How to Choose the Right Length of Clip In Hair Extensions

How to Choose the Right Length of Clip In Hair Extensions

Finding the perfect hair extension length is the key to a natural, flawless result. At Foxy Locks, we offer a range of premium 100% Remy human hair clip-in extensions that blend invisibly and add seamless volume and length in minutes.

If you're unsure which length is right for your hair, this guide will help you make the best choice based on your hair type, natural length, and styling goals.


Why Hair Extension Length Matters

The wrong length can be hard to blend, overly dramatic, or unnatural.
The right length looks effortless - like it was always yours.

Whether you're adding volume to fine hair, length to a blunt bob, or creating full-glam styles, your choice of length will define the final result.


How to Measure Your Natural Hair

  1. Start at the top of your ear (where most clip-in wefts sit)

  2. Measure straight down to where your hair ends

  3. Use this measurement to match the most natural extension length

Refer to our updated length chart below for visual guidance.


Choosing the Right Length by Hair Type and Style

Hair Type Recommended Length
Short & Fine 14" or 18"
Medium & Layered 18" or 22"
Long & Thick 22" or 24"
  • If you’re looking to enhance volume, choose a length close to your natural hair

  • If you want visible length, aim for extensions 4–6 inches longer than your own

  • For everyday wear, 18" to 22" is the most versatile


Our Signature Lengths at Foxy Locks

14” – Ideal for a natural, volume-boosting look for short hair
20” – Our most versatile length, offering subtle length and natural fullness
22” – A customer favourite that gives noticeable length and a thicker finish
