Looking for a new hairstyle for longer hair? Then wait no more, we have compiled a list of new hairstyles to try out on your long locks. Ranging from blunt fringes to faux bobs you are sure to find a style to suit you.
Sweeping hair to the side:
Following in the footsteps of Kristen Stewart's latest hairstyle is to sweep hair to the side. You can either go with your natural texture, or spritz a salt-water spray onto strands, and scrunch from ends to roots. Then, choose your best side and sweep your strands across to the opposite side.
The blunt fringe:
Like Zooey Deschanel, give your extra long locks a shake up with a freshly cropped fringe. Ask your hairdresser to snip the centre pieces so they fall right below your eyebrows, while the outer ones should be slightly longer.
The faux bob:
The style recently donned by Selena Gomez is easier than it looks: Simply pull sections of your hair up into itself and pin it with hair grips underneath your hair. This creates illusion of you having or not having a haircut.
Poker straight hair:
Achieve poker straight hair like Beyoncé's. To prevent frying your hair with your straighteners, use a protective spray before straightening.

A new year, new you! What better way to start the new year than getting up to date with the latest hair trends to hit 2013. Various hair trends for 2013 include platinum blonde, the side part hairstyle, and the fringe.
Platinum Blonde
Never is the platinum blonde look out of fashion; another way of saying that the look is a trend for 2013. The trends most recent poster girl Ruby Jean Wilson opted for the look, channeling the 1960’s factory girl sentiment.
Thinking of changing your hair colour? Looking for a hair colour that will make you stand out? Platinum blonde is the choice for you as it sets you apart from the crowd.
Side Part Hairstyles
It is going to be hard to ignore the side parting as a statement hairstyle this season. With side parted hairstyles you can wear it left, right, up, down, wet, dry, when you’re in a hurry or taking your time. It doesn’t matter if you have short or long hair either! To a side parting even the tightest of curls will be receptive to this hairstyle, providing the right hair product is used.
The Fringe
The question to ask is, has the fringe ever gone away? The answer: no. It hasn’t really changed for 2013 either. The fringe this year is best worn thick, blunt, and long (preferably sweeping the top of the eyes).
It is best worn with a messy, textured, neo-bohemian, grungy edge swept haphazardly with a little peek-a-boo curtain.

This week we thought we’d give you some tips on how to care for your hair extensions. It is important to care for your extensions all year round as both cold and hot weather can cause damage. Below are some tips to follow when caring for both clip in and weft extensions:
Clip-In Extensions - Washing:
- Carefully detangle the hair extensions from clips to ends with a wide tooth comb.
- Holding your hair extensions from the clips, apply a gentle flow of water, allowing it to run down the length of the hair.
- Using tepid water carefully shampoo the hair with either moisturising or detangling shampoo. Without rubbing of twisting the hair, gently squeeze out the shampoo from clip to ends.
- Rinse with clean, tepid water.
- Gently squeeze out the excess water and pat/towel dry. Avoid rolling or rubbing the hair dry in a towel.
- Again, with a wide tooth comb carefully detangle the hair. Start with the ends and gradually move upwards to remove any tangles, be careful not to pull too hard. Do not brush when wet!
- Let the hair extensions air dry. If you don’t have much time you can blow dry, make sure you use a low or cool setting.
- When the hair is completely dry, store with clips closed to avoid tangling.
Weft Extensions:
Weft hair extensions can either be clipped in or sewn in. For clip in weft extensions you can follow the above steps to maintain your hair. Below are some tips you can follow when caring for sewn in weft extensions:
- At night wrap your hair in a silk scarf and stocking (stocking is to keep the scarf in place).
- Try styling your weave a maximum of twice a week.
- Try not to put your hair into a ponytail too often or too tight.
- If your weave is curly then part into four sections at night to ensure no tangling.
- At least once a week go through your rows and apply a moisturising hair and scalp cream.
- Don’t put any type of grease or oil on your weave, i.e. olive oil sheen.
- Shedding of extensions is normal as extensions have been cut at the track.
- When sleeping make sure the closure piece is held down firmly.
I hope these hair care tips will come in handy and extend the life of your hair extensions. For more information about clip in and weft hair extensions visit our website at:

Get ready for 2013 with the new hair trends for Spring! Out goes the french twist, side waves and mod bob and in with the new. The hair trends for the new year include the knot, low pony and the slick. Just to name a few... In this post we will show you the latest hair trends to hit the catwalk ready for 2013. This years hair trends are simple but complex and can be achieved easily at home. Why not ring in the New Year with a hairstyle ready for 2013.
The Knot
The best way to describe this tightly wound knot is simple but striking. It is a very wearable style and can be created easily. To achieve this look:
- Blow-dry your hair straight.
- Centre part your hair (if you want to).
- Secure hair into a firm ponytail at the nape and spritz with shine mist.
You have then created the look and you can choose to wrap the tail into any look that you prefer, e.g, a loop with the ends pointing up or tucked under, a round ballet bun, or the classic double knot. Seal your hair with a spritz of anti-frizz spray.
The Braid
Throughout every season the braid has been appealing. It is so simple yet it can really provide a dramatic effect to your look. To achieve this look:
- Gather a small section of your hair (from the root) and divide into three sections.
- Take one of the outer sections and cross over the middle section, then take the other outer piece and wrap it over the middle section.
- Continue repeating these steps and tie with a small elastic hair band.
Your look is complete. You can braid any part of your hair in any place you want it to be. You can even clip it to the opposite side of your head.
The Low Pony
The defining points of the modern ponytail is that they are positioned low and hovering either just at or below the nape, and ironed straight to emphasis the length of the pony. To achieve this look:
- Straighten your hair, use a heat protection serum before doing so.
- Gather your hair into a low ponytail, fastening at the nape.
- If you are looking to shape your face you can pull a few strands forward.
You have now achieved the low ponytail. You can choose from a selection of hair bands including a wide hair band and even ribbon.
