I let my hair down... with extensions

THE long, flowing locks of celebrities are the envy of many. But could they be fake? Probably. Hair extensions are not the preserve of high-earning celebrities. Anyone can have longer locks, once they endure the installation, maintenance and cost.

Sounds more like getting a new car than a new hairstyle. I put the fad to the test.
