Are you looking for your first hair extensions set? If the answer is yes, you should prepare for a life-changing hair experience. Achieving the ultimate hair extension transformation comes down to finding the ideal length, thickness and quality of your chosen extensions.

Let’s start with length.

In your quest for fuller, lengthier hair, you will need to understand the basics of how to choose the perfect length of hair extensions in order to get a seamless blend with your natural hair.

While you might have some idea about what type of hair extensions you want and what type of look you’re looking to achieve, choosing the right length of hair extensions will be the first step towards a new, fresh and flawless mane.

What is the General Ideal Length of Hair Extensions?

The ideal length of hair extensions also comes down to your personal preference. A general rule of thumb for wearing extensions is that your natural hair should be at least four inches long so that the hair extensions can blend in with your natural hair.

For very short hair, nano ring hair extensions are the best option to obtain a glamorous makeover without obviously visible tracks and seams.

So, your natural hair length also plays a crucial part in determining whether or not you can opt for a certain type of hair extensions in the first place.

How to Measure the Length of Your Hair Extensions?

Of course, you will need to measure the hair extensions to see how they will look with your natural hair and whether they are  the right fit. Measuring your hair extensions isn’t a complicated process – all you need is a measuring  tape, and you are good to go.

1.      Measure Your Natural Hair

You will want to start by measuring your natural tresses. Start from the roots and stretch your hair along with the measuring tape to the hair tip.

Even if your hair is wavy or curly, pull it straight and measure its length.

2.      Measure the Extensions

Regardless of the type of hair extensions, you will want to measure it the same way you measured your natural hair.

3.      Select an Ideal Length for Your Extensions

The ideal length of your extensions depends on the style you want to achieve. Make sure the extensions are longer than your natural tresses – not equal or longer.

What are the Different Hair Extensions for Different Lengths?

Here are some hair extension types that can help you achieve the ideal length for your hair.

Tape-In Extensions

The application time for tape-in extensions is between half an hour and one hour and a half, depending on the number of wefts you’re fitting. If you usually prefer to wear your hair up – irrespective of the length, then tape-in extensions may not be the right fit for you. Tape-in hair extensions are discreet and offer a semi-permanent result that can last up to 4 to 8 weeks.

Bonds Extensions

Rather than wefts, bonds comprise thin tresses that perfectly blend with your natural hair and allow your natural hair to move naturally. Each bond strand is applied by clamping thin strands of your natural hair in either a micro bead (for thicker, coarser hair) or a nano ring (for thinner hair).

Nano bond and micro bond hair extensions  are respectively designed to suit the needs of fine-haired people and thick-haired individuals. .

Clip-In Extensions

Clip-in extensions are ideal for adding length and volume on a temporary basis, for a special occasion or to switch things up quite often between long and short hair, adding flashes of color to your natural tresses, or adding thickness and volume for a sophisticated hairdo as often seen in bridal looks. . Clip-in hair extensions are a quick solution with no damage, and they can easily be fitted in the comfort of your own home in a matter of minutes.

Weave Extensions

This hair extension type is ideal for thick hair and big transformations; its application time is up to several hours. You can wear weaves as a way to protect your natural hair from heat-based styling. Weave extensions can last up to two months.
