16 inch hair extensions add real thickness and a natural length boost, without ever reading as "extensions."

This is the lightest length across every method we offer, which makes it the easiest on natural hair and the safest starting point if you have never worn extensions before. Most first-time customers choose 16 inches for exactly this reason, enough change to notice, nothing that feels like a commitment.

16 inch hair extensions FAQs

Where do 16 inch hair extensions fall?
It depends on your height and where the hair is fitted, so there is no single answer. Measure from the fitting line at the back of your head straight down and you will know exactly. Every length is quoted straight, so a wavy or curly set at 16 inches sits higher than a straight one.

Who are 16 inch hair extensions best for?
16 inch is the lightest length WAVE makes and the usual starting point for a first set. If you are between two lengths, think about the finished hang you want rather than the number, and remember that curl and wave both take up visual length.

How much hair do I need at 16 inches?
Around 150g covers a full head at this length, which is three 50g packs. Because 16 inch is the lightest length, it is also the most forgiving on fine hair.

Do curly 16 inch extensions look shorter than straight ones?
Yes, and it is easy to underestimate. All lengths are measured straight from the tab to the tip, so once a wave or curl relaxes into its own pattern it sits noticeably higher on the body. The deeper the pattern, the bigger the difference. Order one length up if the client has a specific finished hang in mind.

Which fitting methods come in 16 inch?
At 16 inch you can choose weft bundles, clip in sets, tape ins, K-tips and the Luxeline tape range. See the list above for what is live right now.

Can 16 inch hair extensions be cut and blended?
Yes. Every WAVE range is 100% Remy human hair, so a stylist can point cut and blend the ends into your own hair exactly as they would with your natural length. Most sets look considerably more natural after a blend than straight out of the pack.

Choose by texture as well as length

Length is only half the decision. Matching the curl pattern is what makes a set blend after washing.

Still deciding on length? Read the hair extension length guide, which covers where 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24 inch actually fall and how height and curl change the result. For shade, use the free colour match or the colour swatches. Stylists can open a trade account.
