It seems one of the most buzzworthy phrases in the hair industry right now is “color without commitment.” Whether it’s adding natural dimension to updos, a pop of color for music festivals or a just change with the seasons, Great Lengths’ newest offering—GL Tapes tape-in extensions—are the perfect solution for clients seeking color variety.
Artists Alison Valsamis, Stephanie Hodges and Shelley Gregory are certified Great Lengths extensionists who find themselves grabbing for the GL Tapes regularly.
“The fashion colors in the GL Tapes are incredible,” Valsamis says. “From vibrant jewel tones to gorgeous pastels, I’m able to give my clients color options without the fade.”
Beyond adding color, GL Tapes work to bulk up braids, amp up volume and add length. They contain the same high-quality Indian Remy Great Lengths hair found in the premium bonded extension products. Every strand retains its valuable cuticle layer from root to end.
“The quality of the hair and color choices Great Lengths provides is unlike any other,” Gregory says. “It’s great to have an option to give my client a service that enhances her hair and color so quickly—it’s now something I can’t live without. The GL Tapes are strong but still easily removable; they save me so much time.”
The hair quality allows for the GLTapes to be reused multiple times. They can be used as single- or doubletape attachments and, with proper care, can last up to eight weeks.
“Whether I’m looking to get creative with color or head a more traditional manner, Great Length’s GL Tapes offer the exact color result I’m looking for,” Hodges says. “It’s as easy as apply, cut, style and go!”
