HOW TO BLOW OUT YOUR GREAT LENGTHS HAIR EXTENSIONS - THE EASY WAY!


We believe that caring for your extensions can be super simple.

This is a simple blowout tutorial! We take the guesswork out of blow drying your hair extensions to save you time on your hair at home.

Watch this for a step by step tutorial on creating a foundation for your care at home.

CARING FOR HAIR EXTENSIONS DOESN'T HAVE TO BE HARD!
A few simple adjustments to your care routine makes all the difference.

OUR TIPS
✨ Allowing your hair to air dry before blow drying! By doing this, you allow for some of the moisture to leave your hair before blowdrying. Your dry time and overall styling time can be cut in half by starting this way.

✨ Use a high powered blow dryer with a concentrator nozzle. We use the Shark flex style in this video but recommend a dryer that is at least 1800w.

✨ Brush your hair BEFORE washing your hair to reduce your hair's ability to tangle before styling. It's all about the little things.

FROM OUR CARE GUIDE: OUR TIPS FOR GOOD HAIR CARE

✨ Your hair is in its most fragile state when wet! You must always blow dry the attachments after they are wet. Do not remove tangles or brush your extensions while your hair is wet.

✨ If you feel that you must brush while your hair is wet, you must hold your hair near the bonds to reduce tension.

✨ It is not necessary to completely detangle your hair before you start to blow dry. You will be amazed to see that your extensions untangle themselves as you begin drying your hair.

Do not ever sleep with wet hair. You may sleep with slightly damp hair ONLY if the bonds are dry, and your hair is tied in a braid.

HOW TO BLOW DRY

✨ Your blowdryer must have a nozzle and should be used on medium heat! You will never concentrate the highest heat at the attachments.

When blowdrying extensions, your goal is to remove 75% of the water from the hair before styling with a round-brush. Start drying by focusing at the root and bonds. After the moisture is removed from the hair, you may finish styling your hair with a round brush. We recommend using a boar bristled round brush, or a Great Lengths round brush. You may also finish your styling with your Great Lengths bristle brush.
