This depends on the style of the wig. A few factors contribute to weight of a braid wig, there are; Density, Length, Lace material and Thickness of braids

Style: Braided wigs styles like micro needle twists and micro braids are our lightest braid wigs, because they are super tiny “needle” hence requires less extensions compared to wigs with more thickness to it such as box braids.

Length: As a general rule of thumb, the longer the unit the more weight it has to it. Although, length does not have much effect on some wigs such as our micro twists range, some cornrow and full lace knotless wigs.

Lace material: Lace front and closure wigs tend to have more weight to it than full lace wigs because the lace occupies a specific area on the cap and a breathable mesh cap is used to complete the wig. Braids are arranged strategically on the mesh cap in way that it doesn’t reveal the mesh cap when worn on the head. Whereas, full lace wigs are lace all through thus braids are arranged at equal densities throughout the wig.

Braid thickness: The chunkier the size of each braid on a wig, the more extension it consumes which in turn increases the weight.

We are experts at making braided wigs, therefore whichever style you purchase we ensure there is a balance in ratio and proportion of the braids such that the weight of the wig is within a comfortable range without compromising our standard quality. The approximate weight of each wig for an average length is stated in the description. We generally like to make our wigs as light and comfortable as possible so it can be worn comfortably throughout the day. We understand that weight of wig can be a tricky one because what is heavy for some is comfortable for others therefore if you’d like to discuss the weight and density of your wig before purchase, please do not hesitate to contact us.
