QuoteReplyTopic: Straight hair vs. curly hair (extensions) Posted: March 27 2006 at 1:13pm
Hey everyone!
Just a quick question!
I am getting ready to do my next install where I will use shrink*** and be pretipping my own hair. I have done this before but have only ever used straight human hair. For this time around I purchased hair with an italian wave to it as I like to have my hair curled slightly.
I have very thin hair naturally. When I have done my past installs I never get a full 200 strands installed. I would say closer to 150, give or take a little.
I guess my main question here is do you think I may actually need a little less this time around being as I am using curlier hair which has 2 to 3 times the volume of the straight hair that I generally use?
I have purchased 4 oz. of wefted hair that I will pretip. I am hoping that will be enough!

In general, you will need less hair when using hair with a wave or curl texture. What length are the extensions? I have found that even hair with just some body wave to it covers better. The most strands I was ever able to get on my head was 170 (with shrinkies and microrings)...and that was really packing them on! I haven't done a strand install for awhile but I am wearing less than 4 oz. of body wave hair that has a fine, soft texture and very little wave with protac tape and the extension hair is really thick, but then I don't wear the hair longer than 14" or so.
It's always great to have more hair than you need, but depending on the length of the hair, 4 oz. should be enough.

Hey thanks! Yeah I was thinking that this hair should be enough since it is wavy and I am used to the straight hair.
My natural hair is very thin so I have to watch how much I cram into it, lol!
The hair is 18 inches that I bought but it looks more like 14 inches. I guess they meant that it is 18 inches if straightened because it certainly isn't more then 15 inches curled!!
