The BIG hair in Rock

Back in the day of the 80's Hair band Rock, that is all we saw from Van Halen, Aerosmith, ACDC, RATT, Poison, Motely Crue and it wasn't just for the guy rock bands, it was for the female bands and lead rockers, too.

Stevie Nicks' hair was well known for it's "bigness" and style, Ann and Nancy Wilson, Lita Ford...the list goes on.

And, yet, today, some almost 30 years later, long hair, "big hair" is still seen and liked on stage on the performers.

Jennifer Batten, lead female guitarist for Michael Jackson's last tours, has always worn the long, platinum hair that rocks while she does playing her wild guitars.

It's a look that is associated with rock and the rock style.

In recent years, in order to acheive longer, fuller hair styles, hair extensions have been a popular item.

Some are made with real human hair, others are synthetic. Coming in many different colors, lengths, straight, curly, crimped, feathers added for more color or even platinum zebra stripes, they have become a fun addition to add to your own hair.

Hair extensions usually come in small strips and in order to attach them to your own hair, there are little "combs" that open and close to place them in under your own hair, so that it all combines together.

Some like a full head of extensions to make it full all over and possibly a different color than their original. While others, like myself, like to wear a small strand of hair extension so that it adds mainly more color than volume.

Either way, it's the perfect and fun accessory to add to make that rock look complete.
