Hair width measures the width of each hair strands, while density refers to how closely these hairs are arranged on your head. The density of hair is also affected by the texture, porosity and width of hair. Knowing the density, curl pattern, porosity and width of your hair will help you choose the right product, style and hairstyle to maintain the volume of your hair, today we will mainly discuss about hair density. To help you understand hair density, here are some hair densities that you will find when you are looking to buy hair.
Extra super light hair density: 50% to 60%
This density is considered to be the lightest and most suitable for people with little natural hair. Some scalps may be visible, but they may look natural.
Light hair density: 80%
This is also a perfect choice for people with naturally thin hair. People with thinner hair prefer this method. For this density, there is fewer hair on the cap, and you can't even feel it.
Light to medium density: 100%
This density of wigs is still light. Nevertheless, it provides greater coverage than 80% or lower density. If your hair is naturally fine and you want to imitate you own natural hair texture, this is the perfect choice.
Medium density: 120% to 130%
Medium hair density is the density closest to natural hair, so it is very popular among people who wearing wigs. It's big in size, but it has a natural appearance. This density is neither thick nor too thin. When you are looking for the fullness of your hair, medium density is the best choice for you.
Heavy density: 130% to 150%
If you want to have a volume hairstyle, the heavy hair density is a perfect choice. It gives the wearer with a sense of fullness, without overwhelming. For those who like thick and fluffy hair, thick is an ideal choice.
Extra heavy density: 180% to 200%
This is a kind of thick hair, which is very common among movie stars. They wear thick hair in performances and want a plump and fluffy hairstyle. This density is also suitable for people who like complete style. Nevertheless, this ultra-high density is the most expensive of all hair densities. But it's worth every penny you spend on it because it looks very charming.
How to know which hair density is right for you?
When choosing a hair density, it's hard to know which one suits you the most, or which one is better than the other. It depends on what kind of image you want to achieve. If you want a fuller, voluminous appearance, you must choose a higher density, such as 150% or higher. If you want to achieve an ordinary appearance （neither too thin nor too thick）, it's best to choose a medium density, that is, 150% hair density.
Some people often hear facts and questions about hair density:
Question 1: Do you use the same density scale as other companies?
No. But we do know that all hair system companies use similar types of density scales, but these scales are not exactly the same. We have a wide range of densities, from 35 strands of hairs per square centimeter to 155 strands of hairs per square centimeter, so 35 strands of hairs may be the thinnest, while 155 strands of hairs have the highest density.
Question 2: Will the density I choose affect the basic design?
It will definitely affect! If you want a thin density hair system, then we will suggest you choose a smooth and invisible base to make you look natural. If you decide to choose thick hair density, we will advise you to choose thick heavy hair base. If the density of hair is light, then the basic material should definitely be thinner and smoother. Therefore, when choosing the basic material, we must keep in mind the density of hair.
