Do you dream of thick, long hair, but naturally have short hair? No worries: with hair extensions, you can achieve the length and volume you’ve always dreamed of in just one day. In this article, we’ll explain exactly how to go from short to long hair with extensions - and what to look out for to achieve the best result.
What are the best extensions for short hair?
If you want to go from short to long hair, clip-in extensions and tape extensions are the most popular choices. Especially with short hair, it’s important that the transition looks natural. Luxury For Princess extensions are made from 100% Remy Human Hair, allowing them to blend perfectly with your own hair.
Our advice:
- Do you have a short bob or lob? Choose clip-ins with multiple wefts for even distribution.
- For very short hair (above the shoulders), we recommend having tape extensions or even weave extensions professionally applied.
How many grams of hair do you need for short hair?
Because short hair often has a sharp line, you usually need more grams of hair extensions to create a natural transition. You can also use our selection guide for this.
- Short, thick hair → 220g or more
- Short, fine hair → 160g to 220g
- For daily use → Clip-ins are ideal (easy to put in and take out)
Styling tips for a natural transition
Want to make sure your extensions aren’t visible? With these styling tips, you can create a natural blend:
- Have a hairdresser cut your extensions in layers.
- Style or curl your own hair together with the extensions.
- Use volumizing powder at the roots for extra grip.
- Hide short hairs with a small braid or the 'twist & pin' technique.
