Single Drawn vs Double Drawn vs Super Double Drawn Hair

Single Drawn vs Double Drawn vs Super Double Drawn Hair

Single drawn hair keeps a natural mix of lengths so it tapers thinner toward the ends, double drawn has most short hairs removed so it stays thick from root to tip, and super double drawn is the fullest of all with nearly every short strand taken out for maximum thickness end to end. “Drawn” describes how uniform the lengths are in a bundle, and it is one of the biggest drivers of how thick a bundle looks and what it costs.

Quick orientation: single drawn for a natural taper and value, double drawn for thickness through the ends, super double drawn for the fullest, most premium look. Match the drawn type to how your clients wear the hair, because paying for double drawn only matters when the client wants full ends.

What “drawn” means

In any cut of hair, strands are naturally different lengths. “Drawn” refers to how much of the shorter hair has been removed so the bundle is uniform. More removal means a thicker, more consistent bundle from top to bottom — and more labour and raw hair used, which is why it costs more. It is separate from texture and grade; you can have single or double drawn hair in the same texture and quality.

Single drawn: natural taper and value

Single drawn hair contains a natural range of lengths, so a bundle is full at the top and tapers thinner toward the ends, much like natural hair grows. It is the most affordable option and looks realistic for clients who want a natural, lived-in finish rather than blunt, heavy ends. For layered styles and everyday looks, single drawn is often the practical, better-value choice, and it is the most common hair sold.

Double drawn: thick from root to tip

Double drawn hair has most of the shorter strands removed, so the bundle stays thick and full along its length and through the ends. It gives a fuller, more uniform look that suits clients who want dense, blunt, glamorous ends without adding extra bundles. Because more raw hair goes into each bundle and the sorting is labour-intensive, double drawn costs more — but it delivers visible thickness that single drawn cannot.

Super double drawn: the fullest, most premium

Super double drawn is the highest tier, with nearly all short hairs removed for maximum thickness from root to tip. It is the fullest, most premium option, chosen for the thickest, most uniform bundles and high-end units. It carries the highest price for the same reason — the most raw hair and the most sorting per bundle — so it suits clients and brands positioning at the top of the market who want unmistakable fullness.

Which drawn type to stock

Match the drawn type to demand, not prestige. Many clients are well served by single drawn, which offers a natural look at the best value, so it makes a sensible core. Add double drawn for clients who want thick ends and are willing to pay for it, and super double drawn only if you serve a premium segment that asks for it. Explaining the difference — and that thickness through the ends is what they are paying for — helps buyers choose and prevents returns. Setting your resale prices and margins around drawn type keeps the economics clear.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between single drawn and double drawn hair?

Single drawn hair keeps a natural mix of lengths, so a bundle tapers thinner toward the ends, while double drawn has most short strands removed so it stays thick from root to tip. Double drawn looks fuller and costs more because more raw hair and sorting go into each bundle; single drawn is more natural-looking and better value.

Is double drawn hair worth the extra cost?

Double drawn is worth it when the client wants thick, full ends without adding extra bundles — its uniform thickness is exactly what they are paying for. If the client prefers a natural taper or a layered style, single drawn looks realistic and costs less. Match the drawn type to the look the client wants rather than always buying up.

What is super double drawn hair?

Super double drawn is the highest tier of drawn hair, with nearly all short strands removed for maximum thickness from root to tip. It produces the fullest, most uniform bundles and carries the highest price because it uses the most raw hair and the most sorting. It suits premium units and clients who want unmistakable fullness.

Does drawn type affect texture or quality?

No — drawn type is about how uniform the lengths are in a bundle, separate from texture and grade. You can get single, double, or super double drawn hair in the same texture and the same quality. Drawn type changes thickness through the ends and price, not the fundamental character of the hair.
