Even though we have written hundreds of articles about hair extensions, there are always new and exciting questions that our community asks. Today, we are going to talk about the differences between thin and thick hair and which configuration one should buy.
First, if you want to know all there is to the thickness of the hair as well as gain more knowledge about hair extensions, please see our detailed guide about buying hair extensions. It goes into great detail and includes information about textures, colors, attachment types, and more.
As for everyone else, here is s summarized version that will help you out. It’s also important to check our cheat sheet at the end of the article.
The thickness of the hair is determined by the hair extensions’ weight (in grams) and length. We’ve seen many guides that don’t necessarily draw a complete picture. The thinner the hair, the lighter it is, and the wise versa.
If you simply want to increase the overall length of your hairstyle, then thinner (and lighter) hair extensions will do the job. Light hair extensions weigh less than 100 grams.
This is usually the cheapest option and might not give you the results one was hoping for. That is unless your hair is extremely fine. Only a tiny percentage of women have fine hair. If you are unsure, go with the next option.
Weight: 40 to 90 grams per set
Price range: $25 to $50
So, you’ve just got yourself a new pair, which sadly is not what you expected. Are your hair extensions too thin? You can return AiryHair products within 30 days and get your money back or replace them with a thicker set, even for used hair.
Otherwise, you might want to order a second set from the same supplier, adding additional strands or clips. I think that every store should let users know about the required number of bundles that you need. We do that!
The second option is somewhere in between. If you also want to increase your hair volume slightly and have a healthier look, consider hair weighing 100 – 130 grams.
These are the medium-thickness extensions that will suit the majority of women. Our clients sometimes draw a far worse picture than it is, rating their hair fine despite rocking medium-thickness strands. Medium-thickness hair is also the easiest to blend.
Weight: 100 to 130 grams per set
Price range: $50 to $150
On the other hand, if you want to have a massive hairstyle that looks like one of those shampoo commercials, then go with thick hair extensions. Such extensions are the most expensive and weigh in the range of 200 grams.
Some women want to be discrete about additional layers of hair on their heads. Others go all the way in with the most drastic look. If your budget allows it, go for it!
Weight: 150 to 200 grams per set
Price range: $100 to $250
We are not yet ready to let you go. There are a few other things one must know before ordering hair extensions.
To sum it all up, most women should get hair extensions that are of at least 100 grams in weight. That will not only transform your look but do so on a medium budget, which will not only increase the overall length but volume too. Buy thin extensions only if you have extremely thin hair or want to add a few color-popping strands to your look. Thick hair extensions are for women that don’t care about the price and want the best thing there is.
