some hair comes in different weights or thicknesses per tip, so I guess that would be a factor. I think the average size pretip is about equal to what some companies that offer different sizes would call a medium thickness.

The Korean hair that I used for so long was a Medium tip thickness with 200 tips per 4 oz. So I would have to use 300 to install 6 oz. but could never fit quite that many on my head. I averaged about 250...or a little more so not quite 6 oz.

Now with this Amm hair on the other hand...Ill probably only get about 150 pretips on my head and that will be 6 ounces.

I didn't think my hair was that thin but seeing I can only fit about 175 on my head I guess the hair is thin or my head small I would not be able to fit 250 at all!

Hi Bridget!

150 min.

200-250 averge

300+ mega mane {if they want every single strand of hair covered}

The most I ever put in were 500 strands- whew!  She had a boy's hair cut.  Man, it took me 23 hours to finish her whole head!!!

I second that!  For the average head, 200-300 is about right if they are adding length and thickness.  If they just want thickness, then I usually use between 100-150 strands.

Acreage? LOL!

Most pretips I've come across have been about 30 tips to an oz.

200-300 sounds about right for the average acreage of a normal head.

Ok, so it was kind of a dumb question.

A rough idea of how many individual strands are needed for a full head?

I never count how many I do, could be roughly 200-300 per head I would think depending on acreage, thickness, style, etc...
I usually use about 1 1/2-2 1/4lb packages per head, but I don't know how that translates into this.

Thanks!
