A quick weave is one of the fastest ways to a full, gorgeous install — but how many bundles do you actually need to get it right? The answer comes down to two things: the length and the texture you're working with. Here's your simple guide, using our popular Italian Curly texture as an example.
What Is a Quick Weave?
A quick weave bonds wefts of hair to a protective cap over your braided-down hair, so you skip the hours of sewing and walk out with a full look fast. It's a favorite for beginners and anyone who wants big results in less time. Shop our Quick Weave Collection to get started.
How Many Bundles by Length
- 14″–18″: 2 bundles is usually plenty for a full quick weave.
- 20″–24″: 2–3 bundles keeps the ends looking thick.
- 26″–30″: 3 bundles for full, glamorous length.
Why Texture Matters
Curly textures like our Italian Curly shrink up and spring back, so they often need that third bundle to keep the volume lush from root to tip. As a rule of thumb: 2 bundles for natural fullness, 3 for that fuller, Instagram-worthy look.
Complete Your Install
Pair your bundles with a matching closure for a natural part, or grab a ready-matched set from our bundle deals to take the guesswork out.
