How many bundles of hair do you Really need for a full head weave?
How many bundles of hair, do you need for a full head weave?
As you sit and ponder these questions in your head before your purchase:
- “Do I need 3 ounces of hair for a sew in ? 4 oz ? 6oz ? or maybe I need 8oz” ?
- “Does the amount of hair go per pack or bundle” ?
- “How much hair comes in one bundle” ?
- “What hair type do I need for a voluminous look” ?
- “What do your personally consider a full sew in” ?
- “Is all your hair braided up, even your leave-out” ?
- “Do you have your edges out” ?
- “What about the crown” ?
- “Do I need a Lace Frontal or a Silk Base Closure or not” ?
“So do you need 3 ounces of hair for a sew in ? 4 oz ? 6oz ? or maybe you require 8oz” .
Many of our customers ask these questions all the time when placing an order for hair extensions. There are many factors that go into answering these questions. Also, while you ponder your options in how many ounces you need, please note that 1 bundle = 4 oz = 113.4g
First – Make sure you are aware if your bundles are a full 4 ounces. (1 pack of hair/ 1 bundle) will traditionally be 4 ounces.
The bundles at our online store are double weft , so you will not need to go over board with 4-5 bundles unless you are styling two different individuals.
Second – Double wefts are better quality and they give both body and securely sealed bundles. These types last exceptionally longer.
Bundle hair length, hair style, head shape/size, hair texture and hair fullness all play a major role in the decision making. (See hair length chart below)
Choosing Bundles with Closures
Keeping in mind that curly and wavy hair textures will fall at a different length, from a straight hair texture ( as depicted above), so going forward with your desired hair texture by length you should refer to the chart above and utilize a measuring tape.
Have the measuring tape fall from your crown to the desired length then proceed to selecting your bundles.
For more clarity when purchasing your bundles with either a 360 Lace frontal- You will need 2 bundles that should equal to 100 grams each bundle. It doesn’t matter the hair texture, two bundles is more than enough. As the 360 Lace frontal is an entire circumferential closure hair piece.
When choosing your bundles with a 13×4 , 13×6 inches Lace frontal. Base your decision on the space left from your crown to nape ( typically 2-3 bundles).
When purchasing your bundles with a standard 4×4 inches or 3.5×4 inches lace closure ( whether silk top lace closure or standard all lace closure)
Always going back to making sure your bundles are 100 grams each- You can purchase 2-4 bundles as these types of closures are smaller pieces placed strategically to close off exposing wefts either at the front of the hairline , towards the side , or even at the crown.
Seeking a well versed, educated not to mention licensed professional hairstylist will always guide you towards your ultimate styling goals.
Bundle Machine Wefts Hair Lengths
Virgin hair bundles are measured by grams or ounces. Be aware that hair lengths ranging from 8 inches – 14 inches will have more horizontal length on the weft, thus you’ll need less bundles or packs of hair to achieve your styling option for a full head. The longer hair lengths in the ranges of 16 inches – 30 inches carry more weight with their vertical length, In other words, the longer the hair length your styling option desired, the more bundles you need. My most popular sales come on the form of bundle kits where you choose the different length options and your choice of Lace Frontal and Top Closure if your desired styling option require those hair pieces.
Hair Texture Choice
For the penny pinching savvy shoppers, hair texture decision choice is a option to consider. You can get away with less wefts by choosing these textures tight kinky curly, romance curls, the newest trend “funmi curls”, body curls which can be teased after styling to achieve a beautiful and bouncy look or kinky textures. The body/density of these curl patterns will make your hair look full, even with less wefts sewn in.

I’d like to know how many bundles of kinky afro hair (romantic Angel brand) I’ll need to do just a high top in micro loc extensions? My hair is fine to medium thickness and I’m looking to get around 18″
Hey
Lenny!
You will need about 3-4 bundles ! I would suggest getting in different lengths to look more natural (14,16 and 18 inches).

How many bundles would i need for a full head using Brazilian body wave 20″
Hey Debbie
We’d like to recommend 3 bundles of 20 inches Brazilian Body Wave. Even greater incentive by selecting our layered bundle hair , which are 3 bundles of virgin hair in three different lengths (eg. 18″, 20″,22″) to achieve an amazing tapered and full body look to any style.
I ordered a 360 frontal how many bundles do I need to go with that to make a full head of weave
Shantee , Depending on the hair texture( kinky curly , deep wave, loose wave) we recommend 2-3 bundles of hair. As well keep in mind the hair density of your 360 lace frontal if higher than 130% density (thickness) you want your installation to look natural and realistic, so keep your weft/bundles between 2-3 bundles. If you want full look the go with 3-4 bundles.
