1. Just Adding Thickness (No Extra Length)
If you love your current length but want fuller, thicker hair, here’s how many packs you’ll need based on your natural hair density:
| Hair Length | Fine Hair | Medium Hair | Thick Hair |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10” – 12” | 1-2 packs | 2 packs | 2-3 packs |
| 14” – 18” | 1 pack | 1-2 packs | 2 packs |
| 20” – 24” | 1-2 packs | 2 packs | 2-3 packs |
- Short extensions (10”-12”) are lighter (30g), so you’ll need more for fullness.
- Medium extensions (14”-18″) are denser (50g), so fewer packs can still add volume.
- Long extensions (20”-24″) are denser (50g), so fewer packs can still add volume. The same weight, the longer the hair, the thinner the hair
Pro Tip: If your hair is very fine, lean toward the higher end of the range for a seamless blend.
2. Adding Both Length AND Thickness
If you’re going for longer + fuller hair, you’ll need more tape-ins to maintain density. Here’s the magic number:
| Hair Length | Fine Hair | Medium Hair | Thick Hair |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10” – 12” | 2 packs | 2-3 packs | 3 packs |
| 14” – 18” | 1-2 packs | 3 packs | 3-4 packs |
| 20” – 24” | 2-3 packs | 3-4 packs | 4-5 packs |
Why More Packs?
Longer hair naturally spreads out the same amount of hair, making extensions appear thinner. More packs = more density + better blending.
Pro Tip: If you’re going super long (20”+), consider layering—use a mix of lengths for a natural, cascading effect.
3. What If You’re In Between?
Not sure if you’re fine, medium, or thick-haired? Try the Ponytail Test:
- Pull your hair into a ponytail.
- Measure the circumference:
- < 2 inches = Fine
- 2-3 inches = Medium
- > 3 inches = Thick
Still unsure? Start with the largest quantities first—you can return the rest!
