If you are taking your hairstyling cue from celebs like Eva Longoria, you know that hair extensions have always been a must-have. Tons of starlets from Jennifer Love Hewitt to Lindsay Lohan are in love with theirs, Jessica Simpson and Paris Hilton have their own hair extension product lines, even D-lister Kathy Griffin jumped on the trend – and her extensions look lovely!

Sure, we’ve all seen the Hairdo clip-ins courtesy of Jessica Simpson and Ken Paves (and truthfully, they are pretty good – Eva Longoria loves ‘em!) but if you want to go for the gold, hit the salon up for some real hair.

Getting hair extensions is a slightly indulgent, pricey procedure that will set you back a pretty penny, but the results are as close to the real thing as you can get – and hey, you deserve it! If you are looking for a slight revamp or a total new ‘do, hair extensions will deliver a dramatic change in just a few hours.

But how are hair extensions applied? What happens when you sit in the chair? The explanation on this video should meet all of your extension expectations….

Celebrities from all walks of fame, from Hollywood A listers through D know that with hair extensions it’s ok to stretch the truth. Go ahead and start channeling your own inner Eva….
