Determining how many bundles you need for a frontal sew in is all about your desired volume, hair length, and the size of your frontal. The frontal usually covers the entire front hairline, from ear to ear. This usually reduces the number of bundles required to a much lower level than for a traditional sew in with a closure. It will be very important to select the right amount for full, seamless, and as-natural-as-possible coverage.
In most installations, especially a frontal sew in, 2 to 3 bundles will suffice when the hair is about 12 to 18 inches long, since these lengths give good density without requiring extra bundles. These lengths work perfectly for a very natural, lightweight look, with two bundles being sufficient for a frontal. Three bundles are generally recommended for those who want a full and voluminous look and feel.
For longer lengths, mainly 20 inches and up, you will need 3 to 4 bundles to keep the hair full from the weft to the ends. As hair gets longer, it can appear thinner at the ends; thus, adding another bundle helps create a fuller, more uniform look. If you really like dramatic volume or are going for layered looks, four bundles may yield the best results.
Your desired texture plays a role, too. For instance, curly or deep-wave textures tend to look fuller, by nature so that you may need fewer bundles. Straight textures can be sleek and lighter; therefore, they might require an additional bundle to achieve your desired volume.
If you want thick ponytails, bouncy curls, or body wave styles with movement, choosing an extra bundle will help you achieve the desired density.
Plan for 2-3 bundles for medium lengths and 3-4 bundles for longer lengths, depending on the texture and the volume you want to achieve. The goal is to make your frontal sew in look full, natural, and perfectly blended.
