Choosing the right hair extensions is not determined only by the desired length. One of the most important factors for achieving a natural and beautiful result is choosing the correct hair weight. Many clients wonder whether they should choose 50 g, 100 g, 150 g, 200 g, 250 g, or 300 g, but the best choice depends on several factors – the thickness of the natural hair, the chosen extension length, and the desired final effect.

The correctly selected amount of hair ensures that the extensions blend naturally with your own hair, the ends look full, and the hairstyle has a beautiful, complete appearance.

We offer hair extensions in lengths of 55 cm, 65 cm, and 70 cm, with each length creating a different effect – from natural length enhancement to maximum volume and a luxurious, impressive look.

Why is the weight of hair extensions so important?

When choosing hair extensions, the weight is one of the most important factors determining how thick and voluminous the hair will look after application. The correct amount should be selected according to your natural hair density, the chosen length, and the desired final result. A higher weight provides more fullness, volume, and a more finished appearance, especially with longer extensions.

It is important to understand that a higher weight does not necessarily mean longer hair. Length and thickness are two different characteristics.

For example:

• 100 g of extensions at 55 cm can look sufficient on fine hair.

• The same 100 g at 70 cm will look thinner because the hair is distributed over a longer length.

That is why, when choosing extensions, you should always consider the length, density, and desired style.

What should you consider when choosing the hair weight?

1. Natural hair thickness

The first and most important factor is the density of your own hair.

Fine hair

For fine hair, a very large amount of extensions is usually not necessary. The goal is to achieve a natural blend without making the hair look overloaded.

Suitable options:

• 50 g – light thickening;

• 100 g – natural length enhancement;

• 150 g – more fullness and volume.

Normal hair

For medium-density hair, medium weights are most commonly used to create a balanced look.

Suitable options:

• 150 g – natural result;

• 200 g – more volume;

• 250 g – fuller and more glamorous hairstyle.

Thick hair

For naturally thick hair, a larger amount is needed to avoid a visible difference between your own hair and the extensions.

Suitable options:

• 200 g;

• 250 g;

• 300 g for maximum volume.

Hair extension weight guide according to length

How many grams are needed for 55 cm extensions?

The 55 cm length is one of the most popular choices because it creates long, feminine hair while still looking naturally blended.

This length is suitable both for everyday wear and for more voluminous hairstyles.

Recommended options:

50 g – Suitable for light thickening or adding subtle volume to very fine hair.

100 g – A good choice for fine hair when the goal is natural length enhancement without excessive fullness.

150 g – One of the most balanced options for normal hair. Provides beautiful volume and a natural blend.

200 g – Suitable for a fuller appearance, thicker ends, and more volume.

250 g – Suitable for thick hair where better blending between natural hair and extensions is needed.

300 g – The choice for very thick hair or for clients who want maximum volume, fullness, and a luxurious appearance.

How many grams are needed for 65 cm extensions?

The 65 cm length creates a more dramatic effect and is preferred by people who want longer hair. Since the hair is longer, a larger amount is often needed to keep the ends looking full.

Recommended options:

100 g – Suitable only for a very subtle effect or slight length addition on fine hair.

150 g – A good option for natural lengthening on finer hair.

200 g – Suitable for balanced volume and natural fullness.

250 g – An excellent choice for a thick and luxurious look.

300 g – Suitable for thick hair or clients who want maximum volume with great length.

How many grams are needed for 70 cm extensions?

The 70 cm length is the most impressive option and is preferred by clients who want long, dramatic, and luxurious hair.

With this length, choosing the correct weight is especially important because insufficient hair can make the ends appear thinner.

Recommended options:

150 g – Suitable for lighter length enhancement on fine hair.

200 g – A good option for naturally looking long hair.

250 g – Suitable for more fullness and beautiful volume.

300 g – The best choice for maximum impact, very thick hair, and an extremely full appearance.

Quick guide: Which weight should you choose?

How do you know you have chosen the right weight?

Properly selected extensions should look like a natural part of your own hair.

A good result means:

• a smooth transition between your natural hair and the extensions;

• full and beautiful ends;

• enough volume;

• comfort while wearing;

• easy styling.

If the amount is too small, the hair may look uneven and the ends may appear thinner. If the amount is too large, it may create unnecessary weight and strain.

Choosing between 50 g, 100 g, 150 g, 200 g, 250 g, and 300 g depends on your individual hair characteristics and the result you want to achieve.

For shorter lengths such as 55 cm, a beautiful effect can often be achieved with a smaller weight, while longer options such as 65 cm and 70 cm usually require more hair to create full and natural-looking ends.

Whether you are looking for light thickening, natural length enhancement, or maximum volume, choosing the correct weight will help you achieve your desired look with a beautiful, professional, and natural result.
