00:00This is actually the longest my hair has been in years.
00:03Having curly hair extensions, I feel like it will be really heavy and I feel like it will be hot.
00:08Hi, my name is Kayla and I'm going to be getting curly hair extensions.
00:12One of my curly hair icons is my mom.
00:15She was growing up, you know, 70s, 80s times, so she had a giant afro.
00:20People were always fussing over it, trying to get her to straighten it.
00:23And she just held strong and kept it curly.
00:25Because of my mom, I always wore my hair curly and I was never somebody who straightened my hair all
00:31the time when I was younger.
00:32She kind of gave me that empowerment in my hair.
00:36Having curly hair extensions, they're going to be perfect, beautiful curls.
00:40But I'm nervous my hair will change texture and then it will be super obvious.
00:44I'm also a little bit nervous about the color matching because I have a birthmark on my head which makes
00:50some of my pieces blonde.
00:51But I really just want to experience that feeling of having, like, long, luscious, curly hair.
00:57And I feel like it will make a huge statement.
01:00Let's get started.
01:03Hi, Kayla.
01:04Hi.
01:04Nice to meet you.
01:05So nice to meet you.
01:06Hi, I'm Christo.
01:07I'm the artistic director of Christo Fifth Avenue and Curlisto Systems.
01:11Nice little hair.
01:13Beautiful.
01:13Thanks so much.
01:14All right, let's see what we're going to do today.
01:15Obviously, my hair is nice and voluminous, which I really like, but I would love to kind of reduce some
01:20of the frizz and the damage to it while also getting additional length and seeing some of that extra pull
01:26from it.
01:27Dryness, frizziness, any kind of a damage is easy to reverse it.
01:31That's what we're going to do with the damage control treatment today.
01:33With the Diametric Sky, we're going to elongate a little bit your hair so it's not going to have so
01:36much bulk in it so you're going to see a nice length.
01:38From there, if we need to add extension, whether it will be extensions that can help you grow your hair
01:42out, but definitely you're going to start to see length in the next few months.
01:45Yes.
01:46We'd love an amazing, shiny, long transformation.
01:50Let's do it.
01:51Okay.
01:53Kayla, she had beautiful hair that was a lot of protein and moist and was very frizzy and very dry.
01:59So what we needed to do is to first come up with a plan.
02:03The plan was, number one, give her the diametrics cut in order to elongate her hair a little bit.
02:09Number two, do a treatment that's called damage control, which is from my curly stoline, that helps to extra moist
02:16the hair and the curl to have more softer look.
02:20Almost give you the illusion that the hair got a little bit longer by itself.
02:25I'm coming from Greece.
02:26I have curly hair myself.
02:28Structural importance are good.
02:29Condition that has moisturizers are good.
02:31Coconut oil, it's still not really adding any moisture.
02:34No coconut oil, no Greek oil, no arcan oil, no belly oil, no oil.
02:38So interesting.
02:38Always are good for salads, massages.
02:48Could this be my new Tinder picture?
03:01My worst haircut ever was when I was in elementary school, and this was before I started going to a
03:07curly hair specialist who knew what they were doing.
03:10They washed my hair, they straightened it, and then they asked me what haircut I wanted.
03:15They cut my hair into a bob.
03:16And I go home, I'm so happy, I take my shower, my hair scrunches back up, it curls, and I
03:23literally felt like I looked like a clown back in high school.
03:27I put so much gel in it to just like keep it down, and I did that for so many
03:31years.
03:32I don't know what went off in my head finally, where I was like, okay, it's time to embrace your
03:36volume, your frizz, all the things.
03:38Thank God, because it wasn't cute.
03:44We used a leave-in conditioner called Repair Cream.
03:47That was the first thing that we used to style the hair.
03:49Prior to that, we used the natural line, the natural shampoo conditioner, and the mask in order to moisturize the
03:55hair.
03:56We used two stylers.
03:57One was the structural lotion, and the other one was the control tube gel.
04:02Both the combination would give us the definition of the curl.
04:06Our hair, it is our number one accessory.
04:08When our hairs look good, we feel good, we do good.
04:12It's very important that you invest in your hair.
04:15Don't fall back, because you can be wearing the most beautiful dress or the most beautiful suit.
04:19If your hair doesn't look good, you're not going to look good.
04:23So invest in your hair, and then you'll be a lot happier.
04:27Oh my God.
04:39It's so light, which is shocking, because the extensions are still in, but it feels so much lighter than when
04:44I came in.
04:45And it feels so, so soft.
04:48You're a curl magician.
04:49I, like, suck, honestly.
04:52Being able to work with somebody who actually can look at my hair and diagnose it, pretty much, and then
04:58not just say that, but also achieve that was, like, just such an amazing experience.
05:03For curly hair, it's so rare to actually be with someone who can do all of those things.
05:08So, I have my little prescription now with all of my to-dos.
05:14After nourishing the hair, making it shinier, making it less damaged, and getting that treatment, on its own, it was,
05:20like, so much longer.
05:22And I feel like it's just a good, like, little boost of not only confidence, but also reassurance that long
05:28hair is going to be a good move.
