What Hair Extensions Are Considered Extra Long?

There is no universal definition for long hair. Some people consider armpit hair long, while others believe it should at least reach the tailbone.

In this regard, a common question that arises is - what is the longest hair extension you can get?

Typically, the standard length ranges from 14 inches to 24 inches. For straight hair, this would mean the length from just below the shoulders to mid-back, but for wavy or curly hair, the length may vary, and a 24-inch bundle might be just armpit length. Feel free to refer to our hair extension length chart to see how they look.

If you're looking for really long hair extensions, we offer lengths of more than 24 inches. Our catalog includes extensions in 26″, 28″ and 30″. However, extensions longer than 30 inches are rare, exclusive, and may not be suitable for everyone.

26-inch extensions will reach almost to your waist if your hair is straight or wavy, and bra-strap length if your hair is curly.
28-inch extensions will be waist length if your hair is straight and mid-back length if you choose wavy or curly extensions.
30-inch extensions would reach hip length for straight hair, waist length for wavy hair, and mid-back length for very curly hair.

As you already understand, hair length can differ based on the level of waviness. Moreover, your hairstyle can also be influenced by your height.

So, what hair extensions are considered ultra long?

This category includes hair ranging between 34 inches (85 cm) to 40 inches (1 m) in length. Find such hair in Slavic human hair - a real exclusive (by nature, Slavic hair is very soft and thin, and growing this type of hair to such lengths can be quite challenging.

However, it is much easier to find Remy hair from the Asian market. These bundles have denser structure. It is important to consider this point because, due to the density of the hair, it is not suitable for every client.

If you are satisfied with everything, make sure the hair is Remy and not artificially elongated or stretched.

The Most Popular Extra Long Hair Extensions Types

Let's discuss the best technique for this hair length:

clip-in hair extensions

Extra long clip-in hair extensions

Clip-in extensions are a popular option for long lengths for many reasons.

First, they're temporary extensions, so you don’t have to wear them every day. You can try this hairstyle for any important event: a party, a wedding, etc.

Secondly, too long hair weighs more than standard bundles. Considerable weight may be too heavy for natural strands. However, if you do not wear it on a permanent basis, it will not harm your hair.

And finally, they are invisible in the hairstyle, so your styling will look absolutely natural.

Fusion extensions

Extra long Fusion hair extensions

If your hair stylist has approved the idea of wearing long strands permanently, we recommend that you try the fusion technique.

These are invisible extensions that give you a natural look. People who see you with this styling for the first time will think that you have naturally long hair.

Bonds used in this technique are almost undetectable when worn, which is particularly important when dealing with really long hair.

If the extensions are installed correctly, they will not harm the health of your hair and will help enhance your overall appearance.

Hand-tied weft extensions

Hand-tied weft extensions

Another excellent option of permanent extensions. Like fusions, they don't cause any damage to your natural hair and look incredibly natural. Unlike K-tips, where extensions are attached with bonds, hand-tied wefts fix the locks with a thin braid made around the perimeter of the head.

The significant advantage of this method is that you won't lose any length during the reapplication procedure. The old braid is undone, and the hair tech makes a new one and fixes your weft in it.

tape-in extensions

Extra long tape-in hair extensions

You have probably heard that many hair stylists prefer the tape-in technique. However, at I Love Slavic Hair, we don't recommend this method for those with fine hair as tapes are usually very noticeable in the hairstyle.

In addition, tape-in hair extensions are less comfortable to wear compared to keratin tip or hand-tied weft extensions.

Can You wear hair extensions if Your hair is already long?

If you have naturally long hair, it doesn’t mean you have to give up the idea of making it even longer or adding volume. First, it's best to consult with your hair technician, who will tell you whether your hair is suitable for longer hair extensions or not.

Since long hair is usually quite strong, most hair stylists will give their approval for these kinds of beauty treatments.

CAN YOU WEAR HAIR EXTENSIONS IF YOUR HAIR IS ALREADY LONG?

Human VS Synthetic Ultra Long Hair Extensions

We always recommend using natural hair.

Weight

Synthetic hair is much heavier than natural bundles, especially when it comes to longer lengths.

Using Synthetic Extensions can put unnecessary load on the hair roots, which can weaken your natural locks and even cause hair loss.

Comfort

Natural hair is pleasant to the touch and can be styled into any hairdo with ease.
Synthetic hair has a different texture and cannot withstand high temperatures for styling.
Moreover, synthetic hair is not meant for long-term use.

