| Q. |
Do Great Lengths extensions damage your own hair? |
| A. |
The Great Lengths technologies
ensure that there is no damage to your own hair, providing that you
follow the correct after care program as recommended by your Great
Lengths technician and you visit the hair salon for a regular
maintenance (preferably monthly). Your hair should be in the same
condition after the extensions are removed as it was before, if not
better. |

| Q. |
Where does the hair come from? |
| A. |
All Great Lengths hair originates from India. Because of its same
genetic origin the basic structure of Indian hair is similar to that
of European hair. Indian women traditionally cut off their long
plait of hair either at their wedding -as a symbol of starting their
new life- or if they want to ask a special favor or offer thanks to
a deity at a religious temple. This collection method allows
numerous benefits:-
- The cuticle layer of the hair is perfectly healthy and intact
since Indian hair is of exceptional quality and Indian woman
rarely visit hair salons for chemical treatments of any kind.
- Weaving the hair into a plait ensures that all the hair is
aligned in one direction which minimizes tangling.
- The hair is homogeneous in color and thickness

| Q. |
How are the extensions connected to your own hair? |
| A. |
It is the bond that distinguishes
Great Lengths from all other hair extension techniques. Great
Lengths utilizes a patented 'protein' bond. The 'protein bond' is of
a similar molecular composition as that of human hair. This
technology enables the bond to withstand any condition that your own
hair can withstand. The 'protein bond' is activated by the Great
Lengths applicator that bonds the Great Lengths hair to your own
hair. The similarities in molecular composition ensures that there
is no damage caused to your own hair, unlike other hair extension
technologies that utilize glues, welding, waxing or knotting that
can damage your hair. |

We recommend that three months

these maintenance appointments it may be necessary to remove bonds
that have become untidy and replace them with new extensions. This
is dependant on the individual and will vary according to ones
natural hair growth. |
