The Ethical Secret Behind Better Hair Extensions

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: 

Simply put, with Prolonged Hair, you'll never have to wonder, "Where exactly did this hair come from?"

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. This sparked her quest for a better solution. 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. Initially skeptical of entering such a competitive market, Jonathan quickly realized that Whitney’s vision was unlike anything else in the industry. Together, they’ve built a brand that’s not just another hair extension company—it’s a movement. 

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