- Never go below your natural length — will look mismatched.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most popular extension length in India?
18 inch — mid-back natural look. Matches Indian women's typical hair-growth goal without looking overdone.
Can I trim extensions shorter after buying?
Yes — any stylist can trim. We recommend trimming by 1-2 inches for personalised layering.
Will 26-inch extensions look fake?
If chosen carefully (weight, cut, styling), no. If just slapped on without blending, yes. Length alone isn't the issue — blending is.
Does length affect lifespan?
Longer extensions are slightly more prone to tip-wear. Same 18-24 month lifespan overall with proper care.
Can I mix lengths on one head?
Yes — some clients layer 18-inch volumizer underneath + 22-inch clip-in tips on top for multi-length cascade.
What length suits my shoulder-length natural hair?
16-inch matches for subtle extension; 18-20 inch for visible length addition.
