Wig Length Guide
Wig lengths are measured from the crown (top of the head) down to the ends. Here's how lengths:

---|---|
8" | Chin-length (bob) |
10"–12" | Shoulder or collarbone |
14"–16" | Past shoulders/mid-back |
18"–20" | Upper back or bra strap |
22"–24" | Waist length |
26"+ | Hip or longer (very long) |
Tip: Curly and wavy wigs appear shorter than straight ones, so consider sizing up 2"–4
Common Extension Lengths:
Length (inches) | Style & Where It Falls |
---|---|
10"–12" | Short layers, bob-length |
14"–16" | Shoulder to mid-back |
18"–20" | Bra strap length |
22"–24" | Waist length |
26"+ | Very long; for dramatic looks |
