Hairpieces – A Growing trend

Hair pieces are the easiest way to add volume and length to your hair without costly trips to the hairdresser. No experience needed. Just a little time and very little effort involved.

They are available in human hair and synthetic hair. It’s a personal preference to which one suits you best. Human hair can require some styling where synthetic ones hold their shape without any styling at all. Years ago synthetic hair pieces didn’t look very real but these days they look nearly as good as any human hair piece. Human hair pieces are more costly but will last longer.

Managing to get a perfect pony tail or bun every time is actually impossible without a hair piece. With the hair piece you can look like you just walked out of the hair dresser. There is no denying that when we look great we certainly feel great and with that comes confidence.

Some hair pieces are attached via a claw clip or a drawstring or both. It ‘s a good idea to put you hair up in a small bun first. If you are using a claw clip then you can simply clip the claw clip over the top of your bun. And if it’s a drawstring you can put it over the top of the bun and secure it by pulling the drawstring till it feels firm. If you feel that you want more security you can use a few bobby pins to secure it in place.

And another option for those who want the quickest messy bun is the hair wraps. They are simply scrunchies with hair to wrap around your own bun. They can be as messy or neat as you like. You can throw your hair up on a hot balmy day and forget all about it while you still look glamorous and feel fresh. These pieces are my absolute favourites. I always pack one in my bag when travelling.

Matching a colour for a hair piece can be a little difficult but just a few things to take into account. Firstly, don’t forget that when you pull your hair into a bun the underneath of your hair is usually darker than the tips. So you may want to match that rather than the tips of your hair. Secondly most person’s hair is not a straight colour so sometimes if the colour match is not perfect it will probably still blend. And finally, if you use gel to put your hair in a bun then it will certainly be darker than your own hair.

Hair Pony tails are becoming a great trend for formal and informal occasions. If you look through some of the celebrities pictures at some of the high profile events, you will see lots of pony tails. Have a look at the gallery on Glamour Magazine for some of the A list Hair Trends – Pony Tails for 2014. You can acheive these looks with no costly hairdresser appointments involved. They are easy to wear and can be used over and over again.
