Does She Or Doesn't She Wear Hair Extensions, Part III

BellaSugar — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 12:00:41 -0700

Ok, seriously - do all celebrities wear hair extensions? I used to believe the answer was no, but thanks to all of the insight from Sheila Stotts, I'm beginning to think otherwise. The gang from Gossip Girl wear them, as do all of the famous faces from part I and part II of my celebrity hair extension quizzes. Even if these people currently aren't extending their hair, they've at least worn them at some point in their career.

Since you can't seem to get enough, here's another quiz to feed your curiosity. Just answer whether you think the celebrity is currently wearing extensions or not.

Does She or Doesn't She Wear Hair Extensions?

BellaSugar — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 15:00:29 -0800

The other day I told you about professional hair extensions guru Sheila Stotts. She is revered in Hollywood as "the hairdresser's hairdresser," because it is in her chair that the first steps of hair magic begin. Sheila lays the foundation by attaching extensions and providing a preliminary cut and/or color before A-listers pay a visit to their favorite specialists for the finishing touches.

She often works closely with Chris McMillan, Byron Williams, and Frédéric Fekkai. Her clientele is quite impressive - and lucky for us, she's not afraid to dish about their hair. Can you guess which celebrity is currently wearing hair extensions? Take this quiz to find out!

The Reality Behind Nicole Richie's Hair

BellaSugar — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 13:00:47 -0800

Most people think that extensions are heavy and flow all the way down your back, but that's not always the case. Take Nicole Richie, for example. Some of you already guessed from my quiz about celebrity hair extensions that she even wears them in her bangs!

Sheila Stotts, who has been styling Nicole's hair for five years, adds piecey extensions all over her head and to her bangs to create that amazing sweep she's known for.

Since Nicole's hair is pretty thin, she needs extra volume. Sheila uses a razor to cut the ends and then shapes the hair with scissors. She also colors her hair a soft shade of honey-blond and works in random toffee low-lights for depth and edginess.

Do You Prefer Pixie Geldof With Long or Short Hair?

BellaSugarUK — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 04:30:00 -0700

Over the weekend at the Reading and Leeds Festival Pixie Geldof arrived with newly blonde-again hair in long extensions. This look is quite a dramatic change from her typical super-short crop. I don't know about you, but I'm starting to get whiplash from trying to keep up with Pixie and Peaches' ever changing haircuts and hair colours. What do you think of this longer look on little sis Geldof? Do you find it flattering or do you prefer her hair shorter?

All About Lauren Conrad's Extensions With Stylist Kristin Ess

BellaSugar — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 08:00:00 -0700

Kristin Ess of Warren-Tricomi Salon in LA has styled everyone from Rachel McAdams to the runway models at Marc Jacobs, but she's also known for her work on The Hills, and for Lauren Conrad's styles in particular. So when I found out that Lauren's perfectly natural-looking hair was actually Kristin's perfect extensions, I really wanted to speak with her to get the scoop about them. To find out how Ess works her magic, read more.

You created LC's extensions and her look. How did you start out using them on her?

The thing about extensions is that you have to have the exact right kind for your hair. When I started working with Lauren, she had a thicker kind of extension, and because she went to so many events, we were styling her hair a lot. Because of the texture of her hair, though, we kept having to hide the extension if she wanted to put it into a ponytail. We always had to leave a little bit of a poof and couldn’t do a tight ponytail, either, because the extension would pop out sometimes, or you would just see a lump. We were working around the extensions, basically, instead of the hair working around us. I told her, "Listen, I really want to put my thinner extensions in your hair." She had never heard of them, but she said "OK, I trust you. Let’s do it." So, we took the thick extensions out, we put the thinner ones in, and she's never taken them out since.

I had no idea they were extensions until recently.

You know what's so funny? I do a lot of interviews about Lauren’s hair, and sometimes people are like, "What do you mean she has extensions? Oh, I thought that was her hair." Meanwhile, people don’t realize that her hair is actually about to her collarbone.

How do you keep the extensions seamless and blend in the ends when her actual length is that drastically different? That’s hard to do!

Particularly with the extensions - first and foremost is color matching. I pride myself on that, because I can color match your hair exactly. You can always see extensions when they aren't perfectly color matched. So that's one, and the other is the placement. There's a certain way that you have to place the hair, and a pattern that you put them in. To have extensions look natural, you have to leave a little bit more room in certain places and put a few closer together. The reason that the ones I use are so great is that they're in two and half inch panels, and I can basically place them wherever I want.

I've got lots more from Ess regarding extensions, from the different varieties to how to care for them. Stay tuned for the additional details of our interview to come.
