6 daring hair changes #6

6/ Apply extensions

Why don't we dare? Because it's super expensive! It is necessary to count at least 5 € per lock, and from 100 to 150 locks for the whole head, that is to say between 500 and 750 €. At less than 5 € per wick, we avoid:it is a poor quality addition.

It's for me ? The extensions bring thickness and length, but if you want to gain more than 15 centimeters, you forget:it shows (even on Britney Spears!). They are not recommended for very fine hair, because even if the pose is well done, the addition pulls on the natural wick and reduces the bulb. Good to know:when you remove the additions, it's a shock (we forgot how the hair was natural). To find an address, look on the sites of Great Lengths and Hairdreams, two extension specialists found everywhere in France.

It is done ! For 2-3 days, we feel them a little (it itches). To avoid touching the glue point, use silicone-free care and a boar bristle brush. We keep the additions for 3 to 4 months and then we stop for several weeks, so as not to weaken the bulb.

What if we regret? They are removed in the salon (often included in the price of the installation). Above all, do not remove them alone because you risk tearing your hair out (literally!).
