Not sure whether to choose 14, 16, 18 or 20 inches of Deep Curly Crochet Hair? Start with the finished shape you want, not just the number on the product page. Two installs using the same listed length can look different because the curls, placement, styling, layering and your proportions all affect how far the hair appears to fall.
Her Hair Company currently offers Deep Curly Crochet Hair in 14, 16, 18 and 20 inches, with 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-pack choices at each length. This guide focuses on length selection. If you are deciding how much hair to purchase, our separate Deep Curly Crochet Hair pack-count guide explains the 50–200g options.
Quick comparison: 14 vs. 16 vs. 18 vs. 20 inches
| Listed length | Overall styling direction | What to check before buying |
|---|---|---|
| 14 inches | A comparatively compact, shorter curly silhouette | Whether you want the curls to feel more cropped or framed around your face |
| 16 inches | A little more visible length while keeping the style manageable | Whether you want a middle ground between shorter volume and longer movement |
| 18 inches | A longer curly outline and more room for shaping or layering | How much curl drop you expect and whether layers are part of your install plan |
| 20 inches | The longest of these four HHC options for an elongated curly style | How you will maintain, separate and protect the longer ends |
Important: these are relative styling directions, not guarantees that a particular length will stop at your shoulders, chest or waist. Defined curls take up space and can look shorter than an equivalent straight-hair measurement.
Why Deep Curly hair can look shorter than its listed length
The listed length helps you compare the hair choices being sold. The visible drop is the distance the styled curls appear to travel once the hair is installed and allowed to take its natural shape. Tight or springy curl patterns can make those two impressions different.
Several things influence the final result:
- Curl definition: separate, defined curls may bounce upward differently from curls that have been stretched or loosely arranged.
- Installation placement: where the crochet hair is added, and the angle at which it falls, affect the outline of the style.
- Layering and shaping: cutting or layering can change the silhouette without changing the purchased length.
- Head and body proportions: the same curls can look longer or shorter on different people.
- Styling and maintenance: wetness, product buildup and routine handling may temporarily change how the curls group together.
For a more dependable decision, show your stylist a reference photo with a similar curl texture and discuss the finished shape you want. A straight-hair photo marked “18 inches” is not a reliable prediction for 18-inch Deep Curly Crochet Hair.
When 14-inch Deep Curly Crochet Hair makes sense
Consider 14 inches if you prefer a shorter overall curly shape, want the curls to frame your face, or like a compact outline with volume. It can be a useful starting point when you are not aiming for the longest available look.
Do not assume it will form a specific bob length on every person. The final outline still depends on the braiding foundation, placement, curl spring and any shaping your stylist performs.
When 16-inch Deep Curly Crochet Hair makes sense
Choose 16 inches when you want noticeably more length than the shortest option, but still prefer a middle-ground curly look. It offers room for visible curl movement without automatically moving to the longest HHC variant.
Compare an actual Deep Curly style reference instead of judging by a straight-hair ruler. If you are torn between 14 and 16 inches, ask your stylist whether the extra listed length will help achieve your preferred face-framing shape.
When 18-inch Deep Curly Crochet Hair makes sense
Eighteen inches is worth considering when your reference look shows a more elongated curly silhouette. It can provide additional length to work with if you and your stylist plan a shaped, layered result.
Longer does not automatically mean fuller. Fullness depends on the amount of hair, how the crochet sections are distributed and how the curls are separated. Choose the length for the outline and the pack quantity for the planned coverage.
When 20-inch Deep Curly Crochet Hair makes sense
Twenty inches is HHC's longest listed Deep Curly Crochet Hair option in this product group. It is the strongest choice of the four when your goal is a distinctly longer curly style and you are comfortable with the extra end care that longer hair can require.
Before selecting it, consider clothing friction, detangling access and whether your reference look depends on a particular layered shape. Ask your stylist how they would position and maintain the longer sections.
Length and packs are two different decisions
HHC lists all four Deep Curly Crochet Hair lengths with these pack choices:
| Pack selection | Listed total weight |
|---|---|
| 1 pack | 50g |
| 2 packs | 100g |
| 3 packs | 150g |
| 4 packs | 200g |
In other words, choosing a longer length does not automatically choose more packs for you. HHC offers the pack-count options at each of 14, 16, 18 and 20 inches. The quantity you need depends on your foundation, desired coverage and curl fullness. Confirm your stylist's plan before buying; no pack count guarantees a specific full-head result.

How to choose your length in four steps
- Save two or three reference looks. Focus on Deep Curly or a close crochet curl pattern, not unrelated straight or loose-wave textures.
- Define the finished outline. Decide whether you want compact face framing, a balanced medium style or a visibly longer curly shape.
- Discuss installation and shaping. Ask your stylist how placement, curl spring, layering and the braiding foundation could affect the result.
- Choose length and quantity separately. Confirm one of HHC's four listed lengths, then use your stylist's coverage plan to select the pack count.
If you already own an HHC Deep Curly Crochet Hair sample, use it to see how the curl looks in its natural state before committing to a full installation. Avoid treating a stretched strand as a promise of where the finished style will fall.
Care considerations for longer Deep Curly Crochet styles
Whichever length you choose, handle the curl pattern gently. Start detangling at the ends rather than pulling hard from the roots, minimize friction during sleep, and use light curl-refreshing methods appropriate for the hair. The HHC product care guide describes refreshing with water and mousse and reducing frizz. Avoid heavy buildup and forcing apart knots, which can disturb the curls and the crochet attachment area.
With 18- and 20-inch options in particular, plan how you will keep the ends protected from repeated snagging on clothing. If your stylist recommends a different care routine for your specific installation, follow that guidance.
Frequently asked questions
Does 18-inch Deep Curly Crochet Hair look like 18-inch straight hair?
Not necessarily. The curl pattern can reduce visible drop, and the installation method changes how the hair falls. Compare photos of similarly defined curly styles rather than assuming the two textures will land at the same point.
Should I buy 16 or 18 inches?
Choose based on the finished shape you want. Sixteen inches is the shorter of the two choices; eighteen inches allows a longer starting length. Ask your stylist how much visible difference the curl pattern is likely to create after installation.
Does buying four packs make the style longer?
No. Pack count controls how much hair you have available, not the listed length of each pack. At HHC, 1–4 packs are offered at each Deep Curly Crochet Hair length.
Can I combine different lengths?
You can discuss a mixed-length installation with your stylist, but the product's listed variants are organized by a selected length and pack quantity. If you plan to combine lengths, verify each item in your cart rather than assuming one multi-pack option contains mixed lengths.
What's the longest Deep Curly Crochet Hair length currently listed at HHC?
For this specific product, the longest current listed length is 20 inches. Other HHC hair types may have different ranges, so always check the specific product selector.
