HAIR WITH
NOTHING TO HIDE
Provenance, testing, and the proof to match.
WHAT THE LABELS DONβT TELL YOUβ
Most extensions are treated as textiles, not cosmeticsβhair gathered through opaque, mixed streams, processed with industrial chemicals, then finished with silicone gloss to mimic health. They photograph wellβthen tangle, shed, and fade within weeks.
At Prolonged Hair, we do the opposite: transparent provenance, cosmetic-grade inputs, cuticle-intact Remy, and results that are measured, published, and repeatable.
WHAT THE EVIDENCE SHOWS
Independent studies and field investigations have traced commercial hair supply chains to waste-stream recovery (βsewer hairβ), mortuary sources, and instances of coercive cuttingβincluding reports involving women and minors.1
At the processing stage, harsh industrial methodsβbleaching and stripping, textile dyes, and silicone gloss coatingsβmay temporarily disguise damage, but often reveal themselves as tangling, shedding, and premature color drift in wear.

Ethical Sourcing
Consent, not claims. Voluntary donations (18+) with recorded consent. No post-mortem, reclaimed, or waste-stream inputs. If origin isnβt verified, it isnβt accepted.
Independent Verification
Proof beyond marketing. Third-party attestation confirms provenance, and lab testing to ASTM/ISO standards validates performance. Integrity measured, not implied.

Cuticle-intact. Zero textile dyes. Zero silicone. Structure preserved so hair behaves as real hair shouldβ lifts cleanly, tones evenly, and holds true-to-tone without gloss coatings.
