In
the hair extensions industry many claims are made
regarding the origin of hair. These claims tend
to be used to make extensions more marketable
or to create a higher perceived value; they are
often made in relation to the use of European
or Oriental hair. Great Lengths make no ambiguous
statements regarding the origin of our hair. The
hair they use must fulfil a certain criteria,
and have specific properties to ensure its excellent
quality. For this reason, Great Lengths are the
only company that obtains hair from its own sources

be
of superior quality with the cuticle layer completely
intact. The cuticle layer seals in moisture, protecting
hair form the elements and environmental damage.
The absence of the cutice layer dries hair rapidly
and makes it susceptible to breakage. As a result,
hair will look brittle lifeless and dull. That's
why Great lengths hair always looks radiant and
full of health, and is matt and tangle free.

Great
Lengths hair is 100% remis. This means our hair
strands are all facing in the direction of natural
hair growth. If hair were sourced with strands
facing in opposite directions, they would interlock
and cause matting; the same effect as backcombing!
Our hair is also double-drawn, which means it's
the same thickness from root to tip.

Lengths only
acquire hair in its natural, untreated condition
prior to processing for extensions. This means
there is no trace of colour or recent chemically
based treatments present in the hair we use; the
presence of which would make it unsuitable fro
our extensions. Procuring 'raw' hair means it
is more tolerable to our gentle Osmosis process
of colour removal and addition and pre-bonding
ready for application.
An
oval cross section of hair from European women
is typically 0.06-0.09mm in diameter. Great Lengths
source hair that is of compatible density and
character to give thenatural appearance and feel
of the client's own hair.
