The show displays a vast array of specially made designs for social events like debutante balls, royal state occasions and red carpet events spanning 60 years.

Most people are excited by the idea of a fairytale evening, of choosing a gown that shows their level of taste that makes them look their best and presents them in their finest attire, Stanfill told Reuters.

But the exhibition isn’t all about parties and layers of tulle and froth, added Stanfill, who said she discovered a layer of subversion beneath Atsuko Kudo’s design, which appears to be lace but is made from latex.

“One of the things I have really enjoyed working for on this show, is notion of subversion…It’s more than just a dress, it’s that one element of surprise that I have really enjoyed discovering,” Stanfill said.

“British design, you think you know what it’s all about and then something comes along and upends your preconceived notions.”

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Vidal Sassoon, hair stylist and fashion world icon who created a natural look in the 1960s and built a multi-million dollar business on his name, has died of apparent natural causes at his home in Los Angeles. He was 84.

The British stylist’s scissors spelled the end of the 1950s-era beehive and the bouffant – untouchable hairstyles that owed their existence to lacquer and hair pins – and brought him international fame and fortune.

Sassoon was dubbed a pioneer by many for coming up with so-called wash and wear looks – liberating many women from weekly salon trips to have their hair done.

Apart from hairdressing interests, he set up the Vidal Sassoon Foundation to help the needy in educational pursuits both in Israel and abroad.

Sassoon is survived by three children and his wife, Rhonda.

Pharrell Williams dyes his hair green.

We all love a man that can stand out from the crowd.

Loving the new look!!

Stand out with the Big hair look,

What you need for this, Lots and lost of hair extensions!!

Best to get a very good quality hair extension as when you use alot of hair it tends to be harder to manage and tangles easily, so aviod using synthetic hair or fake human hair for this look as you will be left with a tangled mop very quickly.

Are you tired of just having  a regular curly hair style,  which is either center or side parting,  then try a quiff to add abit of style to it.

How to create a curl quiff

1 Apply mousse, then tip head upside down and use a diffuser to dry the curls before backcombing hair from the front.

2 Using a bristle brush, smooth sides of hair upwards, working backwards and spritzing with hairspray to keep hair in place.

3 Secure sides of hair with grips, crossing for maximum hold. Define the shape by pulling into place while spritzing with hairspray.

4. spritz whole hair with holding hair spray to keep it all in place.

NB: this style cannot be achieved with weave, but with either lace wig or your own hair.

Indian, Malaysian, Chinese and Brazilian Hair types

Malaysian human hair

Typical malaysian human hair is relatively thin and is softer than indian and chinese hair and In general this hair type is of a very high quality and rare to find so costs relatively more. This hair is available in all hair types: straight, wavy and curly.

Chinese hair

Chinese hair is “considerably thicker” than indian hair; it is dark black and, by contrast with indian hair, has a round cross-section. This hair is good for hair styles with fringe or bangs as they stay when windy and look more fuller than other hair types.This hair is only available in straight hair which is the natural unprocessed texture, but can sometimes can be processed to get them to be curly or wavy.

Indian hair

Indian Hair is softer than chinese hair but not as soft as malaysian hair. Most human hair wigs are made with indian hair as this is more readily available than other hair types, which is why it is cheaper than other hair textures. This hair is available is all hair types: straight, wavy and curly.

Brailian hair:

Brailian hair is very soft to touch and thin but not as thin as Malaysian hair. This hair is also rare to find and cost relatively more, this hair is mostly available in texture curly, natural wavy and straight.

Remy hair is the best quality hair available!!

Alot of people do not know the meaning  of Remy and mostly say i dont want remy hair as they assume it is low quality, but in actual fact it is thbest quality hair available. The cuticles are not stripped and remain aligned in one direction. Most human hair sold in the hair extensions industry undergo a cuticle-stripping process called an acid-bath. Then, a silicone is placed over the cuticles to give the hair a faux shine and smooth appearance. This silicone wears off when the hair is washed, therefore, the cuticles are disturbed and return back to their unruly state, causing the hair to mat and tangle easily. Remy hair does not mat or tangle because all the cuticles are aligned and intact without the use of silicon.

The quality of the hair is often specified.

• Virgin hair indicates that the hair hasn’t been colored or processed in any way. The “virgin hair” is collected by tying off the hair to maintain the direction of the cuticle and then cut. After the hair is cut and collected it can be sewn on a weft, pre-bonded, made into wigs or left in bulk form.
• Remy is a term used when all of the hair is human plus when ‘close to’ all of the strands (e.g. in one weft) are strictly organised with the roots in one direction and the tip to the opposite end. Remy hair in general lasts much longer than non-remy and tends to stay shiny and “tangle free” longer. This is based on the fact that every strand of hair is biologically keratinized skin cells organized in layers overlapping one another.However, this description is no longer accurate. The word “remy” is being abused in the market, and generally accompanies processed packaged hair.
• Single drawn is of a slightly lower quality than double-drawn hair. The hairs will have up to a 2″ difference in the tips; that is, some hairs will be up to 2″ shorter than their original lengths.
• Double drawn indicates that the collected hair of a certain length has all of the shorter hairs in the bundle manually removed twice, hence the ‘double’ drawn. This means that hair extensions that are double drawn will have (nearly) as many hair strands at one end as the other and appear much thicker and not wispy at the ends. This process is very laborious, and therefore makes the extensions very expensive.