Hi,
I am having 18,20,22 curly deep wave hair, I want a 360 lace frontal but what length do I buy?
I was thinking 16inch but If it goes around the head would it match the 22 inch bundle in length at the back? I want a nice layerd look.
Sorry a little confused with this.
Thanks
Hey Amanda,
Since you are doing layers (different lengths), the option I would suggest is either an 18 or 20 inches 360 Lace Frontal.
How many bundles do I need for a think 14in blunt cut bob
If you have a small head (21-21.5″ circumference) you will only need two bundles. Check out our in-stock virgin human hair bundles
Hi I want to make a full lace wig about 20-22 inches long. I would like to density to be at least 150%. How many bundles will I need?
Alex
For 150% density you must always look at the grams per bundle as well the hair textures (kinky curly , deep curly etc). Curly wefts requires 3 bundles at 100-110grams. Straight textures requires just about the same. But when choosing the wefts/ bundles for heavy density you should purchase wefts equal 115-120grams per bundle.
Will 360 frontal fit a big head? Does it has a size option?
Hey Theresa
It doesn’t matter if you have a big head. But you can always have a custom 360 lace frontal purchase made here
I have 100g of Peruvian hair, will it fit my head or I need to buy another one. Please help
Welma,
If you plan on leaving some of your own hair out then 100g weft will do for that styling option. However if you intend on having your entire head weaved, you will need 2-3 bundles. Hope this was helpful..
I have 3 bundles of Brazilian loose wave in 12,14,14 and a side part closure. How many bundles will I need?
Ashley, If you already have the 3 bundles of hair you are in great shape, all you need to do now is go ahead and style you will see from those 3 bundles you already have how much you will require to do your entire head, in the future. Especially with a side part closure. #teamlacefrenzywigs
Hello..
I was wondering how many bundles would I need for a curly look. Im going to be using the Malaysian Deep Wave in 18’20’2×22’so a total of four bundles…Will this be a full look?
Hey La Tasha
If you purchased 100g per weft, you will achieve that “full look”. Always factor in the grams per bundle/pack when purchasing your wefts for thickness. Hope this was helpful.
Hello..
I want a full head..Im using Malaysian Deep Wave..how many bundles would I need..I got 4 bundles in inches 18′,20′,2×22’will that be enough?
You have more than enough bundles ,after installing you may not need all four bundles!
Hi, how many bundles do I need for a full head of curly hair
Hi, It really depends on the style you are going for. With curly hair you may only need 2- 3 bundles(pack) of hair and always try styling with a lace frontal , 360 band lace frontal or silk base top closure piece so you will have more versatility with your hair style. Hope this was helpful ! Cheers
How many bundles would I need if I want a 24in
Christi
You will need anywhere from 3-4 Bundles of hair at that length. Happy shopping!
I plan on getting a Malaysian body wave 360 frontal, and I was wondering how many bundles I would need.
Hi Shabria
For your 360 Lace Frontal purchase, I suggest 2 bundles (100-110g per bundle) will be ideal. Each weft bundle should be double weft for durability, body and longevity of your bundles. Hope this was helpful.
I have an 14inch and 20 inch wet and wavy bundle with a closure. Will that be enough for a full head. Although the lengths are way off.
Hey
The bundles you currently have might make your style look very uneven. Might I suggest getting a 16 and 18 inches with a closure at about 14 inches. Always keep your closures and wefts 2 inches apart in length (eg: 14″, 16″, 18″, 20″). You can also check out our closures w/ bundle kits currently in-stock and ready to ship to your door in 3-4 business days (depending on location)
I have 3 bundles of Brazilian loose wave with ( 12,14,16,& 18 ) inches . I was wondering how many bundles do i need ?
Samyah
If you are leaving some natural hair out you will only need 3 bundle/ 3 packs of hair. But you listed four different lengths (12,14,16 & 18). With that being said, it’s also great to have an extra bundle when you need to do over your weave installation.
I’m getting a sew in and the length is 16 18 and 20 a regular front part I’m look for natrual but still full how many bundles do I need
Hi Vera,
First your bundles should equal to 100g each. When having some of your natural hair out either in the front or a stylish side part, you will need approximately 3 bundles. Hope this was helpful !
hello , I was wondering how many bundles would I need Body Wave 18″ ? & should get each bundle a different length or all 18″ ?
Hey CeeCee, You can always go with the same length ( 18 inches) or get them in layered bundles. If you will have some of your natural hair out. We suggest 3 bundles if you go with a closure| Lace Frontal | 360 Band Lace Frontal you can go with 2-3 bundles. It’s your style always go with what makes you happy.
