Maintenance
Previous Previous Previous Next Next Next

With Great Lengths hair extensions, you will get a good 3-6 months of beautiful wear out of them. After that time, the extensions will have grown out and will be increasingly less ‘hidden’ as the bond will be further out from your head. When you see this happen, it’s best to schedule your removal and or/ re-application with a new set.

Top Maintenance tip for your Great Lengths hair extensions: Get out that brush!! Brushing your Great Lengths thoroughly 3 x times a day can extend their lifespan by a full 4 weeks. Never – and we mean never – use a hard bristle brush as it can tug at the bonds.

Top Maintenance Tip: A silk pillowcases will fight the frizz! If you have Great Lengths hair extensions listen up, buttercup, because this tip is going to tame those fly-away and keep it calm! While you are sleeping (and probably jostling around having amazing hair dreams) the silk pillowcase will not catch on the tiny hairs and send them haywire. Try this tip so you can be “I woke up like” beautiful

After Care – Once you have your Great Lengths applied, you’ll need to not wash your hair for 2 days. This will allow your extensions to fully adhere and settle in. The loss of a few bonds is completely normal too so don’t worry if you have a few that slip. It’s always a good idea to make an appointment a couple weeks after your application in order to confirm that all the bonds are securely holding.

Brushing with Great Lengths: Brush Great Lengths three times a day with the recommended Great Lengths brush. Unlike many extension systems, regular and thorough brushing is recommended for Great Lengths extensions. Beginning at the nape, brush row by row, scalp to ends. Always pull Great Lengths into a softly held ponytail while sleeping or any activity that has your hair blowing in the wind. These important brushing and steps will prevent tangling at the attachment sites.

Make those hair extensions last longer! Always use the GL Anti-Tap Formula after every wet treatment. The Anti-tap Formula is designed to neutralize the irregularities in your water source and/or to protect the keratin bond polymers from chlorine, saltwater and other solutions not compatible with a proper PH

BRUSH UP! Our Great Lengths brushes are specially designed for brushing hair extensions. Allows to detangle the hair without damaging the joint between the natural hair and the extensions. The specific shape of the natural rubber cushion enables the pressure to be distributed evenly on the whole brush with a more delicate action for hair and scalp.

Want to style your Great Lengths? Go for gold! Because our hair is 100% Indian hair, it holds wave and curl extemely well. This makes beach waves to smooth mermaid waves a cinch! Just one note of caution: keep your hot tools off the bonds themselves

Yes, you can wear your hair up with Great Lengths hair extensions! The size of the keratin bond is smaller than the size of a tic-tac. Because it’s positioned a little distance out from your scalp, the bond is completely flexible, meaning you can pull your hair up, back, or any direction at all. If you’ve foregone trying hair extensions because you’re a ‘hair up’ type of gal, look no further!

One thing we love about our Great Lengths hair extensions is that we just know they will last from 3-5 months or longer. That means half a year of drop-dead gorgeous hair for you! So, if you’ve got a season full of commitments, birthdays and more, this might be just the trick to keeping you looking fabulous the whole way through. DM us for more information.
