How do I choose length when I decide to do hair extensions, and what is different between Wavy, curly, and straight Hair Extensions?

Before you decide on a length, we may know that wavy/curly extensions tend to look slightly shorter than straight extensions due to the texture of the hair. If you are planning to opt for Wavy/curly extensions, you may want to go one size longer than you would if you were planning to buy straight extensions. Also, remember that wavy/curly extensions feel heavier than straight extensions when you wear them.

Another factor to consider when choosing hair extensions is your hair length, if you are used to short hair. Hair extensions no longer than 18″ are generally suitable for those with short hair. On the other hand, you may feel comfortable wearing longer extensions if you have medium to long hair.

Tips for Getting the Right Human Hair Extensions Length:

1. Measure properly.

Many people don’t measure their hair to know exactly what size hair extensions they should buy, which can be a huge problem once they purchase the extensions. You don’t want to measure your hair from the wrong spot; you need to measure from the very center of the back of your head since that is where the hair extensions will sit.

2. Calculate the Length You Want.

If you want your hair to be 5 inches longer than where it is now, you need to calculate for that length. Most people buy hair extensions that are just an inch or so longer than their hair already, and the problem with this is that when your hair finally grows, your extensions will be useless. Just remember that if you want to use your hair extensions for a long time, you need to get a size that will work for many years instead of just a few months of regular use.

This hair extension length guide can be used to get an approximate length when ordering your hair extensions. Lengths can vary depending on the individual’s torso and neck lengths. Lengths can also vary depending on the starting point and techniques used when applying your extensions. If you are unsure how to choose hair extensions length, please email us.
