Length Match & Bundle Guide
What Bundles Lengths Should I Buy?
Length hits different depending on your height, your hair texture, and the vibe youβre going for. A 20β bundle might give "waist-length" on one person and "mid-back" on another, itβs 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 2β4 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): 2β3 bundles
- Low Texture (e.g. Trophy Set, 90s Fine): 3β4 bundles

- Medium (16β20"): 3 bundles is the sweet spot
- Long (22β26β+): 4 bundles for a full, glam finish
