Choosing the right amount of hair is one of the most important parts of creating a natural, harmonious and lasting result with hairweft and micro braids. When the amount matches your hair type and style, you get a soft fall, perfect balance and a result that feels luxurious with every movement.

Why the right amount is crucial

When the amount of hair is perfectly adjusted, you get even fullness throughout the hair, a natural fall and less risk of pulling in the rows. This makes the result both beautiful and comfortable to wear.

How much hair is needed for thin hair?

Thin hair does well with a lighter amount. One to two lines are often enough to create fullness without the hair feeling heavy. This gives a natural and gentle result.

How much hair is needed for normal hair?

Normal hair can handle more volume and length. Two to three rows give a full and soft result that is suitable for both everyday and party wear. This is the most common amount and gives a beautiful balance.

How much hair is needed for thick hair?

Thick hair needs more volume to achieve an even shape. Three to four rows are usually perfect to match the natural volume and create a soft and harmonious fall.

How length affects quantity

Shorter lengths require less volume while longer lengths need more volume to avoid thin ends. The balance between length and fullness is crucial for a luxurious end result.

How texture affects quantity

Straight hair often needs more volume to look full. Wavy hair has natural volume and requires less. Curly and kinky hair gives a lot of volume and therefore needs the least amount.

Signs that you have chosen the right amount

The hair falls softly, the ends are full, the lines are stable and the blending feels completely natural. That's when you know the amount is perfect.
