Two Rows vs. One Row:
The Differences & How to Decide Based on Your Hair Goals
One of the most common questions we get is, “what is the difference between wearing one row of IBE versus two?”. Choosing the right amount of rows is dependent on so many factors. To name a few, your end goal for length, your color goals, or the density of your natural hair. Let's break down some key differences and help you find out how many rows may be right for you.
One Row of IBE = A Subtle Enhancement
Think of one row as enhancing rather than transformative; it’s more organic. It gives extra volume, and depending on the blend with your natural hair, you could also get some length. One row can give the subtle dimension to enhance your natural color, too. The perfect option for those who have fine hair that want to keep things low maintenance.
Benefits:
Natural Look: Adds just enough length and volume to enhance your hair without being overly noticeable.
Minimal Maintenance: With fewer rows, the overall maintenance is more manageable.
Comfort: Fewer rows mean less coverage of your scalp, which could be more comfortable, especially for those new to extensions.
Two Rows of IBE = The Transformation
Two rows is show stopping. If you're dreaming of luscious locks and mermaid tresses, two rows of IBE is the way to go. This option allows for a more significant change for length, volume, and color, while still keeping your extensions looking natural and blended. Two rows is ideal for clients who have medium to thick hair density, want long hair but need to blend with current length/layering, or, whose hair goals are not only fullness but mainly length.
Key factors to consider when deciding between one row of extensions vs two rows:
1. Hair Goals: Consider what you're hoping to achieve with your extensions. If you want just a bit more length and subtle volume, one row could be enough. For a more significant transformation, two rows will give you that extra boost.
2. Lifestyle: Think about how much time you're willing to spend on maintenance. Two rows require a bit more home care, so if you're on-the-go or prefer lower maintenance, one row might be the better option.
3. Budget: While investing in two rows offers a more dramatic look, it also comes with a higher cost. Evaluate your budget to see what aligns with your financial plans.
4. Hair Health: Your natural hair's health and density can also influence your decision. And your natural hair health is always our top priority. If your hair is fine or damaged, starting with one row might be more ideal to ensure your hair stays healthy.
