Hur mycket hår behöver du till butterfly weft?

Butterfly weft is a light and flexible hair extension that gives a natural and soft result. To get the perfect balance in your hair, it is important to choose the right amount of hair. Here you will get a simple and clear guide that will help you find exactly the right amount for your hair type and your desired look.

Why the amount of hair is so important

When the amount is right, the fall, fullness and mixing are perfect.
You get:
• natural volume
• smooth movement
• even fullness
• a feminine and airy feel

Too little hair can make the ends thin, and too much can strain the scalp. Balance is key.

Amount of hair for thin hair

Because butterfly weft is light and thin, it works wonderfully for fine hair.
Recommendation:
• one to two lines
• light amount to avoid drafts
• perfect for natural volume and light length

This gives a gentle and harmonious result.

Amount of hair for normal hair

Most people with normal hair thickness enjoy the following:
• two to three lines
• soft volume throughout the hair
• balanced and full length

It is the most common and versatile amount.

Amount of hair for thick hair

Thicker hair needs a little more volume to match its natural volume.
Recommendation:
• three to four lines
• extra fullness to create an even fall
• perfect for longer extensions

It makes the entire hair harmonious and uniform.

How length affects quantity

The longer the hair you choose, the more volume is needed to avoid thin ends.
• shorter lengths need less hair
• medium lengths require medium amount
• long lengths need extra fullness

It creates a luxurious and even shape.

How texture affects quantity

Texture is very important.
• straight hair requires more volume
• wavy hair gives more volume by itself
• curly and frizzy hair needs the least amount

The more structure, the less hair is needed to create volume.

Signs that you have chosen the right amount

• hair falls softly
• the tops feel full
• the rows are stable
• the whole thing feels light and natural
• the styling stays beautiful all day long

Then you know you've found the perfect balance.
