Why Is The Hair Used In Great Lengths Hair Extensions So Superior?
Why Is The Hair Used In Great Lengths Hair Extensions So Superior?
Great Lengths is the leader in premium hair extensions and are used and loved by women all over the world. The company has been going for over 20 years and continues to be as popular as ever. They use only the finest 100% human hair of guaranteed origin and ethnicity. But why is the hair used by Great Lengths so much better than other hair extension companies? Great Lengths utilise Indian Temple hair to make their extensions. In order to see why this hair type is superior, let’s first take a look at why other types of hair are not suitable.
Some hair extension companies use European hair to manufacture their extensions. However, the hair is not only difficult to find in significant quantities, but it is generally too thin in diameter (especially the blonde variety) to be of much use in hair extensions. Also few women in Europe are willing to sacrifice their hair to hair extension companies. And even if they did, the hair would need to be in a virgin state- meaning that the hair had never been chemically treated before and this is unlikely and hard to find.
Chinese hair can be found in large quantities, but this hair is not compatible with ours because it has a round cross-section as opposed to the oval shape of Caucasian hair. The shape of the follicle means that it is too thick and rigid to be compatible with European hair.
Brushed Indian hair is also unsuitable for use in hair extensions. This is the process where every day tens of millions of Indian women gather hair that is collected after brushing the hair. The problem with this is that the hair is often of inferior quality and the method of collection means that the hair is often presented as a ball of yarn with the hair lies mixed in all different directions. However, the hair is cheap to purchase and is traditionally used in the manufacture of wigs and toupees. But it is thought that this quality hair is not good for use in hair extensions because the cuticles usually face in both directions and will cause inevitable tangling and matting. The use of brushed Indian hair in hair extensions is known to provide unsatisfactory results and not really worth the while. It is well-known in the hair extension field that some companies attempt to pass of brushed Indian hair as Temple hair as it is found in large quantities and is cheap to buy. Therefore, it is important to make sure that you visit a salon that is registered as a Great Lengths salon to ensure that you are getting real high quality Indian Temple hair.
The hair that Great Lengths use in their extensions has been sourced from Indian Temples in virgin condition- meaning that the hair has never been bleached, coloured or treated. Genetically, Indian hair is very similar to Caucasian in its basic structure so it is ideal for use in hair extensions. Also, all the proceeds received by the Temple for the hair which is donated freely and happily by the women as part of a ritual offering, is used to provide funding of schools, hospitals and orphanages in the Indian society. Great Lengths only use ‘Remy hair’ which means that the hair is collected with the cuticle layer facing in the same direction from root to tip to reflect the structure of natural hair. This is an essential part of the process that means that the hair does not tangle when it is made into hair extensions.
Great Lengths hair extensions can enhance your natural beauty and provide you with a brand new look. If you struggle to grow your hair and are constantly willing your hair to grow, be thicker or have more volume then Great Lengths hair extensions could be for you.

Hair extensions are great idea to give a completely new look to a woman, especially if she is born with thin hair. If you feel less confident because of your thin and unhealthy hair, try a natural hair extension that will bring amazing changes in you, not only in physical appearance but also in your personality.
Hair extension is chosen by others as a way to color their hair. With this, you can give a trendy hue to your hair, without actually killing your scalp with harsh chemicals. Hair coloring becomes much easier with the smooth silky long hair extensions. They preserve their color for a long time too. Because of these reasons, many people opt for hair extensions nowadays.
There are a few people who consider ‘foreign hair’ as distractions to their normal activities. This concern is popular among people engaged in sports activities or those who travel a lot. They feel that they are carrying something extra on their head and develop an adverse feeling against them. However, this is just a psychological problem. Those who have tried it for a few weeks will realize that it merges with their hair so smoothly that they even forget about its presence. Then, they can move on or involve in highly sportive activities without discomfort.
Hair extension should not be taken in the wrong sense. Like many other personal grooming products available today, hair extensions are made after careful evaluation of their pros and cons. Hair extensions made of natural (human) hair are the best because they easily merge with your hair. If you approach a professional hair extension provider, he/she will suggest you the perfect extension suitable for your hair, by comparing it with your locks. If you are able to get the matching extension for your hair, you can be relieved.
Hair extensions are blessings for people who are born with thin hair. Thin hair has been a matter of concern for many, especially when they are doing a high-profile job and they have to impress many people by their personality. Lack of volume hair can bring down the confidence in a woman. By finding a suitable hair extension, they can get rid of this problem permanently.
