Before putting on your hair extensions, We always recommend that you go to one of our salons in Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao o Sevilla so that the stylists can recommend what best suits you. And this also happens with the length of your hair.

What type of hair do you have?

We can differentiate many styles of hair: short, long, midi hair, with layered cuts, asymmetrical... And you most likely have one of those cuts.

One of the most requested in our extension centers, es a change from midi hair to long hair.

Short Hair Extensions: Yes, It's Possible!

One of the common concerns when considering extensions is whether they can be applied on short hair. At Play Extension, we bust that myth. Our adhesive extensions system is perfect for short hair, with a minimum required length of just 10 centimeters. If your hair is very short, we cannot put you on yet extensions. In this case, we recommend that you wait a few months to get hair extensions, or look for a different style. For example, you could lengthen your bangs a little if you have the minimum length to look different.

If your hair is short but has a length of more than 10 cm, good news! Your hair is suitable for adhesive extensionss. Our recommendation is that you do not use extensions of more than 30 or 45cm in length. The reason is for comfort, since if you are used to wearing your hair short, you will know that the care is much more extensive: before you could leave the house just by getting your hair wet and combing it with your hands... not with extensions. The adhesive extensions or any other system, require daily maintenance, you can see it in this post.

If your hair is midi

Perfect! In this case, you can lengthen your hair without problem. For cases with straight midi cuts, if you want to keep that same cut but longer, you would have to cut the extensions from 2 to 5 cm to get them with a straight cut, since the adhesive extensions They come pre-cut to give a peak cut style.

If you want to get even longer hair, you can combine the adhesive extensions 45cm with the XL to achieve a greater adaptation to your natural hair.

If your hair is long

If your hair is long, You can always fill in the ends that may be seen with less hair than the rest of the hair.. Of course, we recommend that if you have more than 45 cm of hair, you use the XL adhesive extensions so you notice the change.

If all you want is to add volume, 45 cm hair extensions would be perfect to achieve the effect you want.

If you have an asymmetrical cut or a shaved area:

You have to know that in the area where the hair is very short (less than 10cm) we cannot put extensions, but we can lengthen the rest of the hair without problem with the help of the adhesive extensions.
