The ideal length for deep curly hair extensions depends on the look you want to achieve and your natural hair length. Since curly textures have more shrinkage than straight hair, extensions often appear shorter than their measured length.

• For a natural look: Opt for lengths close to your own hair, typically between 12 and 16 inches, to blend seamlessly and add subtle volume.
• For a fuller, shoulder-length style: Choose 16 to 20 inches, which provides a bouncy, mid-length look with defined curls.
• For a dramatic, long style: Go for 22 inches or longer. This creates an eye-catching look, with curls cascading down your back.

When selecting the length, consider how deep curls affect the overall appearance. A 20-inch extension in deep curly hair may look similar to 18 inches in straight hair due to the curl pattern. Always measure the extensions when stretched and account for shrinkage to pick the perfect length for your style preferences.
