The Great Lengths technologies ensure that there is no damage to your own hair, providing that you follow the correct after care programme as recommended by your Great Lengths technician and you visit the hair salon for a regular maintenance (preferrably monthly). Your hair should be in the same condition after the extensions are removed as it was before, if not better.

We recommend that three months after the initial installation you visit your Great Lengths approved salon for regular maintanence appointments every 4 - 6 weeks. During these maintenance appointments it may be neccesary to remove bonds that have become untidy and replace them with new extensions. This is dependant on the individual and will vary according to ones natural hair growth.

There are no chemicals or heat used in the application process. This way your natural hair stays healthy and grows longer. With out proper care, anything can damage your hair.

A Absolutely not. Damage can only occur if they're applied incorrectly or left in too long before either being taken out or replaced.

Always, go to an extensionist who has been in the field for a while. Damage can be caused by inexperienced placement. For example, Strand by strand extensions should not be placed on the baby fine hair at the nape area. There are several types of extension methods available today. Track gluing or track sewing, does not allow the scalp to breathe. This method causes "bad things" to happen under the glued or sewn in track.

No, the extensions will not damage your hair. In fact, some say their hair growth was increased. Back to top

The Hair Extensions are easily removed from the natural hair using our specially formulated bond remover and instrument, leaving the hair undamaged.

As far as your hair goes, you can use Curlaway before, during and after extensions, but you should make sure that the glue is not weakened by Curlaway. I would suggest you apply the extensions to clean hair and add Curlaway to the shaft of hair below the glue.

NO, NOT WHAT SO EVER, THE POLYWAX™ EXTENSIONS WERE DESIGNED TO PROTECT YOUR HAIR FROM HARSH GLUES, FUSIONS AND OTHER DANGEROUS CHEMICALS, THE POLYWAX ATTACHMENT IS PUT TOGETHER WITH SYNTHETIC KERATIN, SUNSCREENS, BLACK AND AMBER WAX, AMONG OTHER INGREDIENTS.

Hair Extensions are perfect for most people. However, there could be factors, such as unsuitable current hair condition, hair loss, or hair damage that could prevent extensions from being an option. These factors will be discussed during your consultation.

This depends on many factors. Your design choice may influence how long it will last. Also, how you personally care for your extension and hair replacement pieces will certainly influence their longevity.

Braids can be damaging to the scalp and hair if you fail to cleanse, moisturize, and treat the scalp. Beware of tight braids that pull the hair follicles. Damaged scalp and hair can result in severe and permanent hair loss. We recommend frequent cleansing with The Best Salon Professional Moisturizing Shampoo™ featuring C.A.N.T.E.L.™. Thoroughly towel dry all braided extensions by carefully blotting all sections. Then, liberally apply Africare Hair and Body Oil™ over the scalp.
