22 Inch Clip In Hair Extensions

22 inch hair extensions typically reach the waist or lower back on most people, creating a noticeably long and flowing finish. They’re measured from the crown of the head rather than the nape, which is why they appear longer once clipped in. On petite frames, the length can sit closer to the waistline, while taller people may find it falls slightly higher on the lower back.

This length is ideal if you want hair that feels intentionally long rather than subtly extended. It works beautifully with styles like loose waves, soft curls or sleek straight looks, where the extra length really shows. If you’re unsure, measuring from the crown down your back with a tape measure can help you visualise where the extensions will sit on your body before choosing your set.

The best weight depends on your natural hair thickness and how full you want the finished look to feel. If your hair is fine or thin, lighter options around 120g–150g are usually the most comfortable. They add length without pulling or feeling heavy at the roots.

For medium-density hair, 180g–220g is a popular choice, offering balanced volume through the mid-lengths and ends. If your hair is naturally thick, or you love a fuller, statement finish, heavier weights such as 250g–300g create a dense look that holds its shape when styled. Choosing the correct weight is especially important with 22 inch clip in extensions, as longer lengths need enough hair to avoid looking wispy at the ends.

Yes, Cliphair extensions are made from 100% Remy human hair, which means they can be cut just like your own hair. Trimming them can be a great option if you love the thickness of a longer set but want the length tailored to your frame or haircut.

For the most natural result, it’s best to have your extensions cut while you’re wearing them, ideally by a professional hairdresser. This allows the stylist to blend the extensions into your natural layers, preventing blunt lines or uneven ends. Cutting them yourself is possible, but professional shaping helps maintain movement and ensures the length still feels intentional rather than accidental.

They don’t have to be, as long as you choose the right type and weight. Thin hair generally feels most comfortable with lighter sets, typically between 120g and 150g, which provide length without overwhelming your natural density. Seamless wefts are also a great option for finer hair, as they sit flatter against the scalp and feel less bulky.

Correct placement plays a big role too. Spacing the wefts evenly and avoiding stacking too much hair in one area helps distribute weight comfortably. When chosen thoughtfully, even long styles like 22 inch clip in extensions can feel secure, wearable and surprisingly lightweight on fine hair.

You can style 22 inch extensions in much the same way as your natural hair, which is part of what makes them so versatile. They can be curled, waved or straightened using heat tools up to 180°C, as long as you use our extension-friendly heat protection spray.

Because of the length, styles that add movement, like loose curls or soft waves, tend to look especially flattering and help reduce tangling throughout the day. When brushing, start at the ends and work upwards gently. Styling in sections also helps the hair hold shape longer and keeps it looking polished without needing excessive heat.
