I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for so generously sponsoring my hair extensions. They were installed last weekend by Hein from Gary Rom and he did such a fabulous job! I am so excited to have long beautiful hair again and what a treat that you were so willing to sponsor me.

Since winning Miss SA, Great Lengths has always gone the extra mile and whenever I needed extensions you were always ready and willing to sponsor them. My hair ALWAYS looked fabulous during my year – thanks to both Great Lengths and Gary Rom Hairdressing. Since the installation last weekend I have had so many compliments from both friends and clients from my image consulting company Image Insured. I will be sure to pass along any potential clients to both Great Lengths and Gary Rom.

I would love to promote your brand in any way possible, and will avail myself for any photo shoots, functions or events relating to Great Lengths - so please feel free to contact me whenever you need anything. All my details are below.

Thanks again for being such a wonderful sponsor and for ensuring my hair looks great all the time!

Megan’s extensions are maintained in conjunction with Hein from Gary Rom Hairdressing.

When I started wearing extensions two years ago, I became what I always dreamt of as a kid... The girl with long flowy locks. Problem was, a lot of the extended hair I wore, in all shapes and forms, weaves, flash-points, plat-ins, bonds...would look great for the first day...until they were washed. I wear Great Lengths currently, and wow! I have had people stop me at the airports company counters and even at the pool...wondering how I could swim "extensions" I have had only great comments from people. And styling my hair is a breeze. Saves me from hours of blowdrying or going to the hairdresser every second day!

“Wearing Great Lengths extensions makes me glamorous, I feel like a movie star,” says the talented and beautiful Nadia. “I love the shades, the colour….I lam loving it, loving it, loving it!” Nadia believes that, “healing comes in different forms, and different packages. Great Lengths extensions have helped in emotionally feeling good about myself.”
“The transition from red-head to blonde is fun; the style changes possible are great for creative photo-shoots, even a rock-opera theme. It surprises people when I tell them I am wearing extensions as it is not obvious - I have been asked if I have lost weight, and complimented on my hair colour. The flat bonds are easy to brush, and the extensions are easy to maintain. My stylist is still my best friend, but now I have a new second best friend – my Great Lengths extensions!”

Nadia’s extensions are maintained in conjunction with Caroline from Head to Toes.

Bailey Schneider

Radio presenter, TV Presenter, MC and Voice Over Artist

Bailey Schneider

Bailey researched hair extensions extensively before deciding on Great Lengths. Admitting to being concerned about her own hair, Bailey says,” I have been pleasantly surprised by the method that is used to attach the extensions. The extensions do not cause any damage to my own hair. The entire process was clearly explained to me, as well as how to look after the extensions.”

“I am very impressed with how the extensions adapt and move with my natural curls. Having Great Lengths extensions has boosted my confidence and makes me feel sexy.
I receive many flattering comments on how healthy and beautiful my hair is. I have also been asked who did the colour of my hair by someone who did not realize I have hair extensions.”

Cindy Nell

Cindy Nell, Pasella Presenter, former Miss South Africa and Miss Universe Runner up.

One of South Africa’s most beautiful woman, Cindy Nel says, “I love the instant transformation, long hair is just so sexy and people stop me in the street every day to say how amazing my hair is. It is easier then I thought, it is not hard work at all, it feels natural.”

Cindy has never used any other extensions system. “I heard many good things first hand about Great lengths and always go on personal recommendation. I can’t speak for other extensions, but this was definitely the right choice for me, and I have not had any regrets. Doing something like this should improve your life, not add stress and problems, and it has certainly improved my life without any extra hassle - I look great, so I feel great. For summer I look instantly sexier, and it really makes me feel confident which helps in every aspect of my life.” Laughing, Cindy says, “Unfortunately Great Lengths doesn’t take away working stress, and that’s about the only thing it doesn’t do - that and cook for you! It makes beauty, confidence, easy beauty routine maintenance, and worry free great hair all possible, like magic, in just a day.”

“I just didn’t have the patience in the end to wait a year for my hair to grow, and why would I, with this natural technology at my fingertips?”

Buli G

Idols finalist, Radio Presenter and qualified Public Relations Practitioner

The beautiful and talented Buli G made the transition from traditional type afro extensions to Great Lengths hair extensions. 
“Since getting Great Lengths I never want to go back to the conventional extensions. Not only are my Great Lengths extensions more manageable, but they are healthier and aesthetically they look better for a longer period of time.
Firstly, the process of applying the extensions is pain free. I remember when I had conventional extensions I suffered from headaches for at least 2 days after the application. It was hard to sleep as they pulled my hair and scalp in order to ensure that the extensions were on firmly. Secondly, Great Lengths is 100% authentic human hair whereas other brands profess to be 100% authentic but tend to be mixed with synthetic hair. Most of the time I discovered this too late! I remember standing under hot lights whilst MC’ing a function or performing, and I could feel the hair melting under the heat of the lights.
One of the joys of Great Lengths is that you get a constant supply of the same high quality standard of hair, whereas with other brands, you are never sure which product you get at the salon and when next that brand will be available. You are at the mercy of what’s available when you go to do your hair. People ALWAYS notice my hair and I get countless compliments from women and they always ask me where I did my hair. I tell them it is Great Lengths (with a smile, of course).”

 

Lindie van Eeden

Talented South African actress Lindie plays the role of Karin Edwards in Egoli.

 

The Egoli star enjoys the versatility of Great Lengths hair extensions. “The longer hair is more feminine, and I am a whole new person. My hair has always been straight and fine, I love the natural curl and thickness of my extensions”
Lindie recommends starting with one’s hairstyle as a safe place to experiment and change your look and improve your self esteem, “this way you can play with colour, fullness and length. By changing your hairstyle you can improve your self confidence, which will have a positive affect on other areas in your life, including your relationships.”

Catch Lindie during the week on Egoli, M-Net at 18h00.
