If I need a 30" weft of 18" length hair, does anyone know how many ounces I need? I feel like a math teacher testing my students.  ------------- |

I think it also depends on which kind of hair you're buying. Some brands have more or less hair to the weft.
If it is any help, for my Elite Remy/Wagman hair at 14", 4 ounces = 78 inches. I'm guessing you'd need somewhere near 2 ounces, maybe a little less??? ------------- Here's to the end of my BAD HAIR LIFE! |

I used to use 18 inch hair and most of the 4 ounce wefts that I purchased were between 46 and 60 inches in width. ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

What to consider when ordering hair (human or synthetic) Hair comes in a pack weighing approx. 1/4 pound (or 4 ounces) For a full head of hair extensions to be installed, approx. 8 0z of hair is used (based on hair length of 16-20 inches) Two packs of hair at 1/4 pound would be a total of 8 ounces of hair or ½ pound needed 1KG=2.2 pounds 16 ounces of hair is one pound of hair 4 ounces of hair is 1/4 pound of hair 8 ounces of hair is ½ pound of hair How many inches in width would be equal to a pack of hair? (1/4 pound or 4ounces) One inch = 2.54 cm 12 inches = 1 ft 36 inches = 1 yd 3 ft = 1 yd
I just measured a weft 30 inches wide (this is folded over the way it is supplied) 18" and it weighed in at 100g which equals 3.5 oz.
