Are Hair Extensions Right for You?

 

 

Need a change or want to spice things up for the summer? Why not add some length?! Consider Great Lengths, which are individual extensions that are completely natural and not noticeable (to people who don’t know that you are wearing them). Each strand is structured and colored to your own, and correct placement of the strands ensures a perfect result. Made of 100% human hair, they come pre-bonded with a Keratin bond, which is patented due to it’s superior technology. The bond is virtually undetectable and, when cared for properly, will not damage your natural hair.
How Does It Work?
The hair is put in strand by strand, so you’ll need a trained and Great Length Certified professional. Although the process can be quite a splurge, it can last from 4 to 6 months when cared for properly. And since each set of extensions are so unique, you’ll only be able to get a price quote after a thorough consultation.
How to Make It Last
Much of what determines the lifetime of your extensions is how fast your own hair grows and how well you can care for your extensions. At-home care is simple and similar to caring for your own hair. A couple of key tips: use a natural or boar bristle brush. Also, before sleeping or working out, gather your hair into a loose braid or a soft scrunchie to avoid matting or tangling.
Not Ready for a Commitment?
If committing to this type of extension isn’t the right fit for you now, or you just want to try something as a trial run first, there are less permanent and inexpensive ways to add length to your look. For instance, Ken Paves has created a wide range of clip-in extensions starting at less than $100 in his line, HairDo!
