If you do not know to identify single, double-drawn hair, and super double-drawn hair and choose the grade which is the most suitable for your requirements, keep reading this blog.
1. The definition of Single drawn, Double drawn, and Super double drawn hair
Remy Human hair is divided into 3 main levels of quality grade:
Single-drawn hair (SD): About 50% of a single-drawn hair bundle is in the same full length, the rest is shorter. It causes the hair bundle to be thinner at the ends and become tapered in the middle and fullest at the top.
Double-drawn hair (DD): About 70 – 75% of a double drawn hair bundle is in the same full length, and the rest is shorter. Of course, a bundle of double-drawn hair will look fuller than a single-drawn hair, especially at the end of the bundle.
Super double-drawn hair (SDD): About 90 – 95% of a double-drawn hair bundle is in the same full length, and the rest is shorter. Super double-drawn hair is suitable for girls who want thick hair.
With the above information, it is easy to predict that a double-drawn hair bundle will cost less than a bundle of super double-drawn hair and higher than a bundle of single-drawn hair.
2. Tips to identify single drawn, double drawn and super drawn hair
The two simplest ways to identify the hair bundles are single, double-drawn hair or super double-drawn hair are distinguished by eyes and through touching.
2.1. Identify by eyes
With this hair check, to determine these above 3 grades of hair, you should observe and compare the top and the ends of the hair.
If the ends of the hair look noticeably thinner than the top and have lots of strands that aren’t the same length, you can say it’s single-drawn.
It is double drawn hair if the difference between the ends and the top of the hair is not too noticeable.
If the top and ends of the hair have the same thickness, it is super double-drawn hair.
This check is usually easier to apply to natural straight, bone straight or wavy hairs. For voluminous hair such as bouncy, deep curly, deep wavy, it is quite difficult to detect the difference between the ends of the hair and the top.
2.2. Identify by touch
If you can check your hair by touching it directly, there are at least 2 ways you can try, which is swiping the hair from the top to down and holding the hair horizontally and bending it:
Swiping the hair from the top: hold the whole bundle of hair and stroke it from top to down to determine where the hair begins to be thinner.
If you reach the position of about 50% of the length of the hair bundle and the hair begins to be thinner, it is single drawn hair.
If at 75% of the length of the hair, the hair becomes thinner, it could be double drawn hair.
If from top to bottom the thickness of the hair bundle does not change significantly, it is the super one.
Hold your hair horizontally and bend it: this will help determine how much or less of the hair is shorter than the rest.
If about 50% of the hair that is shorter comes out, you can say it is single-drawn hair
If about 30% of the shorter hair comes out, it can be the double
It is the super if the amount of shorter hair coming out is very little
To be able to identify single, double and super double drawn hair with the greatest certainty, it is best that you combine both methods.
3. Target customers for single, double drawn and super double drawn hair
When buying hair, customers from different markets will have different choices among the 3 grades of hair, depending on their needs and economic conditions:
With single drawn hair: People with low economic conditions, and African customers will often choose single drawn hair. Moreover, many people prefer single drawn hair from hair suppliers in because of its all-natural surface. As you are aware, natural hair growing from our scalp expands differently. The hair will come in a variety of lengths. As a result, single drawn hair is the best option for customers looking for a natural finish. One solution for very thin ends is to trim the ends of the hair 1-2 inches, then the thickness of the ends is not too different from the top of the hair.
With double drawn hair: At an affordable price, double-drawn hair is chosen by many beauty lovers to invest in their looks. European customers often choose this grade of hair extensions because they love thick hair but their natural hair is so thin. However, the price will be higher than for single-drawn hair, but the quality deserves what you pay for. Double-drawn hair is an ideal choice if you want your hair to look bouncy but still natural and the cost is affordable.
With Super drawn hair: this grade is chosen by customers who really love thick hair. With the highest quality compared to single and super double drawn, super double drawn hair is much more expensive, so it is the option for European customers and people with good economic conditions.
In general, single drawn will be most suitable for those who just like adding moderate volume at the ends like layers hairstyle, while double drawn and super double drawn hair is for those who love extremely thick, bouncy and voluminous hair. Single drawn and double drawn are popular in African markets while double drawn and super double drawn are popular in European markets.
