Double-Drawn vs. Single-Drawn

The key to high margins and flawless hair extension quality

Why choosing the right type of hair is not just an aesthetic matter, but a strategic decision for your business. How hair processing technologies directly impact your profit and reputation.

What is Single-Drawn hair?

Definition: Hair collected in a single cut, where strands of varying lengths are present, leading to thinning ends.
Characteristics: Natural appearance (like regular hair), lower cost per gram.
Disadvantages for extensions: Requires a larger quantity of material to achieve desired volume, ends may look "thin," necessitating additional processing (trimming) to create density.

What is Double-Drawn hair?

Definition: Hair that has undergone manual or machine processing, where shorter hairs are removed, leaving strands of virtually uniform length from roots to tips.
Characteristics: Maximum density throughout the entire length, premium appearance, higher cost per gram.
Advantages for extensions: Less material consumption to create volume, flawless look that lasts longer, reduced time for correction.

How do DD and SD affect your margin?

Calculations for SD: Example: 150-200 grams may be required for volume, some of which will be trimmed. Hidden costs for additional work and potential client dissatisfaction.
Calculations for DD: Example: 100-120 grams may be sufficient for the same volume. Lower material consumption, ability to set a higher price for a premium service, which increases profit per client.
Waste reduction: DD minimizes the amount of trimmings, which is a direct saving.
