How Many I-Tips Do I Need for a Full Install?Updated 16 hours ago
How Many I-Tip Extensions Do You Really Need?
The number of I-Tips you’ll need depends on three key factors:
Your natural hair density
The texture and type of I-Tips you're installing
Your desired volume or styling outcome
At SL Raw Virgin Hair, all I-Tips are sold in 50-piece bundles. Each strand weighs approximately 0.7g, and most full installs will require 150–200 strands, depending on density and end goal.
Recommended I-Tip Quantities by Hair Type
Most I-Tips from SL Raw Virgin Hair follow this density-based guide:
Hair Type | Installation Goal | Recommended Quantity | Bundle Count |
---|---|---|---|
Fine Hair | Natural volume | 100–150 strands | 2–3 bundles |
Medium Hair | Full look | 150–200 strands | 3–4 bundles |
Coarse Hair | Maximum fullness | 200–250+ strands | 4–5+ bundles |

Recommend Quantities for Seamless I-Tips
Because Seamless I-Tips are finer and less dense, they require more bundles for a similar look. These straight, European-texture I-Tips are best for fine to medium-density hair.
Hair Type | Recommended Packs (50 pcs each) |
---|---|
Fine Hair | 4 packs |
Medium Hair | 5–6 packs |
Coarse Hair | 6–7 packs |
