Please note that while the length is consistent, that it will appear to be longer or shorter depending on the height of the model used in the chart and the varying length of the neck and torso.

This resource aims to simplify the decision-making process, assisting you in recommending the perfect extensions that seamlessly complement your clients’ natural hair length.

Medium Length Hair Extensions
Medium hair extensions typically range from 14 to 18 inches. However, individuals with curly hair may opt for extensions up to 24 inches in length.
Shoulder Length
For shoulder-length hair extensions, exact matching isn’t necessary. It’s more about even distribution to prevent excessive weight or volume in specific areas of the head. Ensure the strands are evenly distributed for a balanced look.
Bra Strap Length
Individuals with hair at bra strap length fall at the longer end of the medium hair extensions spectrum. Optimal strands for this length are between 16 to 20 inches. Some with shorter hair use this length, placing the extensions behind their ears or at the base of the neck for a unique style. Keep in mind that curly and wavy clip-ins are straightened before measurement to ensure a perfect match.
Long Hair Extensions
Longer hair can become unruly if there are too many extensions. Aim for a length between 24 and 26 inches to add volume without compromising the natural look. You can always trim the strands to match your natural hair length.
Extra Long
Hair past bra strap length qualifies as long, but if it extends beyond the middle of the back, achieving a perfect match becomes challenging. In such cases, opt for a complementary length, adding extensions around the scalp for thickness and a healthy appearance. This method is also useful for blending in strands of extra color without dyeing natural hair.

18 vs. 22-inch Hair Extensions:
