FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How many strands of hair do I need for a full head?
The average head of hair needs between 5 and 6 packs (100-120 strands). However, depending on the length of your client’s hair, as well as the thickness this can vary. Someone with a short bob may need as many as 10 packs, whereas someone with shoulder-length may only need 4.
What color should I choose?
We have many colors to choose from in a wide variety of shades and levels. Remember, because the hair is 100% human you can also color the hair to a level of your choice. To find the best color match, purchase our Color Ring today.
What is the difference between I-Tip and Fusion?
Our I-Tip method is also known as the beading method. It involves tiny aluminum beads created to hold the hair in place. It also alleviates the use of heat and glue, making the removal process much easier. Our Fusion method has 100% keratin tips, making it easy to blend upon application.
How many strands come in a pack?
Our I-Tip and Fusion packs have 20 strands per pack. Tape-In packs have ten 1 ½” wefts, and Hand Tied Weft packs have three 10” and two 5” wefts.
