Hair Extensions: Trends For Summer 2011

With the summer months come the summer tunes of the year, introducing us to some of the most fashionable and on-trend music videos of 2011. Following her recent success with the song of the summer, Jennifer Lopez has received a huge amount of exposure as her music video is played on a myriad of channels. However, as a result, women from across the globe have begun to covet the style JLO exudes, meaning that this summer, it is possible we will witness a number of women who are all sporting  JLO-inspired beach babe waves.

Jennifer Lopez is just one of the many celebrities who are sporting sun-kissed, long beach babe locks which have been achieved using a number of hair extensions in a range of honey-blonde hues. It is only by investing in some of the best hair extensions on the market, such as Great Lengths, and expertly combining a great mix of colours that this gorgeous look can be achieved. Not only does Miss Lopez’s hair appear longer, but it is also boosted with volume, texture and beautiful, natural shine.

Hair extensions are utilised by celebrities on both sides of the pond and in recent months it has become apparent just how many turn to this innovative hair accessory as a means to instantly change their hair from short and chic to luscious and long. Before her natural hair grew to its current length, fashionista Victoria Beckham utilised hair extensions as she made the transition from short bob to long locks. Cheryl Cole has also been acknowledged as a fan of hair extensions, even dying hers a vivid shade of cherry red which helped to show the versatility of professional hair extensions.

Hair extensions in 2011 will continue to incorporate attachment methods that are kind to the hair and help to eliminate pulling or breaking of the natural hair. As no glue or sewing of the extensions are used, hair is quickly applied and as the summer draws to an end, the extensions can be easily removed using bond dissolvent. What’s more, professional hair extensions can be reused if cared for correctly, meaning that even after summer is long gone, you can still emulate the look of goddess.

Summer 2011 hair trends will see long and textured extensions but along with the skin-kissed tresses sported by JLO, we can also expect to see a rainbow of vivid colours. As we continue throughout the year, hair will move from light, sun-kissed shades to deep reds, warm blonde shades and rich, chocolate browns. If mixed with lighter strands of extensions, these warmer shades can still be implemented during the summer months. Coloured extensions have become increasingly popular thanks to celebrities such as Katy Perry who have utilised them in order to add a pop of colour in their hair without the commitment of hair dye. Purples, blues and reds are extremely popular and are guaranteed to be found amongst those attending the music festivals of 2011.

Over recent years, the hair industry has begun to embrace collaborations of traditional, natural hair with bright, vivid colours. Long hair extensions are expected to stay on trend for the foreseeable months but it is likely that as the weather heats up, so will the colours sported by extension wearers everywhere!
