How-To: Create Colorful Temporary Hair Extensions

Kate Freund is a comedic artist/writer/all-around talented lady who I found through her super-cute Magnetic Fields video. Most of her videos involve acting or music, but this one is a more straightforward tutorial on creating clip-in hair extensions. Kate dyes hers pink, but obviously you can go with any color you like. She's cute and easygoing, so check her out:

Hair Extension Advice from Celebrity Hair Stylist Ted Gibson

by Cat Lincoln

celebrity stylist ted gibsonWe are loving Katie Holmes' return to long, luscious locks. After going mad for cropped looks like Katie's previous bob, and trendsetting Victoria Beckham's short do, we suddenly crave a big, full head of hair. Time for extensions!

The thing is, professional extensions like Katie's can cost $1,500, or more. So we turned to celebrity hair stylist Ted Gibson, who works with long haired beauties like Anne Hathaway, Debra Messing and Angelina Jolie. His new line,Ted Gibson Clip-in Extensions, lets you get that salon transformation at a fraction of the cost.

We asked Ted for his thoughts on the long hair trend, advice for doing it ourselves, and tips for keeping our extensions fresh, pretty and flirty.

StyleList: Katie Holmes' new long hair is so pretty! What are your thoughts about her new look?
Ted Gibson: I think 2009 is about hair augmentation. Clip it in, clip it out. That's what's so hot about this look. You don't have to be a slave to your short hair -- you can enhance it anytime you want. Something like my new line of clip in extensions lets you get fullness or length instantly at home.

StyleList: Who else in Hollywood has great extensions? Or just great long hair that we should all try to copy?
Ted Gibson: Gabrielle Union, Ashley Simpson, Lindsey Lohan, Sarah Jessica Parker, Halle Berry

StyleList: What are your tips for finding a stylist who can do extensions right?
Ted Gibson: Ask around -- it's the best way to find that perfect extension specialist. The internet is also a great resource. Google!

StyleList: What are your thoughts about at home extensions/clip ons?
Ted Gibson: They are the best because you don't have to be stuck with them. If you change your mind, or want a different look, you can do it at the drop of a hat. It's so great to be able to change your look in less than 10 seconds!

StyleList: What are your best tips and tricks for making extensions last longer?
Ted Gibson: Brush them and if you use a lot of product wash on a regular basis with a gentle shampoo.

StyleList: What are some common mistakes people make?
Ted Gibson: Wrong color is the most common mistake. The ones that I have are blends so it makes it a little easier to get the right color match.

StyleList: Your extensions sound great! Tell us a little more about them.
Ted Gibson: Glad to! The collection is called Ted Gibson Clip-in Extension Systems™ and the pieces are incredibly versatile.

They are luxurious and lightweight, and made of "heat style-able memory" synthetic hair, so you can curl them for one look today, and go for a silky straight look tomorrow. And they are very affordable -- the suggested retail is just $149.

They can be put in and taken out in a matter of minutes and come in eight colors, each one named for someone you might recognize:

  • Reese – Light Medium Golden Blonde
  • Lindsey – Honey/Strawberry Blonde
  • Jennifer - Light Blondish/Brown
  • Julia – Warm Caramel/Medium Brown
  • Marcia – Copper/Golden Red
  • Angelina – Chocolate/Dark Brown
  • Debra – Rich Red/Auburn
  • Gabriel – Darkest Espresso Brown

StyleList: When and where can we find this magical hair you describe?!
Ted Gibson: I am launching them on QVC on March 28th.

StyleList: We just set the DVR. Thanks for taking the time to chat and share your expert knowledge!
Ted Gibson: My pleasure, anytime!
