Important: We will be closing our online store as we are relocating our trading promises, we will be closed from the 9th of December and hopefully reopening just after Christmas.
The reason for relocating is so that we can expand to offer more choice in colours and later offer more ranges.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused and like to say a huge thank you to all of our customers.
Anyone can wear a weave but not everyone does so beautifully!
Sowetan compiled a list of celebrities with beautiful hair and those with bad weaves.
Pam Andrews has to take first place. She is the queen of beautiful weaves. There is never an instance when Andrews has a bad hair day.
Bonang Matheba takes the next slot. Her hair is always glowing, long, silky, and shiny.
Simphiwe Ngema never has a strand of hair out of place. This Muvhango beauty invariably looks clean and refined.
Forget about her shenanigans,
Nonhle Thema knows how to pull off a good weave. She always looks as if she has just stepped out of a salon.
To talk about celeb hair and not mention Miss SA Bokang Montjane and her gorgeous hair would be a crime. She really knows how to take care of a weave.
Former Miss Soweto Lerato Kganyago never seems to have a hair out of place.
Even beautiful celebrities have bad hair days. Think about Minenhle Dlamini. Though she has nice weaves she sometimes does not take care of them. We blame the tomboy in her.
We all have bad hair days but Public Protector Thuli Madonsela, takes it to a whole new level. I don’t remember a day when she did not have weave woes.
I hate admitting it, but Linda Sokhulu has some really beautiful hair - it just does not work on her.
These days Katlego Danke does not seem to get her extensions right. Her hair is depressing.
We do not know if that is Lindiwe Mazibuko’s real hair or not, but what we do know that it does not look good. The growth is so gross.
It’s hard to believe that there was a time when we totally coveted Sophie Ndaba’s hair. But the decades-long sporting of fake hair has eaten away her hairline.
Dineo Ranaka is a repeat offender when it comes to choosing bad weaves. She has sported many questionable hairstyles lately.
Frankie Sandford, the girl with the most-copied haircut in celebland, has changed her look yet again!
The Saturdays hairstylist Nick Peters at Daniel Galvin has added extensions to turn Frankie’s sophisticated bob for the new season.
To get the look, ask your hairdresser to give you a jaw-length asymmetric bob with a low side-parting, sliced into at the ends for a sleek shape.
To style it, simply dry on a low heat, smooth with a round brush and blast with shine spray.

Kristen Stewart was photographed leaving Bumpkin, A Taste of Seasonal Britain restaurant in London on Tuesday, September 13th with her rumored boyfriend Robert Pattinson and his agent Grace Clissold.
Stewart had her hair in a ponytail and sunglasses on when she left the restaurant but fans could tell that the actress had hair extensions in and her hair was a much darker brown.
She may have left her hair extensions in for her role as Snow White in Snow White and the Huntsman, which she is currently filming in and around London with Charlize Theron, Nick Frost and Chris Hemsworth. They have been filming since early August. She was also photographed in her usual EC Star ‘Nuns With Guns’ hoodie and an Adidas shirt.
Suzanne Shaw’s husband, DJ Jason King, recently hit the headlines for having his thinning hair enhanced with a hi-tech hairpiece. Not wishing to be outdone, singer and actress Suzanne has opted for her own set of hair extensions, giving her naturally blonde locks a boost in readiness for her 30th birthday party later this month - and for her forthcoming role as Cinderella in panto.
Suzanne told a local newspaper that she was delighted with the results for both her and Jason. “They just look and feel so natural,” she said. “It’s given Jason a real confidence boost. And now my hair is all ready for panto!”
Suzanne has recently departed TV soap Emmerdale (where she played man-eater, Eve Jenson) because she wanted to spend more time with her hubby and her six-year-old son Corey – from her previous relationship with Darren Day
BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — A Boulder company that sells popular feather hair extensions faces a legal challenge from an animal-rights group.
The Daily Camera newspaper reports on Friday that people for the Ethical Treatment of Animals filed a false-advertising complaint against the company Fine Featherheads. The company’s website says the feathers used for the hair accessories are from “cage-free” roosters that are “treated ethically.”
A PETA lawyer says the company providing its feathers, Whiting Farms in Delta, doesn’t keep the roosters out of cages. The Fine Featherheads website has since been changed.
The newspaper could not reach the company nor the farm for reaction. Boulder County District Attorney Stan Garnett said the county is evaluating the complaint.
Despite the demand, this is why we at HairXtensions.co.uk refuse to sell feather hair extensions!
Nicole Scherzinger has that annoying knack of looking fantastic in whatever she wears. And she did not disappoint at the recent Fuse Top 20 Countdown in New York last week. The US X-Factor judge showed she had curves in all the right places with a strapless grey and red pencil dress, which she accessorized with a pair of killer heels and, of course, her ultra-glossy hair extensions, which always complete her sassy style.
