Wig Length Guide

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

Wig Length (inches) Hair Falls To (Approximate)
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

 Application Methods:

  • Clip-ins: Temporary, easy to apply/remove.

  • Tape-ins: Semi-permanent (last 4–8 weeks).

Care Tips

  • Use wide-tooth combs for detangling.

  • Wash with sulfate-free, wig-safe products.

  • Store on a mannequin head to maintain shape.

  • For long wigs/extensions: detangle from ends to roots gently.
