There are always so many things to consider before having hair extensions. No matter if you are a girl who only wants to have more natural and beautiful hair or you are a provider/seller who is familiar with this industry, some concepts are really confusing and hard to tell the differences. Grades of hair extensions are such concepts. Single drawn hair, double drawn hair, super double drawn hair: What are they, how to distinguish the three of them and which is better? This article will help you to figure it out.
I, What is Single drawn hair?
Single drawn hair is described to contain hair strands with different lengths, resulting in a thicker and fuller look at the top but thinner at the ends. Normally, single drawn hair is mixed from 30% long hair and the rest 70% is shorter hair. This explains the thin look towards the ends. The process of making single drawn hair often requires less work because they do not have to remove short hair strands by hand.
II, What is Double drawn hair?
Double drawn hair, to be short, is a grade of hair in which the percentage of long hair is doubled compared to that in single drawn hair. In a normal double drawn hair bundle or weft, there will be 60-70% of long hair mix with 30% short hair. Short hair strands are removed by hands to make sure the lengths of hair are relatively uniform. Therefore, the hair extension looks thicker, fuller even at the ends. Double drawn hair may be collected from one single donor (pure virgin hair) or mixed donors (remy hair).
III, What is Super double drawn hair?
By calling “Super double drawn hair”, you may have figured out what is so special about this grade of hair. Super double drawn hair is the one which has the highest percentage of long hair in a weft or bundle. There is 80 to 90% of long hair and only 10-20% of short hair in a super double drawn. The hair is full and thick from top to ends.
IV, What are the differences?
So what are the differences between single drawn, double drawn and super double drawn hair? How to distinguish three of them and how to know which one is better? The following will help you to decide:
How to distinguish
Anka Hair provides hair bulks and weft hair of all grades: Single drawn, double drawn and super double drawn. All of them are made from 100% human, unprocessed, no-tangle, no-shedding hair with high quality and can satisfy all our customer’s needs of a perfect hair extension. To tell the difference between single drawn, double drawn and super double drawn hair, we list here the characteristics of each grade according to the length, the thickness/fullness, the origin, the look and the cost for comparison.
1. Single drawn hair
- Contains 30% long hair, the rest is shorter hair strands.
- The hair is full at the top and thinner at the ends.
- Single drawn hair is often remy hair (collected from 2 or 3 donors).
- In real hair, not all strands grow at the same speed so they are not the same in length. This makes single drawn hair look natural as if it is real.
- Single drawn hair is less expensive and more affordable since it does not require much manufacturing work.
2. Double drawn hair
- Contains 60-70% long hair, shorter hair is mostly removed, so there is just about 30-40% of short hair.
- The hair is full and thick from top to ends.
- Double drawn hair can be remy hair (mixed donors) and pure virgin hair (one single donor).
- Double drawn hair can make your hair look a lot thicker and fuller and easier to style with the depth and length almost equal from root to tip,
- Double drawn hair which is made out of remy hair requires much work in removing short hair strands by hand so it has a reasonable price and is quite popular among users.
- Double drawn hair made from pure virgin hair is often more expensive because pure virgin hair is premium high quality hair that is collected from one single donor and can bring you the feel of the most natural, smooth and silky hair.
3. Super double drawn hair
- Contains of 80-90% of long hair, most of short hair is removed by hand
- The hair is thickest and fullest
- Super double drawn hair is made out of remy hair
- The volume and length of hair is superb, the top and end are equal. Super double drawn hair is suitable for those who wish to have absolutely thick hair.
- Super double drawn hair is more expensive than single drawn and remy double drawn hair.
V, How to decide which is best for you
Normally, deciding which type of hair extension mostly depends on how it’ll suit you. Now as you can see the characteristics of each grade listed above, take some time to answer the question: How do you want your hair to be and how much are you willing to pay for it?
Single drawn hair is suitable for girls who want to add some volume and length to the hair but can not afford to buy an expensive extension. And because even real hair doesn’t grow at the same speed and has the same length, single drawn hair can give a feeling of “realistic” to your look. You can even trim a bit of single drawn hair or do a curl to make the ends look fuller.
Double drawn hair and super double drawn hair are suitable for people who have super thin hair and want to add an extreme volume to their hair. Using double drawn or super double drawn hair will make the hair look fullest and thickest from top to ends. You only have to pay a reasonable price to have a remy double drawn hair. However, super double drawn hair costs you a lot more. But again, it is always worth the price if all you need is a high quality product that can help you get a perfect finished look.
