What Is Double Drawn Hair?

Straight Double Drawn Lace Front Wig

Double drawn hair has more hairs of equal length, accounting for about 70-80%, sometimes up to 90% and the rest of the strands are just slightly shorter.

This means that if you purchase an 18-inch double drawn hair, over 80% of the hair within the bundle would measure the full 18 inches.

So, the hair would be thick from root to tip.

To get double drawn hair extensions, the technician would remove the short hairs until the standard ratio of hairs has been achieved, and then the hair is wefted horizontally.

Typically, double drawn hair comes from multiple donors. That is because no one has a full head of hair measuring equal lengths (from top to bottom).

Within a bundle of double drawn hair, shorter hair strands have been removed and replaced with longer ones. A bundle is quite difficult to collect and its creation requires a lot of raw material, which is impossible to get from one person. Shorter hairs are manually removed to create hair bundles of the same length, thickness, and structure.

Cons of Double Drawn Hair

It is more expensive. The production of one bundle requires more raw materials. Even though you may be buying fewer hair bundles compared to single drawn hair. On a strand by strand basis, double drawn hair is more expensive than single drawn.
The strands are heavy and are not suitable for customers with thin, soft hair. They will be noticeable in the hairstyle. Also, excessive tension can damage and weaken the hair follicles, potentially leading to hair loss.
