How many Vietnamese hair bundles do I need for a full, seamless sew-in?
-
So, in terms of achieving a sew-in with natural Vietnamese hair bundles, you really have three factors that come into play. That would be the desired length, the desired fullness or thickness, and whether you'll be adding a closure or a frontal. With the kind of hair texture that comes with natural Vietnamese hair, your strands are thick and coarse to start, so you'll typically need far fewer bundles of Vietnamese hair to get a full look versus some other hair textures.
- 10-14 Inches-2 bundles work perfectly for an affordable, lightweight install suitable for daily wear and movement.
- 16-22 Inches-3 bundles work perfectly because its that's "sweet" spot with volume, body and weight on the braid installation and not pulling down on the braid.
- 24 Inches & Up-4 bundles are required so that the ends look thick, hair cuticles are thick, and this requires additional bundles for thickness since long lengths result in shorter hair on the weft.
If you're planning on using a lace closure or lace frontal with your bundle set, then you're probably fine to go down one bundle until about 22" to avoid an unrealistic bump at the crown of your head. Double Drawn/Super Double Drawn extensions should be used to achieve fullness along the entire length of the hair and to prevent it from being tight
