Hi everyone, Your input is greatly appreciated. I have been checking into different types of extensions. My own hair is shoulder length with a layer- healthy and thick, but I want more length and shine. I want straighter and sleek. I am sick of blowing dry with a brush and fussing over it. I want a jenn anniston look. Now I am ready to take the plunge into more permanent extensions. I am considering Great lengths, but would like input. I do not want to damage my own hair . I am very active and need to wash my hair each day. I workout all the time, so I need something durable. ( the clip ins have been good since I remove before working out- no one notices since it is not a dramatic length or color change) I know extensiosn call for extra care, but what methods have you tried and recommend?? I definitely want the highest quality virgin remy hair- don't mind spending , but want my $$$ worth. Don't need a full head worth for the look I want. maybe. With my clip ins I usually wear one or two tracks from ear to ear. I considered fusion for a moment, but the glue scares me. Even considered a bonded weft for a few weeks to see if I want to make to commitment to real extensions vs. clips. Is glue really that damaging with proper care? Please help.... I just read about some clamp/copper coil..curious about that too. What bout the "new flat" anyone heard of that? I need advice badly. Don't want to end up with a knotted mess and less $1500.
-thanks so much -JJ

Most brand name extensions are not worth the big bucks you pay to get them. Great lengths has good hair, but the bonds (glue) will probably damage your hair, maybe severely. Hairlocs, the copper shell, will wreck your hair more reliably and spectacularly than Great lengths.
Visit the hair extension board to see how you can do a better job yourself affordably. -------------

Hi , I have been wearing great lengths for 4 yrs already , after i have had to cut my hair short because of damage . Great lengths extensions got me thru the bad period ... Now my hair is long and I just cant part with them . I love the way they look, the bonding is absolutely not damaging to your own hair and the best part is : the quality is excellent and noone will ever know ... even at the beach or if you put your hair up . Make sure you get an experienced stylist to put them on .. you dont want your extensions looking like Paris Hilton's ( who also wears great lengths but she has really short hair and the extensions she wears are way too long )
Definitely worth the $$$ ------------- Always a blonde...Forever a Blonde ! |

Thank you everyone so much for your input. I have been reading so much on these boards and there are so many options...I really do not know what to do. I have seen some beautiful fusion work and am considering that- I realy cannot justify spending $1000 or more on GL just for 8 weeks of hair and so many if-y reviews. For every good review- I read 5 bad ones! I did locate a very experienced GL stylist here in Orlando who I am going in to have a consult with. She seems to know more than anyone else I have talked to and I figure it is worth getting educated on. She has been doing GL for 7 years. I am shying away from GL, though. I know there are options that cost less and look great. Are there any recommendations? My hair is fine, but thick- I have a lot of hair. It is shoulder length and strong. I want to preserve my hair and the hope is that I will just get the extensions to get me through growing it a little longer and growing out a layer. I am also going for just a little more length. Although I say I only want edtnesins for a little bit, I have a feeling that once I get them, I will not want to live with out them. I am a "hair girl" - daughter of a hairdresser! it is a blessing and a curse. Please advise on your preferred types of extensions. I just cannot make up my mind- there is so much on the boards. Thanks a million.
