Hair Extension Weight Guide: Per Strand, Tape Piece, Weft, Bundle and Set

The first task is classification. Identify the construction and choose its actual selling or approval unit. A product can be packed differently without changing its name, so the unit should appear in the written line description rather than being inferred from a photograph or the supplier’s previous order.

The examples below are starting points for enquiries and sample development. Confirm the actual configuration, permitted variation and inclusion of attachment material. A long-strip tape, specialist application system or finished hairpiece needs its own definition; do not force it into a convenient standard-piece number.

Net hair weight refers to the hair under the agreed measurement method. Finished-product weight can include a keratin bond, tape/base, seam, clips or other construction material. Gross shipping weight additionally includes packaging and other contents. These are useful measurements for different purposes, but they should not be compared as though they describe the same amount of hair.

Some constructions make separating the hair from the attachment destructive. Agree how the supplier will establish or report the relevant value instead of dismantling a finished sample without a plan. State what is included, how the value was obtained and which measurement will govern acceptance. A scale reading alone cannot answer those definition questions.

These arithmetic examples illustrate unit reconciliation, not stock configurations or accepted order minimums. They assume every number uses the same agreed weight basis. If a supplier includes the bond in a strand weight while you expect hair-only grams, the arithmetic may be correct but the purchasing comparison is still wrong.

Two 100g weft packs can differ in width, section count and hair distribution. A longer product at the same total hair weight may present differently through the ends. A clip-in set with more base or clip weight can have a different net hair quantity from another set with the same finished total. Record these differences before deciding that the packs are comparable.

Do not turn grams into a universal recommendation for a person’s head or an installation. The appropriate configuration depends on the product and intended application, which a qualified professional should assess. This guide is a procurement measurement tool, not a prescription to install a particular amount.

The Finland order combines Genius Weft #60A at 100g with Invisible Tape-In #2C at 100g. Keep the product and colour attached to each order line when preparing a similar request. Tape-in pack weight and single-piece weight are separate measurements.

The Romania sample combination uses 100g pack configurations, while the UK Machine Weft example uses a 100g order configuration. For your sample brief, specify the weight unit, piece count and pack layout together.

Record the sample identifier, product construction, stated weight basis, scale used and measurement conditions. Keep the measurement free of removable packaging unless the agreed field is gross packed weight. Where counts matter, count the pieces as well as weighing the pack; a correct total can conceal a different layout.

Agree acceptance limits with the supplier before testing a batch. Do not invent a tolerance after seeing the result or borrow one from a different construction. If there is a discrepancy, report both the reading and the method so the supplier can reproduce the check. Preserve the sample rather than altering it before an investigation is agreed.

A Classic Tape-In order needs individual piece dimensions and a pack count; a Machine Weft order needs finished section widths and quantities. Use the linked products to choose the construction, then add the weight basis and pack calculation to your enquiry.
