Great Lengths 100% Human Hair Extensions

Great Lengths technology for the application of 100% human hair strands has eliminated the limitations of decades-old technology for extensions. Length, volume or both can now be easily and gently applied without compromising the integrity of your natural strands.

Application

While others use techniques like welding, waxing, gluing or knotting, which often damage your hair, Great Lengths uses a much more gentle principle: modulating - an extremely high tech method of attachment between the Great Lengths strand and your own hair.  The Great Lengths applicator activates the bond (composed of polymer chains whose molecular structure is very similar to that of human hair) and joins the Great Lengths strand with your own hair.  When you are ready to have your extensions removed a special solution is applied that disintegrates the bond.

Maintenance
With Great Lengths you can achieve the impossible and there are no limits with what you can do to your hair. Swimming, dancing,  playing tennis or skiing…If you regularly take care of your hair and your extensions your lifestyle will be trouble free.

We Also Feature Cold Fusion - The most advanced application technology
The “cold fusion” method uses no heat. The Great Lengths strands are attached via ultrasonic wave.

What does Great Lengths Use?

Posted on February 9, 2008

What does Great Lengths use? Great Lengths utilizes 100% human hair of the best quality. This is Indian silky hair and in virgin condition. Genetically, Indian hair is very similar to Caucasian hair in its basic structure. It is of extraordinary quality since it has never been exposed to harsh chemical treatments. Indian hair is optimal for the manufacturing of hair extensions. Great Lengths utilizes only remy hair which means that the cuticle layers are all facing the same direction from root to end and, therefore, do not tangle. This also ensures that the extensions behave exactly like your own hair, blending in superbly with yours and looking super natural. European Hair - Unsuitable for hair extensions! European hair is very fine and can be found on the market only in very small quantities. Few European women would be willing to give up their hair to hair companies and, if they did, it would be necessary for their hair to never have been chemically treated. very unlikely…! Chinese Hair - Unsuitable for hair extensions Even though Chinese hair can be found in large quantities, this type of hair is not compatible with ours because it has got a round cross-section as opposed to the oval shape of Caucasian hair, making it too thick and rigid to be compatible with European hair. This kind of hair is acceptable for the preparation of wigs and toupes, since these are dry cleaned only, allowing the silicone layer to stay and the hair to remain shiny. Brushed Hair - Unsuitable for hair extensions Hundreds of thousands of Indian women gather the hair that is collected in their brushes, hair of different lengths, thickness and color. This method of collection results in balls of yarn where the hair lies unorganized in all directions. Because of the different directions the hair is lying in, and in order to be able to use it, it is necessary to submit it to an aggressive acid treatment to strip it of its cuticle layer and prevent it from tangling. In order to thin it out and give it a softer texture, this mixed hair must undergo an aggressive chemical treatment that destroys the hair’s cuticle layer, leaving it opaque and fragile. This is what happens when hair is treated with chemicals, it becomes opaque and fragile. The hair is covered with a silicon layer which gives it a healthy look. But this protection has a short life. In the beginning the hair seems shiny and beautiful, but after a few washes the silicone layer starts to wash away and the hair becomes dull and brittle again, thus resulting in serious matting and discomfort. This kind of hair is acceptable for the preparation of wigs and toupes, since these are dry cleaned only, allowing the silicone layer to stay and the hair to remain shiny.

Great Lengths De-pigmentation Process

Posted on February 8, 2008

The hair arrives at the Great Lengths factory in Rome in its virgin state. There it undergoes a special process.
The hair undergoes a delicate process of de-pigmentation lasting 15-20 days. The black pigments are slowly lifted from inside the hair, NOT from the outside as it happens with ammonium derivatives which damage our outside cuticle. Basically, we don’t bleach our hair!
Great Lengths De-pigmentation:
The color molecules are actually removed rather than bleached… Our system of depigmentation does not damage the hair and permits the removal of the black pigment without altering the quality of the hair
Standard Decoloration:
The color pigments are broken down but they continue taking up space inside the hair. The bleaching agent also damages the hair, leaving it opaque and fragile.

