Hair extensions ... forever will hold a place in my heart. I've been wearing hair extensions on and off for years. Given my love for luscious locks, I think I should be gifted with the Balmain Hair Extensions Machine for my birthday! Which, if you don't know it's May 24!
Why do I, Sos, deserve this genius contraption? Well ...
My hair extensions love story started in 2009 when I promised myself if I lost 15 lbs, I needed to lose about 35, that I would buy myself some long luscious locks for my new bod.
My first set of extensions I kept in for a year and a half. I loved them so much. I took care of them like they were a newborn baby. The quality of the hair was great, they were applied by a hair genius and they made me feel good about myself as I continued on my weight loss journey! The draw back was that I was young and broke.
My second set of hair extensions I decided I needed because I was newly single after a 3-and-a-half-year relationship ended in 2015 and decided single Shelby needed some long beautiful hair. Both the hair and being single didn't last long. They quality of the hair wasn't the best and the application was poor. Seriously, do your research before diving into hair extensions friends!
My current set of hair extensions I've had since February and I love them. They are long, really thick and actually pretty affordable compared to other kinds. Long story short, I'm obsessed y'all.

I came across Balmain's Système Volume hair extension tool when I was scrolling through Huda Kattan's Instagram. Since then I've been trying to find out more information on how it works! Basically, a square, plastic case that contains the hair extensions is applied to the root of the hair. After the case is clipped, the gun-like applicator is pressed on to the root of the extensions and removed. Then, voila! You have long beautiful hair in less than a minute!
So, if someone could buy me this contraption for my birthday in three weeks I would love you forever.
