Ryan began his transformation by applying semi-permanent extensions. While there are an array of extensions out there, Nickulas opts for a seamless brand because he says that unlike keratin-bonded extensions, which can take hours to apply, seamless extensions are applied in strips using an adhesive method that allows an entire head to be done in about an hour - a crucial factor for celeb styling, as a star's time is worth a LOT of money.
