Single Drawn vs. Double Drawn Bundles: What's the Difference?

Single drawn and double drawn are two of the most important words on a bundle label, and two of the most commonly ignored. After 21 years sourcing hair, I can tell you the difference between these two terms will affect how your bundle looks from root to tip — and what you should expect to pay.

PART ONE: What Single Drawn Means

Single drawn hair is sorted with less precision — the bundle contains a natural mix of shorter and longer strands within the stated length range. This creates a wispier, more tapered look at the ends, similar to how natural hair naturally thins out toward the tips.

PART TWO: What Double Drawn Means

Double drawn hair goes through an additional sorting process where shorter strands are removed, leaving a bundle where nearly every strand reaches the full stated length. The result is a thicker, fuller look from root to tip, with minimal tapering at the ends.

PART THREE: Which One Should You Choose

If you want hair that blends naturally and tapers the way real hair grows, single drawn is often the better, more budget-friendly choice. If you're after a thick, full, blunt-cut look — the kind you see in a lot of editorial or red carpet styling — double drawn delivers that density at the ends that single drawn simply can't.

"Double drawn isn't 'better' hair — it's a different finished look. The right choice depends entirely on the style you're going for."

BOTTOM LINE

Neither option is a quality shortcut; both can be excellent hair. The real question is whether you want a natural taper or maximum fullness at the ends, and pricing yourself accordingly.