By opting for a natural hair extension, you can make your hair look gorgeous in the natural way. Compared to the synthetic hairs, real hair extensions are long lasting. Typically, a good quality hair extension lasts 4-5 months, depending on the living style of the person. However, many people prefer hair extensions for special occasions.

Diary Of A Hair Extension Addict
Article by Aleisha Clark
Experiment Objective:To decide which extension method was the best based on my personal experience. I need to point out from the start that I am an experienced hair extension technician who has applied all the methods trialled in this article for my clients. But I wanted to provide feedback based on my personal experience rather than comments received from clients.
Experiment Method: Over the space of 12 months, I decided that I’d personally try using three of the more popular hair extension methods in my hair to see what I liked and disliked. Each day, I recorded in a diary my thoughts, any problems experienced, the good points, and anything I thought potential hair extension buyers might be interested in. Experiment Timeframe: 12 Months (4 months per extension method)Hair Extension Methods Trialled: Clip ons, fusion, micro ring. All methods used human hair extensions.The Results:Clip Ons (Months 1-4): I added 8 pieces (wefts) of hair. The wefts were attached to my head using clips and I had to remove them each night before I went to sleep. By the end of 3 months, I was really getting over adding and removing them and they were a bit uncomfortable by the end of the day. I have decided these would be great if you don’t want permanent hair extensions. They’d be great for one-off occasions like weddings or parties. For those of you out there that don’t mind adding another 5 or so minutes to your morning routine then you should give these clip ons a go. They looked really natural too which I think is very important.
Rating Guide:Appearance:4/5Price: 5/5Ease of adding: 5/5Comfort: 3/5Overall: 4/5Fusion (Months 5-8): I had these extensions added at a salon in Sydney and it took about 4 hours to have them added. Because I wasn’t able to add the extensions myself the cost was higher than the other two methods. Each extension is individually fused to your natural hair using an adhesive. I was a bit nervous for my hair as an adhesive was used on my hair but I didn’t have any problems throughout the 4 months and they were removed successfully at the end of the trial. I had a few extensions fall out over the 4 months but nothing too drastic. I think these would have to have been the most comfortable extensions to wear. My biggest issue was that the extensions used were quite thick (about 0.8g per extension) and they looked really chunky in my hair.
Rating Guide:Appearance:5/5Price: 3/5Ease of adding: 3/5Comfort: 5/5Overall: 4/5Micro Ring (Months 9-12): I had a friend help me add these extensions as the method is fairly easy to add yourself. Each individual extension is attached to a small ring. You simply pull your natural hair through the ring and squeeze it shut with pliers. It took just under two hours to add them. Once they were added, there was slight discomfort (dull pain) at my hair roots for the first night and within 24 hours this discomfort was gone. I thought I’d notice the micro rings in my hair but after the 24 hours I didn’t notice them at all. The extensions looked really natural (more natural than the clip ons), I think mainly because the extensions are added individually rather than one big weft. One other thing was that the rings were undetectable in my hair, but if your hair was really short or very fine they’d probably be a bit more noticeable and another method may be better for you. As with the fusion method, I also had a few extensions fall out over the four months. That wasn’t a drama and I could add them back in using my own pliers.
Rating Guide:Appearance:5/5Price: 4/5Ease of adding: 4/5Comfort: 4/5Overall: 5/5
In conclusion, I found all 3 methods did a good job of giving my hair lots of length and volume. I think clip ons are better suited to those girls wanting to use extensions on and off. I could also see clip ons being great if you spend lots of time doing sports or spending heaps of time in the pool.
The micro rings and fusion were both comfortable and looked natural. I opted for the micro ring method as the winner based on price, ease of adding and a really natural look.
I hope this helped any girls out there who are considering any of these hair extension methods. Good luck with your extensions!

Clip In Hair Extensions For Your Wedding Day
More and more women are turning to hair extensions to help them look their best at special occasions such as weddings or proms. Nowadays, women do not have to wait for their own hair to grow to get fabulous, long locks as there is a wide range of hair extensions on the market to choose from. You can choose from a selection of different hair types from synthetic to real human hair, single strand extension application or wefts, and different methods of bonding.
On your wedding day, it goes without saying that you want to look your best and hair extensions can help. Whether your style of choice is a glamorous updo or long free-flowing locks, hair extensions can provide you with the length, volume and thickness that you need. The more hair that you have to play with, the more dramatic and beautiful your look can be. However, hair extensions are not always a cheap way of enhancing your look. You could expect to pay between £250 and £800 for a full-head of real human hair bonded hair extensions, depending on your needs. The application process can also take up a lot of precious time perhaps better spent on last minute planning details.
