Autumn has always been considered a time of change. September has taken away the summer and opens a new, fresh, and rejuvenating time. Fall is a reflective and magical season that enables to look within ourselves and plan our new goals. All social activities and summer planning are now over and we prepare for a new autumn to focus on ourselves. Healthy food, sports, relaxing evenings, personal care and of course a new hair look! In autumn the atmosphere becomes more relaxed, we have more time to focus on our well-being, and we take care of ourselves again. Hair is the part of our look that is most related to change, to self-renewal. That's why everyone, starting with celebrities, decides to change and renew their look with the arrival of fall and the colder season. Someone enjoys a new cut, short and jaunty, and someone else decides to change a detail, such as layer their hair or add a fringe to the look. People who want to dare a bit more, on the other hand, revolutionize their hair color, even turning to more particular and bright colors. In any case, the change in hairstyle is definitely a marked change that will not go unnoticed. Among the trends for fall 2022 we see long and layered cuts but also shorter and more vibrant cuts. The fringe always remains a must to give character to your look. LONG HAIR The long haircut is back, but this time more layered and voluminous. Great Lengths is the ideal solution for those with short hair who want to experience the vibes of long, voluminous hair. In fact, with Great Lengths' Tapes you can not only lengthen your hair and create dimension to the cut, but also add volume for a fuller look. The important thing is to scale the hair properly after applying the extensions, creating layers around the face to soften it and add dimension. Whether with a wavy or smooth style, the final look will look great and give you even more self-confidence. Short hair Long hair is not the only trend for fall 2022, as the classic short haircut is still very much fashionable. The wavy lob remains among the most fashionable cuts, adapted then according to the type of personality who wears it and depending on the facial features. The short cut lengthens a bit compared to classic short cuts by falling below the shoulder. Trending colors As for hair colors in vogue for fall 2022, we see a trend toward warm shades and the (almost) abandonment of cold shades. The trendy highlights are golden, bright, and luminous. Warm and golden blond is the trendiest color and gives brightness to the face while softening the features. Sticking to brown tones, on the other hand, highlights are always very trendy, and caramel-colored highlights are planned for this fall. If you do not want to use products that could damage your hair, Great Lengths offers a solution: add some Pre-Bonded strands or a few Tapes of Golden Bronde (col. 86) to your hair to create a totally chemical-free, great-looking balayage. Another really trendy color is coppery red. On social channels such as TikTok and Instagram so many Girls are moving toward this intense shade that is reminiscent of warm and bright autumn foliage tones. Great Lengths offers five different shades of red, and the ones best suited to follow this copper trend are Vibrant Copper (col. 70) and Auburn Allure (col. 73). Many celebrities have chosen to change their hair looks for this fall! Sophie Turner and Emma Stones followed the copper red hair trend, as did Cara Delevigne. In fact, the latter has created a new hairstyle using Pre-Bonded locks from Great Lengths in the color Turning Terracotta (col.31). Check out her new look below!

The general mood of the last years is certainly more libertine and wilder. In almost all industries, especially in fashion and beauty, trends are pushing toward naturalness and the acquisition of greater awareness and self-esteem. The hair trends for summer 2022 are many, inspired by catwalks or film stars, it is easy to take inspiration and change your look, but the important thing is to follow your instincts and create a hairstyle that reflects your personality. Changing the look is perceived as changing life, revolutionizing it, and starting again. This theory is in history; consider Lady Diana in 1992 who, after her divorce, gave herself a new short, jaunty haircut as a sign (for herself and others) of a fresh start. Caroline of Monaco also followed this philosophy as, after the death of her husband Stefano Casiraghi, she cut her hair into a bob. But change does not have to come after a sad event, it can also be a point of restarting towards a new project, a new direction, a new beginning. Revolutionizing the look and style is part of all of us, the desire for change, for a breath of fresh air and to feel different is a common and frequent feeling that needs to be indulged. This is why Great Lengths extensions are faithful allies of women and men who want to dare and pursue their desired hairstyle. Summer trends are many, it is true, but they quickly give way to new ones. Have you ever followed a hair trend only to regret it a few months later because it was no longer fashionable? But by then you have cut your hair, or colored it, and often also weakened and damaged it. Great Lengths offers its customers a wide range of extensions with shades to suit all tastes and allow you to follow the latest trends while keeping up with the times. THE LOOK If you want a voluminous, layered look with a balayage effect, it can be achieved in a few hours and without the use of chemicals. Brown balayage is a coloring technique that looks totally natural and is reminiscent of the effect of lightning done by the sun. This light and dark brown balayage aims to create a fuller and more natural effect. The perfect mix of brown tones was achieved with GL Tapes in the colors 02, 03, and 05 in 20'' length. GL Tapes are made from genuine top-quality hair and are anchored to an extra-thin adhesive strip designed to cause no tension and to lie completely flat on the head, guaranteeing total comfort, high performance, and fast application.

