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!

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 various hairstyles that do not damage the natural hair. 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. The result is a new hairstyle concept to create a more voluminous effect and long, natural hair. GL Tapes are very flexible and can be used double or single. They offer unprecedented durability (approximately 6-8 weeks) and can be reused up to 3 times. What are you waiting for?

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.

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.
