Lengthen Medium Length hair
Medium length hair can be easily lengthened with 5-7 bundles (25 pieces in each bundle) of extensions.
The thickest hair will need the most. It is very important to balance the thickness of the clients hair with the thickness of the hair extensions you put in. Put a solid row of extensions, every 1/4 inch where there is a solid line. Where there is a dotted line skip a 1/2space between extensions.

Lengthening Short Hair
4 ½” – 5” long
It can be very difficult to lengthen hair any shorter than 4 1/2" -5" long.
If you must don’t go any shorter than 3” and add more extensions at the top.
Short hair is the hardest to lengthen. Any shorter than 4 ½” – 5” is not recommended. Thin hair will need 6-7 bundles of extensions, Medium thickness will need 8-9 bundles of extensions and thick hair will need 10 bundles or more With thick hair you will need to add more rows than what are shown here. The diagrams are a guideline. We have had hair that was so thick that they needed 14 bundles of hair which would be 350 pieces. This is rare but be aware that this can happen. People can be upset if you run out of hair. Put a solid row of extensions, every 1/4 inch where there is a solid line. Where there is a dotted line skip a 1/2 space between extensions.
