Let Your Hair Down

Sam takes her hair to new lengths...
I've always wanted long hair, but every time I tried to grow it myself, it never looked how I pictured it would- so I kept it short. Once (a very long time ago) a friend of mine convinced me to get a weave. When I took it out, my hair looked (and felt) ruined. I swore I would stay natural for the rest of my life.
Then, I went to see my hair stylist before my 25th birthday. I complimented her hair, and mentioned how long it had gotten. She shocked me by telling me that her hair hadn't grown that much - she had extensions in. She convinced me that there was a new type of extensions that didn't ruin your hair. Could it be?
So (in the name of my job) and out of sheer curiosity, I decided to check it out for myself.
After 4 hours, lots of girl talk, coffees and even a dinner break, I had long hair. Will it really leave my hair undamaged? I'll let you know how it goes.

What: Cold Fusion Extensions. They are similar to hot fusion extensions, but instead of glue, small silicone beads are used to bind the extension to your own hair. This causes much less breakage, and makes them much easier to remove.
