How Many Hair Bundles Do I Need for a Full Sew-In?Updated 5 hours ago

The number of hair bundles you’ll need depends on three key factors:

  1. The texture of the hair,

  2. The length you’re ordering, and

  3. Your desired fullness and natural hair density.

Extra Considerations for Custom Looks

  • Adding a closure or frontal?
    Most customers still purchase 2–3 bundles for a natural look with a 5x5 closure or 13x4 frontal.

  • Using layered lengths (e.g., 18”, 20”, 22”)?
    You may get more movement and fullness with 3–4 bundles.
