This is actually the longest my hair has been in years.
Having curly hair extensions, I feel like it will be really heavy, and I feel like it
will be hot.
Hi, my name is Kayla, and I'm going to be getting curly hair extensions.
Before you see my hair transformation, subscribe below.
One of my curly hair icons is my mom.
She was growing up, you know, 70s, 80s times.
She had a giant afro.
People were always fussing over it, trying to get her to straighten it.
And she just held strong and kept it curly.
Because of my mom,
I always wore my hair curly.
And I was never somebody who straightened my hair all the time when I was younger.
She kind of gave me that empowerment in my hair.
Having curly hair extensions, they're gonna be perfect, beautiful curls.
But I'm nervous my hair will change texture and then it will be super obvious.
I'm also a little bit nervous about the color matching because I have a birthmark on my head,
which makes some of my pieces blonde.
But I really just want to experience that feeling of having long, luscious, curly hair
and I feel like it will make a huge statement.
Let's get started.
Hi Kayla.
Hi!
Nice to meet you.
So nice to meet you!
Hi, I'm Christo.
I'm the artistic director of Christo Fifth Avenue and Curlisto Systems.
Nice head of hair.
Thank you.
Beautiful.
Alright, let's see what we're gonna do today.
Obviously, my hair is nice and voluminous, which I really like, but I would love to kind
of reduce some of the frizz and the damage to it while also getting additional length
and seeing some of that extra pull from it.
Dryness, frizziness, any kind of damage, it's easy to reverse it.
That's why we're gonna do the damage control treatment today.
With a Diametrix cut we're gonna elongate it a little bit, your hair.
So it's not going to have so much bulkiness, so you're going to see a nice length.
From there, if we need to add extensions, whether it will be extensions that can help
you grow your hair out, but definitely you're gonna start to see length in the next few months.
Yes, would love an amazing, shiny, long transformation.
Let's do it.
Yay! Okay.
Kayla, she had beautiful hair that was lack of protein and moist
and was very frizzy and very dry.
So what we needed to do is to first come up with a plan.
The plan was, number one, give her the Diametrix cut in order to elongate her hair a little bit.
Number two, do a treatment that's called damage control, which is from my Curlisto line that
helps to extra moist the hair and the curl to have more softer look, almost give you
the illusion that the hair got a little bit longer by itself.
I'm coming from Greece.
I have curly hair myself.
Structure and proteins are good, conditioners that have moisturizers are good.
Coconut oil, it's still not really adding any moisture.
No coconut oil, no Greek oil, no argan oil, no baby oil, no oil.
Oh my god, so interesting.
Oils are good for salads, massages.
Should this be my new tinder picture?
My worst haircut ever was when I was in elementary school, and this was before I started going
to a curly hair specialist who knew what they were doing.
They washed my hair, they straightened it.
And then they asked me what haircut I wanted.
They cut my hair into a bob, and I go home.
I'm so happy.
I take my shower.
My hair scrunches back up, it curls,
and I literally felt like I looked like a clown.
Back in high school,
I put so much gel on it to just keep it down.
And I did that for so many years.
I don't know what went off in my head, finally, where I was like, okay, it's time to embrace
your volume, your frizz, all the things.
Thank God, because it wasn't cute.
We use a leave-in conditioner called repair cream.
That was the first thing that we used to style the hair.
Prior to that, we used the natural line, the natural shampoo conditioner,
and the mask in order to moisturize her hair.
We used two stylers.
One was the structural lotion and the other one was a control gel.
Both the combination would give us the definition on the curl.
Our hair, it is our number one accessory.
When our hairs look good, we feel good, we do good.
It's very important that you invest in your hair.
Don't hold back, because you can be wearing the most beautiful dress or the most beautiful suit,
if your hair doesn't look good, you are not going to look good.
So invest in your hair, and then you'll be a lot happier.
There you go!
Oh my god.
What do you think?
It's so light, which is shocking because the extensions are still in, but it feels so much
lighter than when I came in.
And it feels so, so soft.
You're a curl magician.
I'm like shook, honestly.
Being able to work with somebody who actually can look at my hair and diagnosis it, pretty much,
and not just say that but also achieve that, was just such an amazing experience.
For curly hair, it's so rare to actually be with someone who can do all of those things.
So, I have my little prescription now with all of my to dos.
After nourishing the hair and making it shinier, making it less damaged, and getting that treatment,
on its own, it was like so much longer.
And I feel like it's just a good little boost of not only confidence, but also reassurance
that long hair is gonna be a good move.
