Hair Extensions

Hair Extensions

Hair extensions have been subjected to a lot of bad press which has left many fearful to try them. This is unfortunately down to under qualified technicians, poor quality hair and bad methods of application, but this doesn’t have to be the case. At Halo we are proud of extensions and the positive affect they have on our clients. The brand we use, Great Lengths is regarded as the leading in the industry and boast the use of 100% ethically sourced human hair. The hair is sourced from India where during Hindu rituals women and men sacrifice and donate there hair to temples in process known as tonsuring. Payment for the hair is then used to support the local community.  Hair is then sent to Italy where it is purified, removing toxins and its existing pigment, this is a natural process known as osmosis. This ensures hair stays in tact and hair quality remains high. Hair is then re-coloured to desired shade using the same osmosis process. The result, healthy colourfast hair.
All extensions are pre bonded, this means that’s the correct amount of hair is applied each time to each section, giving a natural long lasting result. The bond uses a blend of polymers that mimic the structure of the hair to fuse extensions to your own hair. This allows your hair to grow naturally and safely. The result, natural looking beautiful hair safe in the knowledge no damage is being caused by harsh application process and knowledge of where you hair has come from. The outcome of great extensions can truly be amazing.
