Most people who land on our shop see the stock page: one texture, natural black, maybe a few shades at 18 inches. That is not the whole catalogue. Every texture we carry can be made to order in nine shades, and in lengths the stock page does not show.
This is the part of the shop nobody tells you about, so here it is in full.
The two made-to-order lines
There are two, and they are for different installs.
| Custom Color Bulk | Custom Color Wefted Bundles | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Loose bulk, no weft — braid it straight in | Wefted, sewn on a track — for sew-ins |
| Lengths | 12, 18, 24 inches | 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 inches |
| Price | $90 / $120 / $150 | $130 / $145 / $160 / $175 / $190 |
If you are doing boho knotless braids, you want bulk. If you are doing a sew-in, you want wefted bundles. We wrote the longer version of that decision in Human Braiding Hair Bundles: What 100g Really Gets You.
All seven textures
Every one of these can be ordered in any of the nine shades below:
- Deep wave — our best seller, a deep and even S-wave
- Deep curl — tighter and more defined than deep wave
- Body wave — the loosest of the set, closer to a soft bend
- Italian curl — a rounder, springier curl with more bounce
- Wet and wavy — the wave tightens when wet
- Water curl — sits between wavy and curly
- Burmese curl — the softest curl pattern we carry
If you are not sure which pattern suits what you have in mind, Braiding Hair Textures Compared puts them side by side.
The nine shades
These are the numbers you will see on every hair site, and they are not obvious if nobody has explained them:
- 1b — natural black
- 4 — medium brown
- 8 — light ash brown
- 27 — honey blonde
- 30 — auburn, a warm red-brown
- 350 — copper ginger, the bright one
- 613 — platinum blonde, the lightest we carry
- 99J — deep wine red
- burgundy — darker and more purple than 99J
Two of these get mixed constantly, and it is worth knowing the difference: 350 is orange-leaning copper, 99J is wine. They photograph very differently.
Mixing shades in one install is common — 350 with 613 running through it is one of the combinations we see most often in the salon.
What made to order actually means
These are not sitting on a shelf. The texture, length and shade you pick are put together for your order, which is why the range is this wide without us holding every combination in stock.
Two practical consequences:
- Order earlier than you would for a stock item. If you have an appointment date, work backwards from it.
- Order all your bundles at once. Ordering two now and two later means two separate production runs, and hair is a natural product — batches are not identical.
How many bundles
The same guidance applies as with our stock hair: one bundle for a light boho look, two to three for natural volume, four for very full. That means a made-to-order install lands roughly here:
| Look | Bulk 18" | Bulk 24" |
|---|---|---|
| Light boho (1) | $120 | $150 |
| Natural volume (2–3) | $240–$360 | $300–$450 |
| Very full (4) | $480 | $600 |
Free US shipping starts at $200, so most made-to-order baskets clear it. The full breakdown is in How Many Packs of Braiding Hair Do You Need?
When stock hair is the better call
We would rather say this than have you wait for no reason. If you want natural black, buy the stock product. It is the same hair, it ships from what we hold, and it costs the same. Made to order earns its wait when you want a shade or a length the stock page does not carry.
