HAIR GETS WAISTED
Sometimes you just want your hair to swish.
And this season’s new XXL hair length – which skims the hips, is styled poker straight or with a flat wave (flave) and worn with a middle parting – gives super swish.
Xtra Xtra Long hair is definitely back. Serial 'internet-breaker', Kim Kardashian-West, made it official when spotted with longer-than-ever hair early this year. And it didn't take much longer for everyone else to snatch up waist-length extensions. Kylie Jenner, another hair chameleon, was obviously inspired by her elder sister, taking to social media to debut her equally glossy, straight locks.
Nobody does festival-wear better than the Queen of Boho, Vanessa Hudgens. Her waist length hair is styled with the middle parting but with a flat wave, perfect for the upcoming summer party season!
Waisted fans: Kim Kardashian-West, Vanessa Hudgens, Naomi Campbell, Kylie Jenner working the mermaid look this year.
“It’s ‘look at me’ hair.”
“It’s exaggerated, unapologetic and impossible to ignore. But there’s a fine line between owning this look and getting it wrong. No-one wants to look like an extra on a reality TV show. The trick is to blend the extensions with your natural hair and to taper the ends so they look a bit raw and imperfect. Hair longer than the waist or over-styled with a tong and you’ll definitely be in TOWIE territory. Instead keep the hair soft, straight, sleek.”
- Hadley Yates, stylist at Daniel Hersheson.

OPTION 2:
CLIP IN HAIR EXTENSIONS
For those who like to switch up styles quickly and often, clip in extensions work a charm!
Extreme-long hair that looks dry or scraggly at the bottom is so noticeable and a massive no-no, so it's essential to only use the highest quality of hair extensions with this trend.
