Do Extensions Damage Natural Hair?

Ever wondered how the stars manage those incredible, voluminous hair transformations? Trust us, they didn’t wake up that way. This week, we're diving deep into the art of hair extensions with one of the best in the biz, Celebrity Hairstylist Lacy Redway. Lacy's signature, sculptural looks have graced the covers of Vogue and New York magazine on talents like Simone Biles and Naomi Osaka, and her creative skills have been tapped by the likes of Chappell Roan, Tessa Thompson, and Michelle Williams. As a Creative Brand Partner for Bellami Hair, Lacy is the authority and today she’s sharing it all.

Tune in to hear all about:

• The best way to choose hair extensions as a newbie
• How a pro like Lacy keeps her hair extensions neat, tidy and ready for the camera at all times (no tangles here!)
• How-to wear extensions without damaging your natural hair
• How-to blend extensions so that you get a seamless effect
• The exact budget-friendly products she uses to clean and style the extensions in her kit 
• Stay tuned to the end where Lacy shares a little tea about working backstage on a well-known reality TV show (you won’t believe which one!)
