Extensions

Currently offered in 45 countries worldwide, Great Lengths is recognized as the expert for hair extensions. Many actors, performing artists, runway and print models as well as people walking down the street are wearing Great Lengths.

Great Lengths uses only 100% human hair…healthy, soft, natural textured Indian temple hair of the best quality. This is Indian hair in virgin condition. It is of extraordinary quality since it has never been exposed to any harsh chemical treatments. Great Lengths utilizes only Remy hair, which means that the cuticle layers are all facing in the same direction from roots to ends so you don’t get any tangles. This insures the hair to look more natural so it behaves more with your own hair. Other products dip there hair in and acid then place in a wax, not knowing which way the cuticles are going, then put them all together, After about two weeks the wax wears off and mats up.

Each strand is pre-bonded with a patented protein polymer that is of the highest technology. The keratin is a polymer compound whose molecular structures is very similar to human hair and respects its same properties and alterations. When wet, hair expands and when dry it comes back to its natural state. Great Lengths keratin moves and behaves like your own hair, ensuring a gentle yet strong hold without damaging it. Other synthetic polymers do not behave like human hair, so the bond will soon deteriorate and the hair will start to fall out. The protein polymers are activated when an advanced high-frequency instrument is used to attach the strands.

~De-Pigmentation~ The hair arrives at the Great Lengths factory in Rome in its virgin state. There it 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 like with ammonium derivatives, which damage the cuticle. Basically, Great Lengths does not bleach out the hair. The color pigments are broken down slowly and completely taken out of the hair. When bleaching, 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.

~Pigmentation~ after de-pigmentation the new pigment has a new clean space to occupy. This ensures the molecule sits firmly in place so color wont fade. Traditional dye does not cover the molecules so it remains on the surface. After a couple of washes it fades.
