Great Lengths hair comes from the East part of India where it is cut as an offering to the temples in a sign of thanks for something good that has happened in peoples lives. The temples then sell it to Great Lengths who then sells it to us. A portion of all Great Lengths profits are given back to the community of East India.
BRUSH, BRUSH, BRUSH! Brushing with a soft bristle brush helps to prevent knotting at the roots and breakage upon removal. Do not use any products containing silicone. This is a key ingredient in the removal solution and will cause extensions to loosen and possibly fall out. Come in for check ups every two months so that our Great Lengths specialists can make sure that everything is going well and prevent any unnecessary knotting at the roots.

Absolutely not. Great Lengths are installed to be worn very naturally and cause no stress to the hair. The only time you may get breakage is if you do not practice proper brushing and develop heavy knotting at the roots. If this occurs you may experience a small amount of breakage during the removal process. To prevent this be sure to come into our salon for regular check up appointments.
