beyond hair expectations, beyond Great lengths Beyond hair expectations, beyond Great Lengths: with the new campaign we aspire to improve the self-confidence and beauty of all people by offering hairstyles of various types that do not damage the natural hair. GREAT LENGTHS EXTENSIONS Great Lengths extensions are made from natural Remy and Double Drawn hair, coming from India and ethically sourced. They do not damage the hair and allow you to achieve many looks and hairstyles in a truly natural way! The common understanding of hair extensions is limited and Great Lengths strives daily to highlight the full potential of this product. Indeed, extensions can not only increase hair length, but also allow you to create color effects without chemicals, such as balayage, or increase hair volume in a practical and effective way. Whether Pre-Bonded or Tapes, they suit every hair type and every person, regardless of their gender. The new 2022 campaign also includes men's styling to highlight inclusivity by offering a trendy and characterful look. To create this effect, Great Lengths' Tapes extensions have been applied, with the shades used being 05, 28, and 85 from Natural Colors. The GL Tapes are made from genuine premium hair and are anchored to an extra-thin adhesive strip designed to cause no tension and to be totally flat on the head, guaranteeing total comfort, high performance, and fast application. The result is a new hairstyle concept to create a fuller effect and long, natural hair. ACHIEVABLE LOOKS There are many possibilities in terms of hairstyles that can be achieved with Great Lengths extensions. Depending on preferences and personality type, there is a suitable look. The first look is the typical surfer look, long and layered, left to air-dry for a 'natural wet' effect; an evergreen of cuts that gives fierceness and character. Thanks to Great Lengths extensions it is possible to wear this hairstyle just for the summer or for an event or short period without cutting or modifying the natural hair. Another timeless and always fashionable hairstyle is the Mullet. Straight from the 1980s, the Mullet was the most recognized hairstyle of the time among Punk singers and celebrities such as David Bowie, Jhon Travolta, and Rob Lowe. It is a cut defined as unisex and can be worn by both women and men. The cut is short at the front and longer at the sides and back. The Mullet also lends itself well to fluorescent color effects by means of the balayage technique, so it can be done with a mix of Natural and Fashion colors from Great Lengths. Another trendy haircut is the Shag, a long, layered, scaled cut with frayed ends that give extra volume in the middle section. This cut is easily achieved with Great Lengths extensions to achieve volume and length without damaging the hair or drastically altering the cut. In general, each look is easily achievable and it is possible to have fun allowing your imagination and curiosity to run wild without the need to cut or color natural hair while preserving its natural essence. Find your nearest certified salon and create your new look with experts to dare and change without regretting it!
beyond hair expectations, beyond Great lengths Beyond hair expectations, beyond Great Lengths: with the new campaign we aspire to improve the self-confidence and beauty of all people by offering hairstyles of all kinds that do not damage 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 and not over-lightening color effects that could burn the hair. Indirectly: taking supplements and vitamins that help growth and promote hair strength. Let's be honest, we all want hair as voluminous and shiny as 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 challenging 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.

You have to admit it... Our frenetic everyday lives often rob you of those little moments of self-care and relaxation that are good for your mind and body! It has become almost impossible to enjoy activities that relieve us of thoughts and tensions and we end up getting stuck between social and personal commitments. There are plenty of options for escaping and relaxing with a refreshing break... but the trend of the moment is spending an afternoon inside a luxury hotel. That's right, the luxury hotel is one of the few places where you can escape without distraction, in total peace and quiet; in an environment that can offer unique, totally tailor-made care and attention. Great Lengths cares deeply about the well-being of its customers and believes it is essential to create a relaxing ritual and luxurious atmosphere around the application of extensions. The brand can be found in many luxury salons located in exclusive hotels around the world thanks to our partnership with Rossano Ferretti, whose hairdressers are veritable oasis of relaxation and wellness. We had the pleasure of welcoming some guests to Rossano Ferretti's salon to share an afternoon of personal care. For the Milanese at the Four Seasons in Milan, for the Parisians at the Cheval Blanc in Paris, and for the New Yorkers at the Park Hyatt in New York. Each one of these wonderful hotels has a unique flavor and is able to transport you to another dimension. The real luxury is that, in addition to the beautiful rooms and suites, there is also access to a spa and a hair salon where you can indulge in relaxation and personal care. Inside these Rossano Ferretti’s salons, Great Lengths Tapes extensions can be applied. The Tapes are realized with premium quality natural hair; they are anchored to a super-thin adhesive, designed not to cause tension by remaining flat on the head. They deliver a variety of results: more volume, length, and even light effects such as balayage... all in just a few hours! Maria Vittoria and Silvia spent a few hours at the Four Seasons in Milan and applied for our GL Tapes extensions: look at the result! More volume, length, and natural, radiant color! In addition to hair care, there are many other activities you can do while relaxing in a luxury hotel and we share our favorites with you: Breakfast. Breakfast is one of our favorite hotel facilities. Extremely satisfying, varied, and well-prepared, it satisfies all types of cuisine and alimentary habits. Usually served as a buffet, the intercontinental breakfast ensures that the day begins in the best possible way. Brunch. For those latecomers to breakfast or those who like to combine breakfast with lunch, a brunch is a good option. From avocado toast to pancakes, it satisfies both sweet and savory appetites. Brunch is also the most Instagrammable meal, often accompanied by fruit and vegetable juices to make it healthier and colorful. Spa. One thing a luxury hotel should not miss is the spa ritual; between the hammam, the Finnish sauna, and the Turkish bath, the afternoon of relaxation gains a different flavor. And to make sure you don't miss anything you can end the day with a relaxing massage. Happy hour. In classic Italian style, the “aperitivo” time is around 7 pm and is the most awaited moment of the day. Luxury hotels have beautiful interior gardens or areas in which to enjoy a drink or some wine with refreshments. Have we inspired you to book a relaxing day at the hotel? Visit us in our certified salons or Rossano Ferretti’s salons inside some of the world's most beautiful hotels!
