Knowing How to Order Your Exentsions

How to Order Hair Extensions Based on Hair Density

 

Choosing the right amount of hair extensions depends on your natural hair density and the look you’re trying to achieve. Here’s a guide to help you determine how many packs or grams of extensions you’ll need:

 

1. Thin Hair (Fine Density)

 

Thin hair requires fewer extensions to achieve natural-looking volume and length without overwhelming your natural hair.

   •   Recommended Packs: 1–2 packs (50–100 grams)

   •   Why: Fine hair can’t support too much weight, so lighter extensions are ideal for blending seamlessly.

   •   Best Options: Tape-ins, I-tips, or hand-tied wefts for a lightweight, natural look.

 

2. Medium Hair (Average Density)

 

Medium-density hair provides a good base for adding length and volume.

   •   Recommended Packs: 2–3 packs (100–150 grams)

   •   Why: Medium-density hair can hold more weight, allowing for fuller and longer extensions.

   •   Best Options: U-tips, I-tips, or machine wefts for more dramatic results.

 

3. Thick Hair (High Density)

 

Thick hair needs more extensions to match its natural fullness and achieve a balanced, blended look.

   •   Recommended Packs: 3–4 packs (150–200 grams or more)

   •   Why: The extensions need to match the volume of your natural hair for a cohesive result.

   •   Best Options: Double wefts, tape-ins, or machine wefts for maximum volume and length.

 

Additional Factors to Consider

 

   •   Desired Look:

      •   For added volume: Use fewer grams (50–100).

      •   For length and volume: Go for more grams (100–200+).

   •   Hair Length:

      •   Longer extensions (18 inches or more) may require additional packs to maintain thickness throughout the length.

   •   Type of Extensions: Different extension types (tape-ins, wefts, I-tips, etc.) come in varying gram weights per pack. Consult with your stylist for the best choice.

 

By selecting the right amount of hair extensions based on your hair density, you’ll achieve a natural, flawless finish that perfectly enhances your look! Always consult with your stylist for personalized recommendations.
