What Are Great Length Extensions, Anyway?
Great Length’s are not your average run-of-the-mill hair extensions. The concept for Great Length Extensions began in London, England in the early 1990’s – taking their inspiration from the textile industry and the heat transfer system which bonded fabric to fabric on a molecular level. With this method in mind, Great Lengths created a completely new and unique way to molecularly bond extensions to natural hair.
The goal was to create a type of hair extension that appeared natural and was gentle on the scalp. And thus, Great Length Hair Extensions were born.
Today, salons like Autumn Markley Salon in Fort Lauderdale offer Great Length Extensions to clients because we stand behind the look, quality, and comfort of the brand.
The Process of Adding Great Length Extensions to Natural Hair
There are two application options that Great Lengths Extensions offer, each with their own unique benefits. Before choosing one over the other, we always recommend that you speak with one of our talented team members at Autumn Markley Salon. However, it is always better to be as informed as possible, right? With that in mind, here is a little guide to the key differences for you to overview before meeting with your stylist:

Are Great Length Extensions Right For You?
If you are considering hair extensions, but aren’t entirely sure where to begin, Great Length Extensions might be the right place to start. While other hair extensions may add length to your locks, Great Extensions have many more benefits that will help you look and feel your best.
Whether you are looking for a total style change, or just need to add a little volume to your ‘do, Great Length Extensions can help you out. Here are a few of our favorite benefits:
Volume that never goes out of style: Are you struggling with thinning or lifeless hair that no amount of hairspray and teasing can help? Set down the teasing comb and try Great Length Extensions instead. You will add life and volume back to your natural look with ease simply by adding these extra layers in between your natural strands. The best news? Unlike those other methods, Great Extensions won’t tear out or break off your natural hair!
They only source Indian Remy Temple Hair: While roughly 75% of imported hair comes from China, Great Length Hair Extensions can be counted on to only source 100% authentic Indian hair. Why does this make a difference? The molecular structure and overall feel and appearance of Indian hair is the closest in similarity to North American and European hair. These strands will be glossy, thick, strong, and free from harsh chemicals.
Great Length Hair Extensions are ethically sourced: Here at Autumn Markley Salon, we take pride in products that are sourced in an ethically and morally correct way. Great Lengths representatives personally choose their extensions through temple donations and auctions in India. The proceeds from the temples donations and auctions go to providing food for the congregants, aiding the sick, and supporting orphanages and schools. On top of this, initial preparation and sorting of extensions is done in India, providing work to hundreds of locals.
Get the length you’ve always dreamed of: For some of us, our natural hair just refuses to grow any longer after a certain point. For others, you just might not have the patience or time to wait for six inches to grow. Whatever your reason may be, Great Lengths was named this for a reason. These extensions add the length you desire and blend the strands to your locks for an end result that is beautiful and natural-looking.
The science behind Great Lengths is there for a reason: Before reaching Autumn Markley Salon in Fort Lauderdale, Great Lengths Extensions travel from India to the company’s processing facility in Italy. Once the hair arrives at the facility, it is tested for elasticity and strength. Employees are trained to ensure the cuticle layers are intact, and that the hair is to the high standard expected for each bundle of extensions. If all requirements and expectations are met, the hair is sewn onto strips of muslin to keep it aligned during the next step.
Great Lengths decolorizing method is so good its patented: Great Lengths Extensions have created a method in which they can remove the natural pigment from hair without the use of harsh ammonia derivatives or damaging bleach. No small feat! What does this mean for you? The hair stays healthy, gorgeous, and strong, while still being receptive to any of Great Lengths 50+ distinct hair colors.
Texture you’ll want to run your fingers through: Great Length Hair Extensions are an incredible way to improve the overall texture and feel of your hair. The finish is silky and smooth, so they do not just feel fantastic, too!
Color hand crafted and blended to perfection: Great Length Hair Extensions create their own exclusive line of shades hand crafted to the highest quality and believability. Their team of master colorists form these gorgeous colors in small batches by hand, then create the final hues by hand-blending the tones together.
Consistency is key: Once the team at Great Lengths completes the coloring process, the hair is hand-sorted and aligned to ensure that each and every bundle is a similar length and tone. What does this mean for you? There will never be any inconsistencies when ordering a specific color or length – you can count on Great Lengths.
Safe for your hair and for you: Have you considered the damage and chemicals that harsh dyes have on you and your hair? Great Length Hair Extensions has a vast array of colors to choose from, so you can pick the perfect shade and transform your hair without the damage.
