Is it shoulder length approximately? I'm talking about straight hair. |

| Whew! Thanks nusie. I thought I'd made the wrong decision. I ordered hair recently from EP and just wanted to be sure that I ordered the correct length. Deciding on lenght was the toughest part for me. |

It also depends on where you would be measuring from too. And if you have a giraffe neck like mine. 18" is about my shoulder length. You ladies are lucky! ------------- |

18 inch is about bra strap length for me. ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

Since everyone's body proportions are different the lengths will fall differently on each person. I am tall with a long torso, so 18" usually falls just above the boob area whereas I have clients whose 18" extensions fall almost to the waist.
In my salon I use a tape measure to gauge length when trying to determine what to order. I measure from the lowest point to where I'm going to put them (usually underneath the occipital bone) and then I measure about 1" above the ear to gauge where the front is going to fall. ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

I'm six feet tall, and 12" of straight hair makes a nice shoulder-length for me. Bra strap takes 16" and my waist would be close to 22". (Yep, I'm thinking loooonger hair these days!) ------------- Here's to the end of my BAD HAIR LIFE! |

Six feet Kristie! I'm 5'10. Wow, 22" would be your waist? Oh I'm jealous! 22" would probably be my bra strap! I'll have to show you a picture of my long neck! I always wanted a shorter neck but oh well, my sister got the good hair and shorter neck!

Yep, 22" to my waist. I have the longest legs in the world with a proportionally short torso. My family's all Scandinavian and German with freaky long legs and arms. ------------- Here's to the end of my BAD HAIR LIFE! |

Diva, I've always loved that song! I've got some to still lose myself (lost almost 60 a few years ago but want to lose a little more.) I would be a veritable brick house if I could just shift a little from the bootay to the tatas (but I know it would take a plastic surgeon to do that!) I'm definitely an Amazon, though... scares a lot of guys off, but the love of my life is 6'6" and isn't frightened by me one bit!  ------------- Here's to the end of my BAD HAIR LIFE! |

Kristie, do me a favor? Measure your leg (s) from your hip bone to your ankle and tell me what you get? I was always told I had long legs but I'm thinking yours must be really really long!!!
And you wear heels? I'm afraid of heights. ------------- |
