HOW-TO STEPS

• 

  
  1

  Prep the hair as directed by Great Lengths.

• 

  
  2

  Begin the process by sectioning the hair and start to apply the strand-by-strand extensions at the base of the nape.

• 

  
  3

  Continue sectioning the hair and applying the extensions, finishing at the crown.

• 

  
  4

  Determine the perimeter line you wish to create and begin texturize extensions to blend with natural hair.  Christina requested a mid-length, naturally blended cut with fringe.

• 

  
  5

  Spray UNITE Shina-Mist lightly over the top of the hair to begin which will give the hair overall shine.  It’s completely weightless and will not weigh the hair down at all.

• 

  
  6

  Section the hair off into panels and lightly spray Shina-Mist all over each panel that will be flat ironed.  Spray approx. 4-5 sprays, and approx. 5″- 6″ from the hair per panel. Shina-Mist is a thermal protector and ideal for flat ironing.  Keep the iron adequate distance from the bonds as the bonds can loosen with heat.

  After flat ironing, add 2-3 drops of UNITE Shina Liquid to the palm of your hand and work it through the hair, mid-lengths through the ends.  This will add shine, luster and separation to the hair.   We then set the UNITE GO365 Hair Spray to this highest of the three settings, STRONG hold, which is the desired hold per Christina.  Spray GO365 liberally all over.  This will give the hair a silky smooth finish.

  Christina took a UNITE after care package with her for home use.  Her package consisted of UNITE Smoothing Shampoo & Conditioner, UNITE Smoothing Deep Treatment, UNITE Shina Liquid, UNITE Shina Mist and UNITE 7Seconds Condition.  Other UNITE products recommended by Nine Zero One for Great Lengths extensions are UNITE Boing, Boosta, 7Seconds Dry Shampoo, Tricky Lite, Expanda Dust, Lazer Straight and Blow&Set, among others.

  UNITE is great to use on Great Lengths extensions because the products are sulfate and paraben free, which helps keep the bond strength.  All UNITE Shampoo/Conditioning Systems are infused with Moringa Seed, a color locking antioxidant which protects the hair shaft and botanisil, a thermal protectant that locks in color and reduces drying time, so works perfectly with colored extensions as well.
