"Hi, today, we're talking about hair extensions, and we've got great new tips for you. So the first one is: Do hair extensions ruin the hair? Now, this is a very commonly asked question amongst consumers and people interested in getting hair extensions. So let me give you a few tips. Being a professional myself, and working in a salon, I get the opportunity to do a lot of hair extensions. Now, most important, I require all my clients to see me on a regular basis. If we apply hair extensions, it's very important that we communicate and I see you regularly. This way, you don't receive damage to your hair. Number two: If I do your hair extensions, also let me remove your hair extensions. This is good for you and your professional at home. You don't want to do this at home because there are techniques that your client...that your salon stylist may use that you necessarily can't do at home. Remember, if you want your hair extensions to be beautiful and long-lasting and damage-free, make sure you stay with your professional, see her on a regular basis, and do not -- in no circumstance -- remove them yourself at home. My name is Sylvia Russell, and no, hair extensions do not ruin your hair. Thank you."
