Finding a Natural Length

1. Take a measurement of what length your hair runs from the ear down. Make use of a measuring tape and position it 1 inch (2.5 cm) over at the top of your ears. Take note of where the top of your hair ends. note down the hair’s length.

•  If you have hair that is curly then pull your hair straight to determine the length.
• Tips: Hair extensions typically rest directly above your ear and that’s why you take measurements from that point rather than the top of your head.

• Select extensions that are two inches (5.1 cm) longer than your hair for more the volume. In the event that your hair’s thin and you’d like to increase the volume then buy extensions that are just one or two inches larger than your natural hair length. They will blend nicely and will add more volume than the length. [3]

• For example, if your hair is natural and 10-inches (25 centimeters) long, you can opt for 12 inches (30 centimeters) extension of your hair.
• Choose extensions that are within four inches (10 cm) of your natural length to get the best mix. If you want natural appearance, select extensions that are just a few inches larger than the length of your hair. They will blend well with the length of your hair and appear more natural. [4]

• Even if you don’t need the full four inches (10 centimeters) or length you must buy extensions that are that long, so that you can cut them back when you blend them
• Choose 12 inch (30 centimeters) extensions if you’ve got shoulder-length hair. Short extensions look amazing for those with shorter hair and they blend well. Choose extensions that give you a subtle boost of length and volume to blend well with your natural hair. [5]

• If you’re short in hair and would like to add some length, you could wear longer extensions. However, they won’t mix as well.
  Purchase 16 inch (41 centimeters) extensions If your hair is below the collar bone. Extensions that are this long typically reach around the bust line on the majority of people. Consider these extensions if desire a beautiful blend with some extra volume and length. [6]

• If you’re a little smaller on your frames, then these extensions might be under your bust.
• Use 20 inch (51 centimeters) extensions If your hair falls below the chest. If you have hair that is long you can use extensions with longer lengths to add size and thickness. The extensions will fall just below the level of the bust for the majority of people. [7]

• If you’re petite in your frame, this length of extensions can reach the waist for you.
• Purchase 24 inches (61 millimeters) extensions when your hair falls towards the back’s middle. If you’ve got super long hair, it is possible to use the most long extensions to make your hair fall close to your waist. Extensions this long work great for striking looks that be a perfect match to your already long hair. [8]

• If your hair isn’t very long but you’d like to add a lot of length, you could use these extensions. It will require some blending to look natural.
