Length Match & Bundle Guide
What Bundles Lengths Should I Buy?
Length hits different depending on your height, your hair texture, and the vibe you’re going for. A 20” bundle might give "waist-length" on one person and "mid-back" on another, it’s not one-size-fits-all. So before you add to cart, take a second to think about:
Your height (shorter girls get more length per inch)
Your texture (textured or curly hair shrinks up more than straight hair)
Your look (baddie glam vs. clean-girl bob - both eat, just differently)
Use the visual guide below to see how different lengths fall based on your height. And remember: if you're wearing curly or high-texture hair, go 2–4 inches longer than your target length to account for shrinkage.
How Many Bundles Should I Buy?
The magic number for bundles tends to be 3 but some styles can use less and some need more. The specific number of bundles you need depends on a few different factors, answer the questions below to determine the right number for you.
If you're buying high-texture hair or hair with a curl or wave, you'll usually need fewer bundles. The natural fullness of the texture does a lot of the work for you.
- High Texture (e.g. Star Girl, Fine Babe): 2–3 bundles
- Low Texture (e.g. Trophy Set, 90s Fine): 3–4 bundles

The longer the hair, the more bundles you'll need to keep that fullness from root to tip. Shorter styles? You can get away with less.
- Short (10–14"): 2 bundles may be enough
- Medium (16–20"): 3 bundles is the sweet spot
- Long (22–26”+): 4 bundles for a full, glam finish
The Full Natural (3 Bundles)
If you’re channeling that main character energy with glam, high-volume styles - you'll need more bundles. Sleek and low-profile? You can go with less.
- Glam & Voluminous: 3–4 bundles
- Sleek & Natural: 2–3 bundles
All our big-headed girls come to the front! If you know you have a larger head, its always best to go up in bundle count to ensure you get full coverage during your install.
- Small - Medium Size Head: 2-3 bundles
- Large Head: 4+ bundles
If you're not sure of your head size, follow these steps to figure out where you sit:
Step #1: Grab a soft measuring tape
Place it at your natural hairline in the front, over your ears, and around the nape of your neck - basically, the full circle where a wig or install would sit.
Step #2: Check the number (in inches):
- 21”–21.5” → Small head
- 21.75”–22.5” → Average head
- 22.75”–23.5”+ → Larger head
