The Single Drawn vs. Double Drawn Deep Dive
What does drawn mean? Drawn refers to how hair is sorted by length. When hair is collected, it's all different lengths (some short, some long, all mixed together). Drawing is the process of sorting that hair by length.
PART ONE: SINGLE DRAWN DEFINED
LENGTH VARIATION: Significant variation in hair length within the bundle. APPEARANCE: Some hairs 1 inch shorter than others (noticeable). VOLUME: Less volume (shorter hairs don't contribute as much). PRICE: Cheaper ($100-200 per bundle). LOOK: More natural (variation mimics real hair). BEST FOR: People wanting natural variation.
Single drawn hair looks more like real hair because real hair isn't all one exact length. But the length variation means less overall volume.
PART TWO: DOUBLE DRAWN DEFINED
LENGTH VARIATION: Minimal variation (almost all same length). APPEARANCE: Uniform length throughout. VOLUME: Maximum volume (all hairs contribute equally). PRICE: More expensive ($200-400+ per bundle). LOOK: Salon-polished, very full. BEST FOR: People wanting maximum drama and volume.
Double drawn hair is what you see on Instagram—perfectly uniform, incredibly full.
PART THREE: SIDE-BY-SIDE COMPARISON
SINGLE DRAWN: Root area some fullness variation, mid-length more natural taper, ends thinner than roots, installed look blends naturally, volume perception moderate, price point budget-friendly.
DOUBLE DRAWN: Root area maximum fullness, mid-length uniform thickness, ends blunt full edges, installed look dramatically full, volume perception very high, price point premium pricing.
Double drawn looks stunning in photos. Single drawn looks stunning on real people. Choose based on your goals.
PART FOUR: HOW TO CHOOSE
Choose Single Drawn If: You want a natural look, you want more affordable options, you prefer subtle volume enhancement, your natural hair has variation, you want realistic movement.
Choose Double Drawn If: You want dramatic volume, you want Instagram-level fullness, you prefer blunt polished ends, you're willing to invest more, you want maximum visual impact.
PART FIVE: Quality Doesn't Change
Important: Single vs. double drawn doesn't affect QUALITY of the hair itself. Both can be raw hair (highest quality), virgin hair (excellent quality), Remy hair (good quality), non-Remy hair (lower quality). Drawn refers to sorting process, not quality level.
PART SIX: Installation Impact
Single Drawn: Easier to blend because of natural variation, requires slightly less volume to look full, more forgiving of installation mistakes, looks natural faster.
Double Drawn: Takes more skill to blend properly, creates dramatic look even with smaller amount, shows installation quality more obviously, looks polished immediately.
BOTTOM LINE
Single drawn looks naturally beautiful. Double drawn looks dramatically stunning. Choose based on your vision: natural enhancement or salon-quality drama? At BLONC, we offer both. We'll recommend which suits your natural hair and goals.
