Rochelle Fox aka A Fox That Meows @ Kevin McKensie

Rochelle Fox is one very talented and very busy lady! From fashion blogger, to model, to dj and presenter of features on radio segment The Dirt (2day fm) it’s hard to keep up with Miss Fox aka The Fox That Meows.

Having been in the entertainment industry since she was 16, Rochelle has tried just about every application of hair extensions on the market. And while she is a fan of clipins, she is bowled over by the quality and longevity of Great Lengths hair extensions. No more being paranoid about her weft of hair unclipping and sliding out while dancing. And certainly none of the pain or unnatural results of other permanent options.

Caring for your hair extensions

GENERAL

• Do not shampoo your hair for 48 hours after your Great Lengths service, including initial and maintenance services. This will give enough time for the bonds to settle and ensure that your extensions will not slide out through premature contact with cleansing chemicals.

• Do not use products that contain sulphur, such as dandruff shampoos. Use recommended Great Lengths products that are especially designed to improve the condition of your hair extensions. They can be purchased from selected Great Lengths salons or via our online store.

• Expect to see small quantities of naturally released hair trapped in the bonds after some time. This is quite normal and should not be interpreted as hairs being pulled out of the scalp by the extensions themselves. These ends can be cut by your stylist to minimise tangling close to the bonds.

• Prior to bed, pull your hair back into a soft ponytail to prevent tangling while sleeping. Use a Great Lengths Satin Pillowcase to allow your hair to move freely while you sleep.

• Return to your salon two weeks after your extensions have been applied for a check-up appointment. It may be necessary to replace a few strands if they have not settled correctly.

• If you experience bond slippage or any discomfort, contact your Great Lengths Certified technician to determine the cause and remedy the situation.

BRUSHING

• Brush your hair twice a day using a Great Lengths brush which is specifically designed for Great Lengths hair extensions. Do not use hard brush strokes. Separate your applied strands using your fingers and slowly brush close to the scalp. This will avoid matting in this area. Do not use a hard bristled brush. This may cause the extension strands to slip out.
