FAQ
1. Who are the best candidates for extensions?
Just about anyone who would like volume, length, texture or colour. Most people are aware that extensions will give you length in an instant, no patiently waiting for years and years for it to grow.
Excellent results are also achieved for those wanting thicker hair no matter the length, the only rule here is that your hair must be at least 10cm in length in order to be suitable for Great Lengths hair extensions. Great Lengths can also give you chemical free highlights that won’t damage your hair or a smooth, frizz free and youthful texture if your hair has become course and unmanageable over the years. Anyone who has experienced medical hair loss such as alopecia or is currently experiencing hormonal hair loss or scalp conditions should not consider hair extensions.
2. What type of hair is used and why?
As a general rule, Indian hair is the most versatile hair of all hair types to be used in hair extensions as it is pliable and has natural wave. Great Lengths sources the very best human hair from Indian Hindu Temples. The hair has been donated by worshippers as an act of devotion to their gods, known as tonsuring. Only those who believe and wish to partake in the religious act of tonsuring donate their hair. The temple then sells the hair to Great Lengths and uses the money to help the community.
3. Ethically speaking, what sets Great Lengths apart from other extensions?
With no regulatory body to enforce rules and regulations within the industry, many unfounded claims can be made regarding hair quality, origin and ethical standards. For this reason Great Lengths introduced the Setting Fair Standards Stamp. This is our guarantee that Great Lengths hair meets the criteria set out below of being 100% traceable, ethical and of the highest quality.
THE SETTING FAIR STANDARDS CRITERIA:
• Every strand has been donated willingly and with the full consent of the donor.
• The donor has been treated with respect and care.
• A fair and reasonable price is agreed for the hair and the money used to procure
the hair is used solely for charitable endeavours, not for personal or individual profit.
• A company representative procures the hair to cut out unreliable middlemen and
ensure full and direct knowledge of the origin of the hair.
• Exclusive in-house production process is used from procurement of the hair to
wholesale selling the extension to ensure full traceability.
Great Lengths remains the only hair extension company that is involved in the full process, from sourcing of the hair at the temples through production to selling into exclusive salons around the world. This cuts out any middle men and ensures that the supply chain remains ethical and traceable.
4. Typically, how long does it take to have Great Lengths hair extensions applied?
A full head generally takes between 1 and a half to 4 hours.
5. How do you match the hair colour?
We use roughly 3 shades of extensions: one colour slightly lighter than the client’s hair, one colour slightly darker than the client’s hair and one colour that exactly matches the client’s hair. 70% of the colour should match the client’s natural hair and a 30% split for the high and lowlights.
6. What measures need to be taken to maintain the extensions?
Do not shampoo your hair for 48 hours after your Great Lengths service. Brush your hair twice a day using a Great Lengths brush which is specifically designed for Great Lengths hair extensions. Do not use hard brush strokes. Prior to bed, pull your hair back into a soft plait to prevent tangling while sleeping. Return to your salon two weeks after your extensions have been applied for a check-up appointment. After swimming, apply the Great Lengths Anti-Tap Water remedy to eliminate damage from alkalinity in water.
7. Typically, how long do extensions last?
If the correct maintenance guidelines are followed, Great Lengths hair extensions last up to 6 months.
8. How are they removed and what kind of condition is hair left in?
Great Lengths hair extensions are pre-bonded to ensure easy application and removal by an extensions expert. After the bond is dissolved with the Great Lengths removal solution, the hair will be left in its natural state with no damage to the cuticle.
9. CanI use Styling implements on my hair extensions?
Curling irons and hot rollers may be used on Great Lengths hair extensions, but keep them at least 3cm to 4cm away from the hair bonds.

Ethical FAQs
IS ALL HAIR DONATED VOLUNTARILY?
Yes. At all of the temples where Great Lengths sources its hair (mainly Tirupati but occasionally other temples), only those who believe and wish to partake in the religious act of tonsuring donate their hair. Great Lengths does not buy from the scores of middlemen who peddle hair and collect from villages. We work exclusively with a business partner in the procurement of our hair from the temples, to ensure that all Great Lengths hair is 100% ethically sourced and 100% traceable.
DO THE DONATORS RECEIVE ANYTHING IN RETURN FOR THEIR OFFERINGS?
The donors consider the spiritual reward for sacrificing their hair (or other possessions) to the gods to be more valuable than money. Some (Westerners) argue that the only way to fairly acquire the hair is to pay money back to the donator. This is purely a Western idea of what is valuable and it is incongruent to the indigenous Indian beliefs. If the donators wanted money in exchange for their hair, they would sell it to the hair collectors in the village.
HOW DO THE TEMPLES USE THE MONEY THAT IS MADE VIA HAIR AUCTIONS?
A small amount of money is used for regular temple maintenance and the wages of the people who work there and ALL the remaining proceeds are channelled back into society for funding of schools, hospitals, orphanages, etc…
DOES THE DONATOR KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO THEIR HAIR? AND THAT MONEY IS BEING MADE OUT OF THEIR DONATION?
Visit www.greatlengths.com, where we feature documentaries substantiating the fact that the donors are quite aware/pleased that their hair is being sold by the temples and that the proceeds are funding orphanages, schools and medical assistance to those in need. There are doctors filmed who testify to the fact that the operations they perform are funded thanks to the temple’s contribution as a result of the hair auctions.
IS ALL HAIR DONATED USED IN GREAT LENGTHS EXTENSIONS?
No. Children’s hair and men’s hair is too short to be used in our extensions. The minimum required length for our hair extensions is 10”, making this hairunsuitable.
WHAT HAPPENS TO UNUSED HAIR, OR HAIR THAT IS DEEMED TOO SHORT FOR GREAT LENGTHS? Unused hair will be sold to a secondary market, which utilises this source for the production of inexpensive clips or toupées. All the other remnants either get used for the manufacturing of oil filters or to fill mattresses and / or get sent to China where keratin is extracted from the hair for subsequent use in the cosmetic industry.
ARE WOMEN BEING EXPLOITED IN INDIA FOR THEIR HAIR NOW THAT IT HAS BECOME A VALUABLE COMMODITY?
There are growing concerns over the Indian hair trade as this excerpt from The Observer highlights: ‘I was held down by a gang of men who hacked at my hair,’ she says. ‘I’m not the only one who has been attacked. I know other women who have been blackmailed and threatened to shave their own heads, in some cases their husbands have received money for their hair and ordered their wives to have their heads shaved. There is a lot of money to be made from hair not just from temples but from villages like ours, the police don’t care, they will do
nothing to protect women.’
This is why it is so important to ask the question “Where does the hair come from?” It is absolutely critical that the hair extension industry works together to stamp out illegal activity like this and to develop ethical benchmarks.
Great Lengths is proud to be at the forefront of this campaign.
