ARE GREAT LENGTHS 100% HUMAN HAIR EXTENSIONS SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE?
HAIR EXTENSIONS ARE A COSMETIC PROCEDURE AND THEY SHOULD BE APPLIED TO HEALTHY HAIR. HAIR MUST BE AT LEAST 5 - 8 CMS IN LENGTH TO PROVIDE COMFORTABLE ATTACHMENTS. THERE ARE SOME MEDICAL CONDITIONS THAT MAY MAKE A MINORITY OF CLIENTS UNSUITABLE FOR EXTENSIONS, WHICH IS WHY GREAT LENGTHS CERTIFIED SALONS ARE REQUIRED TO OFFER A FREE, NO OBLIGATION CONSULTATION. AT THIS STAGE THE CLIENT'S SUITABILITY CAN BE ASCERTAINED AND THE SALON CAN BE CONFIDENT THEY CAN PRODUCE A HIGH QUALITY RESULT.
ARE HUMAN HAIR EXTENSIONS BETTER, AND WHY?
Q: ARE HUMAN HAIR EXTENSIONS BETTER, AND WHY?
A: GREAT LENGTHS ONLY USE 100% HUMAN HAIR BECAUSE IT BEHAVES LIKE YOUR OWN REAL HAIR. HUMAN EXTENSIONS ARE BETTER BECAUSE THEY CREATE A MORE NATURAL LOOK AND EFFECT. THIS MEANS OUR EXTENSIONS CAN BE STYLED USING HEATED TOOLS AND STRAIGHTENERS, AS WELL AS BEING PROFESSIONALLY COLOURED AND PERMED. THEY ARE ALSO SUITABLE FOR MOST LIFESTYLE ACTIVITIES. SO THERE REALLY ARE NO LIMITS TO WHAT YOU CAN DO WHEN WEARING GREAT LENGTHS EXTENSIONS.
WILL HAIR EXTENSIONS DAMAGE MY HAIR?
NO. IF HAIR EXTENSIONS ARE ATTACHED BY A PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED STYLIST AND THEY ARE PROPERLY MAINTAINED BY THE CLIENTS, GREAT LENGTHS EXTENSIONS SHOULD NOT DAMAGE YOUR HAIR. OUR HAIR IS 100% NATURAL AND THE BOND HAS BEEN FORMULATED USING A SPECIAL BLEND OF POLYMERS THAT REPLICATE THE MOLECULAR STRUCTURE OF KERATIN. KERATIN IS A PROTEIN FROM WHICH NATURAL HAIR IS MADE SO IF YOUR EXTENSIONS ARE MAINTAINED IN THE RECOMMENDED WAY, NO PROBLEMS SHOULD OCCUR.
HOW LONG WILL MY GREAT LENGTHS EXTENSIONS LAST?
BY FOLLOWING OUR SIMPLE MAINTENANCE PROGRAMME, EXTENSIONS CAN LAST UP TO 5 MONTHS USING OUR COLD FUSION SYSTEM. USING GREAT LENGTHS AFTERCARE PRODUCTS WILL ALSO PROLONG THE LIFE OF EXTENSIONS AS THEY ARE DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE HAIR AND THE BOND.
HOW SHOULD I LOOK AFTER MY HAIR EXTENSIONS WHEN THEY'RE IN?
SIMPLY FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES SET OUT ON YOUR CONSULTATION FORM AND THE ADVICE EXPLAINED TO YOU IN DETAIL BY YOUR TRAINED STYLIST.
