Why Choose 16 Inch Clip In Hair Extensions?

16 inch clip in hair extensions are one of the most popular choices for anyone wanting a natural-looking length to increase with added volume. This clip in length is amazing for those with collar bone length hair or longer, as it blends smoothly without creating an obvious contrast between your natural hair and the extensions. On most people, 16 inch extensions sit just below the shoulders, depending on height and torso length. 

This length is especially popular for everyday wear because it feels lightweight, manageable and realistic. If you want fuller hair without a dramatic change, 16 inch clip in extensions offer the perfect balance. They’re also a great middle ground when comparing longer options like 18 inch clip in hair extensions or 20 inch clip in hair extensions, giving you a soft, natural hair blend that’s easy to style and maintain.

All sets feature double drawn hair, so the thickness stays consistent from root to tip rather than thinning at the ends, giving you premium quality extensions that look fuller and more realistic when worn. You can heat style these extensions up to 180°C with heat protection, allowing you to curl, straighten or wave them while maintaining their condition. All of our hair is quality tested and ethically sourced, giving you the confidence you need.

16 Inch Extensions for Every Hair Type 

16 inch clip in hair extensions work well across a wide range of hair types. The default texture is straight hair extensions, which can be worn sleek or styled into soft waves or curls. This makes them particularly suitable for naturally straight hair, as the blend looks smooth and consistent throughout. 

For finer hair, lightweight or seamless sets help achieve a natural finish, while thicker hair types may prefer fuller clip in sets for more dramatic volume. The mid-back length also makes blending easier, especially when layering your own hair slightly. If your natural texture is curly, we also offer dedicated curly clip in hair extensions.

FAQ's

Are 16 inch clip-in extensions long enough for my hair?

Yes, 16 inch clip-in hair extensions are long enough for most people who want a natural-looking increase in length and volume. This length is particularly well suited to those with shoulder length hair or slightly longer, as it blends smoothly without creating a noticeable jump between your natural hair and the extensions. 16 inch extensions usually fall around mid-back, making them ideal for everyday wear rather than dramatic length changes.

As the length is moderate, it also feels lighter and more manageable than longer options, which many people prefer for regular use. If your main goal is fuller hair with a subtle length boost that looks realistic in both casual and styled looks, this length is often the best choice, particularly for maintenance.

What’s the difference between 16 inch and 20 inch clip in extensions?

The main difference between 16 inch and 20 inch clip in extensions is the visible length. A 4-inch difference may not sound significant, but it creates a noticeably different overall look. 16 inch extensions typically sit around mid-back, while 20 inch clip in hair extensions reach closer to the lower back, creating a longer and more dramatic finish.

This length is generally chosen for a natural, everyday appearance that blends easily with shoulder length or mid-length hair. 20 inch extensions, on the other hand, are better suited to those wanting a more striking change or longer styling options. Your height, torso length and natural hair length all play a role in how each option will look, so considering proportions is key when choosing between them.

How do I know if 16 inch clip in extensions are right for me?

Sixteen-inch clip-in hair extensions are best suited to those whose natural hair is at least shoulder length. If your hair already reaches your shoulders or slightly below, this length will blend more naturally and avoid a visible contrast between your hair and the extensions. It’s an ideal choice if you want added volume and a modest length increase without committing to a dramatic transformation.

Your height can also influence how the extensions sit. On petite frames, 16 inches may appear slightly longer, while on taller individuals it may sit a little higher on the back. This length is especially popular for first-time extension wearers because it feels comfortable, looks realistic and requires less maintenance than longer styles. If you want versatility without extra weight, 16 inches is often the most appropriate option.

Are 16 inch clip in extensions easy to look after?

Yes, 16 inch clip-in extensions are considered one of the easiest lengths to maintain! They are shorter than longer, popular hair extension options and they’re less prone to tangling and friction, especially around clothing and bags. This makes daily wear, styling and storage more straightforward.

Washing is simple, as the length allows for easier handling and faster drying times. With proper care, including gentle brushing, minimal heat styling and correct storage, these extensions typically last between up to 12 months.

Can you heat style 16 inch clip-in hair extensions?

Yes, all Cliphair 16 inch clip-in hair extensions are made from 100% Remy human hair, which means they can be heat styled just like your own hair. You can curl, straighten or wave them safely up to 180°C, provided you use our heat protection spray to minimise damage.

The hair is double drawn and cuticle-aligned, meaning it responds well to styling and holds shape effectively. While heat styling is safe, limiting frequent high temperatures will help maintain the softness and lifespan of the extensions. You can also tone or dye them to a darker shade if needed, but lightening or bleaching is not recommended, as this can compromise hair quality.