It may be that you are looking for a different look for one day only, and might not want bonded hair extensions that could last up to 6 months. On the other hand, the idea of going on honeymoon with a brand new look could be very exciting for some brides-to-be. But if you are looking for an inexpensive and temporary way of creating the hair of your dreams, then clip-in hair extensions might be for you. Clip in hair extensions are temporary and interchangeable hair extensions that you can “clip on” to your natural hair. The advantages of using clip in extensions as opposed to professionally applied hair extensions are that they look perfectly natural without the need for professional application. You can also experiment with new styles and looks at much less cost. Clip in extensions, if applied properly, do not damage your hair in anyway unlike some other methods of professionally applied extensions that can weaken the hair, and even cause bald patches.
You can choose from a wide range of colours that will match with your own hair colour, and you can also choose clip in highlights or different colours if you so wish. Once you have bought your clip in hair extensions, you can use them again and again. In some cases, especially on your wedding, you may want to spend a little more time on making sure that you have an exact colour match. You can take them into a stylist who will custom-dye the hair to exactly match your own colour. A stylist will also cut and style the extensions for you so that they blend perfectly into your own hair.
If you do decide to use clip in hair extensions for your wedding, it is better to be safe rather than sorry and have a trial run with a stylist to ensure that you are happy with the results. You should order your clip ins about three months before the wedding just in case there needs to be any alterations and to give you enough time to have a trial run with them.
Clip in hair extensions can help to give you the wedding hair that you’ve always dreamed of without putting a whole in your precious wedding budget. You can remove the extensions whenever you like and clip them back in yourself, providing you with temporary glamour whenever it is needed. You deserve to look your best on your special day and hair extensions will only help to enhance your natural beauty.
If you are looking to get beautiful hair extensions for your special day then why not contact Inanch salon today. For more information click here.
Hair Extensions – Russian Vs European and Asian Hair
Article by andrew
As a Hairdresser and specializing in the Trading of Hair and Application of Extensions, I found that hair quality and the origin of donors is of the utmost of importance to determine quality. The quality of your hair extension hair will determine whether or not they look real, and how long the hair lasts. Please note, the following regions detail the process used to match hair extensions for people of Caucasian origin.
European Hair
There are a large number of hair extension artists claiming to use virgin Russian hair for many hundreds even thousands of dollars, when in actual fact they are selling good quality European hair sourced from donors with origins in South America, Italy, Eurasian ect. This hairs cuticle has been harshly processed to strip out the very thick texture and dark colour pigments. To mimic western hair (Caucasian), the hair is re-tinted using fabric colours not hair colours to achieve the desired shade.
Indian/Asian Hair
Hair sourced from donors of Indian, Asian and Chinese donors is a very course hair strand and grows naturally very dark and very straight. The hair is processed using the same method as European hair only more harshly. The pigments are stripped back to nothing then a short lasting silicon coating is added for a more realistic texture. For this reason Asian hair is usually the cheapest and most unnatural looking hair available on the market only lasting for the short term.
Raw Virgin Russian Hair
Raw virgin Russian hair has NEVER been chemically treated and is Caucasian hair so the cuticle is not processed and stripped unlike Asian and European hair. The hair reacts beautifully to salon products and remains silky even after lighting and colouring. Raw virgin Russian hair is widely known as the “creme de la creme” of hair and of the finest quality. The hair not only looks the most natural but also last for years not months. Russian hair is softer, finer and more compatible with western hair allowing the hair move naturally with more volume which means less extensions and less potential damage to your own hair.
Cost Factors
Due to the scarce nature of sourcing raw virgin Russian hair the initial cost can be significantly more than European and Asian hair. People only compare prices directly, however volume and durability should also be an important consideration. You may find that over the long term you can purchase raw virgin Russian hair for the same price as Asian or European hair when allowing for how long the hair will last and how many extensions you need. Chemically treated hair is flat and lifeless needing more hair to produce the same affect as non treated hair. In addition to volume, raw virgin Russian hair will last for years not months so the only cost is the cost a hair extension artist will charge for uplifting the extensions. Many well known brands do not offer uplifting due to the poor quality and durability of the product they use. If hair extension artists or salons claim to offer raw virgin Russian hair but can only guarantee the product for less than six months it is more than likely a false claim.
Quick Facts: Asian/European hair extensions
Hair only last in original condition for a short period Not recommended to colour as hair becomes even more porous Does not look real Not recommended to swim Frequently tangles Maintenance is very high Needs to be styled often
Quick Facts: Raw Virgin Russian hair extensions
Looks natural Can be coloured Swimming causes no damage Hair does not tangle Maintenance is very low Hair can be left to dry naturally Last for years if well cared for Need less as hair has more volume
