No and there are multiple reasons why.
- The removal process obviously involves destroying the bond and the GL bond is one of the most important points of difference of the product. Great Lengths arrive to the stylist with the bond pre-tipped to the Great Lengths Hair. This “pre-tipped” feature is vital in a stylist ability to make clean and precise attachments. Clean and precise attachments are vital to protecting the client’s natural hair and in the overall appearance of the application. To “re-use” Great Lengths strands, one would have to use a glue gun or glue melting pot to attach the strands and that would cause significant negative affect to the quality of the attachments, not mention the precision in which they are attached.
- Great Lengths strands are very precisely placed and rarely will a stylist use only one color of Great Lengths strands in a single application so they can match all colors of the client’s natural hair. Usually, GL stylists will work with a minimum of 2 to 3 colors in one application. To remove those specific attachments and then re-apply them precisely where they were before is next to impossible.
- Keep in mind, once any type of hair extension is applied it must me cut/blended into a style or design. Re-using the strands would require that the removed strands be re-attached at the precise place they were removed from. Otherwise the style, silhouette and hair length will be completely different than that of the first application.
- Most extension systems that claim “reusable” in reality mean that their product needs frequent and constant maintenance to re-adjust the attachment. This should be investigated thoroughly by clients considering “reusable” extensions. Once applied, Great Lengths need no ‘adjustment” until they are ready to be removed.
