Great Lengths Anger!

alcohol, they use alcohol on the bonds and crack with pliers.

Grain or rubbing?  maybe they spike the clients punch   I've never had the extra cash in my wallet to get them, even if I did I prolly wouldn't.  I can't believe what they get away with!!

=( sorry to hear about your clients extensions. I have heard so many bad things about great lengths its not funny. I wish i could help out with what to use to get them out of her hair, but even googling it doesnt seem to give any clues! They mention their special machine and also a special liquid that they use.....good luck finding out what it is =S Not sure if youve searched, but maybe there has been a previous post on here about removing the extensions...ill have a look for you now =)

in reply to what sherrie said, i did read something about using at least 90% alcohol...have no idea where youd get that from lol distillery?

you can buy it here http://www.sciencestuff.com/prod/Chem-Rgnts/C1951

Thanks guys. Is this what Great Lengths use?

I've had Greatlengths in a few times in the past. I thought the hair itself was very nice, but the price they charge is ridiculous! (I was lucky enough that the record label I was working for paid for it ...)The amount of hair you get for it is laughable too. I asked them for their course thing. 2 days training for an unbelievable price! They're so arrogant... . I'm so happy I decided to start looking on the internet and found out that unlike what g.l. say, you can do it yourself! And with help from all you ladies here it's great fun!!
I do wonder what hair they use though.

I believe I've heard before bacardi 151 or everclear works...but I don't know first hand, if you do a search, you might find some more info.

I had hair dreams and the bonds are like great lengths and I bought alcohol from sallys. Here is the link. It worked for me.

I use to wear GL and it is GREAT hair.....if your rich.....now when my girl first removed them she put some type of solution on them and then used a needle nose plier with the ridges on the sides to help break the bond.....then the next couple of times she just used the pliers with NO solution and it worked fined.....I also took my own out the last time I had them in. Just crunch together one way and then turn the bond and crunch it again and it should pull down and out.

Hi!

Oh Sammy that's terrible.  Did you try melting one out at all without smearing it down the hair shaft of course.  At least then there would be less glue to deal with after.  I've never not been able to remove anything without using acetone or oil but then again I've never encountered great lengths x

Seriously. Get yourself some Bacardi 151 Rum and put it in a spray bottle. Spray the attachments and then crunch the bonds. Spray the bonds again if needed. This works way better than acitone or the stuff GL's sells. Good luck to ya.

...and if you put some in a glass as well, taking out the hair will be a paaaaaarty LOL
Seriously though, it seems that alcohol is the key with taking down GL, right?

I use So.Cap., it's the same as GL, the two guys that own these companies are best friends. I think you can order their hair and remover without having gone through their course. Their remover takes out GL bonds and I like it better than the GL remover anyway. GL-remover is a bit more liquidy and the SC is a gel. (818) 841-9881 is the number of the West Coast distributor in Los Angeles. Good Luck!!

Interesting...

put some rubbing alcohol in a bowl, and brush it on with a color brush- or put it in a spray bottle and spray each one a few times, crush bonds and it should come out- i just took out a new clients full head, all 200 in about

 Yeah, when I took my first fusion down it was he**. I swore to never do another install again, and I haven't. Good luck to ya. Some of the glue take downs are easy and some are time consuming. You are going to need a drink after that take down and install in the same day. Girl mo powa to ya!

Do you think 60% alkohol would remove fusion? I know a guy who can make me sum:P

Hi, I read your post and I was excited to read that you took out your Great Lengths extensions yourself. I am planning on getting the extensions in soon and would rather take them out myself. I read that I can even buy the remover (SoCap) brand and use them on my GL extensions. How did you remove yours?

the bottle of gl remover i have in my hand has no acetone in it. but the  ingrediants in it are (in order) isopropyl alcohol ,ethyl alcohol aqua, acrylates copolymer , triethanolamine, cl 42080

I think you have to take the course to get their pre-bonded hair. You also need their special machine to bond it.
