Longer length hair will have shorter wefts. Hair is measured by weight, and then sewn on to the weft. On average 16 inch, 14 inch, 12 inch, 10 inch, and shorter inches will need 8 ounces/ 230 grams for a full sew-in install. 12 ounces/ 250 grams will be needed to install hair that is longer in length such as 18 inches up to 32 inches.
