A woman’s hair is the first most noticeable part of her beauty. This is not just because many of us believe that appearances are important, but also because our hair represents our personality, thoughts, and beliefs. Fortunately, we all know how important your hair is to you.
One of the most frequently asked question a hairstylist will receive when a client books a sew-in appointment is: “How many bundles of weave do I need?”
The best answer is “Depends on how full you want it.”
A few factors go into choosing how many hair bundles of weave you’ll need for your desired look. The key phrase: it’s your desired look.
What Factors You Should Think About?
Length: the longer the length of your bundles, the more hair your generally going to need. So we suggest more bundles for a fuller look from root to tip.
Texture: If you want silky straight bundles and your planning on getting a bob, two bundles, and closure are more than enough. If you want extremely thick hair, you would need 3-4 bundles but if looking for extreme fullness an extra bundle would get the job done.
Size Of Your Head: If your head is bigger or smaller you’ll need to adjust the number of bundles you purchase to accommodate that. In the US, the average size of a woman’s head is 22.5″.
Frontal Or Closure: Closures are usually 4 x 4 inches, You will need to use a minimum of two bundles with your closure. Because the frontal will cover a large portion of your head you will generally only need 2 – 3 bundles depending on the style and length.
So, how many bundles for full sew in with closure?
The answer to this question varies based on the cut, hairstyle, length and the shape and size of your head. But as I stated above, the longer the hair, the shorter the weft, so keep that in mind.
Next, let’s talk about this question of “how many bundles do you need with a closure or frontal “.Hope it can give you some guidance when you buy the best hair bundles you want.
How Many Bundles Do You Need With A Closure?
First, let’s talking about this.
Usually, you can get three bundles for your primary sew in, that’s typically the magic number for your average sew in.
With three bundles anywhere from 8 inch to 18 inch; your weave will be full, flowy, and glamorous. If your sew-in is starting with lengths over 20 inch prime; you might want to consider four bundles. You can see the picture below.
A few things to factor are the size of your head (seriously), how full you would like your hair (deep wave styles generally have a lot of hair as an example), are you using a closure/frontal, and the overall type of hairstyle you are going for.
The type of hair affects how many bundles you need to achieve your desired natural hairstyle. Straight hair is usually less dense than curly hair, so you’ll need more bundles for a fuller look.
Be sure to consider the length you want as well. As a general rule the longer the length of your hair extensions the more bundles you will need because bundles of less hair contain a shorter weft, also known as the track.
What Is A Closure?
