can you get hair extensions if you have short hair?
The answer is yes, absolutely! However, there are a few things to consider before getting your hair extensions so that you can ensure a seamless blend, but we’ve got you covered! In this article, we’ll show you everything you need to know about hair extensions for short hair and some tips on how to choose the best type.
The secret to wearing hair extensions with short hair is to place them carefully under your natural hair and style all the hair together.
Here's a tutorial on how to place clip-in hair extensions to short hair:
how long should your hair be for hair extensions?
The general rule is that your hair should be at least 3 inches long to use tape-in extensions for short hair.
However, if you want to achieve a seamless blend and a realistic look with clip-in hair extensions, you may need to have a bob cut or longer. This way, the extensions can be easily hidden under your own hair and match the shape of your style.

what type of hair extensions should you choose?
If you have short hair, you might want to avoid heavy or long extensions that can weigh down your natural hair.
For fine and thin hair, we recommend using the invisible clip-in hair extensions or tape-in hair extensions so that it's easier to hide them underneath your natural hair.
The regular clip-in hair extensions with a fabric stitched base are suitable for thick/normal density hair.

what is the difference between tape-in extensions and clip-in extensions?
- Clip-in hair extensions are pieces of hair that are attached to your own hair with clips. They are easy to apply, comfortable to wear and can help to change your look in minutes.
- Tape-in hair extensions are sections of hair that are taped to your own hair with a special adhesive. They are more permanent than clip-in hair extensions, and can last up to eight weeks with proper care.
