Not sure how many packs of hair extensions you need? Learn the exact amount required for tape-ins, wefts, keratin tips, and clip-ins based on hair type and desired look.

One of the most common questions clients ask is: “How many packs of extensions do I really need?” The answer depends on the method, your natural hair density, and the look you want to achieve. At R Hair Extensions, we help you choose the perfect amount for a seamless and natural finish.

✅ Tape-In & InvisiTape

Each pack comes with 20 sandwiches (10 pieces).
Fine hair: 1–2 packs
Medium hair: 2–3 packs.
Thick hair or full transformation: 3–4 packs.

👉 Ideal for clients who want volume and length with quick application.

✅ Keratin Tips (K-Tips)

Each bundle = 25g of hair (25 strands).
Volume only: 50–75 strands.
Full head (average): 150–175 strands.
Extra thick/full coverage: 175–200 strands.

👉 Perfect for clients looking for long-lasting extensions with lots of movement.

✅ Weft Extensions (Machine Weft & Ultra-Thin)

Each weft = 100g (Machine) or 60g (Ultra-Thin).
Volume boost: 1 weft.
Length + fullness (average hair): 2 wefts.
Thick hair/full head: 3–4 wefts.

👉 Best for professional salon applications with versatility in volume and styling.

✅ Clip-In Extensions

Single piece (100g): Great for instant volume.
7-piece kit (100g): Enough for most clients with fine to medium hair.
For thicker/full hair: Add a second kit for extra density.

👉 Perfect for special occasions and easy DIY transformations.

🎯 Pro Tip

Always consider your client’s natural hair density and desired result. For fine hair, less is more; for thick hair, extra packs ensure an even blend and fuller look.
