It is fairly obvious that hair extensions are used to extend the length of your hair. However what if you don’t want it to be a dramatic change? Or you would prefer them to thicken your hair rather than extend the length of your hair?
Well, maybe short hair extensions are for you. Most brands of hair extensions start their lengths from 20”. Or in some cases only offer 20”. At ZALA, our lengths range from 12” right up to 30”.

12″ sets are considered short to medium length, whereas 14 and 16” sets are still considered a mid to long length hairstyle however it is a natural sitting length. Short hair extensions are great for ladies with shorter layers as the length comparison won’t be as harsh. They are also great if your hair is already this length and you want to add more volume and thickness.
Why short hair extensions over long hair extensions?
If your hair is naturally short with short layers also, you may want to consider shorter lengths of extensions for example 14” or 16”. When wearing long hair extensions with short hair, you may find it is too much for you and too big of a change. Keeping your hair a very natural, modest length will make you more comfortable and keep a relaxed look.
Where do 12″ hair extensions sit?
12-inch hair extensions sit on the shoulders. This is considered a very natural looking length and is very popular with our older customers who want an undetectable look. 12-inch hair extensions are also perfect for thickening up wispy ends if you prefer added volume rather than length.
This is the shortest length on offer at ZALA hair extensions and is available in our tape range.
Where do 14″ hair extensions sit?
14-inch hair extensions sit above your bust area. This is considered a natural looking length and allows ladies to create hairstyles which they may not be able to create with their natural length.
This is the shortest length of our clip in range and is very popular for adding volume to fine hair!

Where do 16″ hair extensions sit?
16” ZALA hair extensions sit at your bust area. This is a popular length for ladies with hair naturally at or around this length and is choosing to thicken out their current hair and add volume using hair extensions. This is a great everyday length which wouldn’t interfere with your day to day activities and still give you the longer hair look you desire.
