Can You Get Hair Extensions with a Sensitive Scalp? Here’s How to Do It Safely

Is your scalp feeling tight, flaky or reactive but you still dream of long, luxurious hair? We see you. Having a sensitive scalp doesn’t mean extensions are out of reach. In fact, with the right approach, products, and stylist, you can enjoy both: a calm, balanced scalp and the length and volume you’ve always wanted.

Great Lengths: Designed for Comfort and Confidence

Unlike standard extensions that can tug or irritate, Great Lengths keratin bond extensions are crafted for total comfort. They’re made with high-quality keratin that mimics your natural hair’s structure—offering a seamless feel even on the most delicate scalps.

Here’s what makes them so scalp-friendly:

  • Lightweight & Non-Irritating: No pulling, no heaviness—just discreet, weightless bonds.
  • Customised to You: Whether it’s volume, length, colour or all three, your extensions can be tailored to suit your scalp’s condition and your style goals.
  • Long-Term Wear Without Worry: With proper care, bonds last up to 4–6 months—comfortably and beautifully.
