1. Consider Your Current Hair LengthStart by assessing the length of your natural hair. Tape-in hair extensions should blend seamlessly with your own hair, so:
- For short to medium hair (shoulder-length or shorter), stick to 14–18 inches for a natural transition.
- For medium to long hair, you can go up to 20–24 inches for more dramatic length.
2. Decide on Your Desired StyleThink about what kind of look you're going for:
- Natural and subtle volume? Try 14–16 inches.
- Long, flowing waves or curls? Opt for 18–20 inches.
- Glamorous, waist-length locks? Choose 22–24 inches.
3. Match Your Hair Type and TextureYour natural hair texture play a role in how the extensions look:
- Fine hair blends best with shorter to medium lengths (14–18 inches).
- Thick or coarse hair can support longer extensions (20+ inches) more naturally.
4. Think About MaintenanceLonger tape-in extensions require more care:
- They can tangle more easily.
- They take longer to wash, dry, and style.
- You'll use more product and time on upkeep.
5. Use a Measuring TapeHere’s a simple way to visualize the length:
- Place a tape measure at the middle of your ear (where extensions usually start).
- Pull the tape downward to see where various lengths fall:14 inches – around your collarbone18 inches – mid-chest22 inches – past your bust or near your waist
