What lengths do hand tied extensions come in?

Hand-tied extensions come in a variety of lengths, typically ranging from 12 to 24 inches. The length you choose depends on your desired look and the current length of your natural hair. Shorter lengths are ideal for adding volume or subtle length, while longer lengths provide a more dramatic transformation.

Another word we can include in our guide is “weft”, if it suits the content. Many competitors have this keyword as well.

How many rows of hand tied extensions do I need?

The number of rows you need will be determined by what your end goal is.

If you want to just add thickness or volume and keep the same length, you will just need to add one row of hand tied extensions.

If you want to add length, even just a couple of inches, you will need to add two or more full rows.

Your natural density will also determine how many hand tied wefts need to go on each row. The thicker your hair, the more extensions will need to be added to make it look natural.
