How Many Bundles Do You Actually Need?
Girl, let me save you from my mistakes. I used to think two bundles was enough for a full sew-in. The sparse spots at my crown were... embarrassing. Here's what actually works:
For Natural Fullness:
- 10-14 inches: 2 bundles (if you like that sleek bob look)
- 16-20 inches: 3 bundles minimum
- 22-26 inches: 3-4 bundles
- 28+ inches: 4 bundles (trust me on this)
My current install? Three 20-inch bundles of Brazilian Silky Straight with a 5x5 closure. The coverage is perfect, no thin spots, and I can still do a high ponytail without gaps showing.
Which Sew-In Hair Is Right for You?
Here's the thing. I spent years buying random bundles hoping they'd work. Total waste. Now I know exactly what to look for, and honestly, it comes down to three things: your natural texture, your lifestyle, and your install schedule.
If you're a wash-and-go girl like me, you need raw hair. Period. Brazilian Body Wave Raw Hair has been my go-to for over a year now. The longevity is insane. I've colored it twice (honey blonde, then back to natural), and it still moves like butter.
But if you're more of a "fresh install every 6 weeks" person, virgin hair gives you that perfect look without the premium price tag. The Malaysian Body Wave holds curls like nobody's business. Last week I went from straight to bombshell waves for a wedding, and people thought I got a whole new install.
The Real Cost of Quality Sew-In Hair
Not gonna lie, quality bundles are an investment. But here's what nobody tells you: cheap hair costs more in the long run. I used to buy those synthetic bundles every month. Do the math. Now I invest in raw bundles that last over a year.
My Indian Wavy Hair Extensions are going on their fifth install. FIFTH. They've been bleached, colored, straightened, and they still look better than most people's fresh bundles. That's the difference quality makes.
Professional installation runs extra (my stylist charges by the hour), but the right bundles make their job easier. Less tangling during install means less time in the chair.
Why Choose Locks of Hair Sew-In Bundles?
Look, I've tried bundles from everywhere. Beauty supply stores, random websites, even that girl on Instagram who swore her bundles were "premium." Most of them went straight to the trash after one install.
What sets these bundles apart? They're consistent. Every bundle in your order matches perfectly. Same texture, same density, same quality. No playing bundle roulette hoping they'll blend. Plus, they actually stock what they advertise. Nothing worse than falling in love with a texture just to find out it's "temporarily unavailable" when you need a reinstall.
The virgin hair takes color beautifully (just did burgundy highlights last month), and the raw hair? Absolutely perfect. It air-dries with the perfect amount of texture. No more waking up at 5 AM to flat iron before work.

Whether you're doing your first install or your fifteenth, getting the right bundles changes everything. Start with our Brazilian Body Wave. It's forgiving for beginners but gorgeous enough for veterans.
Girl, the way quality bundles move when you walk? That swish-swish is everything. I'm telling you, once you feel the difference, there's no going back.
