THE LITTLE PRINCESS TRUST & GREAT LENGTHS

James Henderson is Great Lengths Global Charity Ambassador and CEO of M Hair, the sole Great Lengths Supreme Salon. With over 35 years of experience in the hair extensions industry, he has dedicated his career to enhancing client’s beauty and confidence.

In 2015, James was responsible for creating an exclusive and impactful partnership between Great Lengths and The Little Princess Trust, a charity devoted to providing free wigs to children facing hair loss due to cancer treatments and other illnesses. Each wig is custom-made, allowing these brave young individuals to reclaim their sense of style and confidence.

James has long been passionate about hair extensions, but what truly struck him was the remarkable quality of Great Lengths extensions even after removal. Realizing the potential to make a difference, he reached out to The Little Princess Trust, proposing the idea of recycling removed extensions as hair donations. After sending a sample for a test wig, the positive feedback led to the thriving collaboration.

James hope for the future is where every Great Lengths wearer embraces the spirit of giving by donating their used extensions to this worthwhile cause. Through his efforts, he inspires others to join him in making a meaningful impact in the lives of children in need.

Supply Chain & Production

Great Lengths philosophy is to only source hair from voluntary donations deriving from religious practices. Great Lengths selects the very best human hair, willingly donated as an act of devotion. Each person that chooses to donate their hair has been treated with respect and care.

Italy

All the natural hair qualities are preserved by undergoing a specific process at our production facility in Rome. All processed hair is Remy and Double Drawn meaning that all the cuticles are in the same direction and the hair has the same thickness from root to tip.

Worldwide

Great Lengths extensions are distributed in more than 50 countries around the world and applied only by our certified hair stylists.

Donation

When the extensions are removed, clients can choose to donate them to the Little Princess Trust through their certified stylist. The stylist will then send the donation directly to Great Lengths, who expertly prepare the hair, ready for the charity to receive.

the Little
Princess Trust

The Little Princess Trust provides free real hair wigs to children and young people, up to 24 years old, who have lost their own hair through cancer treatment or other conditions.

The Little Princess Trust, founded in the United Kingdom in 2005, is a charity that provides free real hair wigs to children and young people up to the age of 24, who have lost their own hair through cancer treatment or other conditions.

They also fund childhood cancer research searching to find kinder and more effective treatments.

The partnership between Great Lengths and The Little Princess Trust exists thanks to the work of James Henderson, CEO of M Hair and Great Lengths extension expert. Recognizing the exceptional and unmatched quality of Great Lengths, he came up with the idea of creating a connection with The Little Princess Trust, ensuring that removed extensions could be repurposed as hair for wig-making.

To this day, Great Lengths extensions are the only ones accepted by the charity.

Below are the simple steps to join this initiative:

Request a Little Princess Trust Pack
When placing your client’s order, please request a Little Princess Trust pack. This pack includes hair ties and a client donation card, making the donation process smooth and straightforward.
Prepare the extensions
Once the extensions are removed, please brush and tie them into a loose ponytail. All types of Great Lengths extensions are accepted.
Packaging your donation
Place the prepared extensions and the completed client donation card into an envelope. This will help keep track of the donations and update you on the impact of your contribution.
Send your donation
Finally, please post the donation envelope to your designated Great Lengths supplier. They will handle the next steps in delivering this gift to the Little Princess Trust.

Please ask your Great Lengths stylist how to donate your used extensions.

These are the requirements your extensions must meet to be suitable for donation:

Length

The hair should be at least 16 inches (40cm) long.

Quality

The quality of the hair is very important, the hair needs to be a natural colour and in good condition. It must be clean and dry, free from conditioner or other product residues.

The Little Princess Trust receives the shipment with your hair extensions, appropriately prepared and completed with the donation card. Then, the hair is divided by length and colour and is logged in the system. Next, the donation certificate is generated and sent to you. Finally, your hair extensions are sent off to be prepared, ready to be transformed into a wig.

Yes! Any donation is more than welcome. Just ask to your Great Lengths stylist how to proceed.
