips with the wrapped around hair! Buns This season has seen the return of the large bun, whether worn up high or to the side this looks super glamorous if you have super thick hair, but for those who aren’t blessed with super dense hair, hair extensions can come to your rescue! Flip your head upside down and tie your own hair into a high ponytail for the high option or pull your hair to the side and tie behind the ear. &nbsp;In a circular position, fit a few wefts of your hair extensions around the base of your ponytail. Try and position these as close to your bobble as possible and then closer to the hair extension wefts as you add more. Then when you have added as many wefts of your hair extensions as you like, simply twist the hair around itself and pin into place. The extra hair should be thick enough to hide where you have clipped in the hair extensions! Victory Rolls These is the ultimate 40’s hair style; they are the epitome of the era and look very glamorous. This style looks great when worn with loose hair or as an accompaniment to an updo. A great way at cheating with this look is to use a single weft of your hair extensions! Don’t fit the hair extensions to your hair, but roll them in your hand and use a pin to hold the shape. Position at the top or on the side of your hair depending on the style you are recreating. We love the vintage inspired looks appearing everywhere at the moment and this would be just perfect as your Christmas hairstyle of choice!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1323446043 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1323446043&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1323446043 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 08:14:17 -0800 We love Marilyn Monroe’s hair and the vintage inspired hairstyle that the star became famous for ... and with the release of the film My Week With Marilyn we thought this was the perfect opportunity to recreate the Hollywood Classic hair style! Using your Headkandy extensions will add extra volume and bounce to this vintage hair style; you don’t have to stick to the shorter lengths for this style, as Lauren Conrad, Megan Fox and many other celebs show this style looks amazing with a little extra length too! Following our super easy tutorial will make this red carpet classic a doddle! Step One Start by fitting your extensions with your hair unstyled. Apply a little heat protection to both your hair and extensions. Step Two Section off your hair ready to curl. It’s most important to section the front, face framing panels! Step Three Start curling your hair using the tongs. Be sure to hold your tongs horizontally and curl the hair under. Once you have held the tong in place for a few seconds, use one hand to hold your hair (we would advise using a protective glove to avoid burning your fingers!) and slowly pull the tong out of the middle. Once you have the curl in your hand use a pin/grip to hold the curl in place to cool. Continue this step for the back sections of hair. Step Four The shape of this vintage hair style comes mainly from the hair framing your face. Be sure to hold the tongs vertical for these sections and curl the hair into your face. Again pin the curls and leave to cool. Step Five It’s usually best to leave the curls pinned until the last minute to ensure they are completely cooled. Once you have unpinned you hair, use a large soft brush to gently tease out the curls. A great tip is to use a little hairspray on your brush as this will stop your hair becoming flyaway whilst being brushed (if using extensions then be very careful using hairspray … use it sparingly and use a type that is easy to brush out). You can also use a little serum on your fingers and smooth this through your hair … you can use this to emphasise the shape of the curls around your face. This Marilyn Monroe hair style looks elegant and classy and really is super easy to do and really is the perfect look for the party season. To jazz up this vintage inspired hairstyle and make it red carpet ready you can pin one section of hair behind your ear and add a jewelled accessory. <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1322835280 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1322835280&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1322835280 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 08:23:31 -0800 Clip hair extensions are a great Christmas gift idea for ladies as we just LOVE to look our best for the festive season!! This time of year gives us the perfect excuse to get glammed up; we dedicate hours to thinking about the perfect outfits and accessories for Christmas and New Year’s parties as well as for the big day itself … (with so many people to meet and greet this time of year, we want to look amazing) … and clip hair extensions are an essential accessory for any Christmas outfit!! Clip hair extensions add beautiful length and volume to our own hair to help create celeb styling for the party season. For updo’s, clip hair extensions can add extra oomph and thickness for a hair style that really makes a statement! For down styles, clip hair extensions can add gorgeous volume, texture and movement to your current hair, but they can also add glamorous length with full head sets up to 24-26” long! Clip hair extensions are super versatile … they’re easy to clip in and out to change your look for the party season (and into the New Year), they can be heat styled for more flawless blending and they can be dyed up to 2 shades darker if the shade match isn’t exact. Us ladies can be tricky to buy for at the best of times, but you won’t go far wrong if you surprise us with some gorgeous clip hair extensions on Christmas morning ... after all, clip in hair extensions are much more exciting to open than socks!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1322579022 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1322579022&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1322579022 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 07:04:40 -0800 It is widely documented that clip in hair extensions are the safest kind of extensions to choose . Whilst all hair extensions can cause damage, clip in hair extensions tend to cause the least, they are no more damaging than tying your hair back in a tight ponytail! Clip in hair extensions rely on the clips to keep the hair extensions in place and unlike other methods of hair extensions, these are taken out at night to give the hair a rest from the pressures of wearing extensions! Having the extensions permanently in adds extra pressure to the hair and can cause it to fall out. The clips play such an important part in this and the clips we use here at HeadKandy are very discreet, they are medium sized and have a special micro-rubber tube ... they are also pressure sensitive; all of this helps to keep the clip in hair extensions securely in place … stopping them from slipping out (and revealing your secret to gorgeous hair!) as well as stopping them pulling on your natural hair too much and causing unnecessary damage. Clip in hair extensions give such a gorgeously thick and natural appearance that we are baffled why anybody would choose other methods of extensions over clip ins; there are just so many advantages to using clip in hair extensions!! Clip ins allow you to change you style very easily without the fuss of visiting a salon. You can easily add highlights to your own shade without the commitment of bleaching or colouring your own hair! You can add many more inches of length to your current style and use them to add oodles of volume and that little bit of extra oomph to your existing length! Another great thing about clip in hair extensions is that you can use them to enhance and help you cheat with intricate styles and updo’s so celeb styling is much more achievable!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1322318929 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1322318929&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1322318929 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 07:04:25 -0800 If you’re stuck for ideas for your Thanksgiving hairstyles then take a look at our top picks to ensure you look super glam for the holiday celebrations!! The High Ponytail Ponytail’s are still going strong as far as this year’s hair trends are concerned and the high ponytail is a perfect choice for your Thanksgiving hairstyle! Add gorgeous thickness and length to your ponytail by fitting a few HeadKandy hair extension wefts first then gather your own hair and hair extensions together and secure them high up on the crown of your head for an impressive ponytail that looks great worn casual or glammed up!! This season’s high ponytail is worn with the hair flat to the head, but you could always add a quiff at the front of the head for a slight twist on the trend! The Gibson Tuck The Gibson Tuck is a sophisticated Thanksgiving hair style that’s super easy to achieve!! This amazing updo is ideal for any occasion where you want an impressive style with little fuss! Follow our easy step by step guide to re-create the Gibson Tuck for your own Thanksgiving hairstyle. You can add texture to this style by curling your hair and extensions … or by adding some braids … be sure to do this before you start your Gibson Tuck though!! The Fishtail Braid The Fishtail Braid is still a big favourite of ours at HeadKandy HQ; it’s a good choice for a Thanksgiving hairstyle as it’s easy to do and is guaranteed to look great!! The longer your hair is for the Fishtail Braid, the better! A HeadKandy full head set in 20-22” or 24-26” is bound to make a statement for this style. Fit your extensions first and then gather them in with your own hair to start your Fishtail Braid. The Fishtail Braid can be worn sleek and smooth or you can pull strands loose for a more carefree finish. We personally love Kim Kardashian’s hair in the below photo; her Oktoberfest inspired Fishtail pigtails look amazing!! Big Hair The celebrity big hair trend has been hugely popular this year and if you prefer to wear your hair loose then big hair is the key for your Thanksgiving hair style!! Think Elle Macpherson, Kate Middleton, Cheryl Cole and Sarah Jessica Parker - these ladies wear their big hair with pride! We love uber volume at the roots of the hair … get this on-trend root lift by backcombing the roots of your natural hair or by using a root crimper and then add an additional quad weft alongside your full head set for extra oomph!! For volume though the lengths of your hair use a large barrelled tong and gently brush through the curls (don’t play with them too much though, you don’t want them to loose volume!) Add some sparkle to this gorgeous style with a cute clip or hairband! Happy Thanksgiving from HeadKandy xx <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1322237467 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1322237467&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1322237467 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 08:14:40 -0800 What better excuse do you need than this time of the year to try out red hair extensions?! We love how changing your hair colour to a vibrant shade can make such a big statement. Using red hair extensions can be the perfect way to add a little bit of bold colour to your normal shade! Burlesque red is our most vibrant shade of red. It is a gorgeously deep and rich yet highly vibrant shade that has berry tones of red and plum. The multi tonal qualities of the Burlesque Red hair extension shade gives it gorgeous blend effect that allows it to blend with many red, burgundy or plum shades. Using a few single strips or a quad weft of Burlesque Red hair extensions can look truly stunning against a dark base shade for a vibrant highlighted look. Having the red hair extensions trimmed into your own hair style gives them such a natural look that everyone will think you have dyed your own hair this gorgeous shade. If you like your red hair extensions to be a little brighter and like the lighter section of Hayley Williams hair then choosing a light blonde shade such as Bunny Blonde or Paparazzi Highlights and dying them could be a good option for you. There are many semi permanent vibrant dye brands that work perfectly for this look. If you do use a permanent dye be sure to check that it doesn’t contain pre lighteners as many red dyes do and we don’t recommend bleaching and lightening the extensions. Always be sure to conduct a strand test first though. Both variations of red hair extensions work perfectly for adding highlights if you want to try out these shades without the commitment of dying your own hair. But if you like to be bold with your hair then these do look amazing as all over shades!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1321712964 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1321712964&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1321712964 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 06:29:24 -0800 Jessie J’s hair has certainly undergone some huge changes in both style and shade in her most recent appearances and performances. Jessie J’s hair has transformed itself recently, from a black bob to long black waves to a purple bob and back to long waves with silver tips ... she always seems to pull off each look and it always looks amazing!! Jessie has made it very public that she plans to shave all her hair off next year to raise money for charity so we are convinced that she is using this time wisely to try out all the styles that she has ever wanted to try! She really is turning into a hair style chameleon at the moment!! We love her hair when it’s a little longer and we love her variations of the dip dye trend she’s experimented with. Jessie J’s hair looks stunning with her silver grey shade, this is a very unusual shade to choose, but we love how it complemented the black base at the roots of her hair! The next shade for her to try was a very bright red! This look marked the start of her UK tour, but it wasn’t long before Jessie J’s hair was transforming again! On a recent performance at The X Factor USA, Jessie J’s hair had gone back to her trademark bob, but this time it was a very bright blue shade! The star is known for making very British statements and we just loved this very patriotic shade on Jessie! The ever changing style of Jessie J’s hair just make us more intrigued to see what she will try next! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1321460051 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1321460051&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1321460051 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 08:14:42 -0800 At HeadKandy, we think the best hair extensions are always the most natural looking hair extensions! No one wants to go out with noticeable hair extensions that are thin and unnatural looking … you want people to notice how good your hair looks rather than comment that you’re wearing extensions!! &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Human hair extensions are generally the best hair extensions to choose for a natural finish; they can be heat styled just like your own hair and if the shade isn’t quite right then you can possibly dye them up to 2 shades darker for a closer match! To choose the best hair extensions for you, it’s important to consider what you want the end result to be … are you looking to add length or do you just want thickness and volume? To lengthen your hair (and for a super natural finish) it’s best to choose a full head set. The extensions are spread over 10 wefts in a full head set to give you all over length, volume and thickness. Fit your full head set and style the extensions in with your natural hair for a more flawless look!! If you want a volume and thickness boost to your current length then the best hair extensions for you may be quad or standard wefts. By choosing a quad weft or a standard weft in the same length as your natural hair, you can easily add that extra desired thickness and texture for a glamorous style! When choosing the best hair extensions you’ll also want to think about the length. By measuring downwards from the top of your ear, you can get a rough guide line of where the extensions will fall on you … this will allow you to figure out which length you would be more comfortable with. Some of us prefer luxurious mermaid lengths and others prefer just a few inches extra so it’s a great idea to check the lengths on yourself first!! Don’t settle for second best hair extensions ladies, choose glamorous and natural looking human hair extensions and no one needs to know that it’s not your natural hair! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1321019771 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1321019771&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1321019771 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 08:52:35 -0800 The Gibson Tuck is a super easy and gorgeously glamorous updo that doesn’t require a ton of pins and it’s really hassle free!! The Gibson Tuck is a classic Victorian hair style with a modern twist; it’s a great everyday ‘do, but it’s the perfect style for an evening out. Longer and thicker hair is usually best with the Gibson Tuck, so using a HeadKandy full head set in at least 16-18” is generally the best option for this style. Step One First fit your hair extensions … you may find it helpful to fit them a little lower down than you would normally do so that the clips are well hidden. You may find that you won’t need to wear all of the wefts for this style. Step Two Pull your natural hair and your hair extensions into a ponytail together and secure with an elastic. Sit your ponytail in line with the top of your ears so you have plenty of hair to tuck for the style. Step Three Pull the elastic about half way down your ponytail and then in the loose section of hair above the ponytail, use your fingers to separate the hair to give you an empty pocket. Step Four Hold the pocket of hair open with one hand and tuck the ends of your ponytail into the pocket with the other hand. Once the ends are tucked away, fold the rest of the ponytail and the elastic into the pocket of hair. Step Five Once you have finished tucking the hair away, use a few hair pins to secure your style. It can be helpful to use at least one pin through the elastic to hold the style in place securely. Use a small amount of product to set your Gibson Tuck if necessary. If you want a curly style for the Gibson Tuck then be sure to add curls to the hair first and then follow the above steps as normal. This style also looks great with a few plaits or braids added … again, be sure to do this before you start your Gibson Tuck. Adding a clip or flower to your hair can make the Gibson Tuck super girly. Or add a jewel for a more glamorous finish to this easy updo!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1320841996 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1320841996&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1320841996 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 04:33:16 -0800 We had our eyes peeled for red carpet hair styles at the 2011 MTV European Music Awards in Belfast Sunday night; the awards show seemed to be all about Lady Gaga as the singing sensation walked aways from the awards show with a whopping 4 awards! We love knowing who scoops each award, but we are more concerned with the top looks from the red carpet!! The red carpet hairstyles at these awards tend to be a little more inventive than they are at many other events, but this years award show saw many celebs choosing youthful yet very glamorous styles! Not wanting to blend into the background, Lady Gaga looked like one of the awards she was carrying on the red carpet. She opted for a figure hugging silver dress by Paco Rabanne, made entirely from paper, so she was certainly going to make headlines. She stayed on trend with her red carpet hairstyle, but her side ponytail wasn’t going to be simple!! Lady Gaga’s hair was styled into a high side ponytail with a bun around the base … the lengths of the ponytail almost looked like a tiered, fringed dress! Her ponytail had 3 different stepped sections of hair and certainly looked very interesting! Selena Gomez, who was hosting the nights events, arrived in a stunning cream lace Marchesa dress. Her hair had been waved and tousled, using large barrelled tongs, and pulled into a side ponytail. A small section of hair had been used to wrap around the elastic at the base of her pony ... this is the perfect way to make a simple ponytail a little more like an evening do and less everyday. She also left a few shorter sections of her hair loose and curled these sections a little tighter than the rest of her hair to frame her face. We think her red carpet hairstyle looked very elegant. Jessie J’s hair looked gorgeous on the night. Her red carpet style was very elegant which is a change to her usual rock chick style. Her floor length leopard print gown looked gorgeous and we loved her red carpet hairstyle too. Taking away her red dip dyed look, Jessie’s red carpet hairstyle was back to her trademark bob. Her blunt fringe had been pulled into a side sweeping fringe and her bob had been curled. Her curls had a very vintage feel to them and worked perfectly with her bright red lips!! Katy Perry’s red carpet hairstyle was also vintage inspired. We love Katy Perry’s style and thought her very girly outfit was just fab! We just loved her vintage hairstyle; her pink hair has been styled into large waves and her fringe was curled into a tight curl creating a vintage pompadour fringe. Her hair had then been pulled and pinned behind her ear on the one side exposing her statement 50’s style earrings. We think the 50’s inspired look works amazingly with Katy’s curvaceous figure. <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1320761243 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1320761243&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1320761243 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 06:10:30 -0800 Scene hair styles are ever growing in popularity and with the growing trend, scene hair extensions are getting even more inventive. Scene hair is a style more common and familiar with teenagers who love experimenting with new shades and styles; Using scene hair extensions, the styles have become even more exaggerated and creative recently. Scene hair is known for having short choppy layers at the back and top layers and longer sections, often using clip in hair extensions, lower down and pulled to the front. It’s usually these longer sections that use scene hair extensions to enhance the shades and designs! After looking at many images of this style here at Headkandy, we have noticed that there are three main designs … &nbsp;the colourful, the light and the dark! The Colourful Scene Hair Extensions For this scene hair extension style we have seen many variations. Some girls really go for it and choose to dye the base shade of their hair using really bright shade too! The longer sections then vary between complementing shades, designed wefts and contrasting bright shades! An alternative to this scene hair extension style is one that’s a little more toned down by choosing a dark base shade, but using the bright sections around the face. The Dark This is a more subtle scene hair extension style. Most girls choose a dark base shade and choose just a few brighter streaks around the face. The contrasting shade isn’t always a vibrant shade, but can be a more subtly light brown or blonde shade. This is a much more natural scene hair style. The Light This scene hair style usually has a very white ash blonde as a base shade. The colours used alongside this base are usually pastel, milkshake shades. Think candy pink, mint green and lavender lilac for your scene hair extensions! These tones look amazing against the pale base shade and make the scene hair extensions look super girly!! Many girls also add some scene hair extensions to the shorter section of the hair to add in some more textures or tones. Many with this style have a heavy fringe/bang and use this to blend in the colours used in their longer sections. Whilst the majority of scene hair styles are worn down we have found that the style still works worn up! We love how scene hair extensions work with both a ponytail and pigtails! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1320490097 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1320490097&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1320490097 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 03:53:24 -0700 Kate Middleton has certainly developed her own individual style helped by her outfit choices since she wed Prince William in April this year and Kate Middleton’s hair has always played an important role in complimenting her outfit choices for an elegant style. Kate Middleton, who is famous for wearing Issa, Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen and Temperley has now been put on the top of the Britain’s Best Dressed list by Harper’s Bazaar! She has become the new British style icon overtaking many previous No.1’s including Kate Moss, Stella McCartney and Emma Watson in this poll! We love Kate Middleton’s elegant and typically British style; her dresses are always classy, but very on-trend in the design, cut and colour. Kate Middleton’s hair is gorgeously thick, healthy looking and glossy and it seems to look great however she wears it and it works effortlessly well with all her style choices! Kate Middleton’s hair is left loose, more often than not, with a few curls through the ends to add stunning movement! Kate is lucky enough to have luxuriously thick hair so this style looks perfect on her, but if you're not blessed with the same locks as Kate you can add a quad weft to your existing length, or a full head set if you have a shorter style, to get the same volume and movement that Kate Middleton’s hair has. Be sure to add root lift to your hair and use a large barrelled tong on the ends for Princess-like volume in your locks!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1320157479 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1320157479&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1320157479 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 07:33:59 -0700 Cher Lloyd’s hair looked gorgeous for her X Factor appearance yesterday! She appeared with shoulder length hair styled into natural waves … the look was very different to how we’ve seen her hair recently, but it suited her very well!! The shaved style and dip-dye effect were both long gone for Cher Lloyd’s hair as she returned to the X Factor stage on Sunday to perform her new single ‘With Your Love’. She had an on-trend side parting in her chocolate brown locks and her hair style worked perfectly with her brightly coloured, harlequin print clown style outfit! We just loved Cher Lloyd’s hair style and the slight vintage feel created by the shape of the hair at the front; You can easily re-create the look that Cher Lloyd’s hair carried for her X Factor performance with a 12-14” full head set in Espresso and a large barrelled tong. Fit your extensions and then style them in with your natural hair using the tongs … gently brush through the curls after styling to loosen them slightly, but not too much … you still want them to be full of gorgeous volume!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1320077216 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1320077216&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1320077216 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 09:06:56 -0700 Brown hair extensions can be used in many more ways than you would think. Most people would associate brown hair extensions with adding volume and length to your current brunette shade, but there are many more options!! You can use brown hair extensions to add lowlights to your existing shade. If you’re a blonde, you can choose a brown hair extensions shade and position these to give the look of lowlights! If you are a very dark brown shade you can choose a lighter brown shade to add subtle depth to your base shade. If you prefer to have a more contrasted look then choose a brown hair extension shade much lighter or darker to make them really stand out!! You can also use brown hair extensions to try out the dip dyed look. Instead of choosing wefts in a similar length to your own as you would to create a highlighted look you can opt for one that is a little longer. The best way to get the dip dyed look is to fit the brown hair extension wefts a little lower down on your head, but not to cover the very bottom layer of your own hair. This will allow the extra length to sit underneath your own and give you the look without having to dye your own hair! They can also be used to help with updo’s! If your bun doesn’t look as full as you would like it to or your plait/braid isn’t as long as you would like, choosing brown hair extensions (or any other suitable shade) can help give your updo’s extra oomph! It’s always best to fit the brown hair extensions where your updo will be positioned as the extra hair can help hide where they have been clipped in :) <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1320072657 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1320072657&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1320072657 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 09:51:43 -0700 Everyone wants to stand out when it comes to Halloween hair and outfit choices - in a sea of vampires, ghouls and witches this is a little tricky. We love how the costumes have become less scary and more inventive over recent years so we have decided to look at a few of our favourite fun and ‘good’ rather than evil Halloween outfits and the best Halloween hairstyles to accompany the look. Harry Potter Whether you choose to dress up as Hermoine Granger or Luna Lovegood for your Harry Potter themed Halloween outfit your hair must be long and wavy. For Luna Lovegood’s hair you will need to choose a very light blonde shade such as Bunny Blonde or Paparazzi Highlights and Hermoine Granger’s hair is perfect for Butterscotch Highlights! Hermoine’s hair is a little shorter than Luna’s and her waves appear more natural and unstyled, a great way of achieving this look is to plait/braid a few of your wefts together and simply take these out a few days later! Hermoine’s hair is a little unruly so backcombing the roots of your own hair before fitting your extensions will give the same look :) Luna’s long locks are generally more defined than Hermoine’s. To re-create Luna’s hair you can use a curling wand. This will give the definition to the curl and allow you to start a little closer to the root than a tong. &nbsp; Ragdoll Dolls have often carried evil connotations and the ragdoll is no exception; known for being made out of all the odd left over bits, there has always been something a little eerie about the ragdoll so this outfit is perfect for Halloween as it’s so easy to re-create both the outfit and Halloween hair. The majority of the ragdolls wear their hair in high up pigtails with tons of volume. Whether you choose a braid/plait or just normal pigtails, the more hair the better! Adding a few quad wefts to your hair is perfect for adding more volume to this Halloween hair style. It is also a great way of adding a few highlights in a crazy shade! Bunny Blonde is perfect for dying bright shades or if you wanted to stick to the more traditional ragdoll red then Burlesque Red is a gorgeous shade. Enchanting Fairy The enchanting fairy is the perfect Halloween outfit for those who still like to look girly! To change this look from the evil version you can keep your make up and outfit to soft colours and glitter and even wear some flowers or glitter in your hair! The best Halloween hair to accompany this outfit is the waterfall braid/plait. This is super cute and girly and can be worn with curly, wavy or straight hair. Fit your extensions first and then follow our guide to creating this look. The addition of glittery accessories or flowers can really make your Halloween hair part of your outfit!! Old Hollywood Hair There are 2 main Halloween hairstyles for this look. The first is the beehive! Think Tippi Hedron in The Birds and Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. A high chignon or french pleat is the best way to style your hair for this Halloween style. You want to add volume at the crown by backcombing at the roots. Fit your extensions a little lower down so that your pleat or chignon hides them. The other way of recreating Old Hollywood hair is to try the soft waved bob. A 12-14” set is perfect for this look. Use large barrelled tongs and pin the curls whilst they cool down. Once you have curled all your hair and they have all cooled, unpin the curls and using a soft brush gently brush through the curls, this should leave you with large soft waves. You can use a little serum to smooth these. Use a pin to pull back some hair over your ear and add a jewelled pin for classic Hollywood glamour. <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1319557383 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1319557383&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1319557383 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 08:47:41 -0700 Halloween is fast approaching so the planning for the perfect costume, accessories and hair have begun … well we’ve got the hair covered for you at least with our Halloween hair extensions. Halloween hair extensions can be used to enhance any Halloween hair style, but here are our HeadKandy top picks for ‘dark styles’ for this year! The Dark Fairy The Dark Fairy or Gothic fairy is a super cute costume, but with a ‘dark’ twist. Style your Halloween hair extensions into voluminous pigtails to compliment this costume. Fit your HeadKandy hair extensions first, angling them away from where the parting will sit on the back of the head (this keeps them discreet) and then part your hair and extensions into two bunches/pigtails just above your ears. Secure your bunches with elastics or bows and then fit your halo!! The Witch There are two options for your Witch hair style ...you can go for the Wicked Witch of the West style where you fit your hair extensions first and then pull your hair and extensions to the back of your head, twisting them into a bun or chignon. (Follow our step by step guide for the perfect Chignon!) Alternatively, wearing your Halloween hair extensions long and loose looks great with a Witch costume. Wear your extensions super sleek and straight or add some loose curls with a large barrelled tong, gently brush through the curls to loosen them slightly. The Devil Halloween hair extensions are great if you’re opting to dress as a Devil. Soho Black and Burlesque Red are gorgeous shades for this style; wear your hair extensions long and loose with a super sleek finish. To add a unique twist to your Devil Halloween hair extensions, why not add victory rolls instead of horns for Old Hollywood hair and a glamorous finish!! The Vamp The Vamp is a popular choice every Halloween, but even more so now that we’re all hooked on Twilight! Think sex appeal for The Vamp and wear your Halloween hair extensions lusciously long! Whether you’re blonde or dark, you can pull this look off gorgeously! A 20-22” full head set is a great length for The Vamp; add some flirtatious curls or wear your hair super straight and sleek! The Zombie Bride The options are really open with The Zombie Bride, but here at HK we just love two Zombie looks in particular! The Boho Zombie Bride look is super easy to achieve; add lots of volume at your roots by backcombing the hair and then fit your HeadKandy hair extensions. Style your natural hair and extensions together using a small barrelled tong. Run your fingers through the curls to loosen them and ruffle your hair a little for a ‘boho’ effect. If you prefer an updo then a bouffant looks great with a Zombie Bride costume!! Using hair extensions will give you uber thickness and volume so your spooky style still has a touch of glamour!! Leave a few strands of hair loose for a more ruffled style!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1319036372 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1319036372&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1319036372 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 08:04:53 -0700 Pink hair is becoming the must have shade at the moment and by using pink hair extensions you can embrace this hot new trend! Pink hair extensions can be used in many ways, whether you want to add highlights, try out the dip dye look or if you’re brave enough to go for the full head!! Finding the correct shade of pink hair extensions can be a little tricky as many of these tend to be either very bright or very pale and this can leave you with no inbetween options. To make the look more versatile it’s best to choose a pale blonde shade such as Bunny Blonde or Paparazzi Highlights as these can be dyed to create your very own shade of pink hair extensions. Be sure to conduct a strand test before dying all of your extensions, this will let you gauge how long the dye will need to be left on for your desired pink shade. Always follow the dye manufacturers instructions and the HK Care Guide closely! Many celebs have tried out the pink look, Katy Perry most recently went from her trademark dark locks to a gorgeous dusky pink shade. Nicki Minaj had a bright shade of pink for her album cover ‘Pink Friday’ and Cher Lloyd tried out the dip dyed look over the summer and added pink to the very tips to change her ombre look. There is certainly versatility and popularity with pink hair extensions and the pink hair trend … and with many new celebs emerging with pink locks we don’t think the trend will be disappearing anytime soon! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1318942916 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1318942916&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1318942916 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 06:01:56 -0700 When looking for affordable hair extensions, it’s really important not to scrimp on quality!! &nbsp;If you want longer, thicker and fuller hair you don’t necessarily have to opt for permanent hair extensions … clip ins are a great solution. Clip ins can allow you to have affordable hair extensions and still achieve a natural look! Clip ins are generally far more affordable than glue ins, sewn in extensions and micro loops … and they’re less damaging too so it’s a double win!! Remy human hair is the best quality option for your clip ins and although human hair will be more expensive than synthetic, with the right care you’ll get more from your human hair extensions!! &nbsp;Looking at the cost per gram for hair extensions is a great way to check the value of what you’re getting … and you’ll soon see that human hair clip ins can still be affordable hair extensions! When searching for your affordable hair extensions don’t be duped by advertising! Look more into the details of the product so you know exactly what you’re getting … a 10 piece head set could contain 10 thick wefts or it could be made up of 10 thin, one clip individual wefts... and although the thinner set will undoubtedly be cheaper it may be worse value for money and you may well end up with a ‘ratty’ look!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1318523313 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1318523313&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1318523313 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 09:28:33 -0700 The X Factor hair styles were turned up a notch for the start of the live shows last weekend. Not only are the judges feeling the pressure in the style stakes, but the contestants are all keen to show off their individual style and stand out from the crowd. The X Factor hair styles were fab for the first live shows and we loved some of the shocking changes that some of the contestants had undergone during this experience. We loved Tulisa’s hair with her mermaid style waves and her uber long locks falling to her waist. Tulisa’s hair looked gorgeous for her 2011 UK X Factor Live Show debut. It appears that the star has had a few more blonde highlights added throughout her hair to blend in with the blonder section at the roots. Shade Iced Coffee is the perfect match for Tulisa’s hair and a 24-26” full head set will help to achieve the length that she had for the live shows. We loved the transformation of Sophie Habibis’ hair. Before the live shows her look was very natural, she wore her hair tied up and it didn’t look as though her hair had been dyed! Sophie Habibis’ hair has now been dyed a gorgeous deep brown shade and she has had a heavy fringe/bang cut in to enhance and really bring out her eyes. We were shocked to see a dramatic change to Sophie’s hair, but we think the cut and colour look amazing on her. Another of our favourites is Janet Devlin - we loved her bedhead style at the earlier auditions, but can’t believe the difference her new shade makes to the style. Janet’s hair has been dyed a vibrant Spiced Auburn shade. This perfect autumnal tone has added depth ... and a little more styling has added definition to her curls. A full head set in 20-22” would give around the same length as Janet Devlin’s hair, but she has loads of volume so you may find that an extra quad weft added to the set will help re-create her big hairstyle further. Not wanting to be left out of the headlines, Kitty decided to change her hair dramatically between Saturday and Sunday’s shows! At the X Factor house preparing for the Sunday result’s show, Kitty was seen with much longer hair and the different shade certainly made an impact. We love the turquoise shade, but we’re not sure if it suits Kitty all over. We weren’t shocked to discover that Kitty had been wearing a wig as her hair returned to her Paparazzi Blonde shade just a few hours later! We know that Kitty will want to stay in the public eye so we are intrigued to see what she will do next!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1318424566 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1318424566&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1318424566 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 06:02:46 -0700 Tyra Bank’s hair is known for its constant changes … &nbsp;from short to long and from dark to blonde … with a few crazier styles thrown into the mix!! We love that Tyra isn’t scared to try things out and she always seems to carry off each style looking fiercely beautiful! America’s Next Top Model has made a welcome return the the UK screens just a week after Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model announced Jade as the winner. The US show always seems to have tons more attitude and personality compared to the UK version and here at Headkandy we think Tyra is the reason behind this! Tyra Bank’s hair always tends to adopt a different style for each new cycle and she hasn’t disappointed us with her new ‘do. Tyra Bank’s hair has been chopped into a shoulder length long bob with lots of layers! To finish the look and frame her face, Tyra now has a straight cut, full fringe/bang. We have seen Tyra Bank’s hair blow dried with lots of volume with the ends of her hair styled to compliment the shape of her face. She has also been wearing her hair naturally wavy which looked gorgeous with the added layers in her hair. This style is the perfect length for a Headkandy 12-14” full head set! To achieve the layered look that Tyra Bank’s hair has you can ask your stylist to trim and layer your extensions for you. <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1317981983 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1317981983&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1317981983 Fri, 07 Oct 2011 03:06:23 -0700 One piece hair extensions may be quick and easy to fit, but we just don’t understand why girls choose them over a full head set of clip in hair extensions!! HeadKandy’s full head sets are designed so that the hair is spread over 10 wefts that sit in different places on the head to create all over natural and glamorous length, volume and thickness, but with one piece hair extensions all the hair is placed on just one weft meaning that you don’t get even coverage for the most natural look possible! It can be difficult to hide the disconnection between your short layers and the extensions with one piece hair extensions … and very often the one piece hair extension doesn’t reach right around to the front of the head so they don’t blend well with your front layers. Blending is key for a natural looking finish … unless of course you want the ‘fake’ look... personally we’re not fans! Having all the hair positioned on the one piece hair extensions can also be a little uncomfortable! They can be heavy and this can put pressure on the clips making them more difficult to keep in place. Spreading the hair over 10 wefts makes hair extensions far easier and more comfortable to wear … and there’s not so much weight on the individual clips either!! So ladies, although one piece hair extensions may seem like a faster method of clip ins we would really urge you to go for a more natural look with a full head set!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1317898781 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1317898781&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1317898781 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 03:59:41 -0700 The hairstyles of the Made In Chelsea girls are always amazingly well groomed. Even when the girls are relaxing their hairstyles are perfect with not a single hair out of place! The new series of Made In Chelsea began a few weeks ago and already we are all engrossed in the gossip and goings on in the lives of these high society 20 somethings!! The hairstyles of the Made in Chelsea girls are surely going to keep us intrigued as this series is just starting to hot up. Caggie Dunlop’s Hair Whether worn waved or straight Caggie Dunlop’s hair always has tons of movement and volume. Her blonde locks are perfectly on trend with all the extra volume. Her hair is amazingly thick and always looks really glossy and healthy, enough to make every girl envious!. A quad weft is perfect for adding extra volume to your own hair to re create Caggie’s look. Mille Mackintosh’s Hair Millie Mackintosh’s hair is a gorgeous warm caramel shade at the moment … loosing the blonde highlights she had for last season. This new shade really suits her skin tone and is perfect for autumn! Millie’s hair is a little shorter than the rest of the girls and sits just below her shoulders. Millie’s hairstyles vary from very classy updo’s and glamorous down hairstyles. She tends to keep her hair a little more straight towards the roots and keeps her waves to the very ends of her hair. A 12-14” full head set will create a similar length to Millie’s hair and medium barrelled tongs will help create the look she has in this photo :) Alexandra ‘Binky’ Felstead Hair Binky loves to experiment with different styles for her Made In Chelsea hair. We generally see Binky’s hair looking very different to the other girls … instead of choosing lots of downdo’s with lots of styling, Binky will generally pull her hair back into a ponytail or loose bun. Her long dark locks, similar to HeadKandy’s shade Organic, are gorgeously thick and she takes advantage of this to create some interesting styles!! Francesca Hull Hair Cheska’s Made In Chelsea hair is always a little more ‘bedhead’. She tends to go for the more natural/ boho inspired look! Cheska’s long blonde hair always appears to be less groomed and she uses accessories to enhance her look. She can be seen below at a film premiere with a pretty ring of rose buds to her natural (not straight, not curled hair) - &nbsp;this only enhances the natural feel of her hairstyle!! Gabriella Ellis’ Hair Gabriella Ellis’ hair is gorgeous. For the return of the second series she has enhanced her gorgeously long dark hair by dip dying the ends to create an Ombre look. This style is very popular at the moment and we have seen many celebs choosing this bang on trend look! We think Gabriella’s hair looks gorgeous in this style; she has chosen the perfect gradient of shades. The top section of Gabriella’s hair would be close to shade Organic and the ends of her hair are more like shade Espresso. Choosing a shade or 2 lighter than the shade of your roots gives a great subtle Ombre look like Gabriella’s hair. <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1317814332 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1317814332&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1317814332 Wed, 05 Oct 2011 04:34:01 -0700 The Only Way Is Essex Hairstyles are always super glamorous and preened to perfection and now the guys and girls are back on our screens with a new series of TOWIE … we couldn’t resist taking a look at the top hairstyles from series past and present!! Amy Childs Hair Amy may not be back in the new series, but we couldn’t do a TOWIE blog without mentioning Amy Childs hair!! Amy’s hair is a gorgeous, autumnal red shade. It always looks super glossy and glam!! We love Amy Childs hair when it’s worn loose with some natural curls at the ends of the hair for extra body or when worn straight with a natural wave … this look is great with her side fringe!! Lauren Goodger’s Hair Lauren Goodger’s hair is a gorgeous BRonde shade!! Her hair looks best worn long with loose waves and curls, but we do love when she experiments with updo’s for her TOWIE hairstyles! We loved this updo on Lauren! To re-create Lauren Goodger’s hair style you need to first fit your hair extensions and then curl them in with your natural hair using a small barrelled tong (this will give the impression of tighter curls). Next, loosely pull back the sides and top of your hair, secure the side sections at the back of your head and style the top section (where there are no extensions fitted) into a quiff - the key is lots of backcombing at the roots of your own hair, apply a little hairspray to the roots to keep the volume! Secure the top section at the back of your head with a clip! Sam Faiers Hair Sam Faiers has experimented with different hair shades, but we’re most used to seeing her with a sandy blonde shade - we love this colour on her!! Sam Faiers hair is often worn long and loose with a slight side parting and natural curls through the ends of her hair. A 16-18” or a 20-22” full head set in Manhattan Highlights would be great for re-creating Sam’s style!! Fit your extensions and then add large curls using a large barrelled curling iron! Gently run your fingers through the curls to loosen them slightly for a softer finish! Chloe Sims Hair Chloe Sims hair is a dark brown shade similar to HeadKandy’s Organic shade and her hair always looks gorgeously thick, full and healthy!! Keeping in with The Only Way Is Essex hairstyles, Chloe wears her hair long with loose waves and a slight side parting with no fringe. Her hair looks great when she pulls back small sections of her hair and pins them behind her head. We loved Chloe Sims hair from the TV Choice Awards. Her long locks were pulled into a high bun which looked gorgeous with her purple sequined dress! Lydia Rose Bright We love the light blonde shade of Lydia’s hair, it works so well with her skin tone and eye colour and Lydia’s hair looks gorgeous when styled into an updo! Lydia’s hair appeared a little darker than usual at the TV Choice Awards earlier this month. She had embraced the vintage twist trend which has been spotted on the catwalks and is expected to be big for the autumn!! Lydia’s hair had a real 40’s vibe and it was great to see her embracing this trend!