Small cornrows will require 5 to 6 packs of braids, also depending on the thickness of your hair. Thicker hair may need 7 packs just to be on the safe side. The nature of the cornrow hairstyles will also dictate how much hair you need because some styles are more complicated than others.
A Full Weave InstallFor a fuller look, three (3) packs is recommended, although you may not end up using it all. If you're buying bundles, on average three (3) bundles should do, but you may use 2-4, depending on fullness and length. Generally, for long or full hair, four bundles is usually best.
How many packs of hair do I need to get Bohemian box braids? Depending on the length and thickness of the hairstyle you're going for, you will need anywhere between 5-10 packs of kanekalon hair packs and 1 pack of the freetress deep twist hair.
6 pieces of crochet Faux Locs are usually enough for a full head.
Preparing for Knotless BraidsWhether going to a stylist or doing it yourself, you'll need to have freshly washed, blow dried or stretched hair, and packs of braiding hair. Many stylists suggest 5-7 packs of X-pression pre-stretched braiding hair for medium/long knotless braids and four packs for shorter styles.
What you'll need: 10 packs of hair is fine for medium sized locs. I went the eco-friendly route and bought 5 packs of kanekalon and 5 packs of marley/afro hair. Kanekalon hair cost no more than $2/pack, while marley can cost $6/pack.
The most commonly found packs are usually around 17" long folded, and tend to weigh around 55-65g. That's the case for our I Kick Shins brand, and popular lines like Janet Collection's Noir marley braid. That might not sound like much, but the texture creates a lot of volume.
You need hair that is at least 2 inches (minimum) long, but it's best to have hair 4-5 inches. Know that braiding short hair is a little more challenging than longer hair. But any hair type – coily, curly, wavy, and straight – will look great in braids.
Pre-stretched hair is when we take the hair and stretch the strands so that the ends of the hair bundle is not blunt yet tapered to achieve the nice finish look you see on most braided styles.
Usually 4-5 Packs Can Make A Full Head, If you like a lot of lush hair, you can add more hair.
With crochet braids, you can do this, as long as your locs can be roped to the back. Once you have the locs roped, all you need to do is add the crochet braids to the ropes. This is a great style to do. Just make sure it's not too tight and there's no tugging occurring to your hair.
The most popular hair that is used for the passion twists is the Freetress Water Wave hair. The best hair for passion twists is one that has a medium sized wave — not too tight and not too loose. You also want a hair that doesn't tangle easily. This will help make the installation so much easier.
Spring hair typically comes in a pack with three bundles of hair, but most people only need one and a half bundles to complete their entire head. To achieve medium-sized twists, split each coil in the pack into two, or into three, or four if you want smaller twist.
According to Rogers, about seven packs of braiding hair will supply average density. For larger than life twists, you can use up to 10 bundles. When it's all installed throughout, you'll be greeted with a head full of gorgeous bohemian-styled passion twists looking back at you in the mirror.
You will need 4-5 packs of Marley hair.

How long do they last? "With proper maintenance, passion twists can be up to eight weeks and a bit longer if you don't mind a little frizz."
