How many bundles for a full wig? A guide from 10 to 30 inch

A simple rule of thumb for planning stock, with one closure or one frontal.

Hands making a wig on a mannequin head

Longer hair needs more bundles for the same fullness, because each bundle weighs about 100 g whatever its length.

With a 5x5 closure

  • 10–16 inch: 2 bundles
  • 18–22 inch: 3 bundles
  • 24–30 inch: 4 bundles

With a 13x4 frontal

  • 10–16 inch: 3 bundles
  • 18–24 inch: 3 to 4 bundles
  • 26–30 inch: 4 to 5 bundles
