I'm trying to figure out how much PH to order (I know this is like the 3rd post in the past couple of days about this).  I want the hair around bra length, and I'm having them pinchbraided in, so I guess I could cut the PH in half.  I don't wear my hair really thick, it's probably what would be considered average density.  I think when I used hh it was about a bag and a half maybe of 18" hair.  So how much would i need?  Thanks so much!

yeah with 18 inch and pinch braids 5 is definitely safein my opinion.

Whoa...that sounds like a ton of hair to me. Are you going all the way up to your part with visible braids or doing more of a 3/4 head? I certainly don't think you'd need more than 4 bags, probably more like 3.

With pinchbraids, I would fold the hair over in the braid, doubling the length and creating layers, if desired, rather than actually cutting it.

Thanks guys!  I'm not doing visible braids, they will start at about 2" down from the crown, and about 1" from the hairline.  You're right Jenny, I guess doubling them makes a lot more sense than cutting them.  Like I mentioned, I don't wear my hair very thick, it ends up looking more like the thickness of the average person's head of hair, which is multiple steps up from my thin horribleness!
