Cold Fusion & Hot Fusion Methods

Great Lengths fusion extensions attach with either a cold fusion and hot fusion method.

Hot fusion (thermal method)

This is the traditional fusion method, using heat to melt a tiny keratin-based bond to attach the extension to your hair. Because keratin is a protein similar to what's found in your natural hair, keratin is gentler on the hair than a glue-based bond. This method is generally recommended for those with medium to thick hair that can support the bonds without breakage. Professional installation and removal by a certified stylist are crucial for preventing damage to your natural hair.

Cold Fusion extensions for fine hair

This method utilizes ultrasonic waves to activate the bond, eliminating the need for heat. It's considered a gentler option, making it suitable for those with fine or delicate hair. The bonds are designed to be smaller and more discreet, potentially offering a more natural look for those with fine and thin hair.

Deciding factors

Ultimately, the best choice depends on your individual needs and preferences. Consulting with a Great Lengths certified stylist like Martha at Hair Xpressions is essential to assess your hair type, discuss your lifestyle, and determine which method is best for you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Great Lengths

What’s the difference between Cold Fusion and Thermal Fusion?

«

Both methods use Great Lengths’ patented keratin bonds, but the application is different.

  • Thermal Fusion uses gentle heat to soften and mold the keratin bond around your natural hair.
  • Cold Fusion uses ultrasound technology—no heat—to attach the bonds, making it especially gentle on fine or fragile hair.
    Both methods create a secure, long-lasting bond that moves naturally with your hair.

Are Great Lengths extensions reusable?

«

Like other keratin bond extensions, Great Lengths keratin bonds (GL Pre-Bonded) are designed for one-time use due to the nature of the bonds. However, GL Tapes may be reapplied for up to 2 additional wears depending on your hair and maintenance routine.

What makes Great Lengths different from other extension brands?

«

Great Lengths is known for its premium 100% Remy human hair and patented bonding methods. The hair is ethically sourced and processed to keep the cuticle intact, so it blends seamlessly, lasts longer, and feels incredibly natural.

Do you offer Great Lengths Cold Fusion

«

Yes, we offer both methods, cold fusion (or ultrasonic fusion) vs warm fusion (the thermal method.)

What is a cold fusion machine?

«

The cold fusion method, also known as GL Ultrasonic Touch, is a small device that uses ultrasonic waves to active the keratin bond so that it attaches to the natural hair. Because it doesn't use any heat, it's ideal for clients with fine or fragile hair and still results in a discreet, seamless look like the thermal method. We offer both the cold and thermal application methods at our Houston salon.

What kind of hair does Great Lengths use?

«

Great Lengths, both keratin bonded and the tapes, use 100% Remy human hair, ethically sourced from India. It is the best hair you can buy. The strands are aligned in the same direction (Remy), which prevents tangling and preserves shine. The hair is also Double Drawn to ensure thickness from root to tip for a fuller, healthier look.

How long do Great Lengths hair extensions last?

«

GL Pre-Bonded (keratin bonds/k-tips) extensions can last 4 to 6 months with proper care and maintenance. Factors like hair type, lifestyle, and how well you follow care instructions will affect longevity. GL tapes can be worn 4-6 weeks at a time before they need to be removed, re-taped, and reapplied. Once removed, hair can be re-applied up to 3 more times, giving you a total wear time comparable to that of the keratin bonds.

What are the hair care instructions for Great Lengths?

«

Use sulfate-free, extension-safe shampoos and apply conditioner only from mid-length to ends. Avoid oils or heavy conditioners near the bonds, and skip any alcohol-based styling products.  Avoid pulling or tugging at the bonds. Brush gently with an extension brush and secure your hair in a braid or ponytail while sleeping. We'll give you personalized care tips following your installation.

Can I style Great Lengths extensions like my natural hair?

«

Yes! Great Lengths hair extensions are made from 100% human hair, so you can curl, straighten, or blow-dry them just like your natural hair. Just avoid direct heat on the bonds themselves, whether they are keratin bonds or tapes.

Do I need a special brush for Great Lengths extensions?

«

We recommend using a loop brush or a soft bristle brush designed for hair extensions. These brushes glide through the hair without catching on the bonds, helping you prevent damage while tangling every day.
