Do I Need?
Whether you’re after a subtle volume boost or full coverage for longer styles, here’s what you need to know: the longer your hair, the more grams you’ll need to maintain fullness.
Volume:
150 - 180 G
Two bundles plus a closure is usually enough to achieve a full, natural-looking sew-in or V-Part install at this length. It gives you smooth, even coverage without feeling too dense.
Show Stopping Volume:
200 G +
For added density and structure, go bigger. This option gives a bolder, fuller silhouette—ideal for blunt cuts, layers, or high-impact styling that still lands just above the shoulders.

Two to three bundles plus a closure will give you a full, balanced look with great movement and natural density. This is ideal for everyday wear or polished protective styles that don’t skimp on volume.
Show Stopping Volume:
200 - 250 G
This level of volume adds weight and density through the ends. Perfect for layered styles, defined shapes, or simply achieving a fuller, more impactful look. Use three full bundles for a thicker, more dramatic result.

Gram weight determines how thick and full your finished look will be. A higher gram set means more density and volume, especially for longer lengths. Choosing the right grams keeps your hair balanced from root to tip.
It depends on your hair length and how much volume you want. Most people need 150–200g for a natural full look, while thicker or longer installs often require 250g or more. Our guide above breaks it down by length to make choosing easy.
Slightly. Clip-Ins usually need a bit more weight since they’re spread across sections, while Tape Ins or Wefts can use slightly less for the same coverage because they lay flatter. But your starting point should always be your hair length and desired fullness.
Gram weight tells you how much hair is in your set. The higher the grams, the fuller and thicker your final look will be. Choosing the right grams ensures your style has even volume from root to tip.
If you have fine or medium hair, lighter bundles like 50–100 g can add volume without feeling heavy. Thicker or longer natural hair may need 150 g or more for full coverage. Use our length guide to match your goals.
● 50 g: Great for a soft boost or adding subtle volume.
● 100 g: Ideal for everyday fullness and balanced coverage.
● 150 g+ : Best for longer styles or high-volume transformations.All MANESTORY extensions use the same premium Remy quality, so the main difference is thickness and density.
