Glamour Waves Are Catching on Big!

by Andrea L. Algar

Glamour waves are making a statement in Europe and it's just a matter of time before the look becomes popular here in the United States.

Fingerwaves as seen
on Kate Bosworth

Think 1920's and 1930's finger waves. These were gentle, neat, very deliberate, set waves that screamed sophistication and a sexiness that was alluring and enticing and dominated hairstyles of the day. Typically seen in much shorter hair in those days, the modern version got its start with celebrities wearing bobs and shorter hair (see photo of Kate Bosworth at right).

Now, a variation of this style is making waves and has been adapted and used on women with long hair and in particular with those who wear hair extensions.

The style takes a bit of practice, but once you've done it a few times, you'll find it one that can be done quickly and lasts. Polished - sophisticated - pretty. Try it and see what reactions you get. Extensions of Yourself offers quality hair by Hairdreams and Great Lengths that comes in a wide variety of lengths and colors so you can create this look.

Get ready - this look is coming and it's going to be HOT!

Hairdreams Hair Extensions used in movie The Hunger Games

Hairdreams announced today that Christopher Dove used Hairdreams hair to create more than 200 wigs and hair pieces for the movie.

Hollywood celebrities are certainly not new to the quality found in Hairdreams hair extensions, but this project is huge in scope and diversity. The screenshot of the release on fanpop.com shows just a small sampling of the styles created for The Hunger Games.

Christopher Dove is co-owner of The Doves Studio in Santa Monica, California. He and his wife Sonya are widely recognized as one of the hair industry's most sought-after stylists. They had been selected to provide hair services for the movie, and selected Hairdreams as their choice of hair for use in the wigs and hair pieces specially designed for the movie.

Hairdreams provides some of the highest quality 100% human hair for hair extensions available worldwide. I use Hairdreams at my specialty salon, Extensions of Yourself, for my San Antonio hair extension clients who prefer the very best.