beyond hair expectations, beyond Great lengths Beyond hair expectations, beyond Great Lengths: with the new campaign we aspire to enhance the self-confidence and beauty of all people by providing hairstyles of many kinds without damaging the natural hair. Hair is an essential part of our body and gives us charm and confidence. However, it happens quite often that hair gets damaged or broken, whether due to health reasons or frequent use of straighteners, irons or color treatments. How many women have found themselves with burnt and broken hair? Perhaps once in a lifetime it happens to each of us. However, hair must be cared for constantly: - Directly: using high quality products (shampoo, conditioner, masks, oils), not overdoing the use of straighteners or irons, not over-lightening color effects that could burn the hair. - Indirectly: by taking supplements and vitamins that help hair growth and promote hair strength. Let's be honest, we all want hair as voluminous and shiny as what we see on the catwalks... but especially in hot and humid weather, even going to the hairdresser for a blow-dry is not what we expect and our hair becomes flat and frizzy after a few hours. The hair volume of the 60s is difficult to achieve at home and time-consuming. Great Lengths offers an alternative solution. Did you know that with hair extensions you can achieve hair full of volume and movement? Our hair is Double Drawn and Remy, all of which allow for a totally natural and smooth look. Once the extensions have been applied in one of Great Lengths' certified salons, you can let your imagination run wild and create lots of easy but trendy hairstyles that will give you that extra touch'. The most popular trends of the moment are soft and jaunty hairstyles, as fashion demands these days. Let's take a look at some of the most popular hair trends of the moment: - Use of hair accessories: the use of satin scrunchies (soft voluminous elastic bands) is very common lately. This type of elastic does not cause damage to the hair as it is very soft and, unlike traditional bands, does not break the hair. Many hairstyles can be created with scrunchies, including braids, tails, chignons and much more. The hairstyle can also be enriched with other accessories such as a headband, headscarf or hair clips. Hair accessories are very fashionable at the moment because they give an unpretentious but stylish look. - Braids framing the face or diffused in the hair: from Coachella onwards, this trend has never stopped, on the contrary, it has evolved to open up the imagination. Frontal braids framing the face are the trend of the moment, as shown by Hailey Bieber or Kendall Jenner up to Valentina Ferragni. This look can also be achieved with several scattered braids, often enriched with thin colored bands to create color in the hair and more dimension. - Soft hairstyles: as mentioned above, the hairstyles of the moment are almost all soft and easy-going. Chignons and ponytails can be high or low, but the common denominator must be a somewhat messy and disheveled style, with tufts spread out to be enriched by various accessories. Ponytails are worn either low or high, leaving a few hairs out to make the look more casual; the same goes for chignons, which often have the two front tufts uncombed and loose. The half-tail is also very much in vogue, as it allows the hair to be tied back but leaving part of it loose. THE LOOK All of these trends are easily achievable after the application of Great Lengths Pre-Bonded hair extensions and perform even better because the hairstyles will be more voluminous and fuller. Volume is an important plus that gives movement and dimension to both loose hair and hair styled in the coolest ways. To achieve this warm-toned look with red and golden undertones, Tapes extensions in shades 08, 24, 84 and 85 from Great Lengths were applied.

