How many grams of hair do you need?
Too little hair is what makes extensions look thin at the ends. A simple guide to choosing how many grams to order.
Draft copy — final text coming soon.
The most common reason extensions look obvious isn’t the bonds — it’s too little hair. When the extensions are fuller than your own hair at the ends, the difference shows.
Three things decide how much you need:
- The length you want. Longer hair needs more grams to stay full to the ends.
- Your own hair. Fine hair needs less to blend; thick hair needs more to keep up.
- Your goal. Adding volume takes less than adding both length and volume.
A starting point
For a full install aiming for length and volume on medium hair:
| Length | Starting weight |
|---|---|
| 18″ | 100 g |
| 20–22″ | 150 g |
| 24–26″ | 200 g |
| 28″ | 250 g |
Fine hair usually needs about 50 g less; thick hair about 50 g more. If you only want volume, not extra length, take about 50 g less.
