Loc Extension Size Guide: 0.4cm vs 0.6cm vs 0.8cm vs 1.0cm and Thicker
Why Does Loc Extension Size Matter?
Choosing the right diameter is one of the most important decisions when buying human hair loc extensions.
Loc diameter affects how many locs you may need, how full the finished hairstyle looks and the overall weight and styling possibilities.
CAVORA Hair offers multiple diameter options ranging from 0.4 cm to 1.4 cm.
0.4cm Loc Extensions
0.4 cm is one of the thinner options.
It can create a detailed appearance with a larger number of individual locs.
Consider 0.4 cm if you prefer:
- Thin locs
- More individual sections
- Detailed hairstyles
- A lighter visual appearance
0.6cm Loc Extensions
0.6 cm is still relatively thin but creates slightly more presence than 0.4 cm.
It's a good option for customers who want smaller locs without going to the thinnest available size.
0.8cm Loc Extensions
0.8 cm sits around the medium range and offers a balanced appearance.
If you're unsure whether to choose thin or thick locs, this can be a useful size to consider.
1.0cm Loc Extensions
At 1.0 cm, locs become noticeably thicker.
This diameter can create a stronger, fuller-looking style while generally requiring fewer individual locs than thinner sizes.
1.2cm and 1.4cm Loc Extensions
These sizes are designed for customers who prefer a bold, chunky loc appearance.
Because thicker extensions contain more hair, always consider total hairstyle weight—particularly when combining a thick diameter with long extensions.
Loc Extension Size Comparison
| Diameter | General Look | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 0.4 cm | Very thin | Detailed, numerous locs |
| 0.6 cm | Thin | Smaller natural-looking locs |
| 0.8 cm | Medium | Balanced everyday style |
| 1.0 cm | Medium-thick | Fuller, defined locs |
| 1.2 cm | Thick | Bold loc styles |
| 1.4 cm | Extra thick | Chunky statement locs |
Which Size Should You Buy?
Don't choose based on appearance alone.
Consider your:
Natural hair + desired number of locs + extension length + total weight + installation method.
If you're unsure, show your desired hairstyle to an experienced loctician before ordering.