B Corp sustainability is becoming an increasingly popular topic but what does B Corp mean? This was one of the questions that Great Lengths asked Valentina Ciurlante, who represents the B Corp Movement in Italy. During our interview, we talked about the positive energy that is created when awareness is used constructively. Her first encounter with the world of B Corp companies was during a trip to South America. Once back in Italy, she decided to embark on a professional path to promote that same ethical philosophy in her home country. Eventually, her research led her to Nativa, Italy's first B Corp, a country partner for B Lab and one of the movement’s founding companies in Europe. Nativa aims to promote the B Corp philosophy in Italy and guide Italian companies towards a positive impact. So, getting back to our first question, what is a B Corp? B Corporations, are companies certified by B Lab that intend to change the way we do business. They aim to define a new type of company, where the purpose is not only to generate financial profit for shareholders but also to make a profit for the benefit of people and the environment, using a more responsible, sustainable and transparent approach. The B Corp certification represents the company's brand awareness, which is promoted internally in order to improve results and stimulate further growth; and externally, to raise awareness and encourage more businesses to join the network. How can a company become a B Corp? To get certified, B Corp companies must be assessed by B Lab, a non-profit network that measures their performance according to a universal yardstick: the company's positive impact on society and the planet. The B Impact Assessment (BIA) is the assessment tool used to measure, compare and improve a company’s performance. A company that scores between 80 and 200 points is awarded a certificate of excellence that confirms its compliance with the highest standards of social and environmental performance. The BIA is also the tool used by the United Nations to measure the company’s performance on the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. What does a B Corp do? The B Corp philosophy is based on the principle of interdependence, which means going beyond the boundaries of corporate competitiveness to share knowledge and technical expertise, making them available and a benefit to all. This is the philosophy on which the B Corp Beauty Coalition movement was founded in 2021. It is an alliance of international B Corp companies specializing in the beauty segment that have decided to join efforts to enhance quality standards by using their business as a positive force for change. 'Beauty for Good' is the mission promoted by the B Corp Beauty Coalition to improve social and environmental practices and raise customer awareness towards more ethical consumer choices. Great Lengths, too, recently joined the B Corp Beauty Coalition, becoming the first sustainable hair extensions B Corp to promote a new, more responsible and conscious beauty model. How does a B Corp work? Certified B Corp companies are required to set internal goals and track the progress of their quality standards over a three-year cycle. In the meantime, they must follow specific working groups to achieve an annual objective in collaboration with other B Corp-certified businesses through communication campaigns to promote projects and initiatives. #UnlockTheChange is the Italian communication campaign created in 2020 during the pandemic lockdown period to 'unlock the change' and raise people's awareness about the achievements made by Italian B Corp brands. The first Italian B Corp report was released on 21 February. This document illustrates the results of the Italian B Corp community, the activities it carried out in 2021 and the commitments for 2022 regarding joint initiatives such as #UnlockTheChange, #UnlockGenderEquality, #UnlockNetZero and #UnlockEducation. In conclusion, what does it mean to be a B Corp? You become a B Corp to aspire to a better future, where more and more companies compete positively, not only to be the best in the world but to be the best for the world. Great Lengths firmly believes in this sustainability philosophy. Behind the company's name, in fact, is the quality of premium hair extensions, made with the care and dedication of creative talents using their knowledge and passion. Thank you, Valentina.
The spirituality of the Nature In this increasingly developed and fast-paced reality, we look for an intimate and less hectic dimension, where we can slow down and appreciate the quality of life. The American poet Emily Elizabeth Dickinson, lived by this philosophy, choosing to spend her time away from the city’s vanities. Her poems are born out of this introspective experience, where Nature is a recurring theme because it becomes the key to unlocking the door to meditation. Dickinson’s love of the living world drove her to pour all her energy and passion into her writings, as she embarked on a journey of spiritual growth towards achieving intimate self-knowledge and a better understanding of the meaning of life. Nature is what we see “Nature” is what we see— The Hill—the Afternoon— Squirrel—Eclipse—the Bumble bee— Nay—Nature is Heaven— Nature is what we hear— The Bobolink—the Sea— Thunder—the Cricket— Nay—Nature is Harmony— Nature is what we know— Yet have no art to say— So impotent Our Wisdom is To her Simplicity. Nature is everywhere, and we can perceive it through our senses, admiring and feeling its presence. When we listen to our natural urges, we project ourselves into a spiritual dimension of inner awareness. In Paradise harmony surrounds us, but we cannot express it. The more human knowledge becomes articulated, the less we can represent the simplicity of nature. Even though humankind's progress is always faster and its inventions more and more extraordinary, the greatness of the universe will undoubtedly be unreachable. Over the last few decades, several companies have followed a philosophy that respects the needs and values of the world. WHAT DOES BEING A B CORP MEAN? To us, being a B Corp means bringing ethics into business, feeding a virtuous circle where community, business, and environment connect and benefit mutually. Becoming a B Corp is a journey of responsibility towards the planet. The core of this philosophy is respect for the environment and the people within it. When people choose B Corp-certified products, our customers choose a noble cause that stands for an ethical business, that will reinvest in positive ventures like an infinite circle.
