Choosing hair extensions can feel like navigating a maze of endless options, and one key factor to consider is whether to go for double drawn or single drawn hair. But what do these fancy terms really mean, and how do they impact your luscious locks? Don't worry, we've got you covered. This guide will break down the difference between double drawn and single drawn hair so you can make the best choice for your fabulous mane.
What is Single Drawn Hair?
Single drawn hair extensions feature a mix of different lengths, with shorter hairs at the top and longer ones at the bottom resulting in a tapered, naturally uneven, relaxed look. 50-60% of the hair is the same length. This is the most common type of hair extension available and is often the least expensive option.
What is Double Drawn Hair?
In double-drawn hair, the weft will be thick from the root to tip. This type is often made from higher quality, healthier hair, which can result in longer-lasting extensions. In double drawn hair, at least 80% of the hair is the same length. Double drawn hair is also more expensive than single drawn hair and is not as common.
How is Double Drawn Hair Collected?
Donors have single drawn hair as this is how hair naturally grows. To achieve the thickness and volume of double drawn hair, strands are collected from two donors, ensuring the final bundle has that full, lush look. Because sometimes, more is definitely more!
