Firstly, you should realistically decide the length you are aiming for. In order to achieve ideal results, you should begin with the current length of your natural hair and from there figure out the length of your extensions. For instance, short hair that is above your shoulder should be integrated properly within the length of the original hair. Going too long can be a mistake, especially if the person does not have layers. A blunt haircut will appear like some sort of ledge. The systems that we offer have the hair lengths ranging from 16” to 26.” If you have enough hair that hides the extension’s top weft then it is possible for you to wear hair extensions of any length that you want. However, if you have shorter hair then you might need extra pieces than the amount that’s offered in one system.

Secondly, you should have an understanding of the systems. Every clip-in set of hair extensions comes in a variety of bases, lengths, and pieces. Therefore, you should assess and measure the length of your hair and the volume you want to get with the hair extensions. Certain people are fine with 8 to 10 pieces of clip-ins while others are more comfortable with four clip-ins. The system ranges from one piece, two pieces, five pieces, eight pieces, and ten pieces. Longer hair will require fewer pieces for the volume, while shorter hair needs more pieces for length. If one system has more pieces then each weft will contain less quantity of hair. On the other hand, the system that offers fewer pieces will have more hair on every weft. Therefore, do not get confused when you discover that the eight piece system is more expensive as compared to the ten piece system. You are now informed about the quantity of hair that is offered in each system; hence an eight piece system will have more hair. This all depends upon what you are looking for and what you desire.

Thirdly, you should also think about the time you are willing to spend in order to manage and maintain your hair extensions. Whether it is human hair or synthetic hair, each type has their specific benefits. Synthetic hair extensions are heat-friendly and do not really need to be styled besides integrating them with your natural hair. The downside is that this type of fiber is not long-lasting. On the other hand, the virgin human hair extensions are known for their durability and are also long-lasting. However, the downside of human hair extensions is that they need to be styled using heat each time you wear them. At the end of the day, it all depends on your preference and the time you are willing to spend on your hair extensions.
