How Many Hair Bundles Do I Need?

How Many Hair Bundles Do I Need?

The answer depends on several factors, including the length, texture, desired volume, and whether you're using a closure or frontal.

Choosing the correct number of bundles is important to achieve a full, balanced look without unnecessary bulk or extra cost.

Hair Length

As hair gets longer, the wefts become shorter because the same amount of hair is distributed across a greater length.

This means longer lengths often require more bundles to maintain fullness from root to tip.

Desired Fullness

Some clients prefer a natural everyday look, while others want maximum volume and glamour. The fuller the style, the more hair bundles you will need.

 

How Many Bundles Do You Need?

Sew-In

  • 10"to 14": 2 bundles
  • 16" to 20": 2 to 3 bundles
  • 22" and longer: 3 to 4 bundles

 

Closure Wig

A lace closure (like a 4x4 or 5x5) covers a small square portion at the top/front of the head, meaning the bundles make up the rest of the unit. 

  • 10"to 14": 2 bundles + closure
  • 16" to 20": 2 to 3 bundles + closure
  • 22" and longer: 3 to 4 bundles + closure

 

Frontal Wig

A lace frontal runs ear-to-ear, covering the entire front hairline. Because the frontal takes up more space than a closure, you generally need fewer bundles.

  • 10"to 16": 2 bundles + frontal
  • 18" to 22": 2 to 3 bundles + frontal
  • 24" and longer: 3 bundles + frontal

     

    Please note that these are general guidelines. The ideal number of bundles may vary depending on the hair texture, density, styling preferences, and desired finished look.
