How many strands for 12 inch hair extensions?

[joannesherrell]

Hi guys, just setting up in hair extensions and I've done mostly full heads of 18+ inches so far which have turned out great. However, I have a lady who is growing out a very short bob and is looking to go around 12-14 inches. I'm using the Angel Remy double drawn 0.8g strands. It might be wise to note that she also has a smaller than average head. Any idea how many strands I may need?

Hi Joanne!

150 strands will be more than enough (we doubt that you could fit any more.)
If your client has quite thick natural hair or blunt cut then you may be better to use 1 gram strands OR chip into the ends of the client's natural hair for a seamless blend.
