The Ethical Secret Behind Better Hair Extensions
Did you know that most hair extensions on the market are anything but "luxurious"? Behind the glossy marketing and fancy packaging lies a dark reality—unethical sourcing, toxic chemicals, and misleading claims. But here’s the good news: Prolonged Hair is changing the game. Say goodbye to tangled, lifeless extensions and hello to ethical beauty that lasts!
This blog will take you through everything you need to know about the hair extension industry’s hidden practices and why Prolonged Hair stands out as a beacon of transparency, quality, and ethics. Stick around, and you might just discover your new go-to brand for hair extensions.
The Dark Side of the Hair Extension Industry
Before we get to the dreamy locks, let's address the elephant in the room. The hair extension industry has a huge problem, and most don’t even realize it. Here’s what’s really happening behind the scenes:
Unethical Sourcing Practices
"Ethically sourced," "Remy," "100% human hair"—these claims sound great but are often entirely false. Many extensions come from horrifying practices such as hair forcibly taken from women and even children. There’s also hair collected from unsanitary locations, like salon floors or worse... city sewers. Yes, you read that right.
Chemical Overload
Once this subpar hair is collected, it undergoes a harsh chemical bath using acids and formaldehyde, stripping it of its natural cuticle (the outer layer that keeps hair smooth and tangle-free). What’s left is brittle, low-quality hair that’s then coated in silicone to give it a fake, temporary shine. The problem? Once that coating washes away, you’re left with extensions that are dry, tangled, and totally unusable.
Zero Transparency
Worse yet, the industry offers little to no transparency. You have no idea where the hair was sourced, who it came from, or whether the donor was treated ethically. And because there’s no third-party regulation, companies can slap any marketing term on their products without backing it up.
The result? Millions of disappointed customers stuck with hair that doesn’t last and puts ethics on the back burner. But luckily, there’s a better way.
Prolonged Hair: An Ethical Alternative You Can Trust
Prolonged Hair doesn’t just talk about ethics and quality—we live by them. Here’s what makes us different (and why we’re turning heads across the industry).
Ethically Sourced Hair, Backed by Proof
At Prolonged Hair, we source all of our hair from willing donors—primarily men and women who participate in a sacred tradition of donating their hair at Indian temples. These donations are completely voluntary, with no coercion.
Here’s where it gets even better:
-
Fair Compensation: Everyone involved in the sourcing process is paid ethically and treated with respect.
-
Full Traceability: Every strand of hair can be traced back to its original donor, so you know exactly what you’re getting.
-
Certified Authenticity: We’re proud to hold the Dubai Chamber of Commerce Seal—one of the toughest certifications to earn—which validates our sourcing and ethical practices.
Simply put, with Prolonged Hair, you'll never have to wonder, "Where exactly did this hair come from?"
The Science of Stronger, Longer-Lasting Extensions
Not only is our hair ethically sourced, but it’s also engineered to be the best in the industry. Here’s a sneak peek at the science behind our superior products:
Single-Donor, Virgin Remy Hair
We only use virgin Remy hair from a single donor. This means the hair is:
-
Unprocessed: Free from damaging chemicals or synthetic fibers.
-
Cuticle-Intact: With the natural cuticle layer left untouched, our extensions stay silky, shiny, and resistant to tangling.
The Pro•Lock Process™
Our patent-pending Pro•Lock Process™ is a game-changer. This 7-step process strengthens hair from within, reducing breakage by a stunning 72.6% and making our extensions 430% stronger than leading competitors. Here’s what sets the Pro•Lock Process™ apart:
-
Eco-Friendly Cleansing: No harsh chemicals, just gentle cleansers.
-
Slow Blonding: Our custom color process preserves hair integrity, unlike the quick, harsh methods used by other brands.
-
Natural Pigments: We use eco-friendly colorants, making our hair safe to bleach, tone, and dye however you want—without damaging the strands.
The result? Extensions that look and feel just like your own hair (maybe even better!).
Hair With Zero Secrets
Unlike other brands, Prolonged Hair has nothing to hide. Every product claim is backed by independent, third-party testing (seriously, we’ve invested millions in R&D!). Here’s what the data says:
-
Stronger Than Ever: Clinical trials prove our extensions are 430% stronger than standard brands.
-
No Silicone Coatings: We preserve the natural cuticle, so you’ll never deal with that dreaded post-silicone tangling.
-
Consistent Quality: Random batch testing ensures that every purchase meets the same high standards as your first.
No tricks. No gimmicks. Just flawless, premium hair.
The Visionaries Behind Prolonged Hair
Prolonged Hair didn’t just happen—it’s the result of years of hard work and passionate innovation.
Meet Whitney and Jonathan Sexsmith
Whitney, a seasoned cosmetologist and product developer, experienced firsthand the frustration of paying thousands for extensions that matted and tangled within weeks.

Armed with scientific expertise and an MBA in product development, Whitney set out to disrupt the hair extension industry with products that are ethical, traceable, and actually last.
And then there’s Jonathan, with decades of family experience in beauty, skin care, and wellness.

Their mission is simple yet revolutionary: Deliver extensions that are verifiably ethical, scientifically superior, and built to last.
