1. What Do These Terms Mean?
When shopping for hair extensions, you may encounter terms like single drawn, double drawn, super double drawn, and single donor hair. These terms refer to the hair’s thickness, consistency, and quality, which affect its appearance and how it performs over time. Let’s break down each type.
2. Single Drawn Hair
Single drawn hair is the most affordable option and is often considered entry-level. This hair is collected from multiple donors and contains strands of varying lengths, creating a natural but less full look. While it’s great for achieving a lightweight, natural aesthetic, it’s less ideal for those seeking uniform thickness from root to tip.
Pros:
Pros:
- Natural, lightweight appearance.
- More affordable compared to other types.
- Thin ends due to mixed hair lengths.
- Requires more bundles for a fuller look.
3. Double Drawn Hair
Double drawn hair offers a more polished and consistent look. The strands are carefully sorted to ensure the majority are of equal length, creating thicker hair from top to bottom. Since hair bundles are weighed by 100 grams, achieving this uniformity often involves combining strands from multiple donors.
Pros:
Pros:
- Thicker and fuller appearance.
- Less need for multiple bundles.
- Slightly more expensive than single drawn hair.
4. Super Double Drawn Hair
For those who desire maximum thickness and luxury, super double drawn hair is the ultimate choice. This hair type contains nearly 90% of strands of the same length, ensuring unparalleled volume and consistency. Like double drawn hair, it’s constructed by combining strands from multiple donors to achieve its signature fullness.
Pros:
Pros:
- Unmatched fullness and uniformity.
- Ideal for bold, voluminous styles.
- Expensive compared to other types.
- May feel heavier on the head.
- Some don’t like the completely blunt look.
5. Single Donor Hair
Single donor hair is the pinnacle of hair quality. This hair comes from one donor, ensuring consistency in texture and quality. It’s typically unprocessed and perfect for clients seeking raw or virgin hair for colouring and customisation. Unlike double or super double drawn hair, it’s not combined from multiple sources.
Pros:
Pros:
- Consistent texture and quality.
- Excellent for custom colouring and styling.
- Very expensive.
- Limited availability.
6. Why I Prefer Double Drawn Hair
While all these hair types have their unique benefits, double drawn hair is my personal favourite. Here’s why:
- Balanced Thickness: Fuller look without being overly heavy.
- Value for Money: Excellent quality and volume at a reasonable price point.
- Styling Versatility: Consistent thickness makes styling easier and more impactful.
Final Thoughts
Understanding the differences between single drawn, double drawn, super double drawn, and single donor hair is crucial when investing in extensions. Each type serves a unique purpose, but for me, double drawn hair stands out as the best all-round option. It offers the thickness and consistency my clients love while remaining accessible.
