CHOOSING HAIR TEXTURES & LENGTHS

Picking the perfect hair extensions can feel like a bit of a maze, but don't worry—we've got you. Whether you're new to raw hair or just looking to switch up your style, this guide will break down everything you need to know about raw hair textures and lengths. Let’s dive in!

Understanding Hair Textures

Raw and Virgin hair comes in a variety of textures to match your natural vibe and style. Here’s a quick rundown:

1. Straight:

  • Look: Sleek, smooth, and naturally shiny.
  • Vibe: Perfect for a polished, effortless look.
  • Styling: Can be easily curled or waved for versatility, but always bounces back to its sleek form.

2. Wavy:

  • Look: Soft waves that add volume and dimension.
  • Vibe: Ideal for a beachy, carefree style.
  • Styling: Can be straightened or curled, and looks fab with minimal effort.

3. Curly (coming soon to our shop!):

  • Look: Defined curls that bring serious bounce and body.
  • Vibe: Great for a bold, dynamic look.
  • Styling: Loves moisture—keep it hydrated for those curls to pop!

4. Kinky/Coily (coming soon to our shop!):

  • Look: Tight, springy coils with lots of texture.
  • Vibe: Perfect for a full, natural look with maximum volume.
  • Styling: Requires regular moisture and gentle handling to keep those coils looking fresh.

Choosing the Right Length

Raw hair extensions come in a variety of lengths to suit your style and needs. Here’s how to choose the right one:

  1. Short (10-14 inches):
  • Look: Falls around shoulder length or shorter.
  • Vibe: Ideal for a chic, low-maintenance look.
  • Best For: Adding volume and fullness to your natural hair without the extra length.

2. Medium (16-20 inches):

  • Look: Falls between your shoulders and mid-back.
  • Vibe: Great for versatile styling options—think updos, ponytails, and loose waves.
  • Best For: A balanced blend of length and manageability.

3. Long (22-26 inches):

  • Look: Falls around your mid-back to lower back.
  • Vibe: Perfect for a dramatic, glamorous look.
  • Best For: Those who love long, flowing styles that turn heads.

4. Extra Long (28+ inches):

  • Look: Falls to your waist or beyond.
  • Vibe: Ultimate length for a statement-making, goddess-like look.
  • Best For: Special occasions or if you love making a big impression with your hair.

How to Measure Your Hair

  • Straight and Wavy Hair: Measure from the weft (where the hair is sewn) to the ends while the hair is laid flat.
  • Curly and Kinky/Coily Hair: Measure the hair while it’s stretched out straight to get the full length.

Pro Tips for Choosing the Perfect Hair

  • Consider Your Lifestyle: If you’re always on the go, opt for shorter lengths or lower-maintenance textures like straight or wavy.
  • Think About Your Natural Hair: Match the texture of your extensions to your natural hair for a seamless blend.
  • Play with Styles: Don’t be afraid to mix textures and lengths for a unique, personalised look.
