Isn’t the Answer 12 Inches?

Not quite, although that would make things a little bit simpler if you want to be able to turn on the style.

There are a few quick rules you need to know about:

  • 12 inches refers to the length of each individual hair, not how far from your crown they hang.
  • Kinky hair and curly hair will, therefore, not hang as low as hair that is completely straight.
  • The length of your hair will not depend on the color because that is something applied to each hair — it’s the shape of the hair that matters.

These little details may sound a little too exacting until you find yourself looking in the mirror, and things aren’t quite right.

You’ll notice the impact hair texture has on the length of your bob wig because these types of shorter styles are much more sensitive to an inch here and an inch there. 

Let’s go a little further so you can see exactly what we mean…

Creating Your Dream 12-Inch Straight Bob

Starting with the simplest way of measuring the length is the way we’re going to approach things.

A 12-inch bob crafted with care from the finest straight hair will hang just along your clavicle and help you frame your look in a way that really makes a difference. 

The beauty of this approach to elevating your style is that you can do it with any style of base.

Whether it’s a lace front wig or a lace closure wig, you can enrich your short-hair look with a 12-inch style that will always hang 12 inches from your crown.

You can also say exactly the same thing about our full range of Glueless 12 Inch Wigs when you’re using straight hair.

How Long Is a Kinky or Curly Bob?

A 12-inch bob with afro kinky hair or kinky curly hair is going to hang approximately 2 inches shorter than a straight bob.

There are a few things to consider when using this figure, as it is only a guide:

  • The precise change in the overall length will depend on the curl or kink pattern.
  • Curlier hair will not hang as far as hair with much subtler, shallower curls.
  • You can say exactly the same for kinky hair and wavy hair — more turns means less drop.

A difference of 2 inches will lift the bob from your clavicle and top of your shoulders to much closer to your jawline.

This is a great way of creating something of a throwback style with a touch of retro chic if that’s what you’re into.

Ideal if you want to frame your face, draw attention to your lips, and really tie your bob in with the rest of your cosmetics.