Great Lengths Pigmentation Process

Posted on February 8, 2008

In order to obtain excellent quality without variations as well as a vast range or colors, the hair is subjected to a special process of pigmentation. When not subjected to dye or bleach, virgin hair has the same texture and quality of dark hair. We treat our hair like cashmere.
Great Lenghts Pigmentation The new pigment has a clean, empty space to occupy. This ensures that the molecules sets firmly in place and thus the color will not fade out… just like your cashmere sweater!	Traditional Dying The traditional dye does not manage to cover the molecules, remaining only on the surface. This means that after several washes the color will fade away.

Great Lengths Applicator Machines

Posted on February 8, 2008

Great Lengths’ method is unique: no other system treats your hair in such a gentle way because Great Lengths has put an end to gluing, knotting and welding. Our modulation technique is a revolutionary system; an extremely durable yet gentle bonding attaches Great Lengths hair to your own hair.
	3200 Thermal System.THE ORIGINAL. The system that has become the standard by which all other extension systems are judged has put extension services into the mainstream! This still unrivaled system produces results simply not possible with any other system. The Great Lengths 3200 applicator tong is heated on one side. The temperature, which is approximately the same temperature as the lowest setting on a standard curling iron, is used to soften the Great Lengths bond so it can be molded to your natural hair. Unlike other systems, where glue guns and wax melting pots are used, the 3200 applicator allows for a very clean and precise application. The result is undetectable attachments that can be brushed, are durable and, most importantly, non-damaging to your natural hair.
	Air Pressure System. THE NEXT GENERATION. This incredible machine has launched hair extensions into a new dimension. It enables you to complete a full head of extensions in less than one hour instead of the 3-4 hours it takes with any other system. Thanks to a tiny built-in air compressor, a specially designed application arm is activated applying 7 to 10 strands at the same time in just 20 seconds. What’s more, you do not need to use your fingers to mold the bonds because the machine does everything by itself. The incredible precision and speed of application make this machine stand out above all the rest and is considered to be the breakthrough of the 21st century in the hair extension sector.

The Hair Extension Process

Posted on February 8, 2008

Hair Extensions are applied in neat rows by selecting very fine triangular sections of your hair.

Keratin is pre-applied to the trimmed end of each Hair Extension. The Hair Extension is then fused with your natural Hair creating a natural bond.

Once the Hair Extension application process is complete, your hair will be cut to the desired length and style.

Following application of your new Hair Extensions, it is crucial that a maintenance and follow-up schedule be developed. remember, regardless of how natural and real your Hair Extension look and feel, they must be properly cared for to ensure long-lasting beauty.

Find out how to best care for your new Hair between Salon visits by inquiring about recommended conditioners and Hairstyling tools. Visit our salon at frequent intervals for touch-ups and upkeep consultations.

Whatever your lifestyle, Hair Extensions are easy to maintain and last approximately three months if properly cared for.

Great Lengths Hair Extensions Care & Maintenance

Posted on January 10, 2008

After Hair Extensions are applied, DO NOT wash your hair for 48 hrs. This allows the bonds to “set” and bond well to your hair.

Great Lengths provides a special brush which is made specifically for your hair extensions. It is recommend to purchase along with your hair extensions. Brushing thoroughly is necessary. Finger separation of the bonds will keep your hair extensions from ever becoming matted at the scalp.

Pulling your hair back with a band or braiding it over the shoulder is recommended at night to keep your hair from getting tangled knotted or matted.

Swimming often is not recommended with Great Lengths Hair Extensions. Saunas are also discouraged as with any continuous wet environment.

Do NOT use anti dandruff shampoo as it contains Sulfur, an agent that is in the Great Lengths Removal gel. The bonds react to this agent and will soften.Coloring your hair IS allowed while wearing your hair extensions but keeping the color at safe distance from the bonds is encouraged.

Hot tools such as curling irons, flat irons etc should be KEPT AWAY FROM THE BONDS, but ARE allowed on your Great Lengths Hair. Always dry your bonds with a blow dryer. Allowing the bonds to remain wet for long periods is not recommended.
