I am only asking for an estimate... I looked on ebonyline and saw their hand tied Silkky Boyme was sold in 4 oz.amounts. Application: strand by strand on a full head. Thanks
Maybe I should be more specific... Will 4oz of hair be enough for a full application?

I'm not the best at ounce estimates, so I'll leave it to someone else, but it will depend somewhat on the length you're ordering. Do you know what length you want? :)

For 18" you should have enough. I use 4 ounces (and sometimes a little less) of hair on each of my clients. The only time I ever need more is if someone's hair is very short or thick because it takes a lot more hair to blend everything together

well it also depends how long it is. if the hair is say - 50" long then 4oz might not be long enough, but say if its 18" long then it should be fine.
everyones diffrent though. I have short hair (horrible bleaching disaster) and I use a pack and a half of 2oz each 18" synthetic hair.

right now the cheap crap lmao.
I usually only use this hair on my manaquin head for practice, but after my bleach disaster, I needed something asap while I waited for my plastikhaar order to come in.
this is just basic sally brand silky straight #613.
Its ok for now if I brush it (A lot) but I wouldnt recommend it for longer then 2 weeks.
I used a pack and a half - cost was $6.99 per pack. haha. and the streaks were cut from a cheapie wig I found at the dollar store.
like I said, just temporary!

I like the streaks. They look really cool.
What happened with the bleach, if you don't mind me asking?