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1317390719 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1317390719&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1317390719 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 06:55:59 -0700 Fall hair trends for 2011 have been emerging since NY and London Fashion Week. These trends are always more extreme on the catwalk, but are often trends that can be made stylish and wearable for everyday life.&nbsp; Here are a few of our main contenders for the 2011 fall hair trends! The Ponytail This simple style has been growing in popularity over the last few weeks especially after the Marc Jacob’s models were all seen with super high ponytails on the NY catwalk. This fall hair trend requires you to wear your ponytail up high on the crown of your head and the longer your hair is the better! Headkandy hair extensions are perfect for giving this look added length and volume!! Be sure to fit your extensions close to the centre of your head and fit them so that they flow in the same way as your hair will when tied up. Another clever twist on this girly style is to wrap a section of hair around the base of your ponytail to cover up your elastic. The Half Up Braid/Plait This fall hair trend is such a super cute and girly style and it’s great to see the summer braid/plait trend being modified ready for the fall/autumn season. &nbsp; Tulisa's hair was styled in this way in the most recent bootcamp stages of X Factor UK. Her braid was a fishtail style and was wrapped from each side before overlapping and being pinned into place. The great thing with this Fall hair trend is the variety of the styles! You can choose from … french, waterfall, fishtail and normal plaits/braid … and besides the variety of braid you can also wear your hair down and customise it by adding braids/plaits! Centre Parting We have seen many celebrities lately changing their side sweeping fringes for full on bangs and with this has come the return of the centre parting. This fall hair trend is so easy to achieve and you don’t have to cut in a fringe to pull of this look. The centre parting looks amazing with or without a fringe or with super long locks and gives your hair a real 70’s vibe ... a Headkndy 24-26” full head set is perfect for those extra inches. Be sure to fit your extensions before styling, whether you’re adding waves or choosing a super sleek and straight ‘do this will create a more seamless finish. Vintage Twists Vintage twists are reinvented versions of the 40’s victory rolls. This fall hair trend is already popular with many celebs - think Kelly Osbourne, Gwen Stefani and Tulisa - these ladies have all been seen wearing vintage twists! This fall hair trend is great as you can make your twists as subtle or as ‘statement’ as you like! Tulisa opted for a one side roll of hair this week for the X factor UK bootcamp and the style looked effortlessly glam and showed off her highlights through the top of her hair. To make more of a statement with this style you could go more down the lines of Gwen Stefani and choose to make a roll with the front section of your hair and create a huge quiff! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1317313915 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1317313915&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1317313915 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 01:58:59 -0700 The celeb’s were out in force at LFW this week to watch the latest collections from the likes of Mulberry, Julien McDonald and&nbsp; Vivienne Westwood, but the real style wars were to be seen on the side of the runways!! The celebrity hair styles and their choice of clothes determined their fate on the best or worst dressed lists. We decided to take a look from HeadKandy HQ at our favourites from the weeks shows and parties! Cheryl Cole turned up to just one event in the Stylistpick.com shoe launch party! She was wearing a gorgeous deep red draped dress, but it was her choice of hair style that got everyone talking. Cheryl Cole’s hair was styled into a large beehive and her style was finished with a nude hair band. This is such a change for Cheryl Cole’s hair as we are used to seeing her hair worn down ... but we think she rocked her beehive and it was a change from the rest of the celebs with their downdo’s!! Another of our fave’s from this party was fellow Girls Aloud member, Nicola Roberts. She wore a gorgeously girly sage green dress adorned with pink and lilac flowers. Her strawberry blonde ombre curls were simply stunning!! Her curls had lots of root lift for extra movement and were very defined, very large and bouncy ... &nbsp;she looked gorgeous! At the Nicole Fahri show we loved Marina Diamandis (Marina and the Diamonds) individual style. Looking as though she had just stepped of the Grease set, her cute 50’s pink ensemble looked fabulous! We loved her new silver hair too!&nbsp; Marina Diamandis’ hair was curled using medium tongs and was then pulled into a side ponytail leaving her shorter layers loose, only adding to the cuteness of her look!! Cher Lloyd made an appearance at the Rimmel party wearing an awesome pair of heels and a matching brightly coloured necklace. Her ripped skinny jeans and leather jacket gave her a real rocky edge!! Cher Lloyd’s hair has been brunette for a while now but looked super glossy for LFW! Cher Lloyd’s hair was styled into tight defined curls all pulled to one side, showing off her shaved head. This look is becoming a trademark for Cher, but when it looks as good on her as it does we don’t blame her for recycling the style! Whitney Port was a surprise guest at Fearne Cotton’s runway show for her collection for Very. It’s been reported that Whitney Port will be having her own range in the catalogue very soon which would explain the arrival for Fearne Cotton’s show. Whitney made a huge statement wearing 70’s style extra wide leg white trousers, a multi-coloured jumper and huge wedges. Whitney Port’s hair looked stunning in boho style waves with a bang on trend centre parting. We loved the warm shade of Whitney Port’s hair, it’s a great change from the super blonde we are used to seeing her with! Fearne Cotton also looked gorgeous in a long lilac chiffon dress with leopard print shoes peeking out from underneath. Her short bob was waved creating a 30’s flapper feel which suited the style of her dress perfectly. <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1316789578 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1316789578&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1316789578 Fri, 23 Sep 2011 07:55:59 -0700 24 inch hair extensions can be used to add uber length to your own hair! Think of the Disney Princesses and their glamorous, flowing locks … this is the look that 24 inch hair extensions create!! Super long hair can be great for working lots of different styles and 24 inch hair extensions will give you not only the extra length, but gorgeous thickness and volume to work your look! A HeadKandy full head in 24-26” looks great worn in natural waves or in big, bold curls, but we also love this length worn straight for a super sleek finish! 24 inch hair extensions can also add incredible length to plaits and braids for a statement style that’s bang on trend!! Mermaid length hair isn’t for everyone though and 24 inch hair extensions can be a bit too much for some so we really recommend measuring downwards from the top of your ear to double check where these extensions would fall on you to see whether you would be comfortable with the uber length! Our own hair requires more care and attention the longer it gets and the same applies to 24 inch hair extensions! Follow our care guide closely for tips on caring for your extensions to help keep your mermaid lengths looking gorgeous!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1316707647 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1316707647&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1316707647 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 09:07:27 -0700 Ponytail hair extensions are great for adding gorgeous volume and thickness to one of this season’s hottest hair trends! The ponytail is a super girly style and has already been spotted on the catwalks this year - it’s going to be a huge hairstyle for the 2011 Autumn season and ponytail hair extensions will glam up your pony so that you’re bang on trend. HeadKandy hair extensions can be used for extra oomph in your ponytail … fit a few of your wefts before styling your hair into a ponytail for a more voluminous finish! The bigger the ponytail the better! Ponytail hair extensions can add sensual, mermaid length to your everyday style so that you stand out from the crowd. A HeadKandy full head set in 20-22” or 24-26” would be great for uber lengths in your ponytail! Fit your clip in hair extensions a little lower before styling your hair to ensure they are well disguised! Wear your ponytail low and tousled for a more carefree, boho feel or wear it sleek and sky-scraper high for a catwalk statement finish! For high ponytails, it can be helpful to wear your clip ins flipped the opposite way so that they follow the direction of your hair when it is tied up. Wrap a small section of your hair around the elastic holding your ponytail for a more glamorous finish! The ponytail looks amazing worn high or low or worn with or without a fringe, but add your ponytail hair extensions so that you’re making a real on-trend statement with this style!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1316082746 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1316082746&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1316082746 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 11:32:32 -0800 We’re super excited at HeadKandy HQ as a prequel series of Sex and the City has just been announced! The Carrie Diaries by author Candace Bushnell follows the high school life of Carrie Bradshaw and this is reportedly being made into a sequel for the small screen by American teen network CW! This exciting news has got us reflecting back on the SATC phenomenon and the fabulous Carrie Bradshaw hairstyles throughout the six seasons! Season one saw Carrie Bradshaw’s hair as a curly mane of golden locks! Her carefree curls are an iconic Sex and the City hairstyle and Carrie will always be remembered for this look! Carrie Bradshaw’s hairstyle from the first season would actually be bang on-trend at the moment as celebs are embracing bigger and more voluminous tresses!! The look is all about root lift, thickness and volume! Wear your clip in extensions big and bold! Carrie Bradshaw’s hair was a little tamer in the second season of Sex and the City. Her locks were worn longer and the curls had dropped some! A large barrelled tong would be the better option for re-creating Carrie’s curls! Carrie also embraced the super straight Sex and the City hairstyle in this series which gave her a more sophisticated look … (although we do love the wild waves a little more!!) For Season three, Carrie Bradshaw’s hair took on a slightly darker shade which made her look a little more grown up! She also embraced updo’s by wearing her curly locks in a high bun! Season four saw Carrie Bradshaw’s hair a lot shorter as she chopped her trademark long locks into a wavy bob as she began to write for Vogue. This Carrie Bradshaw hairstyle is a hot look for next season as the waved bob looks set to make a comeback for Autumn 2011! A large barrelled tong and a 12-14” full head set would be ideal for re-creating these sultry curls! Carrie Bradshaw’s hairstyle was still growing out for season five and she worked her short hair into very Olivia Newton John style curls. We’re not a big fan of this look on Carrie, although it added gorgeous volume to her bob, we prefer her hair to be long and flowing! For the beginning of season six we see Carrie Bradshaw’s hair a little longer, but still in a bob style. She wears her bob straight with slight movement at the ends of her hair. This was a super girly look for Carrie and it worked really well for her! A 12-14” full head set would be perfect for re-creating this iconic Sex and the City hairstyle … add a slight flick at the ends of your hair and extensions with your flat irons for a little more movement! Carrie’s hair was back to its longer lengths for the end of the final season, but with a darker twist. Carrie’s darker locks still had subtle blonde highlights and this new look gave her a gorgeously sophisticated edge for her Paris scenes! We love Carrie Bradshaw’s hair blonde, but her darker look is also a favourite of ours!! Carrie Bradshaw’s hair has ceratinly undergone some changes throughout the six seasons of Sex and the City and we can’t wait to see her high school hair for The Carrie Diaries … we imagine it will be even wilder than her untamed curls in season one!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1316009246 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1316009246&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1316009246 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 07:08:25 -0700 There has been much speculation about Leona Lewis and a possible breast enlargement and nose job in the last few months. The British singing sensation went to LA after the success of her first album and many people have speculated that this is when she has had the surgeries in order to make a comeback with her much anticipated tricky second album. Whether she has or hasn’t had work done, she still looks great and at HeadKandy HQ we can’t stop admiring Leona Lewis' hair!! Leona was seen promoting her latest single earlier this month and she looked simply stunning! &nbsp;Leona Lewis’ hair looked gorgeous as she was first spotted at Capitol Radio - her hair was left loose with a bang on trend centre parting, her waves looked very natural and soft! She continued this on-trend look on the red carpet for the GQ Men of the Year awards. Leona wore an off-white, fringed dress by Lucy In Disguise … the star looked gorgeous! This time her loose waves had been pulled to the one side and tumbled over her shoulder. The dark brunette shade of Leona Lewis’ hair made her look gorgeously exotic in contrast to her bright red lipstick and pale dress!! Leona followed another of this seasons big trends whilst performing at G A Y in London the weekend before last. Leona appeared on stage in a very fitted, figure hugging pencil dress with a sequin heart motif on the front, she looked elegant and very sexy. Leona Lewis’ hair for the performance was pulled into a very high ponytail and she had a section of her hair wrapped around the base to cover up any elastic holding the ponytail … she followed in the footsteps of Marc Jacobs at NY Fashion Week who showcased many models with this hairstyle for his fall collection! Leona’s hair was left natural with no defined curls yet it wasn’t super straight either. We love this look and it’s perfect as a daytime look or for a more glam style you can add a sparkly accessory or just pull the hair in a little tighter!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1315917011 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1315917011&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1315917011 Tue, 13 Sep 2011 05:39:48 -0700 This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby is back in work this week from maternity leave after the birth of baby no2. You'd never think that the beautiful Holly had recently given birth, she looks as fantastic as ever! Her flawless curvaceous figure shows no sign of ever being with child. Holly's comeback on This Morning brought with it a knockout new look consisting of an outstanding post baby figure and uber blonde hair. The yummy Mummy has gone a good few shades lighter giving her an ultra sexy, classic look. Holly pulls this off beautifully and with the platinum tones and sultry curves she looks like a modern day Marilyn. Here at HK, we're absolutely loving it! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1315314688 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1315314688&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1315314688 Tue, 06 Sep 2011 06:16:51 -0700 Tinsel hair extensions haven’t yet taken off in the way feather hair extensions did, but they are slowly emerging as yet another trend in hair modification. Beyonce was spotted wearing tinsel hair extensions at the Grammy’s and Jennifer Love Hewitt has also embraced the tinsel hair extensions trend by adding some sparkle to her own locks. Tinsel hair extensions are sparkling strands that can be put into the hair to add shimmer and dimension to your style. As with feather hair extensions, they’re available in a variety of shades, but we tend to think that the more subtle shades are the best - Beyonce’s subtle gold tinsel hair extensions worked really well for her and blended beautifully with her blonde hair! Tinsel hair extensions are great fun and they do look really cute and girly, but we’re not sure they’ll be an all year round trend … definitely something to watch out for during the festive season though!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1314882065 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1314882065&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1314882065 Thu, 01 Sep 2011 06:01:05 -0700 Celebrity hair styles at the MTV VMA Awards really wowed us this year! We were super excited to see the celebs out in force for the VMA’s with celebrity hair styles ranging from gorgeous to downright bizarre!! Beyonce was the talk of the ceremony as she announced her pregnancy and showcased her baby bump during her performance of Love On Top. Beyonce’s hair looked gorgeous, making her every inch the yummy mummy!! Beyonce’s hair was left loose and in voluminous curls for her performance and for her red carpet hair style, she wore her locks in a side ponytail with extra volume in her sweeping fringe - this style worked really well with Beyonce’s one shoulder burnt orange maxi dress … she looked stunning! Britney’s Spears’ hair also got a thumb’s up from us for her appearance on the VMA’s - her hair was looking longer, fuller and more importantly healthier than we’ve seen it looking in the past. We’re glad to see Britney looking more like a pop Princess again with her long locks!! Adele embraced the celebrity big hair trend for her VMA appearance. Adele’s hair was worn big and bold with lots and lots of root lift!! You’ll need an additional quad or two at the crown of your head to achieve this lift. Try backcombing the roots of your natural hair or using a root crimper on them for an extra volume boost! The ends of Adele’s hair were styled in large curls that complimented her hair style well. Celebrity hair styles for the VMA’s seemed to be all about the colour … the brighter the better!! Katy Perry’s pink hair looked gorgeous at the 2011 Video Music Awards! She wore a beautiful Japanese-style outfit which looked super cute with her bubblegum pink hair! We’re big fans of Katy Perry’s hair and we hope the pink is here to stay for a little while!! Nicki Minaj pulled out all the stops for her outfit and her celebrity hair style! Nicki Minaj’s hair and style are always unique, but this time she really outdid herself as she wore possibly the most talked about outfit on the show! The star appeared as her Harajuku Barbie alter ego - her outfit was complete with a shiny purple bodice, a pink tutu, cartoon style long socks, leg warmers and slippers and a face mask … her accessories included a stuffed toy and an over-sized ice cream necklace! Nicki Minaj’s coloured hair was blonde, pink and yellow for the VMA’s; her hair was styled into a knotted beehive that was completely bizarre and over the top … but we LOVED it!! Nicki Minaj’s hair is always fun and we love her individual style!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1314805738 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1314805738&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1314805738 Thu, 01 Sep 2011 09:04:41 -0700 Human hair extensions are the best quality and type of extensions you can choose. Opting for clip in hair extensions is also the least damaging way of adding extra inches or oomph to your own hair!! Human hair extensions are great for adding length, volume and thickness as they act just like your own hair. You can use heat tools on them, you can dye them, wash them and you can use them in up-do’s as well as down-do’s! Unlike our own hair though, human hair extensions don’t contain the natural supply of oils so they will require a little more care than your own hair and more importantly some TLC! Here at Headkandy we always recommend that you use a good quality heat protection product on your human hair extensions before styling … just as with our own hair, heat styling can also be damaging to hair extensions. It’s also best to avoid holding the tools on the extensions as long as you would with your own hair as the extensions will react to the heat quickly. Always read the labels on the products you use as those containing alcohol could dry out your human hair extensions. Human hair extensions can also be washed to remove a build up of product on them. This can reinvigorate your extensions and can give them a new lease of life, but be sure not to do this too soon. There is a myth that extensions need to be washed before you wear them, but this isn’t the case!! Human hair extensions can be fitted to wear as soon as you receive them. We only recommend that you wash your HeadKandy extensions every 6 weeks and then only if you really need to! The longer you can leave this the better as washing too often or using the wrong products can affect the quality of the hair. Always use a good quality moisturising shampoo and steer well clear of shampoos for coloured hair! For conditioner it’s usually best to choose a deep conditioning treatment/repair treatment. In the Headkandy Care Guide there are step by step instructions for washing and drying your human hair extensions, be sure to follow these closely! Human hair extensions can be dyed to match your hair if you are between shades or struggling to match your hair. If you can’t find an exact match then it is usually best to choose a shade a little lighter than what you think your hair is as HeadKandy hair extensions can be dyed up to 2 shades darker, but we don’t recommend lightening or bleaching them. You can add a toner or a toning shampoo to the extensions if they are the wrong tone for you. The most important thing to remember if you do plan to dye your human hair extensions is to conduct a strand test first and follow the HK care guide! Even if you are taking them to a salon to be dyed the strand test should be conducted!! Many stylists can offer help with dying your extensions if you are unsure of doing it yourself. Human hair extensions are perfect for adding extra volume to your up-do’s. The best tip for using your hair extensions this way is to fit them close to the base of your ‘do, this will ensure that the clips are cleverly hidden away by the hair itself ... you may find that you won’t need all the wefts for this! If you are wearing your hair down then always fit your human hair extensions before styling... this will ensure that your hair blends into the extensions for a gorgeous, flawless look. <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1314802918 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1314802918&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1314802918 Wed, 31 Aug 2011 08:05:31 -0700 Curly hair extensions can be easily achieved with a HeadKandy full head set and a Babyliss Pro Curling Iron! Curly hair extensions are a gorgeous look, but the perming process can be quite damaging to hair extensions and it doesn’t meet up to our high quality standards at HeadKandy. Curly hair extensions that have been permed don’t tend to last as long as hair extensions which have not been permed so we think it’s best to protect your clip ins and add glamorous curls yourself using a curling iron! Adding the curls yourself can also allow you to match them to your own hair better for a more flawless finish! For big and bold, voluminous curls we recommend the Babyliss Pro 38mm Curling Iron! This look is bang on trend at the moment and it’s super easy to achieve … the bigger the hair the better! Backcomb the roots of your own hair for super volume to keep in with the celebrity big hair trend! Fit your HeadKandy hair extensions next and curl them in with your natural hair for a more seamless look! Gently brush your hair and extensions through after styling if you want a looser, more natural finish. If you want tighter, more defined curly hair extensions then we would recommend the Babyliss Pro 24mm Curling Iron! Using a smoothing serum on your curls after styling will give them a super smooth and defined finish!! For more versatility with your curly hair extensions, the Babyliss Pro Conical Styling Wand is a great option!! Curly hair extensions work great as a day look and they can be fabulous for glamming up in the evening … and when you fancy a change from your curly hair extensions it’s really easy to just run your flat irons over them for a sleek and straight look! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1314352997 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1314352997&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1314352997 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 03:05:30 -0700 Wedding hair styles are one of our favourite things to talk about at HeadKandy and we’ve been super excited this week as the gorgeous Kim Kardashian tied the knot to Kris Humphries at a private home in California on Saturday. Kim Kardashian’s hair was pulled back into an elegant chignon for her wedding hair style; a simple yet glamorous look for the big day! The reality TV star wore a Lorraine Schwartz diamond encrusted headpiece which really made her wedding hair style stand out. Kim looked stunning in her ivory custom-made strapless Vera Wang gown which was teamed with a cream rose bouquet and the diamond encrusted headpiece and earrings - her attire worked perfectly with her choice of wedding hair style! We love Kim Kardashian’s hair when worn long and loose and it would have been nice to see more of her hair on the wedding day, but her elegant chignon was definitely a good choice! You can easily re-create Kim Kardashian’s wedding hair style for your own special event! Simply fit your HeadKandy hair extensions first and then gather your extensions and your own hair together in a low, loose ponytail at the nape of your neck and secure this with an elastic. Split your ponytail into two parts and twist both into a tight spiral. Start at the base of the ponytail and gently curl the twisted ponytail into a bun to make your chignon!! Secure your Chignon with hairpins to keep it firmly in place and your wedding hair style is ready to go! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1314271359 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1314271359&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1314271359 Thu, 25 Aug 2011 04:24:34 -0700 Rihanna’s hair certainly seems to have gone back to its roots! Debuting her new hair at V Festival over the weekend, Rhianna’s famous red locks were gone and a thing of the past! The singer looked stunning at the 2 day event last weekend as she performed both days in tiny outfits - showing off her amazing figure!! Rihanna’s hair is keeping in with the celebrity big hair trend of the last few months as it was styled with very 80’s inspired large, bouncy curls! On day one, Rihanna’s hair was just left loose, the curls defined and very voluminous! On the second day her curls were much more tousled with a messy bed head look! Rihanna had added 2 plaits/braids to pull the hair back from her face on the one side, again embracing another huge summer trend! The hues of Rihanna’s hair have returned to almost her natural shades. A rich dark brown shade has been complemented with very light brown highlights – creating a shade that we think suits her skin tone beautifully! We are always excited to see Rihanna’s hair and with events throughout the coming months we are very much looking forward to see whether this new shade is going to be staying :) <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1314273931 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1314273931&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1314273931 Thu, 25 Aug 2011 05:06:08 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} Both Tulisa’s hair and Kelly Rowland’s hair looked sensational for the 2011 X Factor press launch on Wednesday. Kelly Rowlands hair was worn in long flowing waves which cascaded down her back and complimented her figure hugging black and green dress beautifully - long locks really suit Kelly Rowland! A HeadKandy 20-22” or a 24-26” full head in Soho would be perfect for re-creating Kelly Rowlands hair style at the London press launch. Tulisa’s hair was equally gorgeous!! Her hair, which has had extra blonde highlights put through the fringe and front sections ready for the start of X factor, was swept elegantly over one shoulder and was styled in bold curls that worked really well with her tight-fitting detailed black dress!! A 20-22” full head set in Iced Coffee might be a good option for Tulisa’s hair!! Both ladies wowed the crowd with their red carpet hair and their figure hugging dress … and this was just for the press launch!! We’re looking forward to seeing the styling of both Kelly Rowland and Tulisa throughout the series and we really can’t wait for X Factor to kick off tomorrow!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1313751806 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1313751806&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1313751806 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 04:08:57 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0in; mso-para-margin-right:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0in; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;} Summer hair shades tend to be golden and sun kissed, whether you’re a blonde, brunette or a red head during the summer months your hair will look shimmery with warm tones brought out by the sun’s rays. Many of our Headkandy extensions are perfect for creating this summer hair look all year round! The addition of very subtle highlights to your own hair or using a toner can simply transform the shade to look as though you have just stepped off the beach or out of the sun!! Blondes California Highlights is the ultimate summer blonde shade!! This sandy, golden toned shade has very subtle bleach highlights creating gorgeous depth for your summer hair. Many Hollywood starlets have played with these sandy tones including Kristen Cavallari, Carrie Underwood and Reese Witherspoon. If you prefer a block shade for your summer hair then Malibu Blonde is perfect!! This is a multi-tonal light sandy shade that blends perfectly with block shades or even if you have a few highlights. Malibu blonde is a very natural blonde shade, perfect if you have mousey hair that lightens up in the sun. Amanda Seyfried is very similar to this shade. &nbsp; Brunettes Iced Coffee is a great warm toned summer brunette shade. The addition of a few fine subtle highlights to the rich chocolate base adds definition whilst still achieving the sun kissed effect. Cheryl Cole's hair is notorious for this look, but many other celebs such as Miley Cyrus and Audrina Patridge have added some fine highlights to their natural dark hair. This summer look is so easy to create and easy to change if you fancy going back darker as the dark evenings of autumn set in!! &nbsp; Red Heads Being a natural red head might make you be a little anxious when the summer sunshine approaches, but in terms of summer hair, you can do no wrong!! Lightening up your natural tones can make natural red hair a gorgeous strawberry blonde shade. St Tropez is the perfect accompaniment for this look. Keeping the warm tones, this is a multi-tonal shade that looks stunning with a tan. To try out this shade you don’t have to be a natural red head – normally blonde, Whitney Port has recently been seen with a shade very similar to St Tropez, we think the shade suits her skin tone perfectly! Mary Kate Olsen is a fan of this shade all year round , proving that this summer hair shade can work well with paler skin too! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1313682838 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1313682838&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1313682838 Tue, 06 Sep 2011 06:13:05 -0700 Micro loop hair extensions are a popular form of hair extensions and while they are less harmful than some other forms of permanent hair extensions, they can still cause damage to the hair. Micro loop hair extensions are fitted by parting the hair and putting sections of your natural hair through the loop and then fastening it in place, as closely to the scalp as possible, with pliers. Tension can be caused on the hair once the micro loops are in place which can result in hair breakage. The micro loop hair extensions can sometimes slip out and they will also move with natural hair growth and need to be repositioned when necessary. Human hair micro loop hair extensions allow you to heat style, dye or wash the hair just as you would with other human hair extensions and just as with clip in hair extensions, you can match your natural shade with the micro loop hair extensions or you can use them to add highlights, lowlights or flashes of colour to your style! However, they can be notoriously difficult to remove if you need to adjust them or if you want to change your style so clip-ins are a much simpler solution! We think it’s important to take the best care of your hair and you can use clip-in extensions to add length, volume and thickness with less risk of damaging your natural locks with micro loop hair extensions!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1313590386 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1313590386&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1313590386 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 07:13:06 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} Tulisa Contostavlos’ hair really has been transformed by the X Factor - just like her wardrobe and styling has been revamped over the last few weeks. This weekend the launch of both the USA and UK X Factor television promos graced our screens, shortly followed by the press shots. Tulilsa’s press photo looks amazing but very Cheryl Cole- esque! Tulisa, pictured in a structured body con dress looks gorgeous but it’s a far cry away from her N-Dubz image. Gone are tracksuits and mismatched outfits, instead Tulisa wears classy dresses and on trend ensembles which we have loved watching during the audition processes. It seems for these final shots of the judges, before the live shows start, Tulisa’s hair and full transformation is complete. Tulisa’s hair before she started judging was bleached blonde, to start her days as a judge we saw Tulisa’s X factor hair change to a very dark shade, this looked great but perhaps not quite perfect. It was during the audition process when Tulisa’s hair stylist really started experimenting with fashion forward hair styles and trends, some of which looked gorgeous! We think this shot showcases the perfect style for Tulisa’s hair. &nbsp; Tulisa’s hair looks full, voluminous, glossy and healthy; the dark shade has been revamped with the addition of some subtle highlights which reflect her skin tones. Her hair has been lifted at the roots and the very ends of her hair have been waved creating movement and volume. A full head set will help create the volume and length of Tulisa’s hair. &nbsp; We can’t wait to see what happens to Tulisa’s hair in the live shows. Throughout the auditions she has shown that she isn’t afraid to try out new and interesting styles and we are eagerly awaiting her continued choices in the live shows. <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1313163084 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1313163084&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1313163084 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 08:54:06 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Pippa Middleton’s hair always looks super glamorous and she is really making a name for herself as a style icon … almost as much as Kate herself. It seems that being blessed with good hair runs in the Middleton family because Pippa Middleton’s hair appears naturally full and always looks groomed to perfection! Pippa Middleton’s hair is fairly easy to re-create if you want this natural glamour for yourself; her hair has long layers all over with slight texture and her fringe appears long and slightly textured, but not quite as long as her layers. Pippa’s hair at Kate and William’s wedding was simply stunning!! She opted for a favourite wedding hair style with a half-up and half-down ‘do! This is a perfect choice for a formal event; it looks super feminine and it’s easy to create! Pippa Middleton’s hair was styled into natural curls which complimented her style perfectly. Fit your HeadKandy hair extensions first and style them in with your own hair (add your curls now if you want a style like Pippa) then pin sections of your hair back to create your half-up half-down style … add a clip for extra glamour! Pippa Middleton is really starting to emerge into the public eye now and we can’t wait to see her different hair styles as she becomes more of a style icon!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1312546697 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1312546697&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1312546697 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 05:19:30 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Red carpet hair styles have been the thing to watch this month! July has proven to be a very busy month in the celeb calendar with multiple red carpet events and festivals to attend. We loved some of the red carpet hair styles July has had to offer and these are just a few of our favourites. BAFTA Brits to Watch The BAFTA Brits to Watch event in Los Angeles at the beginning of the month saw some amazing gowns on the red carpet. Prince William and Kate Middleton arrived at the event as the last stop on the Royals tour of Canada and California. &nbsp; Wearing an Alexander McQueen floor length gown, Kate looked breathtaking. The lilac chiffon floated as she glided down the red carpet… Kate certainly had no problem looking the part or fitting in with the best of Hollywood! Kate Middleton’s hair was left loose with soft, voluminous waves which seemed to move and flow very naturally. Her wardrobe and hair styles have been the talking point of this tour and Kate hasn’t put a foot wrong. Another star who had an amazing red carpet hairstyle and look at this event was Blake Lively. Blake also chose a floor length gown; she wore a Marchesa dress which was encrusted with crystals and beads and had a one shoulder detail. Blake Lively’s hair had been tousled and pinned in a messy bun. Accompanied by a French plait/braid detail to the side, the bun was made up with a few plaits and the rest of her tousled locks. It looked very girly and summery for the evening event and it was great to see an updo! &nbsp; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 premiere The Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 premiere was the place to be seen this month! Having 2 premieres, one in London and the other in New York, the stars of the films and many other celebs showed up in anticipation of seeing the epic story come to an end!! First on the red carpet at the London premiere were the 3 main stars, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson. Emma Watson wore very subtle make-up and a huge Oscar de la Renta tiered dress, her short cropped hair was left soft but with a little root lift - she looked very ethereal and utterly amazing. Bonnie Wright, who plays Ginny Weasley in the films, always looks fabulous at red carpet events. Choosing a floor length peach MiuM iu outfit, she was bang on trend! Her long auburn hair always looks elegant and natural and Bonnie Wright’s red carpet hair was left loose and natural, not straight but not overly styled in a half up half down style. The top section of her hair was secured at the back of the head - a great way of changing your hair without too much effort!! &nbsp; Party in the Park The end of the month saw many celebs heading off to summer festivals. Party in the Park in Leeds was filled with amazing pop acts performing on the main stage including JLS and Jessie J. Cher Lloyd was one of the featured acts promoting her debut single 'Swagger Jagger'. Cher has been seen performing at a few of the festivals over the summer, the last time we saw Cher Lloyd at T4 on the beach she had shaved one side of her head and added some bright pink dip dye to her lengths. Appearing on stage for Party in the Park in leather studded hot pants and a red cropped jacket, the star had returned to her natural brunette shade. Cher Lloyds hair looked glossy and healthy and was styled in large waves that had all been pulled to the side. Pixie Lott was also seen performing at the festival after some time out of the lime light. Pixie Lott’s hair always looks amazing and we think this look is a perfect festival hairstyle. Her blonde locks were left loose and styled in large waves with the front section of each side pinned back to give a festival boho feel to the look! Glee Acadamy event in The Music Box &amp; Fonda Theater Heather Morris, who plays Brittany in the hit show Glee, looked gorgeous at the Glee Acadamy event in The Music Box &amp; Fonda Theater in Los Angeles at the end of the month. Matching her structured body con dress with a high ponytail, we think Heather’s red carpet hair looked amazing!! We loved the added wrap around section at the base which hides any elastics holding the hair! &nbsp; July has been a great month in the celeb world for events to be seen at and there have been some great red carpet hair styles to look out for! We loved that Heather Morris tried something different with her red carpet hair, the look really worked for her. We also love Blake’s messy bun at the BAFTA Brits to Watch and we think this can look great for a summer daytime look as well as an elegant evening updo!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1312543820 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1312543820&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1312543820 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 04:33:29 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Wedding hair styles are a hot topic at HeadKandy again this week after Zara Phillps married rugby star Mike Tindall in Scotland last Saturday. Zara Phillips wedding hair was simple yet glamorous! Zara wore her blonde locks sleeked back into an elegant chignon on the back of her neck. She finished her wedding hair style with her mother’s Greek tiara and a full white veil – it was a gorgeous style that worked really well for her! Zara’s ivory silk wedding dress, by Stewart Parvin, was equally gorgeous!! The Duchess of Cambridge was one of the wedding guests we were keen to keep an eye out for… she looked stunning! Kate Middleton’s hair was left loose with a natural wave, she had a small section of hair pinned to the back of her head which looked lovely with her floral wedding hat. We weren’t quite as keen on Princess Eugenie or Princess Beatrice’s choice of wedding hair styles or hats (which were just a little over the top!) … but you’ve got to give it to these girls … they never look dull at public events! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1312369530 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1312369530&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1312369530 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 04:05:30 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Feather hair extensions are everywhere at the moment with celebs like Hillary Duff, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Selena Gomez embracing the trend! Singer Ke$ha launched feather hair extensions into the public eye in 2010 as she embraced them as part of her unique style and since then the trend has really taken off!! Even aging Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler has dabbled with feather hair extensions for his rock star image (though we’re really not sure how rock’n’roll he looks with these!!) Feather hair extensions are super girly and they can be a fun way of customising your style. You can opt for brightly coloured feather hair extensions or more natural feathers that blend with your base shade. Personally, we prefer the more natural feather hair extensions, but the brightly coloured ones are great for a flash of vibrancy! If you’re not a fan of the feather hair extension trend then you can still add flashes of colour or change your style with HeadKandy’s standard weft extensions – use them as highlights, lowlights or for vibrant streaks to make a statement! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1312287434 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1312287434&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1312287434 Tue, 02 Aug 2011 05:18:45 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Kate Middleton's hair is the epitome of glamour and the Duchess of Cambridge herself is the pinnacle of class and elegance … so naturally many women are keen to emulate Kate’s natural look.&nbsp; Kate Middleton’s hair is effortlessly beautiful and yet it always appears so perfect!&nbsp; The key to achieving this look is to allow movement … don’t be too specific on the parting or the structure of the hair. The beautiful finish of Kate Middleton’s hair is down to a good haircut of delicate layers and a good blow dry, finished with a touch of serum. When clipping in HeadKandy hair extensions for this specific look, be sure not to clip them too high as you can’t be sure to conceal the wefts if the look is to have the movement required.&nbsp; Now you’re free to flirtatiously run your fingers through the hair, flicking it from side to side, letting the parting fall naturally. Deceptively effortless, this is truly the perfect look for a real lady. <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1311957466 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1311957466&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1311957466 Tue, 02 Aug 2011 05:26:24 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Katy Perry’s blonde hair has had everyone talking after its debut on MTV over the weekend!! This isn’t a completely new look for the star as old videos have shown Katy to be a natural blonde, but Katy Perry’s blonde hair has really set the rumour mill turning … some have suggested the change and return to her natural shade is to start a family, but judging by her vast wig collection and numerous shade changes previously, we think Katy Perry is just like every other girl and she just fancied a change!! Katy Perry’s hair is enough to make every girl out there jealous as it seems to look amazing even when it’s gone wrong! While out promoting her perfume at the beginning of the month, Katy Perry’s hair was very copper toned and her Tweets after these shots made the press suggested that this wasn’t her goal shade! Breaking from her usual long black tresses, the star still looked stunning with this auburn shade … even if she called it an ‘epic fail!’ Mere weeks after these photos, Katy Perry’s hair has changed again! She showed off her strawberry blonde locks in a sparkling Smurfette dress at the Smurfs 3D premiere in New York – she looked gorgeous (and we LOVED the dress!!). Katy Perry’s Tweets have suggested she is aiming for a secret hair shade, but many people have been debating whether this strawberry blonde look is in fact her secret shade! We’re not sure if she has finished her dying process yet though as the ends of her hair are still looking a shade or two darker than her roots. What we do know is that whichever shade Katy Perry chooses she will look gorgeous … we just can’t wait to see the end result for Katy Perry’s hair!!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1311684447 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1311684447&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1311684447 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 05:47:27 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Thick hair extensions are the ultimate way to achieve glamorous body and volume; thick hair extensions allow you to add the thickness that God didn’t give you without looking fake! Big hair exudes youth and glamour and it’s a style that is huge this season! To achieve this look it’s essential to have a higher density and thickness of hair and HeadKandy’s gorgeously thick hair extensions can give you ultra thick and healthy looking hair that will allow you to work your style and embrace the big hair trend! Elle Macpherson’s hair always looks gorgeously thick and glamorous and we just love the super voluminous look that Cheryl Cole’s hair always has! These ladies have embraced the big hair trend; they wear their voluptuous locks big and bold!! Fit your thick hair extensions and curl the whole of your full head set in with your natural hair … brush the curls out for a full bodied finish! If you’re not a fan of the big hair trend, but you want to hide your short layers then thick hair extensions can be the perfect solution. HeadKandy hair extensions are renowned for being thick from top to bottom so you won’t be left with thin ends that look ratty and cheap! A full head of thick hair extensions can add longer, denser layers to transform your style!