Choosing the right extension length is crucial for achieving a natural, flattering look. Our expert guide covers everything you need to know about selecting between 14", 18", and 22" options to complement your unique face shape and personal style.

Face Shape Guide

Round Face Shape

Best Choice: 18" or 22" - Longer lengths help elongate a round face and create vertical lines. The 18" length hits at the perfect spot to slim the face, while 22" creates dramatic length that draws the eye downward.

Oval Face Shape

Best Choice: Any Length - Lucky you! Oval faces are perfectly balanced and can wear any of our extension lengths beautifully. Choose based on your lifestyle and styling preferences.

Square Face Shape

Best Choice: 18" or 22" - Longer lengths help soften angular jawlines. Avoid the 14" length as it may emphasize the width of your jaw. Opt for 18" for everyday wear or 22" for special occasions.

Heart Face Shape

Best Choice: 14" or 18" - These lengths help balance a wider forehead with a narrower chin. The 14" length adds volume at shoulder level, while 18" provides elegant movement without overwhelming your delicate jawline.

Long Face Shape

Best Choice: 14" - Shorter lengths help add width and volume to balance a longer face. The 14" length creates the illusion of width at the shoulders, which helps proportion your features beautifully.
