Bridal hair of your dreams - we put Cheryl x Easilocks through its paces

Cheryl Cole has launched new HD Fibre Hair Extensions with Easilocks, which she designed in collaboration with celebrity hair stylist and Easilocks CEO, Shane O'Sullivan.

Made with memory fibre that maintains its style after washing, without the need for heat styling, the Wonder Waves will remain wavy and the Silky Straight will remain straight, wash after wash. Plus, with an easy clip-in application you can have the hair of your dreams in minutes without a trip to the hairdresser.

We were super-excited to put these locks to the test, with our lovely editor, Hannah Faulder, on the case. Here's what she had to say...

"I've never used hair extensions before but I've been absolutely DYING to! I have long hair but after years of colour changes and bleaching it's somewhat lacking in volume and texture. The thought of human hair extensions makes me feel a bit odd so when these fabulous synthetic ones turned up on my desk I was beyond excited.

The company explains that the extensions use HD fibres designed to reproduce the visual appearance, effect and performance of human hair. They have a nutritional coating, which creates the multi tones and silky feel of real hair. Beautifully packaged, I couldn't believe how realistic they were when I pulled them out of the box. I also loved that they come with a mini suit-bag style hanger to store them in along with products and a brush to keep them immaculate.

I had sent a picture of my hair and this was matched to the best shade for me - no mean feat as I have balayage - but the hair contains gorgeous soft highlights that blended brilliantly with my own. There are two larger pieces and 4 smaller pieces to get the perfect balance and correct positioning. They're super-easy to clip in; I managed to put them in my own hair for the first time with no help. They're really long, which is perfect for a glamorous look, or they could be trimmed to a more subtle length.

I loved having them in, I couldn't stop swishing my hair around like I was in a shampoo advert and you can see why Cheryl wanted to put her name to them - and there was me thinking she was just blessed by the hair gods ;) "

For £99 you can get a full set of Wonder Waves and a full set of Silky Straight hair extensions, both in long (22") and short (16"). They're available in 16 colours matched to your hair shade.
