?’s about my GL extensions. Pic included

Hello,

I'm new to this board and had some questions about my recent Great Lengths install. The hair was put in on March 9th and it's been holding up extremely well. I haven't lost one bond yet and the shedding is minimal. Overall, I'm very pleased with the results. Here's how they look like today (almost 8 weeks later)...

I went in to my stylist a few days ago and she says that I should be able to keep them in until July but after reading some of the information here on this board, I'm a little worried. Is it true that they must be removed after 12 weeks? Also, I'm going on vacation soon and I'm wondering how they will hold up after swimming in the ocean. I went swimming with them once at home but I was able to dry the bonds immediately afterward. Will I need to do this after swimming in the ocean? Any information is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I have GL, Had them since Jan 18th, mine are doing great. Yes, you an swim in them dry right away, they gave me anti tap to put in before and after swimming.  I am sad that mine are coming out Wed of this week,

Thanks for your response. If you don't mind me asking, why are you taking them out so soon? Is it because they "need" to be removed? I'm really confused because the girl who did mine says I can have them for 4-5 months while a lot of other people say 3 months is the max. My cousin has been getting them for 5 years and she always leaves them in for 6 months but her hair is pretty fragile from it. I have healthy hair and I'd like to keep it that way.

Does anyone else know about this? Thank you.