Hello i was wondering will a 16′ and 18′ be enough for a side part sew-in?
Hi Yanni,
It depends on the grams per bundle- always make sure that you’re getting at least 100g per bundle so you can achieve a full looking style with your bundles.
Would 3 bundles of 24 inches plus a 20 inch frontal be enough? Thank you 🙂
Hey Destiny,
You have a good amount of bundles,although your frontal is a bit short. You may end up cutting one or two of your bundles to achieve a desired “layered style”. It’s always best to have your closure and or frontal at least 2 inches different from your bundles (for example your bundles can be 22, 24, 26 inches and your closure and frontal can be 20 or 22 inches). Hope this was helpful. 🙂
Hello! I’m in the process of trying to decide if I need 2 or 3 bundles of brazilian natural wave if I’m getting a lace closure as well. I was going to buy 16, 18 & 20 in with the closure being 14 in. but I also have an undercut, so I didn’t know if that would mean I would need 2 bundles (18 & 20) and the closure (16). I want a full but not too full look. This is my first sew-in and i’m so unsure!
Tejah,
Keep in mind curly hair will give a full look at shorter lengths (12-16 inches). So based on what you want guessing you will need 3-4 pieces, ( closure + bundles). You should have no worries once you’ve decided on the hair texture( curly , wavy etc). First decide on the texture then go from there.
Will a 20inch,22,and 1 24inch give me a full sew in?
Earlane,
Yes! you can achieve your desired style with those lengths.
Hi….would 2 bundles be enough with a frontal in the kinky curly hair..18″ 20″ with a 14″ closure?? I dont want it too thick neither do I want it thin..
Abi,
If you frontal is 14″ it may look choppy with 18 and 20 inches bundles so try and get a 16″ frontal. Best of Luck
Hi I have 1@22″ and 2@24″ is that enough for a full head? If not what extra should I get
Hey Danielle,
If you are leaving out some of your natural hair, those bundles will work. if not the best suggestion is getting either a lace frontal or silk base closure in 20 inches. Best of Luck
Can I achieve a nice blunt Bob using 12inch hair?
Yes, YOU CAN ! Go with 2 bundles/packs of 100g hair.
If I’m getting a 360 frontal that is 14′ what should the lengths of my three bundles be? I would like to achieve nice long full straight hair.
Jenna,
You will need to only get your bundles in the following lengths (16, 18, 20 inches) if you’re going with three bundles if you’re going with two bundles only 14 and 16 inches will do. See our in-stock pieces here 360 Frontal with Bundles
i will to know if kinky curly hair in 14 and 16 inch can make a full head for a middle part with a leave out?
Niks,
Yes it’s more than enough bundles with that hair texture. Best of luck !
Hi i have 3 bundles 50g though wat style would perfectly fit
Hey Susan,
If each bundle is 50g you are limited to the styling. But you might be able to get away with just sewing the wefts from crown to nape with “leave out” of your natural hair.
But your bundles should equal to at least 100grams to get a decent full head of weave style.
Also if the hair is curly enough you might it might just work. As curly texture hair will look fuller if the hair lengths are between 10-14 inches.
Give us an update on how those bundles work out.

I have 3 bundles of 16′ 18′ and 20′ of Brazilian straight. I’m thinking about buying a 360 frontal which would be the best size to buy the 14′ or 18′?
Hey Nicole,
Our best suggestion to purchasing your 360 Frontal piece in addition to the bundles you already have, is to go with 14 inches. So your pieces won’t appear choppy in length. Rule of thumb “ always go two inches from the shortest bundle of hair you plan to purchase or already have for your styling option.(eg : 14,16,18 inches bundles – you would only require 12 inches or a 14 inches closure , or 360 frontal piece).

I have a 20,22,24 and a 18 inch closure , will that be enough for a full head ?
Hey Jodocie,
Sounds like you are on track with the right amount of hair. You may not need the third bundle of hair, if you wefts equal 100 grams per bundle. So best of luck with your pursuits.
Well, 2x 100 grams wefts will be good enough. Best of luck!
im getting a 360 closure that is 18 inches maybe and 20,22,24” of bundles. i’m 4’11 and love long hair and i want it to be just above my toosh lmao, would that be perfect? or 22,24,26” with 20” 360? would 3 bundles be full? i also love full hair and to not have a part but let it flow. thank u
Hey Kate!
For your height I think the best lengths should be purchased is 20 or 22 inches (360 Frontal) 22, 24, 26 inches for the bundles. Happy shopping
I have three bundles of 300g double drawn hair, 20inches each with 16inches closure. Will it be extra full. I love full hair.
Yes, it will give you the volume you need with your hairstyle.
