Get the Perfect Weave Look: How Many Grams of Hair Extensions Should You Use?

When it comes to buying hair extensions, it can be a bit overwhelming trying to figure out how many grams you need for a full head. To help you make an informed decision, we’ve put together a guide to help you determine the right amount of weave hair extensions for your needs.

First, let’s start with the basics. Hair extensions are typically sold by the gram, with 100 grams being a standard package size. However, the amount of hair you need will depend on several factors, including:

I. Hair length.

 The longer the hair, the more grams you will need. For example, you may need 200-300 grams of hair for a 22-inch length, while 150-200 grams will be sufficient for a 16-inch length.

II. Hair volume.

If you have fine or thin hair, you may need less hair extensions than someone with thick hair. You want to make sure the extensions blend well with your natural hair, so having too much hair can look unnatural.

III. Desired look.

If you want a full and voluminous look, you may need more hair extensions than if you want a more natural, subtle look.

Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s dive into how to determine the exact amount of hair extensions you need. Here are the steps:

1. Measure your hair.

Measure the length of your natural hair from the crown of your head to the ends. This will give you a good starting point for determining the length of hair extensions you need.

2. Decide on the desired volume.

Do you want a full and voluminous look, or a more natural, subtle look? Keep in mind that more hair extensions will give you a more full look, while less hair extensions will give you a more natural look.

3. Consider the weft size.

 Weft size refers to the width of the extension. A full head of extensions usually requires 3-4 wefts, depending on the desired volume and the size of the weft. The larger the weft, the fewer wefts you will need.

4. Calculate the amount of hair.

Based on the length of your natural hair, the desired volume, and the weft size, you can now calculate the amount of hair extensions you need. For example, if you want a full and voluminous look and you have fine or thin hair, you may need 200-300 grams of hair extensions.

Determining how many grams of weave hair extensions you need can be a bit complicated, but by following these steps, you can make an informed decision and achieve the look you want. If you’re still unsure, consult with a hair extension specialist who can help you determine the right amount of hair extensions for your needs.
Weaves and Weft Hair Extensions are the best choices for those who are blessed with thick hair already and want a big-length transformation. As we’ve learned today, you will need at least 100g of hair for any weft method but due to the ease and speed of its application, it tends to be slightly cheaper to have done than other more intricate methods, another bonus for weave fans! The only downfall is wearing your hair up can be difficult, to combat this you can use smaller extensions at the sides, we explain how it’s done in “Combining Hair Extensions: How to Mix and Match for the Perfect Look”
