This Sunday I’ll join Hair Factory and gifted hairstylist Cynthia Alvarez for something very new (to me). Hair Factory, the veteran purveyor of hair extensions, is hosting a pop-up shop in New York City to deliver discounted goods, hair demonstrations, giveaways, and makeovers.

I’ll be there in the hands of Cynthia Alvarez (that’s her with Tatyana Ali above), getting my first set of extensions ever in front of everyone. Cynthia asked what sort of look I’m angling for, and without hesitation I said Kerry Washington. With any luck, bangs will be a part of the equation so I can give my fivehead some much needed shade.

I have so many questions to ask Cynthia this weekend. How long can I leave the extensions in my hair? Can I wash them? Do they get their own special bath? How is Beyoncé able to swirl her hair like a mop braving the spin cycle? Can I do that?

If you’ll be in the city this weekend, come join me as my hair reaches new lengths.
