SHORT HAIR EXTENSIONS TO ACHIEVE THAT NATURAL LOOK

It is fairly obvious that hair extensions are used to extend the length of your hair. However, what if you don’t want it to

Well, maybe short hair extensions are for you. Most brands of hair extensions start their lengths from 20”. Or in some cases only offer 20”. At ZALA, our lengths range from 12” right up to 30”.

12? sets are considered short to medium length, whereas 14 and 16” sets are still considered a mid to long length hairstyle, however it is a natural sitting length. Short hair extensions are great for ladies with shorter layers as the length comparison won’t be as harsh. They are also great if your hair is already this length and you want to add more volume and thickness.

WHY SHORT HAIR EXTENSIONS OVER LONG HAIR EXTENSIONS?

If your hair is naturally short with short layers also, you may want to consider shorter lengths of extensions for example 14” or 16”. When wearing long hair extensions with short hair, you may find it is too much for you and too big of a change. 

So, wondering how to make hair extensions look natural with short hair? The key here is to keep your hair at a very natural, modest length because that will make you more comfortable and give your hair a relaxed look.

Also, you may wonder how to add extensions to short hair and blend them in a way that they look as natural as possible? Well, the main factors that play a role here include the extensions’ length and where they exactly sit. 

Blending clip-in extensions with short hair can be a little tricky but the process will become easy if you get a thick set, match and blend colors for extra dimension, and tease the roots for additional hold. Also, be sure to install the wefts higher than usual and use a long and wide weft to cover the short layers. Waves and curls also help the wefts mix naturally with your hair.

WHERE DO 12? HAIR EXTENSIONS SIT?

12-inch hair extensions sit on the shoulders. This is considered a very natural looking length and is very popular with our older customers who want an undetectable look. 12-inch hair extensions are also perfect for thickening up wispy ends if you prefer added volume rather than length.

WHERE DO 16? HAIR EXTENSIONS SIT?

16” ZALA hair extensions sit at your bust area. This is a popular length for ladies with hair naturally at or around this length and is choosing to thicken out their current hair and add volume using hair extensions. This is a great everyday length which wouldn’t interfere with your day to day activities and still give you the longer hair look you desire.

If your hair is very thin, we recommend you get Halo extensions because they will not damage your already fragile hair. Halo extension comes as an individual hair piece with a hidden wire that holds the wefts comfortably on your head like a Halo. The extension does not attach directly to your hair. Be sure to learn how to put in halo extensions in short hair before trying the installation procedure at home.
