Hair Quantity Guide

 

Introduction

 

Hair extensions can be transformative, adding length, volume, and even color to your natural hair. However, selecting the right quantity is crucial to achieving the desired result. Whether you're aiming for to increase volume, length or thickness, the factors that influence your choice is essential.

 

Understanding Hair Extension Weight

 

Our hair extensions are measured in grams, each pack of hair containing 50 grams. This weight refers to the amount of hair included in each set of extensions. It's important to grasp your natural hair's thickness and length to select the most suitable weight for your needs. The only exclusion to this is tape hair extensions which are measured in pieces. In this case, 20pcs of hair is equivalent to 50g of hair.

 

Factors to Consider When Choosing the Right Quantity

 

A. Hair Thickness

 

·      Thin Hair: If your natural hair is thin, opting for a lighter weight like 50g can provide the volume you desire without overwhelming your strands. Overloading your thin hair with extensions can cause pain and discomfort.

·      Medium Hair: For medium-thickness hair, a 100g set could be what you’re looking for, offering volume without appearing too bulky.

·      Thick Hair: Those with thick hair may require a heavier set, such as 150g, to blend seamlessly and achieve the desired fullness.

 

B. Desired Look

 

Consider the outcome you're aiming for:

 

·      Natural Volume and Length: If you prefer a subtle enhancement, a set like 50g or 100g may suffice.

·      Dramatic Volume and Length: For a more dramatic transformation with significant volume and length, a heavier set like 150g could be more suitable.

 

C. Length of Natural Hair

 

The length of your natural hair also plays a role:

 

·      Short Hair: If your hair is short, you may need a heavier set to ensure the extensions blend seamlessly and provide the desired length.

·      Medium-Length Hair: Medium-length hair offers more flexibility, making sets ranging from 100g to 150g viable options.

·      Long Hair: Those with long hair may find that a lighter set, such as 50g or 100g, complements their existing length without overpowering it.

 

Guide to Different Quantities

 

50 grams (1 quantity)

 

Golden Lush provides hair extensions in quantities of 50 grams (some exclusions may apply). They are made with 100% real human hair and it was designed to be a “booster” for those who already have hair extensions or, for those who only want a minor touch up.

 

100 grams (2 quantities)

 

We generally recommend at least 100 grams of hair extensions for those looking for a full head of extensions. They are suitable for most women and the most versatile amount of hair. Whether you want: thickness, length, colour or volume, the 100g hair extensions can do it all!

 

150 grams (3 quantities)

 

Extensions which are between 150 grams are super thick; perfect for adding a boost of volume and length. Women with very thick hair may require this sort of weight to balance out their hair, or some women just prefer a dramatic hair transformation.

 

200+ grams (4+ quantities)

 

Extensions weighing 200 grams or more per pack are extremely thick, especially for women with thick or coarse hair. We generally don’t recommend installing this much hair extensions since the weight can cause discomfort and in some cases, it could cause damage. It is especially bad for people with thin hair since the natural hair to extensions ratio is too off balance causing tugging and increased tension which will ultimately damage your hair.
