How much hair do I need?

To find the hair extensions you'll be happiest with, there are a few things to consider – including how much hair you need. Luckily, choosing right doesn't have to be complicated at all.

For you if you want more volume in your hair

Hair extensions aren't just the solution if you want longer hair – plenty of people wear extensions purely to get more volume (and a little extra oomph) in their hair.

  • More volume without extra length? 50 grams of hair is often the way to go.

50 grams of hair is often enough to give most people a little extra volume.
If the hair you receive is longer than your own, you can always have it trimmed to match your own length.

For you with thin hair, dreaming of more length & volume

If your own hair is on the thinner side, 100 grams of hair will typically be enough to give you extra length and a naturally full result.

  • Extra length & volume in thin hair? Roughly 100 grams is the way to go.

If your own hair is short and cut very bluntly, though, we recommend going up to 150 grams. It makes the transition from your own hair to your extensions more natural, giving you a beautiful, natural result.

For you with medium hair, dreaming of more length & volume

Is your hair right between thin and thick? Depending on your hairstyle, we generally recommend up to 150 grams of hair.

  • Extra length & volume in medium hair? 100-150 grams is the way to go.

Have a shorter, razor-sharp cut? 200 grams might be the way to go – it takes a little more hair to ensure a natural transition from a bluntly cut hairstyle to your hair extensions.

For you with thick hair, dreaming of more length & volume

If your hair is thick or very thick, we usually say it takes up to 200 grams of hair to get the natural result you're dreaming of.

  • Extra length in thick hair? 150-200 grams is the way to go.

If you have a shorter hairstyle cut completely blunt, it takes a little more hair. Here we recommend around 200-250 grams of hair. That way you know your own hair will blend naturally with your hair extensions.
