The Magic of Gold Class Hair Extensions 

The Magic Of Gold Class Hair Extensions - Inspired by Disney's Maleficent!
We were delighted to be invited by our long-standing friends at Disney UK to recreate Maleficent's horns and head piece for their official "Discover Maleficent" hub on Tumblr which contains information about the film with exclusive content and exciting fashion and beauty features inspired by Maleficent and Princess Aurora. The film opened on May 28th and stars Angelina Jolie as Maleficent and broke break box-office records over its opening weekend with a staggering £6.6m!!
To capture the magic of Disney's most iconic Villainess, we recreated the horns of Maleficent using real human hair extensions! Over 700 grams of our Gold Class hair extensions were used by our very own hair extensions guru and reigning Hair Awards 2014 Best Extensionist Inanch Emir to create the infamous horns - that's equivalent to 5 heads of hair extensions used on general clients! Maleficent's head piece and collar was also created using real human hair extensions! We hope you enjoy the magical transformation!

How we recreated Maleficent's horns, headpiece and collar:
We used a special mesh wire and sculpted the mesh to the shape of the horns and then cut out 2 holes on either side of a base cap and fed the horns through the cap and placed on a model block head. To keep the horns in firm place, we applied masking tape around both the horns and the base cap. We then wrapped our Gold Class hair extension wefts around both the horns and the base cap. In order to keep the hair wefts firm, we varnished the hair and left to dry overnight. On the day of the shoot we placed the horns/head piece on the model's head and wrapped her own her around the base of the horns in order to blend with her own hair and to keep the head piece sturdy. The head piece and collar section was also created using two 60cm hair wefts glued together with the upper section varnished to create the stiffness. We wrapped the collar around the model's neck and tied together using a long piece of hair strand and wrapped more wefts around the beck in order to get the whole upper body of the models covered in loose hair wefts.
Disney's Maleficent in cinemas now! Certificate PG.
