Picking Your Perfect Hair Extensions Length
When you are thinking about getting hair extensions, you will have a few decisions to make. Most likely the first decision will be whether you want curly, wavy or straight hair extensions. After you know what style of hair you want, you need to decide on the length. Hair extension measurements refer to the length of the hair that will be used to create the final length you are looking to achieve for your hair.
Styling Your Hair Extensions
How you style your hair can play a role in how how you decide what is the perfect length for your hair extensions. For example, curly or wavy hair will appear shorter simply because of the natural curl in the hair. If you plan on curling your straight hair regularly then you may want to get hair extensions that are a little longer in length to allow the length that is taken away by the curls.
How Tall Are You?
Where your extensions fall will depend greatly on your own height, as your height will impact the overall look of your hair extensions. If you’re a tall person then your hair extensions will look shorter on you than they would on someone who is shorter with hair extensions of the same length.
