How long should my hair be for extensions?

For most methods, your own hair needs to be at least a few inches long so the extensions have something to hold onto and can blend.

  • Clip-ins: about 3-4 inches.
  • Tape-ins: about 4-6 inches.
  • Fusion (I-tips and U-tips): about 4-6 inches.
  • Sewn-in wefts: about 5-7 inches.

Shorter hair? Choose a length close to your own so the ends blend, and ask a stylist for advice. We can help you pick: chat with us and share a photo.
