The popularity of the Great Lengths Hair Extension has seen a tremendous increase in recent times. This is due to the fact that the product can give the user an instant length and thickness to the hair. Also, these extensions do not take long to do and are quite affordable. However, as with anything else, there are a few things that people should know before buying these extensions so that they can make the right choice.

Firstly, it is important to know what you want to achieve with them. Are you planning to just add a few strands to your normal hair, or would you like to go for some more permanent length and volume? Do you want to do this from your hair salon, or do you want to do it at home? The answer to the last question will determine the kind of extension that you should buy. For home application, you will probably want to buy semi-permanent ones as they give a little more to hold than the semi-permanent ones do. But remember, the longer you use them, the more money you will have to pay to keep them in place.

Secondly, it is important to know how to care for the extensions that you buy. It is important that you wash them regularly so that you can avoid them from breaking. However, if you have a lot of hair, it might be worth buying a washing machine specifically made for hair extensions so that you do not need to use a hair dryer to do your washing. If you are going to wash them by hand then it is advisable to use shampoo designed for the different types of extensions. Never wash your hair straight as it will cause damage and stretching.

Always ensure that your Great Lengths extensions are stored away from heat, sunlight and cold. In order to preserve the life of the hair, they should be kept in a cool place where there is no fluctuation in temperature. When placed in the sun, the hair may become dry and brittle which will quickly break the extensions. Do not try to expose your new hair to extreme cold as this can also cause it to break. Also, it is important that you do not brush or comb your new hair while it is still wet so that it does not create pressure on the extensions.

It is advisable to get your hair measured each month. Measure your hair from the base of your head to the tip of your hair as this will help you know how long the extensions will last. Always use a comb to take the measurement. This will ensure that you do not remove too much hair at once, otherwise it may not be evenly distributed on your head.

Finally, if you are going to purchase them from a salon, it is important to know how to install them properly. There are different techniques that are used when applying extensions. Make sure that you ask the stylist that is most suitable for you. This way you will be able to make an informed decision before spending your money.
