how many ounces of hair do you guys use to do a full install of protac in 18"?

Thanks so much!

I presently have 8/9 oz installed in my head.

Holy Moly sassygirl....8/9 ounces? WOW! Thats alot of hair!!  Would love to see pictures!

smshands for 18 inch hair I'd say around 4-6 ounces is average.

Funny! My husband and older son have melon heads too!  You guys are a trip!

Thanks.  I always worry about using too much or not enough.

Melon heads...thats too funny!

I always like to have 8 ounces on hand for an install. Different brands/textures can vary too. Sometimes it just depends on how much volume the particular brand/texture has. For example I think the Bohyme silky straight is very flat without alot of volume (very straight) so I always feel I need to use more hair with this super straight/flat texture to get the volume I like. Compared to a wavy texture or something, 8 ounces might be way more than enough.

When she goes to the hairdressers they hate doing her hair as it takes them nearly one and half hours to dry her hair and thats without wearing hair extensions.  When she leaves it to air dry it takes a full day to dry on its own.  With hair extensions thats a full story book I can tell you. 

One particular time we went on holiday abroad and she had her 15th birthday while we was away and she asked could she have her hair washed and dryed at the hairdressers.  She booked an appointment and it took him two hours just to dry her hair. He kept shouting out in the hairdressers 'big hair' big hair', Jen my daughter said that she had never been so embarassed as he had the customers looking at how thick her hair was as in all the time he had been hairdressing he had never come across anyones hair as thick.

Sassy - Ive found that a client with thick hair or chunky layers needs alot of extra hair like you say (especially using bss hair or single drawn hair)  Do you use the same amount with double drawn or bohyme hair? I feel with these hairs it blends more easier without having to use as much.

So, I guess you are saying protac is ok as long as you only use about 6 oz. max. Right?

That's hilarious, I'm surprised you didn't break your neck either lol or got dragged to the floor with the weight of your hair, the plug hole sucked the hair down and strangled you x

smshands...my first install with protac was 8 ounces...last 6 weeks. This round of protac is 7 ounces.

Amm that must have been a real bummer to spend 3 hours installing to have them slip right out! I know I was bumming when I installed the protac/Pro-10 hair and had to take it out the next day!