Dyeing

Synthetic hair bundles have limitations when it comes to styling and coloring. If you want to change the color of your hair, you will have to purchase a new bundle that matches the desired color. On the other hand, you can easily change their color by taking them to an experienced colorist. The colorist will select the desired shade and perform the coloring so that the quality of the hair is not affected.

Natural look

All synthetic hair has an intense mirror-like shine, which is not typically found in natural hair.

Remy VS Non-Remy Ultra Long Hair Extensions

You've probably heard that Remy hair is highly recommended by almost all hair technicians. But what makes it so good?

Do you prefer your hair to feel smooth and pleasant to the touch?

Remy hair is hair bundles with untouched cuticles that evenly cover the entire strand.

High-quality Remy hair should be treated delicately without the use of aggressive chemicals that can damage the cuticle.

Often, this damage is covered up with a layer of silicone. However, when this layer is washed off, the bundles quickly become tangled and unsuitable for wear. If a product has a strong artificial shine, it may indicate that the hair is coated with a layer of silicone.

Are you worried that very long hair will be difficult to comb?

Remy hair bundles are arranged in a specific way - from roots to tips.

If the hair is cut and laid without control over the direction of growth, it can become difficult or impossible to comb. Non-Remy hair, in particular, can quickly become unsuitable for wearing due to this issue.

When you choose I Love Slavic Hair, you will always receive high-quality Remy hair with preserved cuticles and aligned hair to hair. Additionally, the hair undergoes careful disinfection.

Pros & Cons of Extra Long Hair Extensions

Super long extensions can be a great way to achieve the desired length and volume. However, as with any beauty procedure, there are pros and cons.

Here are some key points to keep in mind:

Pros:

Length and volume
The extensions will help you achieve your dream hairstyle without waiting for years for your hair to grow. Additionally, super long extensions solve the problem of not being able to grow your hair as long as you want.
Versatility
By choosing longer strands, you will have more options for styling, from complex braids to smooth curls.
Ideal for special occasions
Such extensions are often installed for weddings, graduations, or parties where the goal is to make a memorable and lasting impression.

Cons:

Difficult to care
To maintain a good-looking hairstyle, you will need to put in significantly more time and effort than you would with a standard length.
Heavy weight
The longer the extensions, the heavier they are. This extra weight can cause unnecessary discomfort and stress on natural hair and scalp, especially if you have thin or weak curls.
Consult your hair stylist to see whether this type of extension is suitable for you.
Price
Bundles of longer lengths will be more expensive than shorter ones.
For instance, a bundle weighing 100 grams and measuring 22 inches in length will cost around USD 345-360. For a 32-inches-long bundle of the same weight, you will need to pay an additional $50 or more.

How to Choose The Right Quantity Of Hair Extensions When Going Super Long?

If there is a significant difference between the length of your natural hair and the length of the extensions you want to buy, it is always recommended to purchase hair with a margin. This will not only ensure extra length but also optimal hair thickness. Furthermore, a larger amount of hair will help conceal the point where the shorter hair transitions into the longer hair.

This article will guide you in selecting the ideal amount of grams for long hair.

Care and Maintenance of Extra Long Hair Extensions

Use the right comb

Avoid hard combs or ball-tipped brushes as they can tear out extended strands. Instead, we offer a range of hairbrushes designed specifically for hair extensions which allow you to comb any tangles and tidy up your hair without injuring your natural strands.

Comb properly

When combing your hair, avoid pulling and tugging on the locks. It is recommended to gather your hair into a low tail and hold it neatly while combing it from the bottom to the top, starting from the tips and moving towards the roots.

It is important to comb your hair in the morning, before going to bed, and if necessary, during the day.

Additionally, it is important to comb before washing them. This will help remove any fallen hairs that may get tangled and cause issues during washing.

Opt for good care products

If you're not sure, it's best to consult with your hair stylist.

You'll need a high-quality and well-cleansing shampoo. Though sulfate-free shampoos are often advised, they may not be effective in cleaning the length of your hair. Therefore, it's better to choose a gentle yet effective cleansing product.

Always use conditioner after shampooing to smoothen the cuticles and keep your hair smooth for a longer time. Once a week, apply a repair mask.

Do not go to bed with wet hair

Hair, especially long hair, can easily get damaged when wet. Therefore, it is important to dry your hair thoroughly.

We recommend putting your hair in a loose braid before going to bed to prevent tangling.

In this article, we explain in detail how to make sleeping with hair extensions comfortable and safe for the health of your natural hair.

Opt for silk pillowcases and scrunchies

Silk reduces friction between your hair and pillow, minimizing the risk of tangling.

Silk scrunchies are delicate and won’t leave a crease in your hair.
