Wacky Use Of Hair Extensions: Wedding Dress Made From Real Human Hair Pieces

There are usually a number of purposes to everyday regular objects like a tea towel can dry up utensils as well as guard hands from burning when carrying plates and acan of beer might be used for alcoholic drinking reasons, and also polish furniture. Much like many things in life, a lot of people attempt to break the mould to grabattention and make news headlines. But one person has decided to be more unusual and use hair extensions for a totally wacky new point, other than to extend natural hair. The dress maker from the popular Channel 4 programme ‘My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding’ has bizarrely made a wedding gown from human hair extensions. Thelma Madine has shot to fame ever since the television show was launched as she claims to be the leading seamstress for all travellers and gypsies across the UK. Now the ‘fairy godmother’ has created some bridal wear that takes OTT (Over the Top) to atotally new level.

The peculiar dress has been created using two hundred and fifty metres of hair pieces and is right now valued at a massive £50,000. The human locks frock needed a groupof around 8 dressmakers and hairdressers to produce the bright red colourful dress. The wedding dress weighs a huge 15 stone, is a size six and Madine is hoping that the pricey item will be picked up by controversial star Lady Gaga. The ‘Born This Way’ singer has caused a stir in the past by putting on outrageous and grotesque outfits made completely out of meat and one like Kermit the Frog from hit Television showThe Muppets. So now the well-known UK seamstress is eager for Gaga to carry on her trademark style and wear the exclusive dress made totally out of clip in hair extensions.

The unusual wedding dress was made through collaboration with a hair dresser known as Ryan Edwards from hair dressers Voodou and it used thousands of individual hair wefts and different hairpieces such as Remi hair extensions or clip in fringes. The exclusive design, which took over twelve days to create, also comprises of 1500 crystals and 12 underskirts. The bridal wear was crowned the winner when it was displayed at the Alternative Miss Liverpool pageant in Liverpool. But it's not the only hair-raising outfit which has ever been made. Back in 2010 a tunic was made in Vietnam from one million metres of human hair Remi hair extensions and it came complete with a matching hat.

This occurrence is a really crazy use of pre bonded hair extensions as normally Britonswear them to elongate their own natural hair on their head as opposed to wearing them on their own body. Create fabulous length with some feather hair extensionsjust like brand ambassador Sam Friars off of the hit reality tv show ‘The Only Way Is Essex’. Whether you like long curly hair or perhaps a lengthy straight mane, make sure you wear the flip in hair extensions on your head. Budding fashionistas can co-ordinate the remi cachet hair extensions with their current hair colour so it fits completely.
