It really depends on the texture of the clients hair i suppose...
if they had really fine hair then probably 150..
I like to fit lots if I can just to give it the nice thickness as the hair sheds.
Yeah this woukd be 1g too!

I have tried all the usual brands - Lush us, foxy, celeb elite, buy hair, additional lengths but by far Halo is the best. The website is Hair Extensions | Human and Clip In Hair Extensions | Halo | Halo | Great Hair Extensions which is there retail website but they also do wholesale prices, just call up and make your order. They have a huge huge stock, I have never found them out of stock of anything - I currently do 3 - 5 per week and they are always perfect. The guys there are so helpful especially Beth the wholesale manager. It is always next day delivery via courier, they have fab new boxes too and free gifts! When I first started they sent me free samples to check hair quality. I love Halo!

the amount depends on the lots of factors.
firstly how much hair dose the cliente have?
is it fine or thick?
what micro ring system are you using and what thickness are the extensions?

i know this sounds like a lot of questions but i personaly use on average 80 extension but the average weight of each extension is 1.2 gram.

opsed to most people that are using 0.5 - 0.8
the less micro rings the more comfortable the result

Silicone micro rings are non evasive and not as harsh as glue. Also if the client wants the extensions out she doesn't have to come back to the salon as it's just a case of pliers at the ready. Use 200 to 240 approx