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1311346394 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1311346394&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1311346394 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 07:53:14 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Vintage hairstyles are growing in popularity! With the continued success of TV shows such as Mad Men and Boardwalk Empire, vintage hair styles from all era’s are having a revival and new variations on the popular styles are emerging. &nbsp; Dita Von Teese is a veteran in these vintage hairstyles, but more and more celebs are giving this look a try. A vintage hair style that has been seen on many celebs is the 40’s classic victory rolls. We love this style at Headkandy as we think it’s a great alternative to simply wearing your hair down … and with very little effort you can look like a vintage icon!! Nicole Scherzinger was seen sporting top reverse rolls for her appearance on X Factor UK late last year and more recently Rihanna has been seen performing with side reverse rolls. This vintage hair style is so iconic to the 40’s that it’s great to see a new take on the style. Victory rolls are possibly one of the most recognised looks of the 40's with woman usually opting for one roll to the side (side reverse roll) or two rolls with one on each side (top reverse rolls) with a pompadour fringe/bang. Both of these styles are easy to re-create and look fab when worn with both hair down and updo’s. Step One Decide which style of victory roll you want to do - both suit all face shapes and can really transform a look! Once you have decided on the position of your rolls, part your hair … central is usually best for top reverse rolls and to the side is best for side reverse rolls! Step Two Section your hair and tie back all of your hair that you will not be rolling. Remember that the length of your hair can change the size of the roll so bear this in mind when you section it. Step Three – Side Roll Hold the hair at full length away from the head. Start rolling the hair around 2 fingers towards the back of your head. Step Three – Top Roll Hold the hair at full length away from the head. Start rolling the hair around 2 fingers towards the ceiling. Step Four Once you have completely rolled the hair, pin in place and gently remove your fingers. Be sure not to pull the hair from the centre of the roll. Step Five Complete all the above actions for the other side if you wish. Style your hair to match the era with large rollers or tongs or go for a large bun or high pony tail. &nbsp; A great way at cheating for this look is to use a single weft of your clip in hair extensions! Don’t fit the extensions to your hair but roll them in your hand. These can then simply be pinned into the correct position in your hair, just remember to put the clip against your head to hide your secret!! &nbsp; &nbsp; <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1311167964 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1311167964&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1311167964 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 06:24:55 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Elle Macpherson’s hair continues to be super voluminous as she embraces the big hair trend that started to appear earlier this season!! With the start of cycle 7 of Britain and Ireland’s Next Top Model, Elle Macpherson is looking stunning; the promo’s for the show have Elle Macpherson alongside fellow judges Charley Speed, Grace Woodward and Julian McDonald, she is really dressed to impress in a gold dress and a huge statement necklace… &nbsp; she looks amazing! Being a model for over 30 years herself, Elle Macpherson’s hair is crucial to her image. Her look is always on trend and her long sun kissed locks are one of her best known trademarks! Back in May, Elle was spotted out and about with big bouncy curls, adopting the celebrity big hair trend for her own style and this season Elle Macpherson’s hair has continued to grow!! In this shoot Elle Macpherson’s hair is the most voluminous we have seen it look! Her hair appears to be styled using large barrelled tongs or velcro rollers to create the waves and to also add a little volume. To get this much volume in your own hair you can add a couple of quad wefts to your current length or if your hair is shorter, then a full head in 20-22” would give you around the same length that Elle Macpherson’s hair has. &nbsp; It can be helpful to style your hair after fitting your extensions for a seamless finish … using a good quality (alcohol free) serum to run through the waves will give the tousled, but smooth look of Elle’s hair. We LOVE Britain and Ireland’s Next Top Model here at Headkandy! We can’t wait to know who will be in the final 12 and to see their make-over transformations! We’ll be on the look out to see if Elle Macpherson’s hair gets any bigger throughout the series!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1310659655 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1310659655&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1310659655 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 09:16:14 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Cher Lloyds hair was certainly different for her appearance on T4 On The Beach on the weekend; she unveiled her hair transformation and performed with a new half-shaven look with a dip-dye twist! Cher Lloyd embraced a rock chick style as she took to the stage in Weston-Super-Mare; she wore black, frayed denim shorts with a short-sleeved black skull T-shirt with Mickey Mouse ears. Cher Lloyds hair had been shaved off on one side of her head and the rest of her hair was pulled over her shoulder and worn in natural boho waves. Cher Lloyd’s ombre hair had also been dip-dyed pink to match her pink accessories and boots! We’re really not sure on Cher Lloyd’s hair style or the dip-dye look for T4! The ombre style works really well for Cher, but we think the pink dip-dye was just a tad too much! We love Cher Lloyd’s hair when it’s beautifully voluminous ... and although we love that she’s embraced a completely new look, we’re really not fans of the half-shaved style!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1310555627 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1310555627&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1310555627 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 04:16:24 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Celebrity wedding hair always gets us going here at HeadKandy and now that we’re in full swing with the wedding season we’ve got loads of great wedding hair styles to look out for! Kate Moss and Abbey Clancy have both tied the knot to their other halves this last week and we have been super excited to see the dress choices for both weddings! Of course we couldn’t wait to see the celebrity wedding hair either!! Kate Moss, who got hitched to rock star Jamie Hince in the Cotswolds, looked gorgeous in her Galliano ivory vintage-inspired sequined wedding dress … we just weren’t so sure on the veil! Kate Moss’ wedding hair was simple yet effective; she wore her blonde locks in loose and natural waves, creating quite a bohemian feel that suited her perfectly! WAG Abbey Clancy, who got married to Peter Crouch in Leicestershire wearing a white strapless Giles Deacon wedding dress, similarly opted for natural waves for her wedding hair style! You can easily re-create Abbey Clancy’s wedding hair with a large barrelled tong; carefully brush through the curls after styling to loosen them slightly and create a more natural finish. Both blushing brides looked stunning on their big day, but Kate Moss was our favourite! We loved her vintage-inspired dress and her wedding hair style just worked so well for her! &nbsp; <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1310039621 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1310039621&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1310039621 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 04:53:41 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Cheryl Cole’s hair has had a dramatic make-over! Cheryl Cole’s blonde hair and her new bob cut were revealed just in time for her birthday bash on the weekend. Her trademark brunette locks have been dyed blonde by L’Oreal colourist Amie Wilson and Cheryl Cole’s hair has been cut and restyled into a long choppy bob by stylist Lisa Laudat.&nbsp; Cheryl Cole’s hair was showcased at her celeb studded 28 th birthday party on Sunday night in front of her VIP guest list which included Girls Aloud band mates Kimberly Walsh and Nicola Roberts as well as Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie, Ashley Cole’s brother Matthew and new X Factor judge Tulisa. Cheryl Cole appeared for the celebrations in a gorgeous circular disc mini-dress by Stella McCartney – she looked stunning! We think Cheryl Cole’s blonde hair looks gorgeous and it’s great to see her new long bob, but we definitely prefer her as a brunette and we hope to see her back to her trademark look soon. <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1309871210 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1309871210&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1309871210 Tue, 05 Jul 2011 06:06:50 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Tulisa’s hair has been looking amazing as she’s made her debut as an X Factor judge! With X Factor auditions taking place all over the country we have been eagerly waiting to see N-Dubz’s Tulisa’s style choices. The auditions are well and truly under way now and we haven’t been disappointed by the outfits and more importantly the hair do’s on show! Tulisa has stepped into Cheryl Cole’s shoes very well; she’s combined some very on trend outfits with some classy and interesting hair styles – Tulisa’s hair has continued to look stunning so far and we can’t wait to see more!! Tulisa’s debut appearance in Birmingham saw her wearing a DKNY black jumpsuit covered in kiss print! This very unusual outfit was combined with a very interesting updo. Tulisa’s hair for the Birmingham auditions looked very impressive, but it’s a style that’s easy to achieve yourself! Create a small section at the front of your hair and pin away from the rest of your hair. Scrape all your hair back and secure in a high ponytail. Take a small section of the hair from your pony and roll this around your fingers then secure with a pin. You can plait/braid some of these sections to create different textures of hair … this is a good time to add in some clip in hair extensions for extra volume, just be sure to hide the clips with the roll of hair. Once you have completed this section of your hair you can move on to the front section. Again start by rolling the end of the hair, but pull this across and pin above the ear to give this style a vintage feel! We loved Tulisa’s hair for the Manchester auditions! Tulisa’s classy half-up half-down hair complemented her girly fitted pencil skirt and frilled top beautifully! A full head of extensions is perfect for adding the length and volume that Tulisa’s hair had here. Separate the top section of your hair from your ears up using your fingers. Once you have hold of this section take a brush and smooth from the face. If you twist this section and push the hair up you can raise the hair and give a little extra lift to the crown before pinning to hold the hair securely. Tulisa has added a large wave to the ends of her hair, but this style looks great with your hair worn straight or wavy!! The following day at Manchester saw a change in Tulisa’s hair with a new take on the classic vintage victory roll style! Choosing just one roll makes this look more subtle than some of the celebs who have tried this look lately. This hair style is a nod back to the 40’s and 50’s and to Hollywood greats like Marilyn Monroe. It looks great on Tulisa with her dark waves and is a really easy way of going from day to night with a few pins.&nbsp; Simply section your hair from the ear up and roll this around your hand, position the hair against your head and pin in place. We can’t wait for the live shows of X Factor to start as we have a feeling Tulisa’s hair is going to get better and better!! &nbsp; <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1309883376 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1309883376&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1309883376 Tue, 05 Jul 2011 09:33:16 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Festival hairstyles are on the agenda at HeadKandy this week after an epic Glastonbury on the weekend. Beyonce was the headline act at Glastonbury on Sunday night and she really wowed the crowd with not only her performance, but with her outfit and her fabulous festival hairstyle; her festival look was very reminiscent of the 80’s with her gold sequined jacket and her super voluminous curls – she looked amazing!! Beyonce’s Glastonbury performance proved that it’s still important to look good despite all the muddy mayhem at a festival so here’s our top picks for this year’s festival hairstyles. Braids/Plaits Braids and plaits are a favourite for festival hairstyles and you’ll be bang on trend with this look as braids and plaits are huge this summer! The fishtail braid/plait would be a great festival hairstyle choice as it allows you to keep your hair out of the way while still looking gorgeous!! You can wear your fishtail braid neat or tousle it slightly for a more boho feel to emulate the festival atmosphere! If you’re planning on wearing your hair down then a plait can really set your look off! Pixie Lott’s hair looked amazing at the Isle of Wight festival earlier this month; her hair was styled in lose waves with a 70’s inspired plait decorated with flowers across her forehead. You could plait a HeadKandy standard weft to re-create this super cute hippy style and add a few small floral clips to really finish it off! The waterfall plait/ braid would be a gorgeous choice for your festival hairstyle. It’s a glam and girly style that’s just perfect for summer!! Follow our easy step by step tutorial to create your own waterfall plait/braid. Boho Waves Think Alexa Chung and Pixie Lott – these ladies know how to work their boho waves and this is an excellent option for your festival hairstyle. You can add some waves to your own hair and your HeadKandy extensions with a large barrelled tong. Gently brush through your curls or run your fingers through them after styling to create a boho, carefree look! A cute headband or a boho clip would be the perfect addition to this style. &nbsp; Ponytail A ponytail can look gorgeously girly and it’s great for the festival season because it’s a no fuss style! The ponytail is super adaptive too; you can wear it low or high, in the middle or to the side! Wrapping a small section of hair around your elastic will add a touch of glamour to this style and you can always add some cute clips or flowers for an extra feminine touch!! HeadKandy hair extensions are perfect for achieving super volume and length with your ponytail! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1309259052 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1309259052&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1309259052 Tue, 28 Jun 2011 04:42:35 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Coloured hair extensions allow you to make a statement and customise your style whilst being bang on trend! HeadKandy hair extensions can be coloured, they're great for achieving flashes of colour or vibrant streaks!! Celebs like Rihanna, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj are renowned for their coloured hair - coloured hair extensions allow you to easily re-create their statement styles. Nicki Minaj is forever changing and updating her look! She’s experimented with everything from candyfloss pink and turquoise to vibrant stripes and camouflage! We love her sense of fun and individuality … she really knows how to work brightly coloured hair extensions!! Katy Perry looked amazing with her blueberry locks last year, but her pink and blue highlights for the release of Firework are a particular favourite of ours – these are super easy to re-create with a few HeadKandy standard wefts!! Shades Bunny Blonde and Paparazzi Highlights are amazing for creating crazy coloured hair extensions. You can easily change your look and add Katy Perry style coloured highlight extensions to your style or get Rihanna’s red hair by applying a dye to your blonde hair extensions. If you’re looking for a more subtle style with your coloured hair extensions then Ellie Goulding’s lilac hues look fab!! If you have light coloured hair extensions then you can create this ashen, purple look by using a silver toning shampoo. Leave the shampoo on for the maximum time recommended and use every day to gradually build up the desired shade!! Coloured hair extensions are also great for creating the dip-dyed look that’s so popular at the moment. If you’re looking for vibrancy with your dip-dye style then blonde hair extensions are usually best … then it’s just a matter of selecting your fave dip-dye shade. We just love turquoise and bright pink for dip-dye styles, they look amazing!! Coloured hair extensions are great for girls who like to update their look on a regular basis … just get creative with your colours and your options are endless!!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1308923941 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1308923941&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1308923941 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 01:47:47 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Nicole Scherzinger’s hair looked fabulous as she made her US X Factor debut earlier this week. Nicole, who was called in to replace Cheryl Cole as the new US X Factor judge, made her debut appearance in a peach coloured top and purple skirt ... she looked stunning! Her outfit choice has caused much speculation though as she stepped out in similar colours to Cheryl Cole for her own US X Factor debut just a few weeks ago! Nicole Scherzinger’s hair always looks amazing and we loved the effortless glamour for her X Factor appearance in Miami! Her hair was worn long and in natural waves; this style is super easy to re-create with a 20-22” HeadKandy full head set and a 38mm curling tong. Gently brush your curls through after you’ve styled your hair to re-create the natural look that Nicole Scherzinger’s hair had!! Although we’re sad that Cheryl Cole won’t be a judge for the US X Factor, we are really pleased to see Nicole Scherzinger as her replacement! We can’t wait to see Nicole Scherzinger’s hair styles as the US X Factor gets going!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1308844842 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1308844842&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1308844842 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 09:23:28 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0in; mso-para-margin-right:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0in; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;} The Katy Perry GHD campaign has just been launched. We were a little shocked to see GHD with a celeb endorsing their brand as it’s not something that they have ever done before … but we love that they’ve selected Katy Perry to front the campaign!! We’re super excited by the images used in the new Katy Perry GHD campaign; they have very strong and individual looks!! GHD is a brand that is great at creating their own identity and showing consumers how they can fit into the GHD world and this is strongly reinforced by their choice of photographer for this campaign! Photographer David LaChapelle is a favourite of Headkandy so it’s great to see him on board for the GHD campaign. We just love his vision … his images are always iconic and these GHD images of Katy Perry certainly don’t disappoint! The 1 st advert shows Katy Perry in a 1950’s style bedroom, dressed up and looking every inch a star with her hair styled to suit this era perfectly. &nbsp; Her hair has a deep side parting and has been smoothed down. She has very large curls that have more than likely been created with GHD’s, but this style can also be created with heated rollers or large barrelled tongs. Her hair is tucked behind her ear on the lesser side and the curls sit just below her ear. As there is more hair on the other side, the curls start a little higher up and have loads of volume. Adding a few single strips onto this side of the head would give you the extra volume needed to help re-create this look. &nbsp; This glamorous 50’s style was a favourite of Hollywood stars like Marilyn Monroe and Katy Perry pulls this look off effortlessly. You can make this style extra special by adding a cute clip or a vintage style jewel to secure the hair by your ear. The 2 nd advert is such a contrast to the first, showing Katy Perry at a pool party in a tight fitting neon outfit. Her surroundings and make up are used to further enhance the neon colours!! Her hair looks amazingly thick and full in this photo and although we’re not too sure on the style for everyday wear we think this hairstyle would be amazing for making an impact on a night out! To get the extra oomph for this look, try using an extra quad weft or two alongside your full head. Once you’ve fitted your HeadKandy hair extensions you can create the curls using straighteners … don’t play with the curls too much as this will keep them gorgeously defined. We think this is a great new take on the 80’s look!! The final advert shows Katy Perry looking like a boho version of the classic Grecian goddess as she is laid out on a chaise lounge surrounded by motorbikes covered in plastic. Her hair is much longer and super smooth in this photo. Using the straighteners, GHD have created a subtle wave and enhanced this to frame her face. A full head of extensions would be perfect for adding the extra length and fullness for this style. Be sure to fit your extensions before you style to help create a seamless finish!! The 2 small plaits/braids around Katy’s forehead emphasize the goddess/boho theme of the photo, but this style is also one that’s huge for this summer!! If you don’t have the length to re-create these plaits then you can plait/braid a couple of single strip extensions and pin them underneath the top layers of your hair to create this look. &nbsp; We just love the David LaChapelle images used in the Katy Perry GHD campaign; his traits can be seen subtly throughout all of the adverts! We love that the roses appears in all three images and it’s really clever how they are used as the thread for the campaign. Of course Katy Perry looks amazing in all 3 of the themes used in the GHD campaign, but we are huge fans of the vintage inspired advert … we think this definitely suits her best!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1308740264 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1308740264&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1308740264 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 04:11:33 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Hair extensions for short hair are the perfect way of adding the length and volume you’ve always wanted. We love to see how shorter styles can be transformed with Headkandy hair extensions either with extra oomph and body or with gorgeous (but discreet) length. Having short hair definitely doesn’t stop you being able to use clip in extensions successfully … we would normally recommend that your hair be at least jaw length with your shortest back layers being at least 4”, but it is possible to wear hair extensions for short hair that isn’t quite this long. Whether you want to add some extra length or just volume to your current length, the 12-14” or 16-18” full heads are usually perfect for changing and creating a natural look for short hair styles. Many celeb’s have recently been going for the chop and have opted for elfin crops and bobs. We love Emma Watson’s cropped hairdo and Alexa Chung’s dip dyed bob is just fab! Following in their footsteps, Radio 1’s Fearne Cotton has also changed her hair to a super short style! Fearne Cotton’s hair has been getting progressively shorter and this week, for the Glamour Magazine’s Women of the Year Award show, she showed off a new platinum blonde wavy bob. It looks fabulous!! Fearne Cotton’s hair always looks great and she can really experiment and embrace different styles, but we think her new look really suits her!! Fearne Cotton’s hair style is perfect for those with similar length or shorter hair. The addition of a 12-14” full head set will give you added volume and will be perfect for adding curls or waves. You can create Fearne’s waves by using a large barrelled tong and backcombing the roots of your own hair to give you the boost of volume she has. This length hair looks amazing and is a great way of changing a shorter style without making it obvious that you’re wearing extensions. If you did want to add a little more length than this then the 16-18” full head set should still look natural and will give you gorgeously thick and full locks. Top tips for hair extensions for short hair: -If your hair is shorter than jaw length and the layers on the back of your head are less that 4” long then it’s still possible to wear extensions. We would recommend trying a full head in your chosen length and if they don’t work for you when you first receive them then don’t fret, just give your clip in hair extensions another go in a few weeks when your hair is a little longer! A few cleverly placed bobby pins can be great for blending your extensions in with your natural hair! -Hair extensions for short hair that is less than jaw length can still work really well if the layers on the top of your head are longer. Long layers on top are perfecting for disguising your HeadKandy hair extensions! -We recommend fitting your hair extensions into your short hair first and then styling them in with your natural hair for a more flawless finish. -You can always have your stylist trim your extensions to blend better with your style if necessary. <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1308142287 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1308142287&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1308142287 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 06:07:48 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Kate Middleton’s hair looked impeccable as always as she attended the 10 th anniversary Ark Gala Dinner at Kensington Palace at the end of last week. All eyes were on Kate as she stepped out in a shimmering sequined Jenny Packham dress for the charity event. She was accompanied by husband William for their debut appearance at a public engagement as a married couple. Kate Middleton’s hair was left loose with natural waves at the ends and subtle root lift; it looked gorgeously thick and full!! She looked stunning and every inch a royal!! You can re-create Kate Middleton’s effortless glamour by backcombing the roots of your own hair for extra lift. Then fit your HeadKandy full head set (a 16-18” or 20-22” full head would be gorgeous!) and use a large barrelled tong to add curls at the ends of your hair. Brush the waves through gently to loosen the curls for a softer finish that matches Kate Middleton’s hair. We LOVE Kate Middleton’s hair here at HeadKandy; she has been blessed with naturally gorgeous locks and she always looks simply fabulous!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1308232583 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1308232583&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1308232583 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 06:59:15 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} The plait/braid trend is still huge at the moment and looks set to stay for the next few months at least. Here at HeadKandy we’re massive fans of the trend! We really LOVE the waterfall braid/plait and the Rapunzel braid/plait at the moment… they’re creative and girly and are perfect looks for this summer!! The Rapunzel braid is ideal for longer hair and we think it may be bigger than the fishtail braid this year! A Head Kandy full head in 24-26” would be perfect for creating the uber length for this look! Singer Rihanna was spotted at the 2011 Met Gala with her long, red locks styled in a gorgeous Rapunzel plait/braid. The braid started at the front of her head on both sides and was styled so that it met on the one side of her head to form a long Rapunzel braid that sat over her shoulder. Rihanna’s hair was bang on trend and looked super elegant… we loved it!!! The Rapunzel plait/braid is quick and easy to do yourself! Fit your HeadKandy extensions first and then start your braids either side of your parting on the front of your head and braid backwards, bringing one braid around the back of your head near the nape of your neck and continue to braid as if you were going to form a side ponytail. When the braids meet at the side of your head, combine them and continue to braid over your shoulder. Secure the end of your braid with an elastic. Tigi Bed Head After Party would be perfect for keeping this style looking smooth and sleek! Our other favourite braid, the waterfall braid, is super cute and can work really well with any length hair. This style is really girly and looks gorgeous with some cute accessories! Follow our easy step by step guide to create your own waterfall braid/plait! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1307624803 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1307624803&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1307624803 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 06:09:31 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Red Carpet hair styles are our current obsession here at HeadKandy! We had our eyes peeled for the best of the best hair styles at the annual MTV Movie Awards last weekend! It was a star studded night at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal Studios California and the red carpet saw many of Hollywood’s finest actors, singers and models making an appearance for the 2011 MTV Movie Awards. Two of our faves on the night were teen singer and Disney star Selena Gomez and British actress turned model Rosie Huntingdon-Whitley. These stars chose the same red carpet hair style with a few minor styling differences which complemented their outfits perfectly! Both girls chose to wear their hair half-up half-down, leaving some hair loose to frame their faces. The style is very simple, but can look gorgeously glam! Rosie Huntingdon-Whitley pumped up the volume at the crown of her head… almost creating a bouffant and she left her hair straight while Selena Gomez’s hair had a more natural look, it was slightly wavy and the pinned back section was a little more messy and tousled. A quad weft is perfect for giving you the extra volume to glam up this look! We think the half-up half-down hair style is great for summer. .. it’s fab for wearing from beach to bar or to a special occasion!! We also loved Reese Witherspoon’s hair; her bedhead blonde waves were teamed with an ultra glam Zac Posen leopard print jacquard bustier dress – she looked stunning!! Actress Emma Stone, who presented the award for Best Villian and picked up her own for Best Comedic Performance, has just returned to her auburn locks and she looked fabulous with her hair styled in natural waves … a large barrelled tong would be perfect for re-creating this red carpet hair style with your own hair and your HeadKandy hair extensions!! And how could we forget Nicki Minaj, Lil Mama and The Electric Barabellas – who perhaps stood out for all the wrong reasons! We really weren’t sure on their red carpet hair styles or their choice of outfits … better luck next time ladies. <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1307464281 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1307464281&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1307464281 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 09:36:05 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Glue-in hair extensions have been in the news this week as the Trichology Society is calling for a ban on them because of the damage they do to women’s hair. According to BBC Newsbeat, Steve O’Brien, a trichologist at the London Centre of Trichology, says there has been a 15% increase in women seeking help with their damaged hair after using glue in extensions over the last two years. Here at HeadKandy we just don’t understand why women are still using glue-in extensions when clip-ins give just as good results … if not better … without ruining your hair!! Clip-in hair extensions are more flexible than glue-ins as they allow you to simply change your style by clipping the wefts in and out of your hair. You can easily change your style from day to night or update your look from day to day! Clip-ins are also the least damaging form of hair extensions, they are no more damaging than tying your hair back in a tight ponytail. Clip-in hair extensions are ideal for adding natural and glamorous thickness, volume and length to your own hair and they look gorgeous worn down or for added oomph for a chic updo! Love your hair ladies and swap your glue-ins for clip-ins!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1307104866 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1307104866&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1307104866 Fri, 03 Jun 2011 05:41:06 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} May was a busy month on the red carpet; the stars were out in their numbers and we were in our element with all the red carpet hair to watch out for! Here are our favourite celebrity hair styles from last month’s events. Cannes Film Festival 2011 The celebs were out in force for the Cannes Film Festival this year and there were so many gorgeous styles to choose from over the 12 days and nights that the festival ran, but we think these ladies really shone with their red carpet hair. Salma Hayek looked stunning in her floor-length gown with silver sequins and her hairdo was the perfect choice for a glamorous event. Salma Hayek’s hair was swept to one side with large, natural-looking curls and waves. You can style your own hair and then gently loosen the curls with your fingers to re-create this effortless glamour! Fan Bing Bing wowed onlookers time and time again with her stunning dresses and her red carpet hair was equally as glamorous on each occasion. &nbsp; Her hair always looked flawless, either worn in an elegant updo or worn down and naturally straight. Gwen Stefani’s hair was fabulous for each of her appearances on the red carpet during Cannes! She teamed her white and black Armani Priv&eacute; dress with a rock-chick updo for a perfectly chic look! Gwen was also spotted in a stunning floor-length black sequined dress teamed with gold accessories; her hair was left down, but slicked back with extra volume at the roots for an edgy twist on the glamorous style … she looked every inch a superstar! Gwen Stefani also wore her platinum blonde locks in voluminous curls with a vintage twist on the opposite side to her parting for another red carpet appearance. She was bang on trend with her big hair … We LOVED it! Rachel McAdams also embraced the big hair trend for some of her red carpet hairstyles… though her hair wasn’t nearly as big as Gwen’s!! She was spotted with her hair worn some up and some down for one event and with her hair worn naturally straight on another occasion … both hairstyles had a little more volume and lift and looked gorgeous! Rachel McAdams also made an appearance in a stunning red and see-through dress with elegant rose patterns; her hair was styled in big and bouncy curls with a vintage flick to her side-fringe … she looked truly amazing!! 2011 Billboard Music Awards There were some lovely hair styles for the 2011 Billboard Music Awards, but we think Beyonce, Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift really stood out from the crowd! Selena Gomez looked gorgeous on the red carpet for the 2011 Billboard Music Awards. She wore a sassy black dress with cut away sections at the waist and a thigh-high split. Selena Gomez’s hair was equally stunning; she wore her slightly ombre locks simple and poker straight … leaving her hair looking luxuriously thick and healthy! Taylor Swift stepped out onto the red carpet wearing a glamorous floor length gold, sequined gown. Taylor Swift’s hair was elegantly swept to one side in an Old Hollywood style hairdo that suited her dress perfectly. Create a low side-parting and add vintage curls to your hair and your HeadKandy hair extensions with velcro or hot rollers to recreate Taylor Swift’s red carpet hair. Beyonce put on a show-stopping performance at the Billboard Music Awards and showed-off her super toned body in a revealing silver mesh dress. She wore a stunning figure-hugging black dress for the red carpet and wore her voluminous locks in natural, looking waves… gorgeous!! The TV BAFTA's There were some gorgeous styles on the red carpet for the 2011 TV BAFTA’s last month, but the girls from The Only Way Is Essex really stood out with their glamorous frocks and hairdos!! Amy Childs stepped onto the red carpet in a very Princess-like gold sequined dress with a HUGE skirt!! Her fiery red hair was styled in large curls and suited the overall look well. Her style for the BAFTA’s was a tad OTT, but she certainly made a statement! Sam Faiers opted for a far more low-key look! She wore a simple shimmery low-cut white dress with black accessories and her hair was left naturally wavy. She looked super glam for the red carpet! Lydia Bright and Lauren Goodger both appeared in silver floor-length frocks. Lydia teamed her dress with a gorgeous updo and Lauren wore her hair with extra volume on top and with the lengths of her hair pulled over one shoulder and styled in large curls. However, Kara Tointen was our favourite pick from the 2011 TV BAFTA’s; she wore a dusky pink evening dress with elegant embellishment around the neck and shoulder area. Kara Tointen’s hair was equally as elegant; it was styled in a beautiful curly updo. She looked stunning!! &nbsp; May really was full of gorgeous dresses and red carpet glamour, but we think Gwen Stefani rocked her look more than everyone else! Her unique style really shone at Cannes; she appeared in stunning dresses and Gwen Stefani’s hair was bang on trend with each of her appearances on the red carpet!! &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1307021160 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1307021160&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1307021160 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 07:56:22 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Rihanna’s hair is always changing! Whether it be shade, style or length she seems to have tried everything and generally she is a girl that appears to do no wrong! Known most recently for her vibrant red locks, Rihanna still likes to experiment with her styles and lengths whilst keeping her trademark shade. Seen earlier this month in New York for the Costume Institute Gala Benefit, Rihanna’s hair was shockingly long! After the event she teamed her uber length bright red tresses with a simple cream outfit for maximum impact on a night out! Headkandy 24-26” extensions are a time saving essential for Rihanna’s mermaid style hair and this loose and wavy hairdo is very easy to achieve with a large barreled tong! Although we’re convinced Rihanna created hers from her plait/braid she was seen wearing on the red carpet! At the Billboard Awards 2011, Rihanna was trying out yet another style! Her waterfall of hair was gone and she was back to a cropped, choppy bob. Her shade appeared a little brighter than we have seen recently, but this could just have been in contrast to her white plunging suit. Compared to her fiery red hair, her outfit was a little boring, but this soon changed when she stepped out on stage with Britney Spears. A slightly more revealing outfit and a more voluminous hairdo had her looking more like the rock chick she is! We think Rihanna looks at her best when her hair appears a little more natural. At this year’s Grammy awards back in February we thought Rihanna’s hair was simply stunning. Going for a natural long bob and a spicy red shade, she looked super glam! Headkandy 12-14” extensions are perfect for adding the extra body and volume that Rihanna had at this event. We loved this cut on the star, but it didn’t stay around for long! Although we’re not sure on her latest red carpet hairdo, we are sure her stylists are already creating her next look … we can’t wait to see what she does with her hair next! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1306858450 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1306858450&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1306858450 Tue, 31 May 2011 09:14:10 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} The waterfall braid/plait is the latest style to emerge as part of this year’s plait/braid trend for spring and summer. Many people are confused about how to achieve this gorgeously girly look so follow our easy step by step guide to create your own waterfall braid! Step One If using your HeadKandy hair extensions for this look then be sure to fit them before you start styling. You may find that you will need to wear the side wefts a little higher on the head than normal to hide the top of the wefts. &nbsp; A side parting can be helpful as you will have extra hair for coverage! To start, part your hair in your normal parting and be sure to brush out any tangles. If you want to add waves to your hair it’s best to do this before you start with the waterfall plait. Then take a section from the front of your hair, right on your parting and split it into 3. Step Two Take the highest of your 3 sections and place it over the middle section, then take the bottom one and place over the middle section just as if you were doing a normal plait/braid. Angle your hands so that your hair is moving towards the back of your head and not down the side of your face for the next step. Step Three Before you move your top section over to the middle once again, you will need to pick up a little more hair from right beside the section, combine this with that section and fold over the middle section. Step Four Now instead of folding the bottom section over the middle you should drop that hair and pick up the section of hair that is hanging loose next to this section. As you fold this over the middle section you will see the section you dropped is now acting like a waterfall. Step Five You should continue with steps 3 and 4 until you have reached the point at which you want to stop! Some people start their waterfall braids on one side and continue all the way around and end with a normal braid/plait, others do one on each side and join them together and many just have them on the one side and secure them with a pretty accessory. Whichever look you choose you’ll be sure to attract a lot of attention with this cute waterfall plait. &nbsp;&nbsp; <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1306501501 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1306501501&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1306501501 Fri, 27 May 2011 06:05:01 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Scarlett Johansson is the latest celeb to join the 2011 auburn hair trend. Scarlett Johansson’s red hair made its debut at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner earlier this month. Her new spiced berry tones follow closely on the heels of Drew Barrymore and Blake Lively who both changed their hair colour last month. Drew Barrymore swapped her ombre locks for a sultry deep auburn shade and Blake Lively has dyed her blonde tresses a burnt copper! We LOVE Drew Barrymore’s hair! We thought her ombre locks were great, but we think her new auburn hair is just gorgeous! You have to give Drew credit as she’s always quick to embrace the latest celebrity hair trends! Blake Lively’s hair is a lovely, natural looking auburn. It’s not too much of a drastic change from her blonde hair and we really like it, but we think we do prefer her blonde! We’re not so sure on Scarlett Johansson’s fiery tones though… we want to love it, but her new style just doesn’t look right to us at the moment … maybe Scarlett Johansson’s red hair will grow on us… If you want to join the celeb auburn hair trend with HeadKandy extensions then shades Spiced Auburn and Deep Ruby would be perfect. Or for a more bold and dramatic red shade then Burlesque Red would be gorgeous with its deep and seductive berry red tones! &nbsp; <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1306165533 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1306165533&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1306165533 Mon, 23 May 2011 08:45:33 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} The stars were out in force last weekend for the annual British Soap Awards 2011; Voted for by the viewers, these awards are considered the most important by many of the stars and to others the red carpet ‘best dressed’ list is just as important as the awards themselves! With the Corrie, Eastenders, Emmerdale, Doctors and Hollyoaks girls there is always plenty of competition for ‘Best Dressed’, but here at HeadKandy we wanted to see the chosen red carpet hair styles for the big night!! The Hollyoaks girls usually make the headlines for all the wrong reasons at this event, but this year they seemed to go for a much more demure style. We noticed this common theme wasn’t just reflected in their dress choices but also in the hairstyles with the majority choosing classy updo's! We are big fans of Rachel Shenton, who plays glamour model Mitzeee on the show! Her hair always looks gorgeously thick and in great condition. For this event she wore a floor length chocolate brown, silk dress that she looked stunning in. She wore her hair swept over in a side pony with big, bouncy curls. To achieve this look we recommend using large velcro or heated rollers or large barrelled tongs. A quad weft can add extra volume and bounce to this style! She completed her look and joined the big hair trend by opting for a huge quiff… &nbsp; It didn’t quite rival the heights of Cheryl Cole’s hair or that of Sarah Jessica Parker, but it certainly gave Rachel Shenton’s hair a few extra inches! Following in Rachel’s footsteps was Jorgie Porter, who plays Teresa McQueen. She wore a backless bright turquoise dress (according to her Twitter she didn’t buy the dress until the day of the awards!! How’s that for an excellent last minute wardrobe choice?!) Her side pony complemented her dress perfectly and we loved the leopard print shoes peeping from underneath Jorgie’s dress. Super cute!! There were few mistakes in the style stakes from the Corrie cast ... named as ‘Sexiest Female’ for the 3 rd year running, Michelle Keegan who plays Tina in the soap, arrived looking head to toe a star! Michelle wore a floor length glitzy, gold beaded dress and she accompanied this with a simple hair style to pull off the effortless glam look. Her hair was left down with what appeared to be very little styling. It wasn’t straight or curly just very natural with subtle oomph at the roots. We loved it!! There seemed to be some controversy surrounding the outfit choice by Sophie Powles who plays Holly Barton in Emmerdale. She went for a rock chick look wearing tights that looked like stockings and hot pants! We loved her blunt heavy fringe and long curled hair (we’re just not so sure on the outfit choice!) and this just amplified her rock chick look! To re-create Sophie Powles tousled and messy tresses it would be best to use a medium barrelled tongs. If you are going to be adding extensions for extra length and volume, it’s always best to fit your Headkandy extensions first and style your hair and the extensions together as this will give a much more natural blend and finish. Natalie Anderson, also from Emmerdale, was dressed very elegantly and was a stark contrast to many of her co-stars! Natalie’s floor length lilac gown with sequinned trim and a diamond bow belt was simply stunning. Her hair looked super glossy and shiny too; she left her style simple which complemented the elegance of her dress. &nbsp; Overall the styles seen on the red carpet for the British Soap Awards were very elegant and demure … with the odd one or two catching the photographers gaze for the wrong reasons! We loved the hair styles this year and it’s hard to pick our fave …. But we think the award for best hair should go to Rachel Shenton who was bang on trend with her volumous locks ... her super quiff was following the big hair trend set by Cheryl Cole last week. We love it! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1305808640 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1305808640&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1305808640 Thu, 19 May 2011 06:14:56 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Cheryl Cole’s hair debut on the US X Factor recently seems to have sparked a celebrity ‘big hair’ trend as Sarah Jessica Parker and Elle Macpherson have both been spotted with super volumous locks! Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker stepped out at the Robin Hood Foundation annual benefit in New York last week with a big and bold bouffant. Sarah Jessica Parker’s hair is reminiscent of the 80’s style and requires some major root boost! Try backcombing your roots and applying some hairspray for extra volume or for an even bigger impact you can use a root crimping iron or velcro rollers! Try wearing an additional quad weft on the crown of your head for uber volume! Supermodel Elle Macpherson’s big hair was a little more Bridget Bardot as she ditched the root boost and went for uber volume through the lengths of her hair. Using velcro rollers on your own hair and your HeadKandy hair extensions would be perfect for re-creating Elle Macpherson’s big and bouncy curls!! Lady Gaga and Rihanna have also taken big hair to the extreme! Lady Gaga, who is no stranger to exuberant hairdos, has been seen with a 60’s style beehive with a three-tone twist! Lady Gaga’s three-tone beehive consists of black, copper and white tones and it’s a statement style to say the least!! Rihanna has been seen with her fiery red tresses styled in a super volumous ponytail to challenge even the biggest of celeb hairdo’s! So girls, big hair is back and it’s definitely time to pump up the volume!!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1305638332 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1305638332&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1305638332 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 05:08:28 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Britney Spears’ hair extensions were looking much improved as the pop star stepped out onto the red carpet to host An Evening of Southern Style for The St Bernard Project… there wasn’t a visible weave in sight! Her light blonde locks looked bouncy and healthy as they were styled in gorgeous jumbo curls for the event in Beverly Hills earlier this week. Britney Spears, who was joined on the red carpet by her boyfriend Jason Trawick, also showed off her new slim tour figure in a lime green bandage dress with a plunge neckline. Britney Spears' hair extensions were back on track and Brit was closer to looking her best, but we don’t think she’s completely there yet as some people have picked up on her messy brows for the event… c’mon Britney you’re nearly there and we’re really rooting for you!! Other celebs at An Evening of Southern Style also wowed with their locks! Kim Kardashian flaunted her uber long and super straight look which complimented her tight-fitting white dress beautifully and Kelly Osbourne styled her hair in a high pony with a volumous quiff! Disney stars Hillary Duff and Selena Gomez also made an impression as Hillary Duff wore her golden locks in gorgeous ringlets and Selena Gomez wore her hair long and straight! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1305293447 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1305293447&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1305293447 Fri, 13 May 2011 06:56:17 -0700 800x600 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";} Cheryl Cole’s hair made it’s X factor debut in the States – styled with statement volume, this debut is one to remember. They may not have known who she was before, but Cheryl Cole certainly set tongues wagging with her 70’s inspired outfit and ‘crazy’ big hair do’! HeadKandy hair extensions are perfect for creating Cheryl Cole hairstyles!! She may be the nations’ sweetheart in the UK, but Cheryl is relatively unknown in the States so sitting alongside Simon Cowell, LA Reid and Paula Abdul on the USA X Factor, Cheryl Cole needed to make an impact. Arriving in Los Angeles in a Rolls-Royce, the paparazzi were eagerly waiting to get the first snap of her. She rocked her seventies-inspired outfit &nbsp; - &nbsp; a tangerine Oscar de la Renta blouse, purple Diane von Furstenberg flares and bright turquoise belt which was the perfect accompaniment to her Farrah Faucet inspired hair. 800x600 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";} To re-create the Cheryl Cole ‘uber volume’ hair you need to add lots of root lift at the top of your head and at the crown. You can achieve this with velcro curlers and lots of backcombing on your own hair to give you as much or as little lift as you like. You can also use an extra quad weft on the crown of your head for an extra volumous look. To add some lose curls like Cheryl Cole, you can either use the velcro curlers on the lengths of your hair or you can use a large barrelled tongs or curling wand. Be sure to fit your extensions first and curl in with your own hair for a seamless finish.

