A value is only useful when both parties know what was measured. Record usable hair length separately from attachment dimensions, and hair-only weight separately from the finished piece or pack.
Use centimetres or millimetres consistently for the relevant measurement. If an existing supplier uses another unit, keep both the original stated value and the agreed converted value in the written record.
| Specification field | Information to record |
|---|---|
| Usable hair length | Length in centimetres and the agreed measuring method |
| Net hair weight | Grams of hair, excluding thread, tape, keratin, clips and packaging |
| Finished weight | Separate measured weight including the attachment |
| Strands or pieces | Count per pack and the basis of an individual or grouped weight |
| Attachment size | Width, height, thickness or bond dimensions in the specified unit |
| Variation | Tolerance to be agreed against the selected sample, not assumed |
