Tape Extension Length & Weight – 40, 50, 60 cm Guide
The length and weight of tape-in extensions determine how the result looks and how many packs you need. In this guide we compare the most popular lengths – 40, 50, and 60 cm – and explain how many grams each look requires.
How do the different lengths look?
- 40 cm – reaches just below the shoulders, natural added length and volume.
- 50 cm – to chest height, the most popular all-round length.
- 60 cm – reaches the back, a striking and glamorous look.
A visual comparison of all lengths is in our length guide.
How many grams do you need?
The longer the extensions, the more weight you need for a balanced look. A rough guide for a full head:
- 40 cm: about 100–150 g
- 50 cm: about 150–200 g
- 60 cm: about 200–250 g

Length, your own height, and face shape
Longer extensions suit tall and average heights especially well; for shorter people 40–50 cm often looks the most balanced. Also consider your own hair length so the transition is seamless.
Length and price
Longer, heavier sets cost more because they use more hair. Choose a length you’ll actually wear day to day.
