There’s no universal answer to how many packs of tape ins you’ll need, but the right number directly shapes the final result. Just answer two core questions, and you’ll find the ideal match for your needs.
Key Factor1 : What Kind of Effect Are You After?
This is the most critical factor in deciding how many packs to get.
Natural Enhancement (1–2 packs): Great for those who already have decent hair volume and mainly want to add length or a slight boost in fullness. The end result looks completely natural
Significant Fullness (2–3 packs): Our top pick! It noticeably thickens hair, creating a lush, eye-catching look—perfect for anyone hoping for a fresh, transformed appearance.
Ultimate Density (3–4+ packs): Suited for people with thin hair or those aiming for a dramatic, runway-worthy level of fullness.
Key Factor2 : What’s Your Natural Hair Like?
Your hair’s inherent characteristics are another key consideration.
Fine or Sparse Hair: Needs more extensions to provide enough coverage and support. Add 0.5–1 pack to the number suggested for your desired effect.
Medium/Regular Hair: You can follow the pack numbers listed for your target look without adjustments.
Thick or Coarse Hair: Requires additional extensions to blend smoothly with your natural hair volume, ensuring an even, cohesive look.
