Oh I’m the kind of girl that likes to be au natural so when we, the SALON of Florence, started doing clip-in extensions many years ago I was intrigued but knew it wasn’t for me. Then over time, one of our stylists got extensions and I really couldn’t believe the change in her physically but also mentally. As a matter of fact when she would walk into the salon her look had changed so much I felt like I was in the presence of a movie star. It was her but enhanced. If there’s anything a full, healthy head of hair screams it’s VITALITY!
Over the years due to aging, hormones and stress, my hair started to thin. I naturally have pretty thin hair anyway so losing hair was not an option for me. I wore clip-ins for a few years and of course really enjoyed being able to try new hairstyles and to honestly just look better. Our Owner, Barbi, dove head-first into some major education for Natural Beaded Rows which are extensions but sewn in. Once again I thought they looked great but felt like that wasn’t really me…UNTIL I GOT THEM!
I only have one row of extensions and my hair is as long as the extensions so I didn’t get them for length but for volume. See that’s the thing about extensions you don’t have to be prepared to take care of mermaid length hair to have them. I mean you can, it’s definitely a beautiful option, but the thickness just one row of extensions adds is a game changer. I’m talking a pony tail the size of a toddler to now I have the perfect pony that I like to whip around a little depending on my mood and the curls…OH the curls!
The other thing about the extensions is that I don’t feel them. I’ve had them for at least 2yrs. now so I realize I’m used to them but after a while I honestly forgot I had them in.
I’m not going to mention this to my stylist quite yet but in the future I may consider cutting my length a good bit because a shorter haircut on me before was one thing but now a shorter haircut that is also THICK is going to be fierce!
