The popularity of hair enhancement techniques has grown exponentially over the years. From weaves to wigs, infusions to glued in “tracks,” the phenomenon has finally given women the opportunity to have the hair of their dreams. But with so many options, what’s a girl to do? As some of these techniques potentially cause damage to one’s natural hair, it’s imperative to know what’s out there and possible side effects. Great Lengths Artistic Director, Darren Brokaw, explains how hair extensions can enhance your look without damage to your hair.

When you decide to try Great Lengths Extensions, your first step is to meet with a Great Lengths Certified stylist for a consultation. Once the desired result is determined, your stylist will be able to determine the colors, length and quantity of strands that are needed. Single strands are applied approximately 1.5 cm distance from the scalp by either the Classic or Ultrasonic machines. Assuming lengthening your hair is the objective, the average application time is 4 to 6 hours. All Great Lengths methods are designed for every hair type. Therefore, the “appropriate” method is not based upon hair “type,” rather it is based upon desired result.
