Great Lengths

Hi All.

A week ago I had my Great Lengths hair extensions put in by my brilliant hairdresser Jack at Vatican in Canterbury. So thought after my first week trial i better update you with my findings... 

Whats so great about Great Lengths Extensions?? 


I asked myself this, as the hefty price tag associated with the brand encouraged me to look elsewhere to begin with. But after many laborious hours googling the types of extension, hair types and origins and being wrapped up with the science of applications. I decided that I had screwed about enough with my hair and i would rather put my faith in a reparable brand (with expensive marketing campaign and fancy website)... than to be left bald and still £100 out of pocket! 

Great lengths extensions are basically pre-bonded hair attached to small stands of your own about 1.5cm away from the scalp, attached using ultrasonic waves to break down the particles in the bond it is heat free and relatively gentle when done correctly. 

I had 50 strands attached the process was relatively quick, 100% painless unlike wefting! and look so natural.


Before- Style points for
Peplum, Polkadots And Pumps?



After: Washed, Treated, Applied
And Cut in about 2 1/2 hours.








The back has been tidied and left to grow so in time when the extensions have grown out it will fall to a similar style.


























The size of the bonds is not a worry they were carefully cut and precisely folded to ensure they are all so small they are barely visible when my natural hair is swept up by the wind good job too- July? Really? I thought i better take a pic and show you what does lurk beneath my top layers of hair... So far they're easy to manage & comfortable - if they were long you would have no trouble tying them back as the gap between bond and flesh is enough to move them and style as normal.
So as you can see i am truly impressed, whether this is the extensions themselves or the skills of my handyman who applied them either way i would most definitely go back again and again. 
So watch this space, i sense BIG hair coming this way!

Its only fair that i jot down the links for you to get yours the way i have...
