Extension Density Decoded: Why ‘3 Packs Still Looked Bad’

Extension Density Decoded: Why ‘3 Packs Still Looked Bad’

Ever installed three full packs of extensions—only to find your client still looking flat, stringy, or disappointingly thin?

You’re not crazy.
The problem isn’t how much hair you bought.
It’s how the hair was made.

At Christian Michael Hair Extensions, we believe density matters more than the number of packs—and today, we’re decoding the real reason why some extensions still look sparse, even when you're installing multiple wefts.

Let’s talk numbers, strategy, and why CM hair is engineered differently to give real fullness with fewer pieces.

🧠 What Is Hair Extension Density—And Why Should You Care?

Density = how much hair is packed onto each weft.

It’s NOT just about grams. It’s about how those grams are distributed and how much actual strand coverage you’re getting from root to tip.

📏 Let’s Break Down the Math (In Real Terms)

Let’s say you’re buying 3 “standard” packs of extensions from a typical brand:

  • Each pack is 100g

  • Each pack includes multiple wefts (usually thinner machine-tied wefts)

  • Sounds like plenty, right?

But here's the catch:

  • Those 100 grams are often poorly distributed — with much of the weight concentrated at the top

  • That leads to wispy, sparse ends that never give that full, blended look

  • You may need to stack multiple wefts just to hide the thinness

The result?
3 packs installed = still looks like 1.5 packs of actual density.

🔍 The Christian Michael Difference: Engineered for Density

At Christian Michael Hair Extensions, we don’t just add more hair and call it a day.
We engineer every weft for density that’s balanced, consistent, and built to perform.

Here’s what makes us different:

✅ Root-to-tip fullness – not just thick at the top
✅ Fewer wefts needed for full coverage
✅ Strategic strand placement for max blend and natural movement
✅ Premium Remy human hair that holds style and volume

Our stylists consistently report needing fewer packs for better results—saving time on installs, reducing bulk on the scalp, and delivering a fuller, more flawless finish.

💡 Real Talk from Stylists

"I used to use 3-4 packs to get the density I needed. Now with CM, 1.5–2 packs give me more volume and way better blend."
— @brittanybstyles

"The ends on most extensions are too thin to do anything with. CM’s are full all the way down. Game changer."
— @hairbylaurenwest

🧠 Why Thin Extensions Happen (Even When They’re Labeled “Thick”)

Many brands cut corners by:

  • Using short filler strands to pad weight

  • Layering inconsistent strand lengths in a weft

  • Offering "100g" packs that feel full at the top, but thin out fast

  • Mislabeling “double drawn” when it’s actually single drawn

At Christian Michael, we don’t do filler. We use true double-drawn hair, hand-selected and sorted for consistency from top to bottom.

✅ Fewer Packs, Fuller Results

If you’re constantly doubling wefts just to get basic fullness, you’re working harder than you have to.

With CM’s high-density, Remy-grade extensions, you get:

💥 Instant volume
💥 Less stacking
💥 More natural movement
💥 A more comfortable wear for clients