This year's spring appointment with your hairstylist will have a slightly different meaning. Following a difficult and uncertain period, the need for each of us is to feel free and happy; it is no coincidence that the spring 2022 hair trends are perfectly reflected in the desire for change and also a touch of lightness. Whether long, medium, or short, hair is the ideal tool for expressing your personality and having fun with different cuts, hairstyles, or color combinations! Throughout this article, you will find a few inspirations to help you shine as brightly as possible this spring 2022! Below we present our favorite hair trends for this spring: Voluminous French braids Our favorite trend of the moment is long French or Dutch braids, full of volume and looking flawless. This type of hairstyle allows you to let your imagination run wild: the hair can be pulled back only at the top, in its entirety, or in loose strands. To achieve this trendy and sophisticated look, Great Lengths extensions are the perfect solution. If your hair doesn't allow you to create long, thick, full-bodied braids, our GL Tapes can help you achieve the coolest look ever in a very short time, with a natural, smooth effect! The evergreen of haircuts: the bob It's impossible not to mention the one and only bob, a classic but always trendy haircut. Not only for straight hair but also for wavy or even curly hair, the bob is always suitable and stylish! It can be styled with a central parting, but can also be softened up with a side parting to make it more modern and personalized, as in the fashion shows of the new S/S 2022 collection. In order to make your bob more voluminous and fuller, Great Lengths extensions will be your hair stylist's faithful ally! The new and super trendy bottleneck fringe Most of the time we think we have to make a lot of changes to look different... but in the end, it can be a simple fringe that can revolutionize the look! Without altering your natural lengths, a fringe is a sophisticated detail for those who are afraid of regretting a cut... the new entry among fringes is called a bottleneck fringe: less demanding than the classic fringe, it gently frames the face like a curtain. Perfect for a fresh, outgoing look with character. The advantage of the curtain fringe is that it can be easily modified; in an interview with Vogue, Justine Marjan, USA brand ambassador, and famous hairstylist talking about Great Lengths extensions explained If you don't have the density to support your fringe in front, or if you have a short fringe you regret, ask your stylist to apply keratin extensions to the front for an imperceptible finish that will add fullness that you can easily cut to support the type of fringe you want. So, if you do regret your fringe, a return to your look is quickly and easily achieved with GL pre-bonded extensions. A dip into the past: short, layered looks If you're feeling melancholic and want to take a dip into the past, the right cut for you is the mixie. The mixie is derived from the two cuts pixie and mullet, a shortcut with a character that comes from a mix of modern and 80s styles. The back is longer than the famous mullet; this cut, along with the lily cut, are some of the most glamorous frayed and layered looks of the moment and if you're feeling daring, these are the cuts for you! Wet look and 70s straight hair One trend that will never go out of fashion is long hair. If you're one of those who would never have the audacity to cut your hair, don't! The 70s style of extra-straight hair is back on the catwalks; Burberry's haircut divides the hair with a central parting and leaves it naturally loose. Why not add a touch of wet look? The trend of the summer is wet-look hair; on Elisabetta Franchi's catwalks, the looks are worn backward with a wet effect, like after a dip in the sea! The coolest color effects of the moment If you are looking for a change of color in addition to, or as an alternative to, a haircut... the hottest brown of the moment is 'chocolate cake' with a caramel aftertaste for warmth or coffee for cooler tones. Great Lengths extensions are perfect for those who want to add highlights without damaging their natural hair. The GL Tapes that are best suited to brunettes with cooler tones are Roasted Chestnut (color Natural 06) and the perfect color for warm tones is Hello Honey (color Natural 08). The GL extensions will mix perfectly with your hair to create a look that is full of volume and natural! There are many trends for blondes, but the common basis is light. The Face framing is very popular at the moment and aims to illuminate the contours of the face, like the frame of a painting. For a natural effect, baby lights are light effects carried out on thin strands and totally freehand on the whole hair. What are you waiting for? Call your stylist and book your appointment. You'll leave everyone amazed! Find your nearest salon here.

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.