Cheryl Cole shows off the different sides to her personality with hair styles ranging from a 60’s inspired bouffant and a pinned up faux-bob to an 80’s rock chick quiff - reflecting the bold statements made by the hair brand in the campaign.

We all love the happy couple, but we’re a little torn in the office – some of us are a little blas&eacute; about the day’s events and some of us want to party and celebrate with the onlookers in London! We’re all in agreement that the ceremony was incredible and Westminster Abbey was an amazing sight! We loved all the drama and the crowds gathered to welcome Wills and Kate!! We were so eager to see Kate’s dress, hair and make-up and she certainly didn’t disappoint. Kate looked stunning in her white lace wedding dress and really was a beautiful bride. Kate’s veil has made some of us wonder whether we would want to wear one on our own wedding day though… We think Kate is blessed with naturally gorgeous hair and it was mostly hidden by the veil for her Big Day. We would have loved to see her hair on show! We’ve all really enjoyed the atmosphere for the Royal Wedding here at HeadKandy and we think Kate and Wills are a lovely couple! Congratulations both :) <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1304092396 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1304092396&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1304092396 Tue, 17 May 2011 06:22:52 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} We love Gwen Stefani in the new L'Or&eacute;al Paris Pr&eacute;f&eacute;rence advert!!

We’ve picked a great selection of prom hairstyles that are easily achievable with HeadKandy hair extensions. Chignon The Chignon is always a popular choice for formal or glamorous events; it looks great and is an easy updo! &nbsp; A full head set in 16-18” or 20-22” would be perfect for this style, giving you thickness and volume!! Fit your HeadKandy hair extensions and gather your extensions and your own hair together in a low, loose ponytail at the nape of your neck. &nbsp; Secure this with an elastic. Split your ponytail into two parts and twist both parts in a tight spiral. Start at the base of the ponytail and gently curl the twisted ponytail into a bun. Secure your Chignon with hairpins to hold the style! For something a little different, why not wear your Chignon to the side or leave some hair loose around your face and add a few natural waves for a softer look! A glitzy hair accessory would really set this style off!! Old Hollywood Curls This vintage hair style will really wow your friends! It’s sophisticated, stylish and simple to do - it will look fab with any prom dress!! First, fit your extensions (a HeadKandy full head set in 16-18” or 20-22” would be best here), but leave out the top few wefts until later. Create a low side parting and set your hair and your extensions in rollers (Velcro or hot rollers should work best ... don’t forget to curl the wefts you haven’t fitted yet as you will need them later). Fit the rest of your extensions and then brush all the hair back away from your face. Use a soft brush to brush out the curls a little. Tuck the smaller side of the parting behind your ear slightly so it sits flatter to the head and you’re ready to go! Half-Up Half-Down Styling your hair half-up and half-down always works really well for prom and the style is really adaptable and can be pulled off both curly and straight. Once you have fitted all of your hair extensions, apply a good quality heat protection treatment and use jumbo curling irons to create gorgeous curls. Once you’ve finished, gently brush the curls through to loosen them slightly. Take a small section of hair from each side and bring them to the back of your head, securing them with a glamorous clip. Alternatively, you could wear the style straight and glam up with a tiara or fascinator!! You could always add an additional Quad Weft to the crown of your head and backcomb your own hair for uber volume!! Uber length with waves/curls If you prefer to wear your hair long and luxurious then a full head set in 24-26” is perfect for giving uber length! This looks great worn in loose curls or waves (think Miley Cyrus!) and would be gorgeous for prom! For large waves or curls, use a 38mm jumbo curling tong or for smaller curls or waves try a 24mm curling tong (but be sure to use a good quality heat protection treatment first). You can brush the curls through gently after styling for a softer look! All of the above styles will look simply gorgeous for your prom; you’re bound to turn heads and you certainly won’t be left in the corner for the last dance! &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1302799181 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1302799181&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1302799181 Thu, 14 Apr 2011 09:40:19 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} Kim Kardashian looked super gorgeous at the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards last weekend and you can re-create her cute hair style with HeadKandy hair extensions. &nbsp; The 30-year-old reality TV star, there to present the award for Favourite TV Show, worked the catwalk alongside the young stars of TV and pop music. She f launted her curves in a nude, plunging mini dress and looked truly ah-mazing. Her hair was worn long with a loose, natural looking wave. Her usually side swept fringe was replaced with a pulled back braid. This style is perfect for keeping unruly fringes away from your face in the summer; it’s very easy to achieve and looks great with any length hair. To achieve Kim’s fab look, start by fitting your extensions (any length full head would work really well) and then side part your hair - remember to position the side wefts a little further away from the frame of your face (this will stop them being noticed when your hair is braided). After applying some heat protection, use large barrelled tongs to add a soft wave to your extensions and your hair. Tonging your hair and extensions together will help blend the ends of your hair with the extensions! Once the overall waved look is accomplished, all that is left is the braid/plait! &nbsp; Section off the front of your hair (generally this would be in line with your ear) on the side which has more hair so you plait/braid looks nice and thick. Taking the top 2 inches of this section split into 3. Hold the hair at slight backwards angle and fold the right side outer section over the middle, then the left side over the middle. Continue this motion all the way to the end of your hair and secure with an elastic. Plaiting/braiding your hair at an angle means it will have a little movement at the roots and will blend in with your waved hair. &nbsp; This look can be made uber summery by adding in some floral clips or bobbles or you could add a cute bow. &nbsp; Other celebs at the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards were looking equally fab! Miley Cyrus was rocking long waves (this look is perfect for a 24-26” full head set) and Selena Gomez wore her shoulder length hair loose with a slight, natural wave. A 12-14” full head in Iced Coffee would be great for Selena’s subtle ombre look! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1302106732 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1302106732&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1302106732 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 09:18:52 -0700 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Superstar Beyonce goes blonde!

