All our hair is 100% virgin Remy to make sure all-natural hair qualities are preserved. The hair undergoes a special procedure to align the natural direction of the cuticles and therefore safeguarding the hair from damage. This is key to preserve the hair extensions health and give you tangle free lush hair.
What is all this jargon? Here’s THREE words in the world of extensions you need to know if you’re shopping around. 1. Remy- this means the hair’s cuticle is all in alignment from root to tip. Super important because if it’s not it will tanlge. 2. Double drawn – this means that all the shorter bits of hair are removed from the hair extensions so that you get volume from root to end! 3. Virgin -hair that’s never been chemically treated or dyed. Our Great Lengths hair is remy, double drawn, and virgin so that what you get is smooth, tangle free, thick healthy shiny hair.

Know what you are buying. It has been estimated that of the 1000 tons of human hair shipped into the US every year, only 25% is from known ethical sources. With no current regulatory body demanding ethicality in the hair extension industry, the salon industry and the consumer has had no guarantee that the hair extensions they chose were traceable, ethical or of good quality – until now. Great Lengths sources the very best human hair from Indian Hindu Temples. The hair has been donated willingly by villagers to the temple as an act of devotion to their faith. The revenue generated by Temple Hair is used for the funding of schools, health clinics and other community services.
Volume at every length: We use the term “single drawn” when referring to hair coming straight from India, from a single donor, in bundles composed of hair of varying length. Before it enters the production cycle, Great Lengths hair must become Double Drawn, which means that it has to be divided and matched according to the different lengths. This ensures that there’s no shorter pieces when you get your Great Lengths and your hair will be the same volume at both the root and ends.
Sourced from the Temples of India, Great Lengths hair extensions are by far the most luxurious hair extensions on the market. Indian Temple Hair has the most similarities to Caucasian hair in that it has natural wave and can be styled to hold curls. Additionally, Indian women rarely go to salons for any kind of chemical treatments meaning their hair is ‘virgin quality’. Because of these very important factors 100% Indian Temple Hair is the most ideal hair for extensions.
Extensions for your lifestyle. Great Lengths only use 100% Indian Temple hair because they create a more natural look. They are also suitable for most lifestyle activities and can be treated the same as your natural hair. They can be styled using blow dryers and straighteners, as well as being colour treated and permed.

Beauty that’s beautiful. The ethical sourcing of hair is fundamental to the Great Lengths philosophy. One of the key decisions taken by Great lengths is to only source hair from voluntary donations deriving from religious practices. Great Lengths selects the very best human hair from different Indian Hindu Temples. The hair has been donated willingly to the temple as an act of devotion. The key advantage to the community is that the revenue generated by the sale of Temple Hair is used for social benefit. Every strand has been donated willingly and with full consent. Each person that chooses to donate their hair has been treated with respect and care.
Great Lengths hair extensions are ‘Remy’ meaning that the hair shaft of each strand is pointed in the same direction, root to end. Root to end alignment is critical because each strands’ cuticle layer creates a ‘barb’ effect and thus, if the hairs are faced in opposite direction, they will tangle and matt. Great Lengths Remy hair means smooth tangle free hair for gorgeous long wear.
Our Great Lengths hair extensions comes from three temples in India where the hair is collected through the Hindi ceremony known as tonsuring. A lot of the proceeds that are raised through the hair sales go right back into the community to support social outreach programs like schools for the deaf, or orphanages. We’re so proud to stock an ethical and traceable brand!
The facts: We only source ethical traceable human hair from India to become 100% Remy and Double Drawn, which means that all of the natural hair qualities are persevered by undergoing a specific and unique production process in our factory in Rome.
