Hair Extension Styling: Why Less Can Often Be More
When guests inquire about adding hair extensions, it’s usually driven by a desire for extra volume, length, or thickness. There are countless options available—from DIY clip-ins to professional, semi-permanent installations—but what often happens is that clients get caught up in the excitement. The mindset becomes: “More hair must mean better results!”
However, that’s not always the case.
This is precisely where an experienced stylist becomes essential. At Meddlers by DMC, leading Stylist Christopher Dunkley comments, we believe the art of great hair extension styling isn’t just about adding hair—it’s about creating balance, movement, and a seamless blend with your natural texture. Achieving this requires expert guidance, which often means reducing volume, not adding it. We carefully blend your existing hair with the new extensions, sculpting the weight and layering to ensure a natural look that suits your hair’s density and fall.
When too much hair is added—especially in methods like beaded, tape-in, or sewn extensions—the result can often appear bulky, heavy, and, frankly, fake. This happens because the density of the added hair exceeds that of the client’s own, creating an unnatural contrast. That’s why a knowledgeable stylist must take control of the styling process, removing excess weight and shaping the hair so it enhances rather than overwhelms.
At Meddlers by DMC, we pride ourselves on tailoring every extension service to the individual. Our goal is to give you the length and fullness you desire while maintaining the integrity and feel of your natural hair. It’s about understanding what really works for you—even if it’s not what you initially thought you needed.
Our experience, artistry, and honest guidance are what set us apart. We don’t just install hair—we craft personalised hair journeys. And we’re here to show you the difference between simply adding hair… and truly transforming