We’re in our element with all the red carpet events as it’s given us loads of great hair to talk about at HeadKandy HQ &nbsp; ... here are our picks of the top styles and tips on how to re-create them with your own clip in hair extensions. &nbsp; The 2011 Grammy Awards – February 13 th 2011 Katy Perry was wearing a gorgeous dress for the award ceremony and we just LOVED her glitzy purple and green eye make-up!! She had gorgeous soft curls in her hair which complimented her whole look really well. If you have dark hair like Katy, then a 16-18” or 20-22” full head in Soho would be perfect for re-creating her look yourself. Use a jumbo curling iron to achieve those big romantic curls! Similarly, Selena Gomez wore long soft curls for the Grammies – this style is huge this year so the girls are band on trend! 20-22” extensions in Espresso would be the closest match for Selena or to re-create the subtle highlights, Iced Coffee would be fab!! Add some curls with a 24mm curling tong and gently brush them through to loosen them slightly. We love Miley Cyrus’ BRonde look from the red carpet! Get Miley’s uber length with a 24-26” full head and add some loose curls with your flat irons. Pin back a section of the hair from each side and secure with a cute clip! &nbsp; The 2011 BAFTA Awards – February 13 th 2011 Actress Amy Adams wore a beautiful beaded dress for the BAFTA awards and her hair carried natural curls. If you’re a red head like Amy then shades St Tropez or Spiced Auburn could work well for you! Re-create Amy’s gorgeous curls with a 24mm curling tong and brush the curls through to soften them. Use a hairspray safe for use with hair extensions to hold the style in place! Bonnie Wright went super straight with her gorgeous red hair for the BAFTA’s. A 16-18” full head would be best for Bonnie’s look. Apply a good quality heat protection treatment to your own hair and your hair extensions and then use your flat irons for a straight and sleek look. Take sections of hair from above the ears and pin them back to create a half-up half-down look! &nbsp; The 2011 BRIT Awards – February 15 th 2011 Cheryl Cole looked stunning for the red carpet in a sexy backless black sequined dress with a thigh-high split. We loved her smokey cat’s eyes and her updo with a fashion ponytail ... FAB!! To get this unique ‘do part your hair all the way around leaving a 2 inch perimeter below the parted hair line. Pull the hair above the hairline upwards, angled backwards, and apply hairspray. Backcomb the hair for volume before adding more hairspray to form a nest. Use your remaining natural hair and brush it back over the nest of hair you have created and secure it underneath with a bobble so you have a short ponytail left at the back of the head. Select 2 or 3 hair extension wefts (depending on how much hair you want for your fashion pony!) and clip these onto your natural ponytail, wrapping them around 2 or 3 times. Paloma Faith also caught our attention with her oversized fashion hair-bow and her long red locks! To create a curl at the ends of your 20-22” extensions, use heated rollers on just the ends of the extensions, but be sure not to leave them on for too long. This should give you a gorgeous kink like Paloma! Select an oversized hair accessory to really set this style off! &nbsp; And the winner is... There was some gorgeous hair for the award ceremonies this month, but we think Cheryl Cole really stole the limelight with her unique up-do! She stood out from the crowd of lose curls and really made a statement with a hairstyle that was a little bit different!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1298044362 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1298044362&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1298044362 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 09:50:12 -0800 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1297964614"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/b50ad33b5635086d_Miley-Cyrus.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="100px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} Miley Cyrus rocked BRonde hair extensions at the Grammy awards and we loved it!! You can get the look yourself with HeadKandy hair extensions! Teen Queen Miley Cyrus arrived at the Grammys with her brand new BRonde look! She looked as perfect as always, wearing a floor length metallic sparkly leopard print Cavali dress which was simply stunning! Her gorgeously long locks were styled in loose waves with sections of hair pinned back from her face in a half up half down ‘do. Her fab new hair extensions had a subtle ombre look, but definitely falls into the BRonde category! And this is a super easy way to achieve the BRonde look without having to change all your hair! If your base shade is similar to Miley’s you can achieve this look with Butterscotch Highlights J Go for a quad weft and a few single strips positioned in the underneath layers of your hair! This is guaranteed to look great worn wavy like Miley or poker straight! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1297964614 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1297964614&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1297964614 Thu, 17 Feb 2011 09:43:34 -0800 It&nbsp;doesn't&nbsp;matter whether you’re loved up or a single lady, we have the perfect hair styles for you this Valentine’s Day with HeadKandy hair extensions. &nbsp; Loved Up If your partner is treating you to a romantic meal this Valentine’s or you’ve got a hot date with that special someone then you will want to look your best! We have a selection of hair do’s that are sure to WOW your other half! &nbsp; Half Up, Half Down: This style looks great whether worn curly or straight, long or short. For real drama, a full head in 20-22” or 24-26” is just perfect! Fit your full head of extensions and then take pieces of hair from each side, just above your ears, and pin them at the back of your head with a cute clip. To make this a bit different, why not twist or plait the sections of hair you clip back to add some gorgeous texture! &nbsp; Chignon: The Chignon is a beautiful option for whatever you might have planned. Once your extensions are in place, gather your hair into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck (but don’t make it too tight) and split your ponytail into two parts. Twist both parts of the ponytail tightly into a spiral. Starting at the base of the ponytail, carefully twist it into a bun. Secure your Chignon with hairpins and apply a good quality hair spray or smoothing cream. &nbsp; Curly Faux Bob: A shorter full head of extensions works best to achieve this do! A 12-14” full head set would be ideal. Part your hair slightly to one side and fit your extensions, adding lots of volume at the roots by teasing your hair! Use a good quality heat protection treatment before adding some gorgeous curls using a 38mm jumbo curling iron (or for tighter curls you could use a 24mm curling iron). Tie your own hair and your extensions together loosely at the back of your hair in a very low ponytail. The elastic should be about 4 inches from the end of your hair. Twist the hair upwards until you reach your desired length for your faux bob, tuck it underneath and secure with bobby pins. Pull some loose curls to the sides of your face to soften the look! Don’t forget a good quality hairspray to hold the style! &nbsp; Single Ladies And we don’t want the single ladies missing out on all the fun, so if you’re hitting the town with the girls then these hair style’s will ensure you’re dressed to impress! &nbsp; Long waves: Long hair is huge this year and some soft, effortless waves would look great for a night on the town! A 16-18” or a 20-22” full head would be ideal for adding gorgeous waves, or for ‘uber’ length, why not try a 24-26” full head? Fit your extensions and then add some big, loose curls using a 38mm curling iron or rollers! Gently brush the style through to loosen the curls slightly and create a more carefree look! You could always add some braids/plaits for texture and interest! &nbsp; Super Quiff: For this statement look, a 20-22” full head set would work best. Section hair on both sides - from your temple to the corner of your crown and then from your crown to the top of your ear. Clip in the hair extensions from the nape of your neck up to the crown.&nbsp; (Normally the clip ins would be fitted around the whole head, but for this style fit them all in the back from ear to ear).&nbsp; Then move the hair at the crown forward and out of the way! Take the hair from where you sectioned it earlier and tie it back into a pony tail just above the area where your extensions are, this will keep the side areas sleek and is a great cheat for giving height!! &nbsp; Backcomb the top of your hair closest to the ponytail to make a secure base.&nbsp; Now you need to start to form your quaff; work from the crown forward and use some hairspray for control.&nbsp; Section by section, shape the hair back and over the pony tail. &nbsp; Super straight: For a quick and easy (but no less sexy) look, you could wear your extensions super sleek and straight! This works well for any length, but we think 16-18” and 20-22” full heads look fab!! Remember to use a good quality heat protection treatment before you use your flat irons to straighten out your extensions and your own hair. You could add a glitzy headband for some gorgeous glamour and sparkle! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1297431311 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1297431311&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1297431311 Sat, 12 Feb 2011 06:43:39 -0800 800x600 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";} It's the start of a brand new year and that means we have loads of gorgeous hair styles and trends to look forward to! Here are our HeadKandy hair predictions for 2011: The Ponytail A ponytail is a flexible style that works all year round, but is the ultimate summer staple! It’s going to be a popular choice for Spring/Summer of 2011 where it has been seen on multiple runways. Whether left straight or wavy, tied high, low, to the side or centred, this simple style exudes youth and fun - but the addition of some pins can turn a ponytail into a sleek, glamorous updo! This completely fuss-free look is chic and feminine and by pinning in some flowers or using cute bobbles the look can be changed again! HeadKandy extensions are perfect for this look; adding volume, but most importantly length - another must have for this year’s hair!! Long Hair Long hair is definitely the look for 2011! For all girls with shorter hair, extensions are going to be your best friend this year - the longer the better! All the designer shows for the Spring/Summer '11 were showcasing models with flowing locks. The styles have been mainly wavy and naturally kinky, making this the ideal summer style! Avoid spending hours managing your hair - simply towel dry, add a little product and enjoy the sun. Long hair is great for the hotter months as there are so many styles and ways of wearing it, whether it’s the classic ponytail, a plait/braid (these will also be huge this year!) or bun - these always look effortlessly feminine and summery. &nbsp; A full head set of extensions will add glamorous length, volume and thickness to your summer hair and will give you plenty to play around with and style!! Mid Length Waves look great on any hair length; they are going to be the style to be seen wearing for 2011. This year’s waves are big and brushed out. Almost vintage in their styling, they can look very soft and romantic or they can be made to look very glamorous. This look works perfectly with shoulder length hair as the curls sit on your shoulders and create loads of volume; using a quad weft or a full head set for extra thickness and oomph will give you a fabulous 50’s do! Teaming this look with a vibrant colour such as Rihanna’s creates a modern twist on this classic style! Heavy Fringe The heavy fringe/bang is the perfect accompaniment to all the above styles! &nbsp; Choose between a heavy, blunt, in your eyes look or opt for a deep cut, side sweeping fringe/bang - whichever best suits your face shape. A fringe is a bold statement and adds structure to your hairstyle! It looks great with shorter or longer hair and can really freshen up your look. <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1294933051 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1294933051&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1294933051 Fri, 14 Jan 2011 08:44:54 -0800 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} To achieve Lauren's laid back glam look, first apply a heat protection product to your hair and extensions. Loose curl your hair and extensions by using either Velcro rollers or large barrelled tongs to create large loose waves. If you find your hair is curlier than you want simply put a very small amount of serum on the tips of your fingers and pull through the curls - this will loosen the curl but the serum will stop them going fluffy :D Working from your natural parting, section your hair above your ears. Angle upwards so the section is almost triangular and pointing towards the crown, leave all the back section of your hair loose. Using grips, pin the top triangle section on both sides. This is a low maintenance look that's girly glam and the added volume from your extensions will leave others envious :) For an extra glamorous look, try adding a bling clip or jewel to the pinned section. &nbsp; To make it a more daytime look braid the section before pinning :) <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1293462904 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1293462904&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1293462904 Mon, 27 Dec 2010 07:15:04 -0800 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} The chignon is a timeless classic updo! It can be made uber glamorous being pulled back and sleek or can be left a little more ‘messy glam’ by creating tousled hair with some loose curls! To achieve this look I would recommend using 16-18" or 20-22" length extensions to keep the bun a manageable size! First decide if you’re going straight or curly, after using a heat protection product and following the Headkandy care guide, curl or straighten your own hair and extensions. After fitting your extensions pull all your hair into a loose pony, either at the nape of your neck or to the side - about 2 inches behind your ear! I find using a thin hair elastic helps secure the whole chignon when you have finished and it is very easy to hide. Start by splitting your pony into 2 sections and simply wrap them around each other! Twist one to the right and the other the left, secure each twist with hair grips and hairspray or smoothing serum! To achieve the tousled look simply leave your hair loose framing your face, then when you have wrapped your hair pull out a few ends to leave some flowing curls! Or cheat by using your single wefts and have some longer flowing curls : ) <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1293462443 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1293462443&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1293462443 Mon, 27 Dec 2010 07:15:32 -0800 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} HeadKandy Hair Extensions will add the perfect touch of style to your look this festive season as you meet and great with all your friends and family and we’ve got some hot looks you can play around with! Christmas Day With all the excitement of opening your presents on Christmas morning there may not be much time to get ready before the family arrive so you want a hair style that’s simple, but gorgeous. We love the way Kelly Osbourne has been wearing her hair in a retro ponytail lately and this would be a perfect look for Christmas day!! &nbsp; Fit your full head of extensions and then take random large sections of your hair and extensions in together and curl them from the middle to end using a jumbo curling iron. Gather your hair and extensions into a ponytail and secure it with an elastic. Next you need to create you pompadour. To do this create a quiff that is detached from your hair rather than blended , twist it and pin it at the back. This hairstyle looks great with a pretty bow to hide the elastic and give it that 50’s chic! If you prefer to wear your hair down then fit your extensions and then add some loose, natural looking curls with your tongs and gently run your fingers through them. Use a good quality hair spray safe for use with extensions to keep your curls in place well into the night as the mulled wine flows! Boxing Day Whether you’re partying hard or doing the rounds visiting family on Boxing Day, you can create the perfect look with your HeadKandy extensions. For an easy day look, why not fit your extensions and pull all your hair around into a side ponytail. Wrap a small section of your hair around the elastic for a more stylish do! This style looks fab with ‘uber’ long extensions... 20-22” or 24-26” will really make a statement! If you’ve got a party or you’re hitting the town in the evening then why not wow everyone with Old Hollywood hair? Fit your extensions, but leave out the top few wefts. Create a low side parting and set your hair and your extensions in rollers (Velcro or hot should work best ... don’t forget to curl the wefts you haven’t fitted yet). Fit the rest of your extensions and then brush all the hair back away from your face. Use a soft brush to brush out the curls slightly. Tuck the smaller side of the parting behind your ear slightly so it sits flatter to the head. This look would look gorgeous with a fitted dress and some stylish jewellery and it will definitely turn some heads however you decide to celebrate on Boxing day!! So there you have it, some gorgeous looks for the party season that are guaranteed to make you shine! Have a very merry Christmas from everyone at HeadKandy and show off your extensions in style!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1293461913 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1293461913&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1293461913 Mon, 27 Dec 2010 06:59:11 -0800 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1292343070"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/NEW-SHADE-BANNER-2.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="132px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> 800x600 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";} 800x600 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";} Breaking news...

