Hair Extension Lengths & Matching Lengths To Looks
It can be tough to know whether you need short, mid-length, or long hair extensions, and it can be even tougher to figure out how those hair extension lengths will work with your hair pattern.
But don't worry - we're here to help!
- RiRi offers a range of short, mid and long lengths in various colours, textures, and styles, so you're sure to find the perfect match for your hair. With RiRi Hair Extensions, you can finally get the perfect look for your hair.
So, here's a quick rundown of everything you need to know about choosing the right hair extension lengths for your hair…
How long does my hair have to be to wear hair extensions?
While hair extensions can be worn by anyone, there is a minimum hair length requirement.
This is because hair extensions need something to grab onto, and if your hair is too short, there won't be enough hair for the extension application to attach to. The hair extension will either not stay in place, or it will look unnatural.
Ideally, your natural hair length needs to be around 3 to 5 inches long in order for hair extensions to be worn and blend seamlessly. If your hair is shorter than this, we would recommend purchasing a wig instead!
Wigs can be styled in any way you want, and they come in a variety of lengths and colours.

Measuring your natural hair length
So how do you go about measuring your hair length for hair extensions?
The first thing to do is take a ruler or tape measure and hold it against your head, starting at the very top of your forehead.
Once you've done that, run the ruler or tape measure down the length of your hair - from your forehead to the very tips of your hair. Make a note of this measurement in inches or centimetres.
Now that you know how to measure your hair length, you can start thinking about which hair extension lengths will suit you best and help you achieve your #hairgoals!
Choosing your hair extension lengths
Do you want to go for a dramatic look with ultra-long locks? Or keep it natural with a length that's similar to your own hair?
If you're looking to add more length to your hair, then you should go for hair extensions that are longer than your natural hair.
This will give you a more dramatic look and is perfect for special occasions or if you just want to change up your look.
If you're looking for more volume and body, we recommend choosing hair extensions that are the same length as your own hair. This will give you a more natural look and is perfect for everyday wear. Plus, styling your hair when your hair extensions are a similar length to your natural hair is super easy.
You might even want to do some experimentation to find your preferred hair extension lengths.
Hair extension lengths will vary depending on hair extension styles
It's important to note that not all hair extension lengths are created equal. The hair extension length you choose will also depend on the hair extension style and texture you're after.
Curly and wavy hair extensions are typically measured straight - meaning they are measured when the hair is straightened out.
So if you're after curly hair extensions, make sure to pick a length that's longer than what you're aiming for because the kinks and curls will make the hair extension lengths seem shorter.
