How Many Grams Of Hair Extensions Do I Need?

Picking the right amount of hair extensions, for your unique hair type and individual hair goals.

There are many different reasons that women look for hair extensions. No two heads are the same. Each installation calls for a thorough consult with your hairstylist to decide what amount of hair (grams / packs) is correct for your individual hair type and unique hair goals.

While the obvious reason women look to hair extensions is to add length, many women turn to hair extensions for other reasons. Some women are not looking to add length but instead dream of adding volume to thinning or damaged hair.

There are many reasons that women look to add volume to their hair. Some spend many years growing out their hair, spend hundreds of dollars on hair pills or hair care fads. In the end, they realize they will never be able to grow out the thick long locks they dream of. The reality is that your hair thickness is largely determined by genetics, not diet or hair care.

For women looking to add volume, 50 Grams of hair would be suitable.

Another reason women use extensions to add volume is to fill in the gaps left from chemical damage or thinning hair. 50 grams of hair can do the trick to breathe life back into your hair after

1) Chemical Damage - over processing from hair colouring.

2) Heat Damage - from over use of hot tools like straighteners or curling irons

3) Thinning Hair - natural result of ageing

When looking to add length with hair extensions individual hair types and lifestyle choices determine the amount most suitable for you. If you have thin hair 100 grams / 2 packs, would be a suitable amount to add length. This will create a natural and low maintenance look.

However, if you are looking to add length and volume, 150 grams / 3 packs is more suitable. This amount of hair can still look very natural, but will add more volume to your length so you're "insta ready" everyday.

You should discuss in detail with your stylist, and use pictures when required to clarify your expectations. Keep in mind that the photos you see on social media, or the thick locks you see on celebrities often use much more then 150 grams of hair. Your hair stylist will be able to direct you to the correct amount of hair based on your expectations.

Each hair type is completely unique. Prior to deciding on the amount of hair extensions to purchase, it is important that you discuss in detail your hair goals with a qualified hair stylist. Women who have very thick natural hair, will require more than 150 grams of hair to add length.
