Soong. Hair
In hair extensions, you’ll often hear the terms drawn and short hair, and many people assume they mean the same thing. In reality, they refer to two different aspects of the hair, though both affect how it ultimately looks and feels.
Often, when the ends of a hair bundle look thin, people instinctively check the short hair—but in most cases, it’s actually the drawn that determines end thickness.
–What is Drawn?
Drawn refers to the listed length amount. For example, in a 24-inch bundle, drawn shows how much of that hair is truly close to 24 inches.
Commonly drawn categories in hair extensions:
Single drawn
Double drawn
Super double drawn
The higher the drawn:
➤ More hair reaches the listed length
➤ Hair ends are thicker and fuller
➤ Requires higher-quality raw materials and more careful processing
➤ Costs and prices are higher
–What is Short Hair?
Short hair means the shortest hair in a bundle. It describes the range of lengths in a bundle, not a proportion.
Every bundle naturally contains hairs of different lengths. Short hair helps create a smooth transition within the bundle and affects the overall layering of the hair.
In short:
Drawn = determines thickness at the ends
Short hair = determines overall layering and internal structure
–Why Do People Get Them Confused?
Both drawn and short hair affect how full and natural a bundle looks.
When ends look thin, it’s easy to assume:
“Is there too much short hair?”
But actually, the thickness at the ends mainly depends on drawn. Short hair affects layering, but it doesn’t directly determine how thick the ends are.
How to Quickly Tell What to Adjust?
· Thin or less full ends → check the drawn
· Obvious layering → check the short hair
In every hair bundle, drawn and short hair always exist together. Understanding what each term means and how it works will help you better judge a bundle’s end thickness and overall layering, making it easier to choose the hair extensions that match the look you want.
Quick Tip:
Thin ends? → check the drawn
Want more layers? → check the short hair
