There are often multiple purposes to day-to-day normal objects such as a tea towel can dry up cutlery in addition to protect hands from burning when carrying plates and a can of beer can be used for alcoholic drinking reasons, in addition to polish furniture. Much like many things in life, many people try and break the mould to grab attention and also make news headlines. However, one person has decided to be extra 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 designed a wedding gown out of human hair extensions. Thelma Madine has shot to fame ever since the tv programme was launched as she claims to be the leading seamstress for all of the travellers and gypsies across the United Kingdom. Now the ‘fairy godmother’ has created some bridal wear that takes OTT (Over the Top) to a whole new level.

The odd dress has been made using two hundred and fifty metres of hair pieces and is now valued at a massive £50,000. The human locks frock required a group of around eight dressmakers and hairdressers to create the bright red colourfulgown. The dress weighs an astonishing 15 stone, is a size six and Madine is praying that the pricey piece will be noticed by controversial celebrity Lady Gaga. The ‘Born This Way’ singer has created a stir not that long ago by putting onoutrageous and grotesque outfits made entirely out of meat and one just like Kermit the Frog from hit Television showThe Muppets. So now the famous UK seamstress is eager for Gaga to carry on her trademark style and wear the exclusivedress made entirely out of clip in hair extensions.

The bizarre wedding gown was made through collaboration with a hair dresser named Ryan Edwards from hair dressersVoodou and it used thousands of individual hair wefts and different hair pieces such as Remi hair extensions or even clip in fringes. The exclusive design, that took more than 12 days to create, also consists of 1500 crystals and 12 underskirts. The bridal wear was crowned the winner when it was exhibited at the Alternative Miss Liverpool pageant in Liverpool. But it is not the only hair-raising outfit that 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 generally Britons use them to elongate their very own natural hair on their head as opposed to wearing them on their body. Create fabulous length with some feather hair extensions just like brand ambassador Sam Friars off of the hit reality show ‘The Only Way Is Essex’. Whether you like long curly hair or possibly 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 that it fits perfectly.
