I've been debating about getting clip in extensions, but I'm not sure what length or not. I just want to give it a try. That's how long my hair is.

Below your chest would look good. That's either 18 or 22 inch. Can't remember

Yes why not, but natural beauty is the best! so try to not make it to fake, but long hair would look great!

When my hair was the same length as yours I had 14inch clip in extensions and they go right to your chest and blended seamlessly!

Okay, so I might try a 16 inch. Not too long not too short?

Here's a length chart so you can see where the length will hit you on your body. Your hair looks like its around twelve inches right now, so I wouldn't get something too short if I were you. Personally I love extensions and long hair- and I think that's the point of extensions is to add length and volume to your hair, so go big or go home; right? ;) lol! That being said I think you should get at least 18inches! You can always go to a salon and get them cut in with your hair if its too long, but you can't make them longer; you know? And since you haven't had extensions yet- trust me when I say you'll want them to be long, they are more fun to style and have in!. What brand are you thinking about going with? There are some really amazing brands out there that are affordable, if you search around. Also if you need help finding extensions I can help you pick a good brand with quality hair because they can get pricey!! I think you should also educated yourself on the extensions you want to purchase and make sure you find out how many grams of hair they are before you buy anything! this is because the longer they are- the more hair you need for them to look natural and full, (so it doesn't look scraggly and thin at the ends) 18-20" of hair extensions should be around 200- 220 grams of hair for good quality extensions. This will really make a big difference on how they blend into your hair, and how long they last (as well as how you take care of them will matter too) And one last thing- make sure if you want good quality hair, to get remy hair, this only means all of the hairs' cuticles are facing one direction and all of the cuticles are closed.
By doing this process, (with the cuticles) it ensures that the hair remains super soft, shiny, silky and completely tangle-free throughout its lifetime. Hope this helped! Xo
