Finding The Perfect Hair Extension Length For Your Style

Extensions aren’t one-size-fits-all. Too much length or weight can put strain on your natural hair. That’s why we always recommend a professional consultation. Your stylist will guide you to lengths that are safe, stylish, and flawless.

Length Based On Starting Hair Type

Your starting length matters. If you’ve got a bob cut, super-long extensions won’t blend naturally. The golden rule? Keep your extensions within 3–4 inches of your own hair.

How Long Does Your Hair Need To Be For Extensions?

Your natural hair should be at least 4–6 inches (10–15 cm) long before adding extensions. This length gives enough grip for secure attachment and keeps the joins hidden, so your finished look stays natural, seamless, and sleek.

Absolutely. Different methods = different possibilities.

Pick A Length That Matches Your Hair Goals

Your hair dreams = your length choice.

• Shorter extensions: Perfect for boosting volume without changing your overall length. Subtle but stunning.
  
  

• Layered lengths: Mix lengths for dimension and movement. Adds texture, depth, and instant interest.
  
  

• Dream hair goals: Want a big transformation? Choose lengths that help you nail your vision, whether that’s volume for bouncy blow-dries or long, sleek sophistication.
  
  

• Special occasions: Go long and dramatic for weddings, parties, or other events. Big hair, big impact, without the long-term commitment.

How To Measure Your Hair For Extensions

Grab a tape measure. Place it an inch above your ear and measure down to your ends. That’s your baseline.

General rule: an example is if your hair is 16", go for 18–20" extensions. Smooth blend, manageable length, and no harsh jump. But always book a consultation, your stylist will check if your hair is strong enough to handle the weights the various lengths come in.
