About Great Lengths Hair

You can be confident that Great Lengths hair is of the highest quality and there are many reasons why Great Lengths hair extensions produce such amazing results.

Focusing on quality, all Great Lengths hair is 100% human and 100% ethical. It is always sourced from temples in India where hair is voluntarily donated during a religious ritual known as ‘tonsuring’.

Step by Step of Application

There are two Great Lengths application options, each offering different benefits. Whilst we would always recommend that you discuss the best application option for you with one of our certified stylists, this guide should give you an overview of the key differences.

1. Individual Bonds:

  • The most popular application option
  • The bond is wrapped around a small supporting section of hair, and secured in place (just down from the root) using a Great Lengths application machine
  • Lasts for around five months, if well maintained
  • Suitable for adding length, volume or introducing colour
  • Available in a full-colour range
  • Available from 20cm up to 80cm in length
  • The only application option for Great Lengths Flowstrands and Diamond Threads
  • Double Drawn – same thickness from root to tip
  • Remy Hair – All strands are facing in the direction of natural hair growth resulting in radiant hair which is matt and tangle free
  • Scientifically proven not to damage healthy hair when applied correctly and well maintained

2. GL Tapes:

  • A more temporary tape-in application option
  • The natural hair is sectioned and a tape is applied below and above it, just below the roots. No machine is used
  • Can last between six-eight weeks, if well maintained and be re-taped up to three times
  • Suitable for adding length, volume or introducing colour
  • An extensive range of Great Lengths colours available
  • Available in 25cm, 35cm, 45cm and 55cm
  • Double drawn – same thickness from root to tip
  • Remy Hair – All strands are facing in the direction of natural hair growth resulting in radiant hair which is matt and tangle free
  • Will cause no damage to healthy hair when applied correctly and well maintained

How to care for my Great Lengths extensions

Because all Great Lengths hair extensions are made from 100% human hair, your care routine will be very similar. The only key differences are that you may wash your hair less frequently, it must always be dried after washing, and the hair may need to be brushed more regularly.

Always follow the guidelines set out by your stylist, and take a look at Great Lengths expert aftercare tips to maximise potential wear. Your stylist will also invite you to a free maintenance check approximately 3-4 weeks after application.

FAQs

Are Great Length’s hair extensions suitable for everyone?

Hair extensions are a cosmetic procedure and should only be applied to healthy hair. Hair must be at least 5cm in length to ensure comfortable, discreet attachments. There are some medical conditions that may make a minority of clients unsuitable for extensions. Suitability is discussed during a consultation – these are always free and no-obligation.

How long will my Great Lengths hair extensions last?

Great Lengths hair extensions full bonds can last up to five months if well maintained. Half bonds and micro-bonds do not last as long. GL Apps tapes last about 4 weeks but can be re-used. Potential wear may be extended if specialist aftercare products are used.

What will my hair be like when the hair extensions are removed?

Once you have had your extensions removed, your hair needs to be washed and conditioned to clean away any residue from the removal gel and bonds. If you have maintained your extensions well, there will be no damage, and you may find that your natural hair has grown more quickly than usual.

Can I colour my hair extensions?

Yes, as Great Lengths hair is 100% human, it can be coloured. However, the bonds can’t be coloured. Your stylist will be able to advise you on what is possible and what results you can expect to achieve.

How are the hair extensions removed?

Great Lengths hair extensions must always be removed by one of our certified stylists. The stylist will use a specially formulated Great Lengths removal gel. When applied, this gel gently breaks down the bond or softens the GL Apps tape-strip. For bonds, a removal tool is used alongside the gel, allowing the extensionist to slide the bond down your own hair with no damage caused.

What do I need to do to look after my hair extensions?

Because all Great Lengths hair extensions are made from 100% human hair, your care routine will be very similar. The only key differences are that you may wash your hair less frequently, it must always be dried after washing, and the hair may need to be brushed more regularly.

Always follow the guidelines set out by your stylist, and take a look at Great Lengths expert aftercare tips to maximise potential wear. Your stylist will also invite you to a free maintenance check approximately 3-4 weeks after application.

Do I have to use specialist aftercare products on my hair extensions?

It is not essential to use Great Lengths specialist aftercare products on your hair extensions, however there are benefits in doing so. Featuring high quality cleansing and moisturising agents, the Great Lengths aftercare range is paraben-free and kind to hair and bonds, scientifically proven to extend potential wear by up to 20%.

Can I swim wearing hair extensions?

Yes, you can swim and exercise with hair extensions. We just advise that you spritz hair after exercising with Great Lengths Anti-Tap Water. This product is designed to restore the natural PH balance of your hair and scalp, which can be altered by sweat. In turn, this protects bonds and nourishes hair.

Will hair extensions damage my hair?

You can be assured that Great Lengths’ unique bonds have been scientifically proven not to cause damage to healthy hair when applied correctly and well maintained.
