How to care for hair extensions

by Suzanne Greenfield

Created on: March 18, 2010

Do you want long luscious locks but your hair stubbornly refuses to grow past your shoulders? Then hair extensions may be the perfect solution for you. Great Lengths is the leader in premium hair extensions, adored by the public and celebs alike. Great Lengths use only the finest 100% human hair of guaranteed origin and ethnicity. The company has been established for over 20 years and they boast to be the best hair extensions in the world.

Great Lengths use their own special patented system to attach the extensions to your own hair. The specially formulated bonds are not harmful to your hair in the same way that other methods of application can. Methods that use glue to attach the extensions can cause damage to your own hair as the added pressure on the hair root can cause breakage and even bald patches. When the extensions are removed, some of the glue particles can be left in the hair causing damage.

Great Lengths are completely different in that they are kind to your hair and your scalp and can be removed with no damage to your hair. The unique bonds used are virtually undetectable by sight or touch, are long lasting and are comfortable to wear, style and even sleep on. The hair used will look and feel as natural as your own hair and can be styled, curled or coloured so suit your own style.

So once you have decided to invest in some Great Lengths hair extensions, how do you maintain your beautiful new look? Looking after your hair extensions is a relatively easy process and your stylist should fill you in on any important maintenance tips. Firstly, you will not be allowed to shampoo your hair for at least 48 hours after your hair extensions have been applied in order to allow the bond to set. Your stylist will always recommend that you use Great Lengths aftercare products as the have been specifically designed to prolong the life and appearance of your hair extensions. These can be costly but really do work. You should shampoo and condition your hair at least once a week and finish the process by rinsing your hair in diluted Final Rinse Anti Tap to restore the pH value of your hair. Apart from this you wash your hair in pretty much the same way as you do with your natural hair.

When it comes to drying your hair you should always start at the bond as it is at its most vulnerable when wet. You should also avoid scrubbing the hair too much when towel drying as this encourages tangling and matting. Instead you should blot the hair with a towel to remove excess
