Hair extension length guide
Your hairstyle is a wonderful form of self-expression. We can say a lot about ourselves and our distinct personal style by the way we wear our hair. Hair extensions give us the ability to change up our hairstyle without cutting or coloring our hair. They also allow us to add length or volume temporarily.
That being said, there's a lot to consider before buying extensions and adding extra length to your hair. After all, you'll want to pick the best hair extensions for your specific situation, and this will depend on several factors.
It will depend on how long your hair is currently, how long you'd like your hair length to be once you're wearing the extensions, and what kind of hair you have. It's also important to take your height into consideration. The taller you are, the shorter your extensions will look, and vice versa.
Whether you have wavy hair, thin hair, medium-length hair, or shoulder-length hair, this is the ultimate guide for understanding the right length of hair extensions for your specific hair. Getting the length right from the start is important as it will affect the final look and feel.

Picking the Right Length Hair Extensions
Adding volume to your current length:
If you want to add volume to your natural hair, pick extensions that are about 2 inches (5.1 cm) longer than your hair. Especially if you have fine hair, you're going to want extensions that are just a little bit longer than your natural hair.
If you want a very natural look, choose extensions that are within 4 inches (10 cm) of your natural hair length as these are the best for blending with your hair.
If you have shoulder-length hair, try 12-inch (30 cm) extensions as they are the perfect length for adding a little bit of volume and length.
If your hair is a bit longer and comes down to your collarbone, we recommend buying 16-inch extensions (41 cm) as these will add some volume and length. If you are petite, these should extend below your bust; otherwise, these are about bust-level for most people.
Another option is to choose 18-inch hair extensions. These are just slightly longer and weigh a bit more, but they are also a great fit for most people.
If your hair is down to your chest, hair experts agree that 20-inch hair extensions (51 cm) or 22-inch hair extensions (55 cm) are ideal lengths for you. As your hair is longer, you can also handle extensions that are longer. These extensions should add nice volume and depth and be able to blend in seamlessly.
For people with longer hair or hair that reaches the middle of their back, a good extension length is going to be 24 inches (61 cm). Your hair with the extensions should reach your waist..
