Hair extensions aren't just for those of us with mid-length locks looking to boost length, they can be used to funk up even short do's. Rihanna is a great example of this. To achieve her thick, sweeping ‘faux hawk' effect, extensions could be added amongst the top layers of a crop (or even a bob if you prefer, just pin the sides back and secure using hair spray). For Rihanna's cool colour just mix up your shades, adding a light bleach- or honey-blonde along with a dark base colour.
If you have gone for a Danni Minogue style chorus girl bob this season, try adding extensions in a colour to match your own at around ear length, then trim to the same length as your own hair. This will create a thicker effect, making the symmetrical lines of your cut even sharper and allowing extra ‘swing' and volume.
If you've opted for a pixie crop but fancy a change for a xmas party, try adding small amounts of extensions in a highlight-shade to your fringe just as Marley Shelton did at a recent premiere. Once attached, just brush your own hair forwards over the attachment area, before feathering the ends of the extensions to suit your own style!