Take a look below at HeadKandy's top tips :) Firstly, and most importantly, make sure you use a good quality shampoo and conditioner. Choose products rich in moisture, this will replenish some of the moisture which the cold air steals. A leave in conditioner used once a week can be a great remedy for your own hair. Focusing on the ends of your hair, you can keep split ends at bay and improve the overall condition of your hair. An overnight mask can also make a substantial difference to the condition of your own hair, but remember not to condition your hair extensions as often as you would your own hair and always refer to the care guide. If you get dry skin in the winter don't forget about your scalp!! For dry scalps, a scalp exfoliator can work wonders. &nbsp; Alternatively, use an anti-dandruff shampoo, this should stop your scalp drying out and becoming itchy. &nbsp; During the winter, heat protection from styling tools is, as always, very important. &nbsp; Try the product Some Like It Hot, not only does it protect your hair from the damage caused by heat tools, it will reduce frizz. All styling tools damage the hair, try to use these as little as possible! If you can't go without tongs or straighteners, try styling just the top layer of hair or use a low heat setting. The cooler heat setting on your hair dryer, will close the hair cuticles and help keep those split ends away! You can also apply some hairspray to your brush whilst styling to eliminate excess static. If your hair is long, make sure you have it trimmed every 6 weeks to avoid split ends travelling further up your hair. Leaving it will only mean you end up having to get your long locks chopped shorter!! When you have to venture out into the cold, remember your hat!! Or if you’re not the hat type, invest in a snood - anything that keeps your hair covered up will help keep moisture in your hair, which will prevent it drying out. Also, this will prevent it blowing around and becoming tangled - tangled split ends make for painful brushing out! As well as the cold outside, the heating indoors, will reduce the moisture in your hair! Try to sleep with the heating turned down low. A great tip is to put a mug of water on the top of your radiator, this releases extra moisture into the air, it can also make your room smell amazing - you can add scented oils to the water, my personal favourite is cinnamon it makes the whole house smell like Christmas :)&nbsp; <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1292165543 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1292165543&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1292165543 Tue, 14 Dec 2010 08:51:34 -0800 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1291312346"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/winter%20hair%20extensions.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="62px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} The snow has been falling thick and fast this week and it’s got all of us here at HeadKandy talking about this year’s winter hair using clip in hair extensions. Adding tone to existing shades is the key to this look. Hair toners inject life back into your hair during the cold winter months and are easy to maintain. If your hair is a platinum blonde shade like Bunny Blonde and you’re looking for a change this season then why not ask your stylist to put an amaretto toner on your hair to create more of an ashen tone like our LA Blonde extensions, this shade is much more seasonal! For darker shades &nbsp;it’s all about the warm chocolaty browns, so if you hair is a medium brown shade then Iced Coffee extensions will give you some gorgeous subtle velvet blonde highlights for this winter. Spiced Auburn with its luxurious copper undertones and Deep Ruby with its winter warmer glossy red tones are also excellent choices for adding a touch of warmth this season and these shades look really glamorous in the longer length full head sets! If you are thinking of a change and a fresh new hair colour this winter then be sure to visit your stylist first to see which shade would be best for your skin tone! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1291312346 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1291312346&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1291312346 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 09:52:26 -0800 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1291311519"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/faux%20bob.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="128px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> 800x600 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";} The ‘Faux Bob’ using hair extensions is a great way of toying with shorter hair without getting it cut and this style looks great with curls! You can add gorgeous volume to your ‘Faux Bob’ with HeadKandys clip in hair extensions. Step One A full head set of clip in hair extensions in 12-14” would be perfect for this look! Part your hair slightly to one side and fit your extensions, adding lots of volume at the roots by teasing your hair! When your extensions are in place, apply a good quality heat protection treatment and add some gorgeous curls using a 38mm jumbo curling iron. Step Two Gather your hair and extensions and tie them loosely at the back of your hair in a very low ponytail. The elastic/bobble should be about 4 inches from the end of your hair. Gently twist the hair upwards until you reach the length you want for your ‘Faux Bob’. Tuck the hair underneath and secure it with some bobby pins. Step Three Gently pull some loose curls around to your face to frame it and apply a hair spray safe for use with hair extensions to keep your style in place! And there you have it ... a gorgeous, short style with no scissors involved!! You could always glam this style up even further with an additional quad weft at the crown of your head for an extra volumous look!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1291311519 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1291311519&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1291311519 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 09:38:39 -0800 800x600 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";} HeadKandy have got the solution to dramatic and glamorous hair this Halloween with our remy human clip in hair extensions. The ‘Vamp’ The Vamp look is bound to be huuuge this year because of the success of the likes of Twilight, True Blood and Vampire Diaries and we’ve got some great tips for perfect Vamp hair!! It’s all about the uber length for the Vamp look ... a full head set in 20-22” or 24-26” would be perfect for some gothic glamour and with so much hair to play with you can really have some fun. You can pretty much pull off this look whatever shade your hair is, but our favourites for a Vamp are Soho Black, Organic, Deep Ruby or Bunny Blonde ... these shades are dramatic and are fab for Halloween. For a more traditional Vamp, you can style your hair poker straight. It would be best to fit your extensions first, apply some heat protection treatment and then use your straightening irons on your hair and extensions at the same time to get a flawless finish. If you have a full fringe, this will really make a statement with this look! If the poker straight style doesn’t grab you then why not go for some small curls instead? This looks best with shades Soho Black or Organic!! Fit your extensions and curl your own hair and your extensions together using a 24mm curling iron, the more curls the better!! Be sure to use a good quality hairspray afterwards to keep your Vamp curls in place. You can spice up your Vamp hair with a few single strips in a contrasting shade... so if you’re Bunny Blonde why not add a few single strips in Soho Black or if your hair is Organic then a few single strips in Deep Ruby could work really well! The ‘ Dark Witch’ Witch costumes are a popular option every year so make yours stand out with some fab Halloween hair using clip in hair extensions. There are so many options for this look, but we’ve selected our favourites! A Soho Black full head in 12-14” is perfect for a traditional witch look... spend some time backcombing your roots to create lots of volume and once you’ve fitted your extensions use your fingers to ‘boof’ up your hair and make it look more tousled. For sexy long hair in shades Soho Black, Organic or Espresso a full head in 20-22” or 24-26” worn poker straight or with some loose curls would look great! The ‘White Witch’ The ‘White Witch’ would be a great costume for this Halloween, this is perfect for blonde shades such as Bunny Blonde, Paparazzi Highlights and California Highlights. A 20-22” full head would be best for this look. You could style your hair and extensions poker straight or you could add some gentle curls. Jumbo curling irons would add some gorgeous curls for this style, then gently run your fingers through to loosen the curls. Apply a good quality hairspray to ensure the hair holds all night! The ‘Boho Zombie’ Or if none of our other styles grab your attention then why not try something completely different this Halloween with our fab ‘Boho Zombie’ hair...? A full head set in 20-22” or 24-26” would add some drama for this style ... You can pull this look off with any shade hair (and why not add a few single strips in contrasting shades ... adding a toner to Bunny Blonde will make them appear whiter, but be sure to conduct a strand test first and follow all guidelines closely!) Fit your extensions (backcombing your roots to add volume) and then style your hair and extensions together for a more blended finish. Take sections of your hair and extensions and curl them using 24mm curling tongs, apply a good quality hairspray to hold the curl and then run your straightening irons over the curls to give them more of a dreadlock appearance (it’ll look a bit like Christina Aguilera in her music video for Dirty .) To glam this look up even more, why not add an additional quad weft at the crown of your head and create a beehive effect...? Lots of backcombing will give you gorgeous volume!!

Extensions for the office... A deluxe full head set is fab for making a statement in the daytime ... why not try fitting your hair extensions and then bringing them all around to one shoulder for a sassy side pony that will make you stand out from the crowd. An additional quad weft would be great for adding extra volume to the crown of your head.

Then use your 38mm jumbo curling tongs to add some sexy curls for your big night. Try backcombing your hair at the roots for extra texture, volume and va-va-voom! Don’t forget to apply some hairspray suitable for use with human hair extensions to keep those curls in place as you dance the night away!!

Lady Gaga had long wavy hair with blue hints and an exuberant headdress and Katie Perry had gorgeous curls with some fun blue, pink and purple streaks! Ke$ha was looking fab and trendy on the red carpet with her super quiff and fishtail which are both huge at the moment. The uber length of her hair really made this style stand out!! You can re-create Ke$ha’s look with a 24-26" full head set in California Highlgihts. &nbsp; To add a super quiff to your own extensions follow our simple step-by-step guide to creating the perfect Super Quiff and then complete the look by pulling all your hair around and braiding it into a trendy Fishtail!! Singer Ciara stepped out with gorgeous natural-looking curls! A 16-18” full head in Soho Black would be perfect if you want a style like Ciara. Apply some heat protection spray to your hair and extensions and add some stunning curls with your curling irons. Actress Emma Stone was looking beautiful in a stylish black leather look dress and with natural waves to her hair! Shade Melted Chocolate would be a good match for Emma’s look on the red carpet, and to add some natural waves to your hair and extensions, add some quick curls with your straightening irons and then run your fingers through to loosen them right out. Add a side fringe to this look to really set it off!! And of course we couldn’t mention the MTV VMA’s without taking a look at the girls from ‘The Hills’ who were all looking great on the red carpet!! Audrina went for the poker straight look where as Stephanie Pratt had gorgeous curls in her locks and Lo Bosworth had her hair in a chic side ponytail with some gentle curls. ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ London Film Premiere – 22 nd September Julia Roberts, star of romantic film ‘Eat, Love, Pray’ made a statement on the red carpet for the London premiere in a sophisticated and stunning white suit and her hair was looking gorgeous too!! Julia kept her locks simple with some gentle waves that beautifully complimented her overall look. To re-create Julia’s style, you could go for a 20-22” full head set in shade Espresso. To add some gorgeous, natural curls like Julia, use jumbo curling irons and gently brush the curls through afterwards. ‘You Again’ LA Film Premiere – 23 rd September The female stars of new hit comedy ‘You Again’ were looking stunning on the red carpet for the LA Premiere. Kristen Bell went for a simple half up, half down look for the premiere. A 16-18” full head set in Manhattan Highlights would be perfect to achieve this yourself. Once you’ve put your extensions in, take sections of hair from behind your ears and secure them at the back of your head with a clip. To add a bit more glamour to this look, you could add an extra quad weft on the crown of your head and try backcombing your hair. Odette Yustman wore a gorgeous burnt orange dress on the red carpet and wore her hair in loose curls swept to one side. Her style also had a hint of ‘Ombre’ about it, keeping her on trend with her hair!! To re-create Odette’s look, a 20-22” full head set in ‘Iced Coffee’ would be gorgeous (or if you want to go for the ‘Ombre’ style then take a look at our Ombre Hair blog post to see how to achieve this), curl your hair and extensions using jumbo curling irons and then run your fingers through when you’re finished to loosen them slightly. Bring all your hair over to one shoulder for a more sophisticated look and then apply a good quality hairspray. Jamie Lee Curtis and Sigourney Weaver turned up in matching silk teal dresses for the night and both were stunning! Jamie had embraced her grey hair in a short trendy style and Sigourney had gentle curls in her shoulder length hair. To have a style similar to Sigourney, a 12-14” full head set in Iced Coffee would be perfect. Add some curls with your jumbo curling irons, brush them through slightly and apply some hair spray. And the winner is... We’ve got loads of gorgeous ladies with loads of gorgeous hair styles to consider this month so it’s been really difficult to pick a winner... After much consideration ... we decided that ... Ke$ha was most deserving of the HeadKandy ‘Best Hair Award’, not only was her style unique for the MTV VMA’s, but she managed to combine TWO fab styles with the ‘super quiff’ and the ‘fishtail plait’ and still pull it off! These styles are both huge at the moment and we loved how she brought them together so creatively ... she is definitely a deserved winner this month!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1285951744 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1285951744&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1285951744 Fri, 01 Oct 2010 09:53:51 -0700 800x600 When it comes to wedding hair, we’ve noticed that it’s not just celebs who are turning to clip in hair extensions for their wedding hair styles, but that lovely ladies everywhere are looking to glam it up with gorgeous volumous locks!! Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life and your time to be in the limelight as everyone ‘ooh’s’ and ‘aaah’s’ at how beautiful you look, so why not make a statement with wedding hair to wow your loved ones even more? ... We’ve handpicked a few gorgeous styles that are easy to achieve with HeadKandy hair extensions and are guaranteed to look stunning for your big day... &nbsp; the hubby won’t know what’s hit him!! Half up, Half down hair style with gorgeous curls and a glam clip We think this half up half down wedding hair style is perfect for a blushing bride and if you want to do it yourself then it’s not too tricky either. A full head set in 20-22” is perfect for making a statement with this look. Once you have fitted all of your hair extensions, apply a good quality heat protection treatment and use jumbo curling irons to create gorgeous curls. Once you’ve finished, gently brush the curls through to loosen them slightly. Take a small section of hair from each side and bring them to the back of your head, securing them with a glamorous clip. Don’t forget to use a good quality hairspray (we think the Tigi Bed Head - Massive Masterpiece Hairspray is great and it smells lush too!!) to keep your curls in place all day! You could always add an additional Quad Weft to the crown of your head and backcomb your hair for more volume with this look. Chignon Hair Style The Chignon&nbsp; hair style is a very chic and stylish ‘updo’ and it’s perfect for a wedding! A full head set in length 16-18” or longer would be great for this look or you may be able to get away with using just a quad weft in 16-18” or 20-22”. Follow the HeadKandy care guide to fit your extensions and then gather your hair and extensions into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck (but don’t make it too tight) and split your ponytail into two parts. Twist both parts tightly into a spiral and gently curl the twisted ponytail into a bun (starting at the base of the ponytail.) Secure your Chignon with hairpins and apply a good quality hair spray or smoothing cream. To spice this style up, you could also try wearing it on the side!! Luxuriously long curls For a more simplistic look, you could go for long and glamorous curls with your extensions, this should be really easy to achieve by yourself. A full head set in 20-22” or 24-26” would be great for this style ... the longer the hair, the more your curls will flow!! When your extensions are in place, apply a good quality heat protection treatment and then use either 24mm curling irons or jumbo 38mm curling irons (depending on how big you want your curls to be). A great tip is to curl your own hair and the extensions together so that they blend better. Make sure you curl the sections of hair by your face away from you to give it a gorgeous and natural finish. Lightly spray your hair and extensions with hairspray to ensure your curls hold!! This look would also look great with an additional quad weft and some backcombing on the crown of your head!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1285778721 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1285778721&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1285778721 Wed, 29 Sep 2010 09:49:30 -0700 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1285172241"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/fishtail%20braid%20plait.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="137px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> 800x600 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";} Trend Alert: The Fishtail Braid/Plait I’m sure you’ve all seen the fab new Fishtail Braid / Plait trend popping up in magazines and on celebs everywhere by now and we think this style looks great with uber long hair extensions. A HeadKandy full head set in 20-22” or 24-26” would be perfect for making a statement with this look! Step One Once you’ve fitted your extensions it's time to make your fishtail braid / plait, pull all your hair (including your extensions) around to the side opposite to your parting and loosely divide it into two parts. Step Two Take a small piece of hair from the outside of one section and bring it into the middle to join the other section of hair. Continue this on the other side, but remember to pull the hair quite tight!! Continue this braiding method until you reach the end of your hair and extensions and then secure it with a clear elastic. Step Three Now grip the end of your braid firmly so the hair doesn’t come loose and gently pull out sections on both sides. Rub the strands between your fingers to loosen them. Do this for all of your braid or until you’re happy that you’ve created the ‘mussed-up’ Fishtail Braid /Plait look that’s bang on trend at the moment!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1285172241 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1285172241&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1285172241 Wed, 22 Sep 2010 09:18:15 -0700 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1283956384"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/drew-barrymore-hair-extensions.gif" align="left" width="120px" height="166px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> 800x600 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";} We had a fair few big film premieres on the red carpet last month and we’ve certainly found ourselves some strong contenders for the ‘Best Hair Award’... let’s take a look: ‘Salt’ Movie Premiere Angelina Jolie, the star of the new spy thriller ‘Salt’, has been looking glam and gorgeous at the premieres of her new film this month. She wore contrasting hair do’s at the London and Paris premieres, but both were equally gorgeous and deserve nominations for the HeadKandy Best Hair Award. At the London premiere, Angelina went for a natural look as she wore her hair in very loose waves. You can achieve this look by creating quick curls in your hair and your hair extensions using straightening irons. Run your fingers through the curls afterwards to loosen them. This is quick and easy and guaranteed to look great! For the Paris premiere, Angelina glammed up with a very sophisticated and chic up do. You can re-create this style by loosely curling your hair with curling tongs and then carefully pinning all your hair up. This style may take a bit of time but, the end result is definitely worth it!! ‘Machete’ Movie Premiere Jessica Alba stole the show at the ‘Machete’ premiere in LA this month as her co-star Lindsay Lohan was a no-show. Jessica was chauffeured to the red carpet event in a customised low-rider and wore a striking metallic gold and black dress, meaning all eyes were on her!! Her locks were more low key, but no less gorgeous as she went for natural waves for the big night. You can re-create Jessica’s look by lightly curling your hair and extensions using your straightening irons and then smothing the iron back over the curl to create a mor relaxed look. ‘Going The Distance’ Movie Premiere Drew Barrymore, star of hit new romcom ‘Going the Distance’ stepped out onto the red carpet for the LA premiere looking gorgeous in gold and with her now trademark ‘Ombre’ hair! She definitely looked the part as her brown and blonde hair (which complimented her dress beautifully) fell in natural waves, which you can easily do at home yourself by using your straightening irons! And the Winner is.... Angelina, Jessica and Drew were all looking beautiful for their red carpet limelight, but we have a clear winner this month for the HeadKandy ‘Best Hair Award’ ... drum roll please... it has to be... Drew Barrymore! Drew is bang on trend at the moment with her ‘Ombre’ hair and she set a great example at the ‘Going the Distance’ LA Premiere of just how gorgeous ‘Ombre’ hair can look. Well done Drew, we love the two-tone trend you’re setting! Take a look at our ‘Ombre’ hair blog post to see how you can get this funky do yourself and see if you can work it like Drew does!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1283956384 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1283956384&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1283956384 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 07:38:47 -0700 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1283178930"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/ombre%20hair.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="166px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> 800x600 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";} We’ve all seen Drew Barrymore making a statement with her ‘Ombre’ hair lately, but it seems she’s not on her own in loving this unique style as other celebs have been jumping on the ‘Ombre’ bandwagon this summer. You can create your own cool ‘Ombre’ hair using HeadKandy hair extensions. So what is ‘Ombre’ hair I hear you cry ... well it looks a bit like you’ve forgotten to dye your roots for a while, but in a good way ... the roots and top of the hair are darker and they slowly fade down into lighter tips... it may sound a bit outlandish, but as we’ve seen with celebs like Drew Barrymore, Alexa Chung, Rachel Bilson, Hilary duff and Kristin Cavallari, this look can really work and it looks set to be big this autumn!! If you fancy trying out a bit of ‘Ombre’ for yourself then you have a few options: If you have dark roots or hair similar to shades Espresso or Melted Chocolate then you can spice up your do by adding some single strips in Tanned Blonde or LA Blonde, dying the roots of these extensions by two shades darker would create a more natural ‘Ombre’ look as your hair subtly fades from dark to light. Alternatively, if you’re a block colour brunette and you want a more subtle take on the ‘Ombre’ look then you could try a full head set in either Iced Coffee or Cappuccino Highlights to add some drama! Again, dying the roots of the extensions would give you a more faded effect. ‘Ombre’ hair is definitely an acquired taste and you’ll either love it or hate it, but it seems it’s around to stay for the moment at least so why not Ombre-fy your own locks with HeadKandy hair extensions...? <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1283178930 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1283178930&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1283178930 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 07:36:04 -0700 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1282295859"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/Ayda%20Field.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="180px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> Actress Ayda Field was looking gorgeous as she got hitched to heartthrob Robbie Williams at the beginning of the month and her hair was simply stunning! Ayda obviously had a top stylist to get her hair looking so fab, but you can achieve the same look with HeadKandy hair extensions. Ayda’s colouring is very similar to HeadKandys shade Jennifer Aniston (or if you want a more golden look like the picture above then opt for the shade St Tropez) and you could re-create her gorgeous length with a 20-22” full head set. This will give you plenty of hair to work with and will add natural looking length and volume! If you want the look for your own big day or for another glam occasion then why not try curling your extensions using jumbo curling tongs and then gently brush the curls through to loosen them slightly. Add your final touches by pinning some hair back in a glitzy slide and applying a good quality hair spray and then you’ll be ready to go out looking as hot as Ayda!<br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1282295859 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1282295859&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1282295859 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 02:19:18 -0700 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1282150231"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/cheryl%20cole%20hair1_1282150410.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="180px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> 800x600 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";} 800x600 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";} It’s clear that Cheryl Cole is on the mend and to our great delight she has decided it’s time to reacquaint herself with her old friends ... her hair extensions!! Cheryl was spotted on an evening out with professional dancer Derek Hough at the Beverly Hills Steakhouse last week and she was back on form and looking gorgeous in a navy silk dress and a beautiful new set of hair extensions. Her ‘Iced Coffee’ locks were looking very glam in loose curls and complimented her dress perfectly for her intimate dinner with Derek.

You can achieve your very own ‘Nixties’ look with the help of HeadKandy hair extensions! &nbsp; The ‘Boho Beehive’ &nbsp; Let’s start with the ‘Boho Beehive’ which is a great style for mid-length to long hair. A full head set of HeadKandy hair extensions would be great for adding gorgeous and natural looking volume and length to help you achieve this look. Adding an extra quad weft higher up on the back of the head, backcombing the roots of your hair and using Tigi Bed Head Masterpiece Massive Hairspray will give you the volume boost for the sixties beehive. To add a touch of Boho, loosely curl your hair and brush through to give your own hair and the extensions a slight wave. &nbsp; ‘Bohemian Chic’ &nbsp; A HeadKandy full head set would be perfect for giving you natural looking thickness to achieve the ‘Bohemian Chic’ look. Couple your hair extensions with a blunt fringe to create this statement hairdo. You can create a more natural look and add some texture by adding some random loose curls which can be achieved by quickly curling strands of hair with straightening irons. ‘Uber’ layers looks great for this hair style, have your stylist trim your hair extensions for the desired effect! &nbsp; ‘The Nouffant’ &nbsp; And finally, if you want a more extreme ‘Nixties’ look then ‘The Nouffant’ is just for you! Backcomb your hair at the root and then tease your hair upwards and away from the root using your fingers, clip the hair into place when you are happy with the style. Use a good quality strong hold hair spray to keep your do in place! &nbsp; So there you have it, hot off the press! Next season is all about the ‘Nixties’ so have your hair spray at the ready and make a statement with one of these gorgeous hairdo’s. <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1281523770 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1281523770&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1281523770 Wed, 11 Aug 2010 03:50:31 -0700 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1280933638"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/the%20hills.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="138px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> The Hills may have come to an end, but the stars styles are still hot and fans of the show can get the girls glamorous looks with HeadKandy hair extensions! The girls were looking gorgeous at the series finale party with their luscious locks last month and if you have similar hair shades to any of the stars then here’s how to get your hair looking just as on-trend as theirs: Kristin Cavallari – for Kristin’s look shade California Highlights would be fab! Using Large Velcro or heated rollers and then brushing the curls through would give you Kristin’s natural looking waves. Audrina Patridge – Shade Jennifer Aniston or Tanned Blonde would be great for Audrina’s look. You could style your hair extensions like Audrina by using HeadKandys 24mm curling tongs and running your fingers through the curls to loosen them. Lo Bosworth - Shade Manhattan Highlights would be great for Lo’s look and it would also work well for Lauren Conrad’s look – (we know she’s not in the sixth series but, she’s still as popular as ever). You could pin the extensions back loosely for a glam and sophisticated effect. Stephanie Pratt – Paparazzi Highlights would work really well if you wanted to re-create Stephanie’s look. Get her poker straight style by using straightening irons on your own hair and on the HeadKandy hair extensions when you’ve fitted them into place. You’ll be the envy of all your friends if you go out with gorgeous volumous hair that looks like it’s fresh from The Hills, so what are you waiting for?

It’s important when wearing your hair so long that the styling is just right. Miley of course has hair dressers and stylists at her beck and call so she needn’t worry but for the rest of us there is a fine line. Headkandy 24-26 inch hair extensions extensions are best worn on already long hair, with perhaps 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. Miley has youth in her favour, there’s probably not much that she couldn’t get away with. She’s beautiful, sexy, and talented so pretty much everything looks good on her. <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1264532305 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1264532305&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1264532305 Tue, 26 Jan 2010 10:58:25 -0800 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;} If you’ve got brown hair and fancy a change.

