Choosing the perfect hair extension length isn't just about personal preference – your face shape plays a crucial role in determining which length will flatter you most. Understanding this relationship will help you achieve the most natural, harmonious look with your Signature SYN Halo extensions.

Understanding Face Shapes

Round Face Shape

Characterized by soft curves with width and length roughly equal. Cheekbones are the widest part.

Best Length: 18″-22″ extensions to create vertical lines and elongate the face.

Square Face Shape

Strong jawline with forehead, cheekbones, and jaw roughly the same width.

Best Length: 16″-20″ extensions with soft layers to soften angular features.

Heart Face Shape

Wider forehead and cheekbones with a narrower chin, creating an inverted triangle.

Best Length: 14″-18″ extensions to balance the proportions without overwhelming the chin.

Oval Face Shape

Balanced proportions with the face length about 1.5 times the width. Considered the ideal shape.

Best Length: Any length works! 14″-22″ all look fantastic on oval faces.
