One Drawn vs. Double Drawn vs. Super Double Drawn vs. Same Length Extensions – What’s the Real Difference?
One Drawn vs. Double Drawn vs. Super Double Drawn vs. Same Length Extensions – Summary
Throughout my years as a hair extension stylist, I’ve received countless questions about which type is “the best.” Some believe One Drawn is best for thin hair, others don’t understand the difference between Double Drawn and Super Double Drawn.
After explaining this hundreds of times — and watching clients’ shocked faces when they finally understand — I decided to put everything into this blog.
So here it is:
My honest guide, stylist to customer, so you can make the right choice for your dream hair. 💛✨
Why am I writing this blog?
Clients ask me the same questions all the time during appointments:“What type of hair do you sell?” “I heard One Drawn is the best — is that true?”
Or they send messages because they’re overwhelmed by all the different options online.
Whenever I explain the differences, I usually see wide eyes, dropped jaws — and many clients realizing they were sold something completely different than what they thought they were buying. Several have told me: “You HAVE to write a blog about this!”
So here it is — the blog I’ve been meaning to write for a very long time.
What’s the difference between the hair types?
One Drawn — “The Budget Option”
One Drawn extensions are the simplest and cheapest option on the market. The hair has only been brushed once, which means:
- It contains a mix of short and long strands
- The ends are thin, because much of the length is made up of shorter hairs
- You lose a lot of hair when preparing it for installation
It may sound fine at first, but most clients end up disappointed when the ends become thin very quickly.

Double Drawn — “The Sweet Spot”
Double Drawn extensions go through an extra refining process where shorter hairs are removed. This results in:
- A more even thickness throughout the length
- Fuller hair than One Drawn, but still a slight taper toward the ends
- Less hair shedding during wear and styling
It’s a great choice if you want a balance between quality and price.

Super Double Drawn — “The Queen of Fullness”
Super Double Drawn is the type we sell the most of — for good reason. This hair is thoroughly sorted to remove as many short hairs as possible.
That gives you:
- Thick, full hair from root to tip
- Minimal shedding during styling
- A natural, healthy, luxurious look
If you want extensions that truly look like naturally thick hair — without having to cut off the ends — Super Double Drawn is the best choice.
Same Length (Equal Ratio) — “For the Ultra-Picky”
Same Length hair is for clients who want maximum density from top to bottom.
This means:
- Every strand is the same length
- Zero natural tapering at the ends
While this sounds perfect, we only order it upon request — and honestly, we often have to thin it out to make it look natural.
Client Stories — When the Truth Hurts a Little
I’ll never forget one client who told me:
“I bought One Drawn because they said it was best for thin hair.”
When we prepared it for installation, the ends were so thin we had to cut nearly 10 cm just to make it look natural. She was shocked:
“Why does nobody talk about this!?”
So here I am — explaining it my way, once and for all. 😊
So, what should YOU choose?
Here’s a simple cheat-sheet: ✅ Maximum fullness & most natural look Choose Super Double Drawn. ✅ Thickest possible extension from root to tip, Choose Same Length
(But be aware it may need thinning to look natural.)
✅ Best balance of price vs. fullness, Choose Double Drawn
❌ Want to avoid thin ends and heavy shedding?

Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between One Drawn and Double Drawn?
One Drawn is brushed once and has a mix of short and long strands, giving it thin ends. Double Drawn has had the shortest strands removed, resulting in more even thickness throughout the length.
What is Super Double Drawn?
Hair with as many short strands as possible removed. This gives an even, full thickness from root to tip and minimal shedding during styling. It’s the type Royal Hair sells the most.
What does Same Length mean?
All the hair in the extension is the same length, for maximum density from top to bottom. It is usually ordered on request and often needs to be thinned slightly to look natural.
Is One Drawn best for fine hair?
Not necessarily. One Drawn has thin ends, and much of the hair can fall out when it is prepared for application. If you want maximum fullness and a natural result, Super Double Drawn is the best option.
