The ultimate hair DIY for hair extensions has finally arrived. Who would have thought it would come from Balmain, one of the most prestigious fashion houses in the world? In a bold attempt to bring luxurious and unattainable locks to the masses, their hair couture line has just released the most innovative hair extension machine with technology that simply amazes. Two questions remain: is it worth it and how can we get it?

Beauty blogger Huda Kattan was one of the first to get her hands on the luxurious Balmain Système Volume hair extension tool just weeks ago, and leading hair artists like Jen Atkin are following suit with their elite clients in tow. Never before has it been easier to transform a short bob into long, luscious locks every day. Are the days of tape and clip-in extensions really over?

If you have ever used hair extensions, you know everything that is available on the market today. From tape in hair extensions to microlink, bonding and even clip-in human hair extensions: the options seem endless, but they always fall short. Tape-in extensions are far too delicate when wet, and clip-ins aren't exactly a permanent solution. Microlinks require constant tightening and the sewn-in type must rely on strong hair, which is a problem for many girls who need extensions in the first place. What can Balmain hair extensions and their Système Volume tool offer that the rest can't?

To begin, the hair should be thoroughly washed and conditioned to ensure the cleanest application. Then the hair is divided into sections and the square plastic covering is applied. The extension must be applied to the hair root with a gun-like applicator. This process causes the least damage to the hair in the fastest time. While normal hair extension procedures can take well over an hour, the Système Volume applies the extension in less than 40 seconds. It literally takes less than 20 minutes to complete an entire head of hair, from start to finish.
