Hair Extension Length For Different Hair Textures
When you say “I wanna get 16 inches of hair”, you mean the vertical length from your hairline to the ends of your hair, but to retailers, the description is different. The measurement of human hair extensions is from the roots to the ends in straight condition, which refers to the real hair length of the products, not the final presentation effect.
In other words, to get a shoulder-length Boho bob hairstyle, you have to buy hair extensions more than shoulder-length, no matter whether straight hair, wavy hair, or curly hair. Human hair extensions such as crochet hair extensions cling to your nape, so shorten the look.
After understanding this concept, let us see the real displayed length of different hair textures:
For the length of human hair extensions on hair store shows the straight hair look from the roots to the ends, wavy and curly hairstyles need longer hair to style. You can see from the picture that the real hair length is different to get the same hair look. Wavy hair has bigger curls than curly hair, leading to a 1–2 inches falling length shorter than straight ones. There is no doubt that curly hair is less than wavy hair, about 3–4 inches compared with straight hair length.
How do we measure the length of human hair extensions?
Whatever hair products you buy, Afro kinky bulk human hair, crochet hair extensions, or spring twist extensions, they apply the same measurement method.
Necessary Tools: a soft ruler/a hard ruler.
1. Throw away the packaging bag, you can not measure the accurate hair length outside the package.
2. Put a hard ruler on your table, pull human hair extensions straightly and align the roots of hair with the first mark of the ruler, parallel your hair to the entire ruler. Do not place your hair at an angle! It causes length errors.
(If you apply a soft tape measure, position the beginning of a flexible measuring tape at the hair roots, then pull the tape measure to the ends meanwhile straightening the hair and the tape. )
3. Check the ends of the hair with your finger to ensure the result.

10-14 Length Hair Extensions: Hair Complement
To avoid an embarrassed hair look, we do not recommend too short human hair extensions.
10 to 14 inches relatively display a short look when you apply spring twists from the roots of your hair, which are shorter than your chin.
It is suggested to use 10–14 inches of human hair extensions braid with your hair to add hair volume. If you are prone to getting hair that looks longer than the chin, please choose the longer ones.
