Hair extensions are a cosmetic procedure and should only be applied to healthy hair. Hair must be at least 5cm in length, though ideally 8cm or longer to ensure comfortable and discreet attachments. There are some medical conditions that may make a minority of clients unsuitable for extensions. Suitability is discussed during a consultation with a Great Lengths Certified Stylist, these are always free and no-obligation.

You can be assured that Great Lengths’ Pre-Bonded extensions have been scientifically proven not to cause damage to healthy hair when applied correctly and maintained properly. The key to a successful, damage free application lies in the details of the application. There is no “cookie-cutter”, “one size fits all” application technique, as each client has different hair conditions and desired results that must be considered. The skill level of the stylist is crucial for a damage-free application and this is why Great Lengths Certified Stylists are the most sought after by extension clients worldwide.

Great Lengths extensions are made with the finest human hair because it behaves like your own hair and offers a more natural look because it behaves like your own hair and offers a more natural look. This means that our hair extensions can be treated in just the same way as your own hair: can be styled using heated tools, as well as professionally colored and permed. They are also suitable for most lifestyle activities including swimming.

Because all Great Lengths hair extensions are made from human hair, your care routine will be very similar.

Great Lengths hair extensions must always be removed by one of our certified stylists. For GL Pre-bonded, the stylist will use a specially formulated Great Lengths removal gel. When applied, this gel gently breaks down the bonds and your stylist will use a removal tool during this process, allowing the extensionist to slide the bond down your own hair with no damage caused.

Once you have had your extensions removed, your hair needs to be washed and conditioned to clean away any residue from the removal gel or spray. 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.
