Alicia Bell recently headed east for hair extensions that most commonly sees clips secured to natural hair near the scalp, with glue and strips used to sandwich the natural hair and hair extensions together.
Taking to TikTok to document her journey, Alicia began: "I'm heading all the way to Istanbul to get hair extensions, because my hair is really short right now and I really want long, blonde hair for my birthday.".
Woman flies to Turkey just to get hair extensions done – but people spot 'issue' Many Brits have travelled to Turkey in recent years for hair transplants and teeth-whitening procedures - and now there's another cosmetic treatment that's becoming increasingly popular too.
After a short taxi ride from the airport in the Turkish capital, Alicia found herself in the salon where it took just five minutes for staff to remove her existing extensions.
Natural hair is braided whilst the extensions are sewn through the braids.
