Everything you need to know about wedding hair extensions, from choosing the right type of hair extensions for you, to using hair extensions to make your dream bridal hairstyle a reality.

It’s important to choose extensions that match their hair colour, texture, and thickness to ensure a seamless blend. Brides should also think about the longevity of the extensions - do they want them just for the big day, or something more long-term for the honeymoon and beyond? Comfort and durability under different weather conditions are also key considerations.

"The choice of hair extensions really depends on the hairstyle, but most brides prefer something discreet. That’s why our micro rings and keratin tips are the most popular options, because they're lightweight, virtually invisible, and perfect for styles like updos or half-up, half-down looks.”

"We typically recommend having the extensions fitted about a week before the wedding. This ensures they still look fresh, while giving the bride time to get used to them. If any adjustments are needed, we have time to tweak the placement or make changes.”

Extensions are incredibly versatile and can elevate almost any bridal hairstyle. They’re perfect for Hollywood waves, boho braids, classic chignons, and romantic half-up, half-down styles. For updos, extensions can add much-needed fullness and structure, while for loose styles, they offer that luxurious, voluminous look many brides dream of. The key is to use extensions strategically to enhance the natural hair, not overwhelm it.

"Having previously had nano-bond and weave hair extensions, I couldn't believe how light the tapes felt on my head. They are incredibly comfortable, and I barely notice they are there. The application process was quick and easy, with no pulling or discomfort. They blend seamlessly with my natural hair, and the tapes stay secure without causing any damage. These extensions have definitely been a game-changer for me!"
