Know your weft
A weft is where virgin hair is hand tied or machine tied. With shorter hair,
wefts are fuller. With longer hair, they’re lighter. Why? You’re not being
cheated, rest assured.
Most times 2 bundles are needed for a complete look, amplifying the sense of
volume. The whole idea of getting a weave is to add volume and to match the
client’s own hair texture and colour.
14’’ 16’’ 18’’ = 2 x bundles
20’’ 22’’ 24’’ 26’’ = 2 to 3 x bundles
How much hair do you need for a partial weave?
The distance between your tracks plays a vital role in the amount of bundles
you will need. Depending on how much you leave out on the top (and around the
perimeter) of your head, 2 bundles should be more than enough.
There really is no such thing is enough hair. Here’s a visual references of
length sizes.
Hair that is imported is priced according
to weight. This is customary when importing and ordering hair because it’s how
suppliers abroad make the hair. The specifications (of a single bundle) are
always 100 grams, irrespective of length unless a prior agreement is made to
customize the weight to other specification. What this means is that it doesn’t
matter if you’re buying a 22’’ or 10’’ they weigh the same. But because the
22’’ is longer, there’s a change in the amount of hair on the weft.
So the longer you want your hair, the more
bundles you need to buy for a fuller look. Easy peasy.
How many bundles you need for a full
install
The general rule of thumb is: the shorter
the hair bundle the more volume you get. A 12” will have far more volume than
an 18” bundle of human hair.
With 12” and less, 1 bundle can be more
than sufficient – because, this length has plenty volume on the weft. Anything
from 14”, it is best to apply 2 bundles. Anything from 20” and up, it’s not
unusual to apply 3 bundles of human hair.
Amazon Customer Reviews:
Hair was awesome I used three out of the 4 bundles I purchased.I also colored the ends blonde. For a fuller look I would use all 4 bundles.
