The "Updo" a Classic Timeless Hairstyle for Your Wedding

Custom Every girl wants to look fabulous on her wedding day. With that in mind, the updo is a popular and beautiful style. You can have it! Our 14" long hair extension is custom dyed to precisely match your hair color so you get the same professional look as top models and Hollywood stars.

This type of hair piece is best for creating an updo or wearing at least part of your hair pulled back. Whether placed at the nape of the neck or on the crown, it adds 14 inches of length and extra volume to your own hair.

If you want to wear your hair down and need extra length and fullness at the side of your head, consider one of our hair extension sets instead.