The X-Factor has increasingly become all about the judges and how they look. The outfits and hairstyles have been known to grab the headlines just as much as the singing hopefuls – both here in the UK and stateside.
We’ll be watching with interest how newcomers Kelly Rowland and Tulisa of N-Dubz fare with their styling choices in the coming weeks.
Celebrities such as Cheryl Cole, Beyonce and J-Lo have pushed up sales of human hair extensions by more than 160% in the UK, according to a recent report. Britain is now the third largest buyer of hair extensions, just behind the US and China.
When it comes to colours, blonde is leading the pack, with half of all girls opting for shades of platinum and honey. It is of course the easiest shade to add dye to, to match your own natural colour. Only seven per cent of women went for brown hair extensions, according to the findings from the Alibaba.com survey.
Interestingly, curly or wavy hair extensions are growing in popularity. We’ve seen many celebs such as SJP, Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez stepping out with more voluminous styles and now it would seem that 8 out of 10 girls buying hair extensions are shunning poker straight in favour of waves.
Feather hair extensions have become a fashion phenomenon in recent months. The trend was most recently made popular by celebrities, such as Steven Tyler and Ke$ha, but arguably first created by famed Native American princess Pocahontas. They are stylish and affordable accessories that allow young women to express their individuality on campus through the use of different colors and feather types.
The process is simple. Stylists attach the feathers to hair with micro-bead. The feather extension can last for up to four months without damage, even after repeated washings. The feathers were in such demand over the summer that even fly-fishing shops were in the money-making business by selling the feathers they normally made lures out of to salon owners who ran out of supplies.
Kristen Crandell, senior in education, doesn’t see the appeal of making the bolder statement.
“The bright ones make it look overdone,” she said. “The neutral, natural ones are cool.”
Lyndi Stucky, sophomore in open option, agreed that overdoing the trend can turn out tacky.
“One or two are cute, but if it looks like they killed the whole turkey and put it in their hair, it’s not stylish,” she said.
Environmental activists have also spoke against the recent trend.
“Would you support the slaughter of thousands of animals each week just so that you could jump on board with the latest fashion trend?” a PETA article asked.
Feather suppliers are trying to keep up with the rise in demand for their products and many more roosters are being killed in the process.
The trend won’t stop easily, though. New clients are getting feathers in their hair daily, not worrying about where the product came from.
But Crandell and Stucky both agreed it is too late now to join the fashion frenzy.
“If you haven’t already tried it you’re just attaching yourself to the trend now,” said Crandell.
The fear of looking like a poser could stop some potential newbies from flocking together on the feather bandwagon. Just like trends before, from Uggs to legwarmers, there are going to be people who don’t understand the appeal.
“If it’s you, go ahead and do it. If not, then don’t attempt. It’s all or nothing,” said Tim Sherman, senior in architecture. “Anybody who doesn’t have the full hippie ensemble doesn’t pull it off.”
There are many opinions on who should or shouldn’t wear the popular extensions, but there is no denying how much of a phenomenon the trend has become. Whether it will last another year or fade away within the month is a question up for debate. K-State student Sarah Farmer doesn’t see the trend lasting much longer.
“Within a year they will probably come out with the same idea, but with a different twist,” she said.
No one knows for sure what the next trend will be, but according to Crandell, tinsel may be the new fad. Maybe it is nearly time to say “bye bye birdie” and hello to the next big thing in hairstyling.
Paris Hilton got out of jail, then immediately got back to… well, being Paris, summoning a hair salon van and, by her mere presence, creating a traffic jam that angered her neighbours.
It appeared that the socialite’s plans to serve God, perhaps by creating a halfway house for former ex-convicts, would have to wait at least a day as she readjusted to the simple life of fame and celebrity.
“There’s not going to be a press conference today. I just spoke to Mr Hilton. They have no plans to make any statement,” police Sgt Anthony Roberts told the media scrum outside the front gate of her grandparents’ estate in Los Angeles.
Although Paris, 26, kept out of sight, her presence was still clear up and down the block, from the TV satellite vans to the fast food lunch that was passed along to the assembled masses outside.
“Delivery for Paris from Taco Bell,” one of two delivery people who arrived with bags of food said into the intercom outside the front gate.
“Thank you. Give it to the media and the police,” a voice from inside the mansion replied.
As she stayed inside throughout the day, more than a dozen cars pulled up to the gate and were quickly buzzed inside.
At one point, a black Cadillac Escalade carrying balloons and a cake with the words ‘Welcome Home’ in pink frosting arrived. At another, a van from DreamCatchers Hair Extensions, for which Paris is the celebrity frontwoman, passed through the gates.
DreamCatchers receptionist Crystal Armijo confirmed the heiress was having extensions added to her hair.
