Everything You Need to Know About Hair Extensions: Bellami vs. Great Lengths
If you’re looking to transform your hair with added length, volume, or both—hair extensions might be your new best friend. But not all hair extensions are created equal, and the brand you choose can make a massive difference in how your hair looks, feels, and lasts.
At Love’s In The Hair Extension Studio Inc., we specialize in advanced hair extension methods and work with two of the most well-known professional brands on the market: Bellami Professional and Great Lengths. Here’s everything you need to know about how hair extensions work—and which brand may be right for you.
How Hair Extensions Work (And Why It Matters)
Hair extensions are strands of real or synthetic hair that are attached to your natural hair using various professional techniques. When installed correctly, extensions blend seamlessly with your hair, giving you fuller, longer, or more voluminous locks.
The secret to a flawless install isn’t just in the technique—it’s in the quality of the hair, how it’s processed, and how it’s applied. That’s where Great Lengths and Bellami take two very different approaches.
Great Lengths: Italian Craftsmanship & B Corp Certified Ethics
Great Lengths is the Rolls-Royce of hair extensions—and for good reason.
• 100% Remy Hair: Ethically sourced from voluntary donors in Indian temples.
• Processed in Italy: Hair is coloured using gentle, textile-free vegetable dyes.
• B Corp Certified: One of the only hair extension brands in the world to meet rigorous ethical, social, and environmental standards.
Application Methods:
• Keratin Bonds (Thermal Fusion): Small rolled bonds applied with heat. Discreet, durable, and perfect for a long-term transformation.
• Ultrasonic Cold Fusion: Bonds are applied using sound waves—no heat—making it ideal for clients with fine or fragile hair.
• GL Tapes: Ultra-thin adhesive tapes for quick, semi-permanent volume and length. Reusable and discreet.
Who It’s For:
Clients who want the most natural-looking, longest-lasting, and ethically-sourced extensions available. Especially great for women with fine hair or those looking for a seamless blend and gentle wear.
Bellami Professional: Versatile, Trendy & Highly Customizable
Bellami is a widely recognized name in the beauty world. They offer a wide range of extension types, giving stylists lots of flexibility.
• 100% Remy Hair: Often sourced and processed in China.
• Bold, Trendy Options: Popular with influencers and stylists who like switching up styles.
• Textile Dyes Used: Can cause fading or discolouration over time (especially with sunscreen or hard water).
Application Methods:
• Tape-Ins: Sandwich-style application for quick installs.
• Keratin-Tips (K-Tips): Similar to thermal fusion but generally not as discreet or long-lasting as Great Lengths.
• I-Tips (Micro-Beads): Installed strand by strand using small beads—reusable and heat-free.
• Hand-Tied & Volume Wefts: Sewn onto a beaded foundation for dramatic volume.
• Clip-Ins: For temporary, DIY transformations.
Who It’s For:
Clients who want a temporary or semi-permanent solution with lots of styling flexibility. Great for experimenting with different looks or trying a method before committing to something long-term.
