There's no denying it: hair extensions are glorious. They allow you to add serious volume, change your color, or enhance your length in a matter of minutes. But when hair tutorial vlogger Kayley Melissa bravely decided to add 100 hair extension wefts to her head (in the name of a "100 Layers" beauty challenge, natch), she proved that there can be too much of a good thing.

In case you're unfamiliar, a weft is a large section of hair that features a seam at the root, allowing the wearer to sew, glue, or clip it into their natural hair. Kayley admitted that she was afraid that 100 of these would damage (or even pull out!) her real strands, but she forged ahead, mixing in a variety of differently colored wefts.

The finished result is a "hair mountain" that from the back bears a striking resemblance to The Addams Family's Cousin Itt. In the past, we've considered "my hair is too thick!" to just be a particularly obnoxious beauty humblebrag, but in this instance, it's a real concern. Despite the sheer volume, Kayley even managed to style it into a bun, two kinds of braids, and a ponytail, proving that she's a total pro. Watch and prepare to be amazed!
