> EXTENSIONS
1. Cookie Lyons, the grand dame ex-con matriarch of the runaway TV smash soaper Empire (played by Taraji P. Henson), is a memorable character who works her hairdresser hard. The hairstyles — from prim topknot to waist-length side ponytail, to natural waves, to an Old Hollywood glam swoop — require extension ingenuinity.
2. Beyoncé, known for her playful Instagram sleight of hand, titillated fans with the pixie crop heard around the known universe back in 2013. She debuted the extreme cut and then the star was snapped by paparazzi just a week later with a bob. She is known for switching up her longer, lusher stage looks with the help of an extension team.
3. Rihanna is one of the stars most open about her usage and devotion to the variety of looks you can get with hair extensions, weaves and wigs. Her haircolour is constantly changing, from red to black, to blue to ombre. Her hair length jumps back and forth from closely shorn crop to waist-length, from curly to straight and back again.
4. Kim Kardashian famously added masses of clip-in extensions for her May 2014 Paris wedding-a-ganza to Kanye. She had cropped her hair to a more fashionable long bob as she emerged as a Vogue cover-girl, but for her third walk down the aisle she went to the max with volume and length and a retro ’60s style teased skyward from the crown.
5. Victoria Beckham. When she was just a Spice Girl and not yet Mrs. B the fashion designer, Posh had a chin-length bob so precise it could cut glass. These days the mother of four is constantly mixing up her look and length with extensions. She is so open about their use that she Instagrams selfies from the hair chair while being supplemented.
