Q: May I use the extension hair more than once?

A: No. Great Lengths may not be re-used because the polymer attachment is manufactured on the individual hair strand, beforehand and once this is removed the strand comes along with it. Some glue stick applications can salvage a strand and reapply it but the hair has usually been worked with so much with styling that it is time to replace it. Remember, it does not have the cell and oil formation any more. Synthetic hair is folded over in the process and is bonded over in the middle so it cannot be used because after it is removed it is half the amount shorter! The only hair types that can be reused are tracks of hair, where your application corn row is redone and then the track is re-sown. The new clip on applications with POP hair are reusable, the extension industry is trying hard to have that investment not so frivolous. But as of now, individual strands are done upon removal.

Q: Why do they need to be removed and re-attached?

A: Our hair grows roughly ½" to 1" per month. The application strand grows down, in the process some hair would have fallen out in your brush and therefore the application strand is hanging on less hair than originally attached to. Then the strand can fall out in your brush and feel like they are falling out. This is normal and you are not losing hair unless you are extremely rough in your styling and brushing. The re-growth growing down and hanging further down than the original placement may interfere when styling and may get caught on your hair brush or comb. The weight has been shifted further down your hair shaft, creating tension on your own natural hair. Therefore, the hair needs to be removed and then more hair re-attached. REMEMBER, the safety of your hair is our #1 concern! If you are trying to use this process for growing out your hair you might be better off just adding less hair for a bit healthier and thicker hair. Full head applications are awesome but more weight. Ask your stylist.