Try something different with your brown hair, extensions are the perfect way to do this because if you don’t like it or you change your mind you can just take them out or even dye them so they’re brown all over like your own hair again. <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1262149678 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1262149678&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1262149678 Tue, 29 Dec 2009 21:07:58 -0800 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1261089169"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/blog%20cheryl%20cole%20in%20stock.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="113px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;} Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;} t’s the festive season and that means there are countless social events coming up. Usually this means that you’re spending the days with the same group of people so not only do you need to look gorgeous at all times but you need a different look for each day! Fear not as this is easily done. With clip in hair extensions you can change your hair like you change your clothes. You don’t wear the same outfit to more than one social gathering in the space of a week so why wear the same hair?! Headkandy to the rescue, we’ll give you a look that is suited to each day of Christmas.... Christmas Eve – On this day of excitement and anticipation you may head to the pub for a few festive drinks with friends before you settle down in bed subconsciously listening out for those sleigh bells. This requires a little glamour, try a pair of jeans with heels and a smart casual top with a few evening sequins. For your hair go for your freshly tonged hair extensions, maybe pin back some of it to ease up on the glamour, you’re only at the pub after all. Christmas Day – It’s here, the big day, the day we’ve been building up to for the last few weeks. Today you need to make an impact but still you’ve got to be practical. You’ll probably be making your rounds visiting the family and maybe even cooking a mighty feast. A nice winter dress with tights and heels will look just great and some sparkling accessories. Your extensions from last night will have dropped just enough for you to wear a loose, natural looking curl, wear it all down and forward showing it off, it’s Christmas you want to look your best! Boxing Day – Ah the calm after the storm. Boxing day is a nice quiet day so sit, lounge and enjoy leftover Turkey sandwiches and pickled onions. Today’s a day when you can get away with wearing your comfy sweats, just keep it stylish with a trendy logo t-shirt with soft joggers and a long, slouch cardi. Now for the hair: Just because it’s a lazy day, it’s no time to slack on the hair extensions front, it’s still Christmas time which means that people may call over unannounced. Pop your shorter hair extensions in, wear them naturally straight not poker straight. This will look effortless and easy but you’ll still feel confident enough to entertain. New Years Eve – This is your chance to go all out! It’s the biggest party of the year. You’ve got your little dress, killer heels, bag, bangles, earrings and everything a party girl might need (chicken fillets, false lashes, fake tan etc) now for &nbsp; the all important party girl hair extensions! Don’t do anything by half’s. Start with a blow dry using volumising mousse and a round brush; get as much volume as humanly possible! Use Jumbo curling tongs to style your longest set of Headkandy full head hair extensions. Curl each weft on a straight angle from the bottom up, leave for a minute or so then gently remove the hair from the tong without unravelling it right away. Once you’ve don’t this to all of the hair brush it out with a hair extension loop brush leaving a bouncy shape. Back comb your hair at the roots and pop your hair extensions in. Fuss and tease it until it’s as BIG as it can be. Volume and big hair extensions have been one of the most popular trends for this year so see the year out in style and start as you mean to go on! New Years Day – The morning after the night before. Who cares what you’re wearing today, you just concentrate on getting over last night’s antics, whatever they were! You’re hair is probably resembling a birds nest now from all last night’s back combing and then hitting your pillow in the early hours of the morning. Use the back combed monstrosity to your advantage and give yourself a big, stylish up do. Even a simple pony tail with back combed hair can look amazing! Now for your New Year’s Resolution. "I will continue to look after my hair extensions, I will make the effort to ensure that they always look natural and I will make the most of my hair everyday!” J Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Headkandy! x <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1261089169 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1261089169&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1261089169 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 14:37:00 -0800 Ever since the beautiful Taylor Swift had her moment taken away from her by the Rude Kanye West and given back to her by the Classy Beyonce at the VMA’s everyone has been talking about her.

Although Cheryl may have had a new hair cut it would be safe to say the shorter style is thickened out with hair extensions.&nbsp; Looking back at older press of a Cheryl Cole short haircut you can clearly see the difference between her hair back then and her hair now. Cheryls hair looks great with both long and short hair extensions.&nbsp; Many people have shorter length hair but don't necesarily want to add length with hair extensions.&nbsp; The beauty of extensions is the flexibility of styling.&nbsp; A few single strips can be used on shorter hair cuts like Cheryl Coles, we advice that you add the extensions on an angle from behind the ears to just below the front temple.&nbsp; Then cut the hair extensions down to match your own hair and style them 'til your hearts content. You will acheive thicker hair but most importantly you will add hair to the troublesome area around the face which often gets overly layered or is difficult to grow and remains finer than the hair at the back of your head.

Headkandy stock a wide range of interesting blonde shades that resemble Laurens and there’s a shade for everyone.

Headkandy stock clip in extensions in shade "Dye it Yourself” these are perfect for people who can’t find their match on the website and would prefer to dye the extensions in the same colour they dye their own hair.&nbsp; It doesn’t just have to be the "Dye it Yourself” extensions, you can dye any of the human hair extensions to match your own hair provided it’s just by a few shades. The extensions can only be dyed darker, or you can add a toner. They cannot be lightened or bleached as they have already been through a chemical process and additional colouring or bleaching is likely to affect the condition of the hair. &nbsp; Before dyeing the extensions ALWAYS DO A STRAND TEST, this means dyeing just a few strands of the hair first to give you an idea of how the colour is going to come out. Once you have done a strand test and you are happy with the results you can go ahead and dye the rest of the hair extensions. You will need to use much more of the dye than you might usually use as you will have to completely saturate the extensions in the dye to guarantee a true, even colour. &nbsp; The freedom to dye hair extensions is also handy for those who want to change the colour of their own hair, simply dye your extensions at the same time with the same shade. &nbsp; If you have dyed your hair extensions you will then need to wash them. You can wash and condition them following our guide on www.headkandy.com &nbsp;Please keep a few things in mind... don’t rub the hair vigorously when you shampoo and condition, it’s best to smooth the product into the hair extensions by running your hands down the hair to prevent tangling them. &nbsp; We highly recommend that you then allow the hair extensions to dry naturally and then straighten them out once dry. &nbsp; You don’t necessarily need to wash the hair extensions, certainly not often as they don’t get the same supply of natural oils as your own hair therefore they tend to stay fairly clean. Clip in hair extensions are so versatile, not only can you achieve various styles but you can change the colour to suit you! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1258474540 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1258474540&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1258474540 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 09:02:36 -0800 Every bride wants to look her absolute best on her special day. They have to have it all! Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. Here at Headkandy we believe that there’s something missing. No bride should be without beautiful Headkandy hair extensions. Who needs a veil or a train when you can be draped in long luscious hair? It’s the perfect way to achieve an elegant, feminine look that will make your groom giddy. Headkandy extensions can be used in so many ways to create some of the most modern and the traditional bridal looks. Most brides opt for demure up do’s and although one might think that hair extensions won’t help with this, they do! One thing that makes an up do easier is having plenty of hair to work with and Headkandy can provide you with that hair! The clips on Headkandy extensions flip over making it easier to tie up. A look that’s also very popular with brides is the classic some up, some down look much like Cheryl Coles wedding hair and Headkandy hair extensions can help you to get this look for yourself! It’s funny how over the years it’s become a tradition for brides to wear their hair up or at least slightly up. I say out with the old and in with the new, it’s big hair all the way! I want glamour and style. I’d like to see more brides wearing their hair down, with beautiful loose curls and sweeps, and with perhaps a little ornament or dare I say it a subtle tiara....Note, keep the tiaras subtle you don’t want to walk down the aisle looking like a contestant for Miss World! With a little help from Headkandy anyone can get married in style!&nbsp; <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1254321761 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1254321761&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1254321761 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 08:03:26 -0700 Janet Jackson made here presence well and truly known as she paid tribute to her Brother the King of Pop at the 2009 VMA’s! This year’s VMA opening focused on the incredible life of Michael Jackson. The ever demure Madonna &nbsp; began the night by showcasing her public speaking skills giving a speech that made us all want to celebrate and cheer for Michael Jackson , bravo Madonna! This led to an awe inspiring performance of Michaels hits, the stage was filled with dancers head to toe in MJ attire, then in one incredible swoop Janet appeared and stormed the stage performing hers and Michaels number 1 hit “Scream”. Fans were thrilled to see Janet looking amazing, she danced alongside the back dropped image of her brother and made everybody’s night! Let’s not forget in all this excitement to discuss Janet’s Hair. The edgy, new and urban up do was worn with such style and attitude. Janet had to make a statement and her whole look including her hair conveyed strength and power and Headkandy loved it! We’re all devastated to have lost our King but all hail Janet Jackson!&nbsp; <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1254237644 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1254237644&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1254237644 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 08:26:51 -0700 Pictures have been released this week of our beloved Carrie Bradshaw back in action in New York City! Sex and the City fans are delighted to see that the filming has begun for the anticipated sequel to the Sex and the City movie! Sarah Jessica Parker (SJP) who plays Carrie is looking splendid in the recent pictures.&nbsp;&nbsp;The fashion, the hair, she really can’t put a scantily clad foot wrong! I must say I was a little concerned when I saw pictures of her rocking a crazy 80’s perm but I soon became aware that this was all part of a flash back sequence in which we get to see the young Carrie move to New York looking for love!&nbsp;&nbsp;Other pictures showed the Carrie of today, filming with on screen husband Mr Big and they are looking lovely. Carrie seen in a stunning white dress and the usual designer heels and the whole ensemble is completed with an alluring full head of silky, long hair! Carrie is known for her wild mane, but time after time we see it tamed, usually in a loose curl, we just can’t get enough of her hair! I for one can’t wait to see this film, it’s so exciting to have the fabulous ladies back showing the rest of us how it’s done. Watch this space!&nbsp; <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1252078983 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1252078983&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1252078983 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 09:08:38 -0700 The X factor is back and with that comes more X factor hair for us to look at and judge! &nbsp; Dannii has returned sporting a chic and sexy bob, no doubt this will launch another bob trend similar to that we saw when Mrs Beckham had the chop! &nbsp; Here at Headkandy we’re fans of the long luscious look but we say if you’re thinking of imitating Dannii’s fantastic, sophisticated look, go for it! Years ago when hair extensions were hard to come by and difficult to use then having such a drastic hair cut would be out of the question for the risk of not liking it and struggling to grow it out! Fear not, with the help of Headkandy’s clip in extensions anyone can try out new looks and shorter haircuts because you can get it back in no time just by clipping in your extensions! Dannii’s been known to wear extensions, no doubt as soon as she grows bored of the bob we’ll see her gorgeous long hair again as if it never went away! Across the panel fellow judge Cheryl Cole has made Headkandy headlines this week when she appeared with red locks. The girls aloud beauty popped out showing off a new full head of Red hair. Reports say that Cheryl and pretty much everyone else hated this new look and so she spent 3 days getting her stunning, melted chocolate mane back to true form. Here at Headkandy we won’t criticise Cheryl’s attempt to change her look, at least she had the guts to try something new and she did it with confidence. We love Cheryl and her hair always looks fantastic, although it must be pretty easy for someone so beautiful to always look great, it looks like she’s not even trying! Well I’ll be tuning in every Saturday not only to watch the very entertaining auditions, keeping my eye open for our next star but also to get a good look at Cheryl and Dannii’s gorgeous hair! &nbsp; Stay tuned!

The big look of the moment it seems is sexy tribal chic. Up and down the most notorious high streets fabulous ladies are strutting about like they’re on a glamorous safari! For clothes we’re seeing strong, graphic prints that surprisingly work on everyone. We’re seeing beautiful, earthy tones, the warm red’s, burnt oranges, organic browns and deep greens. Why not follow the same idea with your hair colour, red’s and earthy browns and oranges can look just stunning with a full set of perfectly matched extensions. Headkandy have recently added the sassy shade “Spiced Auburn” to the shade chart! Check it out! The last few summers have seen the bohemian look hold a strong position in the world of style, this season it’s still around but with that wild, tribal edge, try a loose, messy curl and accessorise with an earthy coloured head band and throw in some wooden jewellery. Fashion and style are only what you make it and these trends won’t be around forever so make the most of it and have some fun with it!&nbsp; <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1250602048 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1250602048&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1250602048 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 06:27:28 -0700 First it was blondes, and then it was brunettes, now it’s Auburn! All I’m getting right now are requests from girls wanting the latest look! This season it’s all about that Ashlee Simpson Auburn! &nbsp; The spicy, sophisticated shade is all the rage and is set to last all through the Autumn! &nbsp; Ashlee has played with different shades in the past, from sassy, bunny, white blonde to dark, petrol black to fiery, feisty red. These days Little Miss Simpson has toned down her statement looks and gone for something a little more understated than the usual, and at Headkandy, &nbsp; we’re &nbsp; loving it! This shade brings out Ashlee’s natural beauty and helps to give her a look of youthful sophistication. Headkandy have just added the “Spiced Auburn” to the shade chart and if you’re going for that autumnal style then you’re going to need Headkandy’s Spiced Auburn extensions! &nbsp;&nbsp; <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1250601469 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1250601469&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1250601469 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 08:27:59 -0700 The circus was well and truly in town last night where ring master or in this case ring mistress Britney Spears took to the stage in style! Yes, the day had finally arrived, HeadKandy’s &nbsp; chance to see Britney perform in her Sexy Circus tour and what a night it was! I have heard all the criticism about her not singing live but after seeing the show last night I have to say who cares! I went &nbsp; to see a show and a show I saw! What a spectacle! The stage, the lights, the costumes, it was absolutely stunning! &nbsp; Britney herself was looking better than ever, she is in shape and oozing sex appeal! Always one to make an entrance Britney didn’t disappoint. The crowd were warmed up with some jaw dropping circus acts including some of the best stunts and acrobats I have ever seen, then as the lights went out and the crowd screamed, Britney appeared dressed in a ring masters coat and hat and fishnets, down she came from the rafters in a gold hoop suspended from the ceiling and she commanded the stadium with her supreme star power! Her classic, platinum locks long and flowing looked fantastic as she flicked her hair around in Britney fashion during raunchy dance routines, her extensions thick and full of shape and style, Britney did herself proud! Here at HeadKandy we’re big Britney fans and are so happy to announce that Britney Spears is officially, well and truly BACK!!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1247234544 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1247234544&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1247234544 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 07:02:24 -0700 Clip in hair extensions are so easy to use but lately I find that when it’s very early and I’ve woken up late and I’m in a terrible rush there just isn’t time! Luckily I’ve recently discovered that I don’t necessarily need to put them all in. I mean of course if I’m going somewhere special then I absolutely have to wear a full head but when it’s just an everyday casual look I’ve realised that by just putting 4 wefts in, my hair still looks lovely and long and natural, I’ve even gone as far as just putting the two top, front pieces in, giving me my usual length (which isn’t very long) but it makes it appear fuller, with a bit of hairspray and a quick ruffle I have a chic, trendy short do, that looks far more styled than it is, this is what we call lazy glam! ;) Try it! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1247074312 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1247074312&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1247074312 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 10:37:46 -0700 Starting to get bored with your blonde hair? It’s easy to grow tired of the same typical blonde shades. Highlights are timeless but when it comes to just a solid blonde colour it seems to either be ash or gold. Not any more, Headkandy stock a great range of interesting and modern tones of blonde hair. One of the great things about clip in hair extensions is that we can experiment with colour, and now that Headkandy also sell singles strips blonde clip in hair extensions it’s so easy for us to try different shades! &nbsp; We have your quaint essential “Bunny Blonde” for all those blonde addicts out there, although it’s not the typical white blonde, it has a beautiful creamy mix of white and ivory blondes, a popular choice. If it’s sophistication you’re after, then “St Tropez Blonde” is perfect. This peaches and cream blend oozes style and class and looks fantastic with summer bronzed skin. For a classic Hollywood sparkle, you’ll want “LA Blonde” this sandy shade will warm up any light blonde tones in your own hair and give you an A list look. If you’re dark and thinking of trying a blonde shade but worried about the transformation, do it gradualy, a great starting point would be “Tanned Blonde” it’s somewhere between brown and blonde and provides a subtle glow. Our latest shade and my personal favourite is the “Malibu Blonde” Malibu is the dark horse of Headkandy, a shade that appears to be basic with a beige base but when worn displays beautifully warm shades that blends in perfectly with gold’s and coppers, like couture clothing Malibu Blonde looks fantastic on!&nbsp; <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1246399725 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1246399725&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1246399725 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 15:11:07 -0700 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1244824615"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/123%20how%20to%20curl%20hair%20extensions.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="93px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> Headkandy Hair Extensions has been inundated with calls and requests for the beauty secrets of one Mrs Cheryl Cole. Everyday girls and women are asking how to get Cheryl Coles look. I can’t say I blame them, Cheryl is easily one of the most beautiful women in the world and her popularity has sky rocketed over the last year. This week Cheryl joined her fellow X Factor judges for the filming of the auditions. So before this hits our screens, I’m going to give you the Headkandy guide to Cheryl chic!   To get the same stunning depth and tone, go for Headkandy Hair Extensions shade “Melted Chocolate”. This is the typical Cheryl Cole colour, although she often changes her shade, it always comes back to the Melted Chocolate. Cheryl wears a full head, you will need a full head set of extensions, which is more than enough but for those of you with considerably thick hair that want to go for an extreme look, you can even add one or two single strips to your full head, although you really don’t need to.   For this look, you will need to opt for at least 16-18” hair extensions or even better the 20-22”, Cheryl Cole wears her hair extensions vey long and once she adds shape or curls too it, it takes some off the length so it’s best to go for the longer set. Before you start to fit your hair extensions, wash and blow dry your hair with a large round brush, the aim here is to get as much volume as you can so you might want to try a volumising product and be sure to use a heat protection spray. At the back of your parting back comb the hair and smooth over to create volume and shape in your own hair before adding the extensions.   It’s best to style your extensions before putting them in your hair. Cheryl Cole hair extensions are all about shape and bounce and an undefined curl. To achieve this, you can use a Jumbo Curling Tong (something you can also order at Headkandy). Wrap the hair around the barrel and roll all the way to the top of the weft, leave for a minute or so and delicately remove the hair from the tong but try not to unravel the curl right away. Do this to all the wefts before gently shaking out each curl then brush the curl out with a hair extension loop brush. Remember you’re not trying to get a curl, just to add a classic, bouncy shape. Spray with hairspray, just enough for a soft hold and you are ready to clip in your extensions.   Now that your hair and your hair extensions are ready you can begin to fit them. Be sure to back comb the roots of your own hair where you plan on clipping the extensions and spray with hairspray, this will not only make your clips more secure but will give the appearance of thick, full hair. Apply the full head and spray lightly with hairspray and perhaps even a little bit of shine spray. Wear as much of the hair in the front to show how full and glorious your hair is and don’t forget that this look is so fabulous, it MUST be worn with confidence! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1244824615 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1244824615&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1244824615 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 09:42:26 -0700 Britney Spears and her hair extensions have recently kicked off her comeback tour "Circus" and the sexy ringmaster is back to her fiery best in this provocative display! Britney Spears who after a rocky few months is looking incredible. Her show stopping performances are accompanied by jaw dropping costumes that sparkle and dazzle and as ever raise a few eyebrows! Here at HeadKandy Hair Extensions we've loved Britney's last few videos. The many faces and hairstyles in "Womanizer", the fantastic looks and themes of "Circus" and right now we just can't get enough of the very naughty "If U Seek Amy"! Britney's performing these great hits along with fantastic dance routines and circus like escapades at her latest concerts, and I for one can't wait to see them for myself, I've got my tickets! I'm so impressed with Britney's hair, her beautiful clip in extensions are looking perfect. They're extra long, blonde and super sexy, just as they should be! &nbsp;I will report back with details of the show and of course a full Britney Spears hair extensions update! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1244559080 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1244559080&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1244559080 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 07:04:26 -0700 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1244558619"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/cheryl%20cole%20bouffant_1244558842.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="174px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> Big hair is back! This is a fabulous look that suits all hair types including finer hair. It’s about a clean bouffant this season rather than The Amy Winehouse bird’s nest hair do.   HeadKandy sell fantastic Tigi smoothing products that help to perfectly smooth out that top layer of the bouffant so you can hide all the backcombed volume underneath. Clip in hair extensions are a great tool for achieving this look, they’re great for getting the extra volume and then you can hide the clips and wefts under the mighty bouffant!   Spring/Summer will see the curls back in full bloom! From surf girl, beach chic, to glamour puss bouncy curls, ringlets, waves, casual, sexy, anything that remotely resembles a curl is acceptable. This is great news for all us Clip in hair extension wearers as we all know it’s easier to blend and hide the wefts when we wear curls!   Side partings are going strong right now, whether you’re wearing your hair up or down. It’s smart and sexy and when done right can either give you a sassy femme fatale look or a soft feminine drape over your eyes.   This season is seeing lots of people playing with colour. Cheryl Cole’s popularity during the X factor and the arrival of new global superstar Miley Cyrus has launched a tidal wave of girls and women opting for chocolate browns with soft caramel highlights. Even the feisty blondes are warming up their frosty looks with darker, copper blonde tones. Although the blondes that just can’t give it up are playing with different shades, from ash to peach, HeadKandy are now stocking a range of interesting new blonde hair extensions, from Malibu to St Tropez, check them out!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1244558619 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1244558619&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1244558619 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 07:47:45 -0700 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1239042521"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/Ladygaga%20hair%20extensions_1239042628.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="88px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> Everybody’s talking about LADY GAGA, formerly known as Joanne Stefani Germonatta; Lady GaGa is an American Singer/Songwriter and musician becoming well known for her pop/electronica genre music. Lady GaGa not only writes and performs her own music but has also written hit songs for acts such as the Pussycat Dolls.   In 2008 Lady GaGa released her debut album “The Fame”. The release brought with it a distinctive sound well received by music fans and an accompanying look and style. GaGa is very in to fashion and claims that when she’s writing music she thinks about the clothes she wants to wear on stage. She’s all about pop performance art, and fashion and here at HeadKandy we’re loving her wildly kitsch fashion sense and stylish music videos. Lady GaGa says “I want the imagery to be so strong that fans will want to eat and taste and lick every part of us.”   Of course I can’t talk about GaGa without mentioning her immense hairstyle, that platinum blonde, poker straight bundle of hair and hair extensions that perfectly compliments her zany, retro image and attitude. Her uber blunt, thick fringe makes quite a statement and cannot be worn by anyone, it takes confidence and style, both of which GaGa has by the truckload. We say, keep your eyes on this raunchy provocative vixen, she isn’t afraid to push boundaries and could be a real trend setter! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1239042521 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1239042521&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1239042521 Mon, 06 Apr 2009 11:30:28 -0700 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1226164764"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/paris%20and%20katie%20price.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="182px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> There was an international party girl meeting this week in London at trendy Movida club as UK Glamour model and reality TV star Katie Price AKA Jordon bumped into world famous Heiress and ‘It’ girl Paris Hilton!   This was quite a meeting of minds, well of egos at least, and it seems the two quickly hit of off.   I can’t help but wonder though, what kind of conversations they might have had.   Surly hair extensions would have come in conversations or perhaps they discussed the perks of Reality TV? Jordan is still filming her TV show ‘Katie and Peter’ with husband Peter Andre, and Paris is in London to film her latest reality TV show ‘My New BBF’ (British Best Friend), which she would hope to be as popular as her previous show ‘The Simple Life’.   Maybe they discussed the Paparazzi, or did they exchange beauty secrets? Both girls are devout Hair Extension users and both looked fantastic. Paris wore a red flapper dress with an embellished neckline, her clip in hair extensions were curled into a classic shade which hinted at glamorous hair styles of the 1920’s.   Jordan wore a barely there black number and fishnets with her hair extensions styled straight. Paris normally wears her extensions in a very obvious in you face kind of way with extra length but at this event her hair extensions were much more subtly styled in contrast to Jordan’s full, straight and bouncy looking hair extensions. Could this be a friendship that will last and will Jordan be Paris Hiltons new British Best Friend? <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1226164764 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1226164764&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1226164764 Sat, 08 Nov 2008 09:19:24 -0800 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1226163806"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/Christina%20Aguilera%20Hiar%20Extensions%202.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="122px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> Sexy songstress Christina Aguilera and her Bunny Blonde hair extensions have been out of the limelight for sometime now to concentrate on gorgeous Baby son Max. Just 10 months after the little darling was born, his yummy Mummy has proved she’s got no problems jumping back in to the spot light with style!   Christina made her hot comeback at the MTV VMA’s recently, and has now performed at the Africa Rising gig at London ’s Royal Albert Hall.   Twenty seven year old Christina Aguilera has shown fans and audiences that she has no intention of shedding her ‘Dirrty’ image, as she stunned the crowds with a raunchy stage performance that included a video clip of her seemingly naked simulating sex on a sun lounger. She wore several head turning outfits that showed off her new sexy slim figure and trade mark white blonde hair extensions.   Christina Aguilera has also recently done a sexy photo shoot that again confirms this girl is still as strong and confident in her sexuality, it’s nice to see that Christina isn’t shying away from this side of her just because she’s a mum. Christina’s new image is just as fantastic as the others, and she says that being a Mum inspired her new look, and that she thinks it’s sexy and mature but also that her son brings out the child in her.  Christina Aguilera looks great with her long, straight, platinum blonde hair and clip in hair extensions. She also has the trendy chunky fringe which is a nice change, Christina looks young, preppy, cool and classy and we love it!!  <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1226163806 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1226163806&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1226163806 Sat, 08 Nov 2008 09:03:26 -0800 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1224682493"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/cheryl-cole-hair-extensions-2.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="167px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> The X factor live shows kicked off last week with audiences seeing what is probably the most talent packed line up there has ever been on the musical reality show. Cheryl Cole’s category is arguably the strongest; Cheryl bagged the under 25 girl’s category and has three potential winners amongst them. So apart from the amazing talent and great entertainment, this year’s show is also bringing some great looks and some immaculate hair!   Cheryl Cole being the most obvious of the fabulous ladies, her hair looking as gorgeous as ever, she always looks fantastic, Cheryl seems to possess the latest and most popular look for hair extensions  right now and luckily it’s a look that isn’t so difficult to achieve.   Here at HeadKandy we stock 18 inch Cappuccino Highlights extensions that are not unlike Cheryl’s. Another dazzling beauty catching our attention is Cheryl’s fellow glamorous judge Dannii Minogue; she also wears a beautiful rich shade of hair extension that you can also find by browsing through the HeadKandy shade chart.   As well as the style savvy panel of judges, we’re seeing some great make over’s and some really pretty hair on the stage with the humble contestants. Girl band ‘Bad Lashes’ who upon their first audition Louis likened to four hairdressers trying to be a girl band, which wasn’t too insulting or far from true because they do in fact have great hair. Unfortunately ‘Bad Lashes’ were first to be eliminated.   We can still see some impressive hair extensions on other acts like the Girl Band named ‘Girl Band’, and Fabulous Divas Alexandra and Laura. Week 3 should prove to be full of fantastic acts as we watch our favourite contestants return to the stage to fight for their place in the competition as well as a performance from Girls Aloud themselves! I can’t wait to see their hair, how will it compare to the looks we’ve already seen? <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1224682493 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1224682493&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1224682493 Wed, 22 Oct 2008 06:34:53 -0700 Britney Spears is back with her new single ‘Womanizer’ and finally she has a great set of hair extensions! The first release from her up and coming album ‘Circus’ is a sassy new song with an equally sassy and sexy video! Ms Spears is back to looking her gorgeous self again in this raunchy and provocative video. HeadKandy recently sent a goody bag full of fabulous hair extensions to Britney Camp.    The hair extension shades included Paparazzi Highlights, LA Blonde, Bunny Blonde &amp; Ruby Red.    We have noticed Britney slowly ascending back to her role as Pop Princess over the last few months, her image has improved remarkably and her hair in particular has been on quite a journey. We first noticed Britney looking well again during her appearance at the MTV VMA’s just a few weeks ago, with her fantastic clip in hair extensions styled beautifully with a defined S curl, and now we can enjoy the many looks that Britney has toyed with in her Womanizer Video. Although we haven’t had confirmation from Britney Camp it does look as though she is definitely sporting the same shade and realistic looking style of hair extensions which were sent to her by HeadKandy.   Britney can be seen in the video with a short black wig and geek chic glasses working the sexetary look and also in other scenes with a long choppy red wig, giving her a great contempory edge, but I have to say the big look of the video is Britney’s trademark blonde hair extensions (HeadKandy shade: Paparazzi Blonde), whether it’s during the shirt and underwear scenes or the steamy, naked sauna scenes! Britney looks fantastic as she bares all; she looks flawless once again from her fantastic, sexy figure to her incredible full, luscious hair extensions! We’re so pleased to be writing positive press for Britney, we knew she’d be back and she’s done it with style! We’ve also seen some of the promo pictures for the album and Brit looks just as hot in those as she does in the video! We can’t wait for ‘Circus’! Welcome back Britney, keep shocking us! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1224110462 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1224110462&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1224110462 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 09:46:41 -0700 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1223934454"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/headkandy-announcement.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="18px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> HeadKandy Hair Extensions  have updated the hair extension swatches and names and introduced some gorgeous new shades.  Here is a run down of the updated swatches: Soho Black - This shade remains the same, this is the blackest black hair extension which is great for anyone who dyes their hair black/jet black. Organic Black - A new addition to the HeadKandy family, this shade is great for anyone with naturally black hair or for those who dye their hair black. Espresso - This shade remains the same, a HeadKandy hair extensions classic.  Suitable for darkest brown hair. Melted Chocolate - This shade was once known as Hot Toffee, if you previously ordered Hot Toffee you now need to order Melted Chocolate. Hot Toffee - A new addition to the HeadKandy family, this hair extension shade replaces the old Deep Honey and has slightly richer tones. T anned Blonde - Another classic shade in the hair extension range, this is a dark blonde/very light brown.  Also known as a 'mousy' shade. St Tropez - A very popular shade, this multi tone hair extension has golden wheat and neutral blonde shimmers, a popular hair extensions to have your own hair matched to.  Looks fabulous with a tan. LA Blonde - Think of that classic blonde you see on the Hollywood Red Carpet, this is a very expensive looking sandy blonde. Bunny Blond e - The lightest creamy blonde available, this hair extensions shade will work well on most Playboy Bunnies Hair Extensions! Capuccino Highlights - A very versatile highlight, the swatch doesn't do this shade justice!  This hair extension is a chocolate brown base with a few blonde highlights, works well if your hair is chocolate brown, you can use Cappuccino Lowlights even if you don't already have highlights. T oasted Highlights - A trio of highlights, a chocolate, toffee and creamy hi lift blonde all on one hair extension.  (Formerly known as Highlighted Medium). California Highlights - The most popular highlighted hair extension!  Works well on 90% of hair which has standard bleach highlights with a tint. Paparazzi Highlights - Another popular highlighted hair extension, for milky blonde highlighted hair which almost looks like an 'all over' dye. Neutral Home Dye/Dye It Yourself - Not sure which shade to get, or have perhaps you have a tricky shade to match.  You can dye the hair extensions with the same dye you have on your own hair.  (only suitable for dye, you can't bleach hair extensions) Deep Ruby - Glossy, autumnal, red brown hair, a very bendable red for those with a more juicy hair shade. <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1223934454 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1223934454&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1223934454 Mon, 13 Oct 2008 14:47:34 -0700 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1223590307"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/danielle%20bux.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="108px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> I’ve been on the lookout again for the best hair and hair extensions about and I’ve spotted Gary Lineker’s fianc&eacute;e Danielle Bux, she has the most beautiful hair. &nbsp; She obviously has some hair extensions and has styled them really well with that lovely wave trickling down from a subtle bouffant. &nbsp; If you like Danielle’s luscious locks you could extend your hair with some 18inch extensions and go for HeadKandy hair extension shade ‘Melted Chocolate.’ &nbsp; &nbsp; I’ve only recently been made aware of whom she is and since then I can’t get enough of her look. &nbsp; The 29 year old soon to be footballers wife has recently accepted football legend Gary Linekers marriage proposal and is said to be the happiest she’s ever been. Well of course she’s happy, she’s marrying the man she loves and on top of that she has amazing hair, does it get any better?! Let’s just wait and see how incredible her wedding hair will be. <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1223590307 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1223590307&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1223590307 Tue, 18 May 2010 09:04:48 -0700 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1223589205"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/jlo.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="180px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> Jennifer Lopez is someone who usually has immaculate styling, she always dazzles on the red carpets, in music videos and movies. Jennifer knows exactly how to make the most of her Puerto Rican looks and curvy assets; she oozes sex appeal and style. &nbsp; However, having looked at recent pics of J-Lo I’ve found that although she’s still gorgeous, she is looking less than her best which is unusual. Mrs Mark Anthony has been seen with a new hair colour and one that unfortunately doesn’t rate very highly especially in comparison to her usual colours. &nbsp; It just has no depth, no shine, of course this could be down to the fact that Jennifer has recently given birth to beautiful baby twins Max and Emme, it is quite common for women’s hair to lose its sleek shine and bounce after pregnancy. &nbsp; Either way we’re just not loving Jennifer Lopez’s choice of colour at the minute. It doesn’t help that she’s also looking a little pale, we’re so used to seeing J-Lo looking beautifully bronzed and glowing but this just isn’t the case in these pictures, Jennifer looks washed out and her dark lipstick works in an unflattering contrast. This is I’m sure just a side step for J-Lo, she still looks pretty much gorgeous despite the iffy colourings. She rarely has a hair out of place and will no doubt be on top form and looking stunning in no time. <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1223589205 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1223589205&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1223589205 Tue, 18 May 2010 03:53:21 -0700 What’s hot this season in the world of Hair and Hair Extension s ?!   It’s autumn and all the latest trends are coming through strong.    There’s plenty of choice out there if you fancy a change and want to stay on trend.   Fringes are still going strong, the chunky/blocky fringe is a great statement look and can be versatile, and it can be worn soft, swept to the side or heavy, all forward.   We’ve already seen Samantha in Sex and the City pull off this look perfectly in the movie, and stars like Fearne Cotton &amp; Cheryl Cole truly wear it with that fashion edge.   Red hair is another big look this season, a colour that blends well with the autumnal time of year, we can see this look on celebrities like Ashley Simpson, Lily Cole and Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts. The reds are being worn not so much as the vibrant reds but as more of a natural and organic tone, there are some beautiful shades out there so crack on and maybe browse through the HeadKandy shade chart, and don’t forget if the colour you’re wearing doesn’t match any of our extensions then you can buy our dye your own sets to ensure that perfect match.   Layers it seems have always been a frequented style but this season we’re seeing layers adding texture and giving shape to any style, the great thing about this look is that you can achieve so many variations of it with your clip in extensions, your own hair can act as a layer and the extensions can be cut to different lengths to give that choppy, shapely look.   Also, summer’s over so all those summer blondes may need toning down a little now that sun tans are fading, so try adding a few warmer pieces and some subtle tones of a darker blonde weaved in and out of your existing palette of blondes, it’s perfect for that all year round on trend blonde and HeadKandy have a great selection of highlighted blonde extensions so you needn’t worry about losing that luxury.   All of these looks are proving popular and will take you right through to the end of the winter.  <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1223225298 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1223225298&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1223225298 Sun, 05 Oct 2008 09:48:18 -0700 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1223223166"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/Hedi%20montag.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="145px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> Everywhere I look there are lovely ladies with gorgeous hair. &nbsp; It used to be that we only saw such perfectly long, full heads of hair on our much loved glamorous celebs but now I can’t go out to town without seeing classy and stylish hair extensions on at least half of the ladies out there, this is no doubt thanks to the likes of HeadKandy who sell A list Hair extensions to the Z list us!! &nbsp; &nbsp; It’s fantastic, now instead of looking at stars like Paris Hilton, Jordan and Nicole Ritchie and longing for hair like theirs now we can easily achieve their looks! &nbsp; However, we still need to be on the lookout for the very best of the celebrity hair extension wearers out there in order to keep up! &nbsp; So who’s getting it spot on right now? &nbsp; &nbsp; Ok there are your obvious contenders like Paris, Nicole and Katie Price, also as I’ve mentioned, Fearne Cotton and Holly Willoughby are getting it right. &nbsp; A couple of less obvious or maybe not as well known ladies are, Reality TV star Heidi Montag and Actress Amber Stevens, these two girls keep popping up on my radar when I’m searching for the best hair styles. &nbsp; Heidi Montag’s warm and shiny platinum hair is so smooth and sleek and the perfect length and thickness and Amber Stevens exotic dark mane is stunning and works perfectly on the already beautiful vixen.

