HAIR EXTENSION LENGTH GUIDE

How Long Will My
Hair Extensions Look?

Hair extensions are measured while fully stretched, but their finished length can look different once installed. Wavy textures show more visible length, while curlier textures appear shorter because more of the length is held within the curl pattern.

Visual length is approximate and may vary based on height, torso length, installation, and how the hair is styled.

Pro Tip

For a similar visual length, choose curly or kinky curly textures one length longer than wavy hair. Curlier textures naturally appear shorter because more length is held within the curl pattern.
