Here are a few tips we’ve put together to you find the hair bundle lengths for perfect styling:
So, before going to the set of bundles length charts, we will look at some ideas that should be taken into notice while choosing suitable lengths.
Heigh
Hair length can appear distinct in individuals based on their height. Consider an 18-inch hair; it will extend nearly to the waistline of a petite woman, but only fall slightly past the shoulders of a taller girl
Styling
Cascade haircuts involve cutting parts of the hair, thus making the whole hairstyle appear shorter. Therefore, choose longer bundles. When it comes to head circumference, it’s essential to find the perfect fit for your comfort and style.
Head Size
Most head circumferences range from 21 to 24 inches. But, if your head size is bigger or smaller than average, you’ll need to adjust the number of bundles you purchase accordingly to ensure that you achieve your desired look.
Frontal or Closure
Moving on to the question of frontal or closure, it’s important to understand the differences between these two options. A lace frontal is larger than a closure and typically comes in sizes 13×4 or 13×6. It covers a large portion of your head, from ear to ear, providing you with versatility in styling. This option is ideal for those with thinning edges or who want to change their hairline. Depending on your desired style and length, 2-3 bundles are generally sufficient to complete the look.
On the other hand, closures are typically smaller and come in a horseshoe-shaped hairpiece in a size of 4×4. Closures are ideal for those who want to maintain a certain style and enjoy parting their hair in the middle. With a minimum of 2 bundles, you can achieve a cost-effective and low-maintenance look that covers the crown of your head.

Texture
We recommend measuring straight extensions for wavy and curly hair. It is, therefore, necessary that if you want a particular length of hair, then get a bundle of hair that is two and a half inches (5 centimetres) longer than the target length for wavy hair, and four and a half inches (10 centimetres) for very curly hair.
Extension type
Those who prefer hand-tied wefts should be aware that sewing them will result in approximately 2 inches (5 cm) of length loss. When it comes to tape-in hair extensions, a little less length is lost, a portion of it will go towards securing the tape onto the hair, potentially up to 1 inch (2.5 cm).

FAQS
Are you considering hair extensions but unsure about the minimum length required for a natural look?
For the most natural-looking results, we recommend that your natural hair be at least 6-7 inches (15-18 cm) long before getting extensions. Anything shorter may not provide enough length to hide the points of attachment, resulting in an unnatural appearance.
If you have thin, short hair and are hesitant to risk damage, opt for shoulder-length hair extensions. For the best results, choose extensions that are 1.5 inches (4 cm) longer than your natural hair, which will avoid adding too much weight to your original style. You can consider choosing 10 inch Hair, 12 inch hair or 14 Inch Hair lengths to achieve your desired hairstyle.
For women with short hair, fusion hair extensions with micro keratin bonds are the way to go. These extensions blend perfectly with your natural hair and are virtually invisible due to the micro keratin bonds. We highly recommend Vietnamese hair for those with thin hair, as this premium-quality material is lightweight and soft-textured, ensuring that it won’t strain your roots.
Looking to achieve medium-length hair? The optimal length for extensions in this case is between 18 and 20 inches (45-50 cm). With these guidelines, you’ll be sure to achieve a flawless and natural-looking hairstyle with extensions.
Are 3 bundles of 26-inch hair enough?
It is typically recommended to get three bundles for hair lengths greater than 14 inches and 18 inches, i.e. 20 inches, 22 inches, 24 inches, and 26 inches. However, if you’re looking for an ultra-full and voluminous look, we suggest getting 4 bundles to ensure you have enough hair to work with. As a general tip, it’s always better to buy an extra bundle than to end up with not enough hair.
Conclusion
Choosing the right hair bundle lengths is crucial in achieving the perfect look with hair extensions. By measuring the length of your natural hair and considering the recommended bundle length chart, you can ensure that you purchase the correct amount of hair.
