You must first examine your hair. Avoid clip-in pieces or extensions that are significantly longer than your natural hair. Of course, you’ll probably want to lengthen it. However, adding a long piece will not achieve the intended effect if your hair is too short. It’ll be choppy and evident, which is probably not your goal. Sew in hair with long hair extensions look fantastic on those with shoulder-length hair. On the other hand, those with a shorter style will find it difficult to merge the pieces and should choose shorter mid-length extensions.

Here is how you can measure the length of your natural hair: Take a tape measure and stand in front of a mirror. Place the tape measure at the top of your head and hang it down. Your hair’s natural length is wherever it falls on the tape measure.

Know your height:

If you are 1.70m tall, you can use longer hair extensions. But if you are below 1.60m, choose a length just slightly below the shoulders.

Your hairstyle:

Looking for remy hair extensions lengths to fit your hairstyle is also important. For example, if you have a cascade haircut, you can choose longer bundles because part of the hair gets chopped during the shaping process, making the entire hairstyle appear shorter.

Material:

Keep in mind that curly and wavy extensions are measured while straight. For wavy hair, get a bundle 2 inches (5 cm) longer than the goal length; for severely curly hair, get a bundle 4 inches (10 centimeters) longer than the target length.

Hair extensions kinds:

If you prefer hand-tied wefts, remember that sewing the weft will shorten it by around 2 inches (3–5 cm). Tape-in hair extensions, on the other hand, lose a little less length but use part to bind the tape to the hair, which is around 1 inch long (up to 2.5 cm).

Use your feeling to determine the correct hair extension lengths:

If the hair extensions are heavy and contain too much hair, especially while wet, it can cause noticeable tension and pain. To find out “what length of hair extensions I need,” we recommend measuring the length first and then purchasing the hair bundle. The most straightforward measurement technique is positioning the measuring tape at the top of your ear and sliding your fingers over it until you reach the required length. On the other hand, contacting a hairstylist would be the wisest choice.

You should also know the minimum length of natural hair required to wear hair extensions. For the extension roots to be hidden, your natural hair should be roughly 4–6 inches long. So, if you’re sporting a Pixie cut this season, you’ll have to wait it out. Others, on the other hand, may be relieved to learn that hair extensions come in various lengths to suit your hair.

Conclusion:

Specific hair extension lengths are not looking the same on different people. It is because each person has unprecedented heights and proportions. For example, a person with 1.60m and 1.70m will bring different results when wearing the same hair extension lengths; for more detail, the hair ends in different lengths.