Miranda’s beautiful red hair colour and sleek styling has ensured that she looks better in this film than she’s ever done. Charlottes natural rich healthy, bouncy mane is perfect for the squeaky clean Park Avenue Princess she is, and Samantha’s Blonde bombshell, glistening locks make her every bit as sexy at 50 as she was in her 20’s! Carrie’s hair is as stunning as ever, it’s always fun to try and achieve carries look with styling and clip in hair extensions, I use my flat iron and fold my hair one way and then the other to create that natural looking wave/kink to my hair. It’s great having these four style icons to look up to but let’s start looking at the hair and not just the fashion!   Newsflash!....Rumours are ripe of a second SATC movie, and the big new is if it goes ahead we might see our favourite ladies strutting up and down the streets of London!!!!

They are the “Scene Kids” and they’re rocking trendy new hairstyles which they’re calling Scene Hair.   It’s something that’s come from the dark, quirky “Emo” craze.   Emo hairstyles have been around for a good few years now, hacked off at the back with a long piece at the front on both guys and girls, usually black or dark brown and with other vibrant colours in various streaks.   Now though we’re seeing them become more and more original. It seems the way to achieve Scene Hair is to cut your own hair short, backcomb it and then use just two or three clip in hair extensions in the back for your length.   It’s being done as a grungy look and even as a pretty, girly look, I’ve seen a few girls do it with their bleached blonde hair and with adding a little bow in the top.   There are also some really cool prints out there, raccoon tail hair extensions also known as coon tail hair extensions are quite popular, the section of hair is dyed in stripes similar to that of a Racoon.   HeadKandy Hair Extensions stock ‘Dye it Yourself’ hair which can be used to create some really amazing and original designs.   I’ve been looking at this style and have however been made aware that apparently it’s not just a look, you have to have a certain sense of style and individuality to be called a Scene Kid, so if you are thinking of trying out this look remember to put your own funky twist on it, don’t just look at someone else’s hair and copy it, as long as you backcomb and use clip in extensions you’ve got it but add your own flare, maybe a coloured extension or a sexy little headband or beautiful hair ornaments? Make it your own, stand out from the crowd! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1222364723 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1222364723&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1222364723 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 10:45:23 -0700 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1221690804"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/kylie_1274182437.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="161px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> Pocket sized glamour puss Kylie Minogue has revealed a new sexy look today (and by new look, I mean new hair style). Her sultry honey blonde and brown mane looks stunning and has I think taken years off her. This is quite a change from her quirky short blonde look and an improvement I think, very sophisticated Kylie. &nbsp; Kylie’s hair has been on quite a journey over the decades of her pop career, we all remember the now infamous perms of the 80’s!! Although I look back upon those awesome hairstyles with fondness I’m happy to say Kylie looks as stunning as ever, is there any look this siren can’t pull off?! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1221690804 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1221690804&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1221690804 Tue, 18 May 2010 04:33:57 -0700 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1221690426"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/faking-it-live-the-lie.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="162px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> When it comes to faking it, I think it’s fair to say women have very specific rules, although they’re each to their own.   What is faking it anyway is it that bad?   It seems women in today’s society choose to fake a lot more than years before.   Look around you, in fact just look in the mirror... fake tans, nails, eyelashes, contact lenses, chicken fillets, teeth whitening, even the make-up we wear is in a sense a big fat lie!     Of course for me, my biggest fake is my hair, hair extensions are my guilty secret, my lie, I wear them and my hair is thicker longer, sexier.     I love it and I don’t care if it makes me fake, after all we weren’t meant to even wear clothes were we? Did Adam and Eve wear clothes?   No, although I am sure there’s more to that story than what meets the eye!   Today clothes are considered essential, well for me, hair extensions are essential and I bet they are for a lot of other women too and why not?! So although I never fake who I am, I’ve got no qualms faking it when it comes to my hair! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1221690426 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1221690426&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1221690426 Wed, 17 Sep 2008 15:27:06 -0700 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1221074715"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/VictoriaBeckham%20Poxie.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="141px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> Breaking news! Posh has had a haircut!! Well hardly breaking news but it’s certainly something everyone seems to be talking about! Victoria Beckham has been photographed at New York fashion week sporting a risqu&eacute; pixie crop which has already been aptly nicknamed “the poxie”.   The daring new look has received a mixed response from fans and the media.   Victoria’s a shrewd business women, it seems as her new line of dresses are being launched she aptly unveils a sassy new look which comes with much media hype and press coverage for her and her gorgeous line of “Posh” dresses.     So, what do we think here at HeadKandy? Well, we love Victoria , her elegant style and class is looked upon with admiration and her latest offering is no exception. This haircut works well with her almost Elvin features, it brings out something we haven’t yet seen from the former Posh Spice. However, I have noticed that from some angles it is a little harsh and makes her face seem less soft and feminine. As much as we love Victoria’s new hairstyle, we definitely prefer the full head of extensions that just epitomised her role as Queen of the wags during the world cup.   The great thing about hair styling now is that women like Victoria and for example R&amp;B star Rihanna (who is also currently flaunting a cropped hairdo), is that they can experiment with short hairstyles now because it’s so easy to go back to that beautiful, long hair look in no time. Thanks to clip in hair extensions we can take these risks confident in the knowledge that we can get it back without all the waiting for it to grow back! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1221074715 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1221074715&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1221074715 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 12:25:15 -0700 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1220442947"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/Britney-spears-vmas-2008-Hair-Extensions.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="58px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Britney Spears is no stranger for making headlines, unfortunately over the last 18 months or so, headlines made by Britney have not been at all positive. They have done nothing but portray a troubled young woman whose family life has been in utter turmoil. This is a far cry from the Britney we all know and love. The Britney who paraded around with a snake at the VMA’s, or the Britney who put on an epic stage production for HBO in Vegas!! Poor Britney’s just been spiralling out of control, it’s hardly surprising when you look at how outrageous her life has been from a very young age, but so sad to watch. &nbsp; I think it’s fair to say, the world is rooting for Britney, although the media tear her down, they’ll also be there to pull her right back up, that’s just how it works. Fans naturally want to see Britney make a full recovery and rebuild her relationship with her family, especially her boys Sean Preston and Jayden James. Once that’s taken care of, we will undoubtedly be anticipating her next album which is said to already be in the making and Britney herself says she has high hopes and would like it to be her best work ever! &nbsp; With the 2008 VMA’s fast approaching, we can’t help but anticipate a come back performance from Britney Spears whose stolen the show many times at Previous VMA’s, however Britney camp have denied the possibility of a performance which is a shame as it would be great for Britney to redeem her bad performance at last years show. Of course there’s still a chance for a surprise performance as it wouldn’t be the first time the star has surprised us!! &nbsp; The VMA 2008 promo videos are already being shown on MTV and this years host Russell Brand is seen briefly interviewing Britney Spears who certainly looks a million times better, her hair which just a year ago was virtually non existent after she shaved her head now looks long, full and fabulous, a result of hair extensions no doubt. It’s so good to see Britney looking so well, she seems happier, healthier and like she’s getting back to the beautiful sexy Britney we’ve come to love. Let’s hope Britney continues along this path and it won’t be long before we see Britney back on top where she belongs!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1220442947 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1220442947&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1220442947 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 04:57:49 -0700 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1220440539"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/Nicole-Richie.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="86px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Clip in Hair Extensions are a Godsend. I remember when hair extensions were something only to be desired, a look that could only be achieved by the rich and famous. &nbsp; Since clip in hair extensions arrived there has been a big change in how we style our hair, with clip ins anyone can do fabulous hair!! &nbsp; Clip in extensions are so simple and they allow you to be so versatile with your look, you wear your hair extensions in the same way you would wear your clothing. &nbsp; You can go from a cute choppy bob one day to long flowing hair the next just in the same way you may wear some low key pumps one day and the next day you choose out a beautiful pair of heels. Also the styling is full of choice. Straight, curly, wavy, S curls, crimps, there’s so much to play with. I personally find that wearing my hair big and curly/wavy helps to conceal the line between my own hair and the extensions really well; it makes it harder to spot, so there’s a tip for you. &nbsp; I mean you can’t get any easier than clip ins, you can wear them everyday!! Eventually wearing them becomes almost like wearing a watch, when you don’t wear them it feels like when you’ve forgotten to put your watch on!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1220440539 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1220440539&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1220440539 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 04:15:39 -0700 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1220438258"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/Christina%20Aguilera%20Hiar%20Extensions.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="130px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} It’s no secret that the media are brutal when it comes to celebrities. The famous and fabulous it seems are expected to look perfect at all times, so when they do show themselves in public looking anything less than perfect, we act surprised! &nbsp; Come on, they’re only human. I hate it when so much emphasis is put on stars without make-up or without hair extensions; everybody makes such a fuss over how different they look at the shop to how they look on the red carpet! Well of course, they can’t be all glamorous all of the time. &nbsp; Christina Aguilera is often photographed and criticised without her make-up but Christina’s look has never been a natural look, she’s always opted for sex and glamour. &nbsp; Who cares what she looks like without make-up and hair extensions, we all know how beautiful she looks with it, that’s how she intends to look. We need to take our focus away from how stars look underneath the glamour after all it’s the glamour that makes us love them! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1220438258 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1220438258&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1220438258 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 03:37:38 -0700 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1219944253"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/girls%20night%20out.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="120px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Why must he tell me I look fine? I mean I know it’s not a negative comment, he clearly has the best intentions but come on, surely he can do better than “you look fine”. &nbsp; It’s party night, I have a gorgeous new dress, had my nails done, freshly coloured hair and more clip in hair extensions than I care to mention, styled to perfection I might add! After the best part of the day has been devoted to getting ready for my fabulous evening, I reveal the finished result to the boyfriend. I’m looking for his jaw to drop or for his eyes to widen but I got nothing! &nbsp; This does nothing for my confidence, which just moments ago as I stood in the mirror was pretty high. I am forced to prompt him, “how do I look?” I say, “fine” he says!! Come on, you look beautiful, incredible, sexy, even “you look nice” would do.

The sultry pop star that brings a youthful, trendy breath of fresh air to the show is shining on the panel each week. Of course this must be somewhat odd for the Girls Aloud singer as it was just a few years ago she found herself on the other side of the desk facing a panel of equally intimidating judges when she auditioned for Pop stars the rivals, the show which ultimately shot her and her fellow band mates to fame. &nbsp; Producers have landed themselves a winner bagging Cheryl as a judge this year; I think they’ve topped bringing in Dannii Minogue last year. Cheryl Cole is absolutely gorgeous; she almost distracts the audience from the rest of the show. I can’t stop looking at her hair, it’s just fabulous, she’s immaculate with her luxurious hair extensions, I wonder if they are clip ins. Her colour is perfect for her skin tone and the styling each week is stunning, as of next week however I will try my best to get back into the spirit of the show and stop staring at Cheryl’s hair extensions!! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1219943089 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1219943089&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1219943089 Tue, 18 May 2010 04:39:23 -0700 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1219776703"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/Hair%20Extension%20Addiction_1221690950.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="65px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> Using clip in hair extensions is like having an addiction. I’m telling you, once you start using them, it’s hard to stop! You’ll always want more, even if your hair is already long, you’ll still want it longer or thicker. It makes you want to upgrade and top up. Special occasions will come around and you’ll feel the need to celebrate and treat yourself to a new set. I don’t mind, it could be worse. My addiction isn’t bad for me and it doesn’t hurt anyone so I’ll continue to indulge in my guilt free, harmless, fabulous addiction.

The Queen of Pop released her latest album 'Hard Candy' earlier this year and the team here at HeadKandy just love how Madonna decided on such a similar name! Following the release of her latest Album Madonna plans to tour for 4 months with around 50-60 shows in total and the trek is planned to span 3 continents. News is in that tickets are selling fast and fans have been camping outside ticket offices for hours on end. The 'leaked' set list follows: 'Intro/Candy Shop' 'Beat Goes On' 'Human Nature' 'Vogue' Video Interlude 'Into The Groove' 'Heartbeat' 'Borderline' 'She's Not Me' 'Music' Video Interlude 'Devil Wouldn't Recognise You' 'Spanish Lesson' 'Miles Away' 'La Isla Bonita/Lela Pala Tute' Romanian folk interlude 'You Must Love Me' Video Interlude '4 Minutes' 'Like A Prayer' 'Ray Of Light' 'Hung Up' 'Give It To Me' Fans say 'Madonna threw her Heart and Soul into the performance, she exceeded the expectations of the audience yet again!' The stage was bookended by two gigantic letter M's which were encrusted with a Million pounds worth of Swarovski crystals. Madonna mainly wore her hair down and wavy, in line with her album it was a mixture of milky blonde and biscuit blonde tones which some added length (hair extensions of course). Madonna leaped, jumped, trampolined, pole danced and grooved from one part of the stage to another with a an energy that sucked the audience into the palm of her hands. The show came to an end with the message "Game Over" filling the screens whilst Madonna was swept away before her fans poured our of the stadium. The reviews were mixed but all in all the show was a mighty success. <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1219775364 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1219775364&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1219775364 Thu, 13 May 2010 08:08:25 -0700 Today I have been watching the Olympics, just trying to get into the spirit of things, it is all very exciting, and I opted for the very obvious and girly first choice: the gymnastics. It’s just incredible to watch, the women’s gymnastics it was, they just defy gravity, and they do it with so much grace and poise. &nbsp; However, although I watch in amazement at what is undoubtedly phenomenal talent, I can’t help but be disheartened, how can something so beautiful be plagued by something so hideous?! Scrunchies!!! They were everywhere; flying, leaping, spinning scrunchies! Colour co-ordinated scrunchies! &nbsp; They’re such dainty, pretty little girls whose pretty little heads are outweighed and overpowered by giant ugly scrunchies. It’s bad enough their flippy floppy ponytails swinging about from a scrunchie but the worst is when they have those big buns with 2 or 3 scrunchies placed over the top, just framing the bun with a double scrunchie ensemble!! &nbsp; It just won’t do. These are some of the most talented girls in the world, we shouldn’t have to see them in scrunchies, although I accept that a full head of beautiful hair extensions may not be the most practical choice when competing but surely that would be better than scrunchies?! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1219400694 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1219400694&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1219400694 Tue, 18 May 2010 04:39:54 -0700 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1219165928"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/madonna.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="92px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> Now I’ve always been under the impression that Madonna epitomised sex, sure she’s not beautiful and/or flawless but she’s sexy right? &nbsp; She’s always known what buttons to press; she’s one step ahead and certainly knows how to stir things up, reinventing herself time and time again, and looking remarkably in shape for such a mature woman, a woman of 50 no less! &nbsp; When she came back in 2007 in that leotard, amazing I thought, until to my surprise, I find that the majority of men are repulsed by her! &nbsp; What’s that about, I don’t understand, us women are still attracted to sexy men as they age, right, I mean come on, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, even Sean Connery, Harrison Ford, still hot! I know there are perhaps more beautiful older women in the public eye, the Demi Moore’s and Heather Lochlier but come on, why is Madonna so different. I know her leotards are revealing but it’s not like she has a wrinkly decrepit old body on show, she’s toned and in shape possessing a physic most women envy! So why aren’t the men attracted? Is it that a woman in her 30’s is sophisticated, in her 40’s is mature and experienced but in her 50’s is just old?! I refuse to believe this, because if that’s true then I’m halfway to being past it! &nbsp; Maybe men are just intimidated by Madonna, she is probably one of the most powerful women in the world who’s clearly very strong and secure in her sexuality, is this a turn off? &nbsp; Despite what the men think, I think Madonna looks remarkable and I’m sure she’ll keep going and continue to shock and impress, I mean right now she’s looking incredible, I’m loving her hair, the colour is a perfectly delicate and feminine shade of blonde that works great with the defined waves from root to tip, I am curious as to how she achieves such a colour on her naturally dark hair, perhaps it’s easier with a few grey hairs or could it be a lace front wig or hair extensions? Either way, I’m impressed, Madonna! Looking good! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1219165928 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1219165928&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1219165928 Tue, 18 May 2010 04:42:52 -0700 <a href="http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1218902234"><img src="http://www.headkandy.com/blog/php/Mogwai.jpg" align="left" width="120px" height="107px" border="0" alt="" style="margin: 3px 4px 3px 0;"></a> Why is it that my hair requires the same care as a mogwai?! Can’t get it wet, expose it to direct sunlight or feed it after midnight! &nbsp; If one does break these rules then a spree of vicious creatures will spawn and terrorise the city! Well not quite but there will be consequences that’s for sure. I can’t decide what’s worse, the rain or the wind? See when it rains, I just look like a drowned rat, a rat with great long hair yes but a rat nonetheless but when it’s blowing a gale, disaster, wefts are on show!!! This just wont do, but I got to thinking, if I did own a mogwai, I would have to take care to follow these simple rules right? So I’ll do the same with my hair, just take care and always be prepared. In the event of heavy rain, I’ll scrunch and call it tousled chic and as for those pesky gales, I’ll tie it back and back comb my ponytail for that “I just threw it up” look! I will make it my responsibility as the owner of such a volatile mane to always look my best come rain or shine! <br clear="all"> http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1218902234 Clip In Hair Extensions http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1218902234&comments=comments http://www.headkandy.com/documents/blog.php?entry_id=1218902234 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 10:29:15 -0700
