Do not worry about that because in this post we will share with you background knowledge about double drawn hair extensions and who should choose what types of hair extensions.

What are double drawn hair extensions?

First, what is hair extension?

Hair extension refers to a method of adding length and fullness to human hair. People who get bald, catch cancer-related diseases or suffer from severe hair loss like to use hair extension.

Putting on hair extension gives your hair a natural look. There are some popular types of hair extension such as clip-ins, tape and weave. All are available in various forms, shapes and sizes for you to choose from.

Then, what about double drawn?

Double drawn hair here refers to a bundle of hair usually in the similar length. To be more simplified, if you buy double drawn hair extensions, you will obtain a bunch of about 60-70% amount of hair in the same length.

A double drawn hair bundle never contains 100% hairs with the same length. A hair bundle like this will look too thick and unnatural to people.

On the contrary, single drawn hair has the top wider than the bottom. Moreover, it contains less hair volume than the double drawn.

Next, let’s take a closer look to the benefits and drawbacks of double drawn in hair extension.

Benefits of double drawn hair

Double drawn hair is a great choice if your hair after is that of volume and glamour.  As the hair extensions are very thick right to the top, a full-bodied look will easily be achieved.

As the extensions are so thick, it is likely that you will not need as many as you would need for a full head of single drawn hair extensions, and therefore you will not need to purchase quite as many strands at all.

Drawbacks of double drawn hair

As mentioned before, although you may be able to get away with buying fewer double drawn hair extensions compared to single drawn hair extensions, double drawn hair can be a little bit more expensive than single drawn. However, you will get more hair for your money.

As double drawn hair is thick from the root, this can make the hair strands quite heavy.  If you have fine hair, this weight seems to be too high for their hair to support without causing damage, and therefore double drawn types would be not suited to everyone.
