Super Double Drawn Hair: The Secret to Fuller Ends

Super double drawn hair is a premium density grade in which most short strands are removed, so each bundle keeps fuller ends from top to bottom. For wholesale buyers, that fuller edge can lift the value of a collection, but it also raises the cost per bundle. Many importers pay for the grade without knowing how it is measured. This guide explains what the grade means, how it compares with double drawn hair, and which checks protect a bulk order.

What Is Super Double Drawn Hair?

Super double drawn hair is hair that has been drawn repeatedly until most strands in a bundle sit close to the full stated length. The short strands are removed, so the bottom edge looks thick and nearly blunt. Industry sources commonly quote a long strand ratio of 80% to 90% for this grade, although each supplier sets its own standard. Because the figure is not regulated, ask for the grading method in writing.

Think of the grade as a ratio on a spec sheet. A 100g bundle starts as raw ponytail hair with strands of mixed lengths. Each drawing pass pulls out more of the shorter strands, which leaves a higher share of long strands and fuller ends. The process also removes weight, so the factory needs more raw ponytail to finish one bundle.

Super double drawn hair describes strand length distribution only. It is a density grade, not a hair origin or a processing classification. A bundle can be raw, steam styled, or chemically treated and still carry the same label, so origin and grade must be checked on separate lines.

What Are the Key Characteristics of Super Double Drawn Hair?

The grade brings clear commercial benefits, but it also carries real costs. The sections below weigh both sides so you can price your collection with confidence.

Advantages of Super Double Drawn Hair

Fuller ends are the main reason buyers request this grade, and several practical gains follow from them.

• Fuller, thicker ends with less tapering, which suits blunt cuts.
• More uniform density from the weft to the tips, so styled hair looks even.
• Fewer bundles may be needed to reach the target fullness, depending on length and installation method.
• A premium position in your catalog, which supports higher resale prices.

These gains are most visible on straight and body wave textures at 18 inches (46cm) and above. On shorter lengths, the difference from a lower grade is easier to miss.

Disadvantages of Super Double Drawn Hair

The same sorting that creates fuller ends also creates the main drawbacks of the grade.

• Higher production cost, because drawing removes hair and adds labor time.
• Higher wholesale prices than comparable single-drawn or double-drawn hair.
• A less natural look for clients who prefer softly tapered ends.
• Durability that still depends on hair origin, processing, and quality control, not on the grade.

For this reason, super double drawn hair suits buyers who can pass the extra cost on to the end customer. If your margins are thin, a lower grade may protect your pricing better.

Suitable Hair Extensions, Bundles, and Wigs

Once you know the trade-offs, the next step is matching the grade to the right products.

• Straight and body wave weft bundles that need fuller ends.
• Wigs that require consistent density throughout the length.
• Premium clip-in, tape-in, and keratin tip extensions for volume-focused clients.

Vietlink Hair insight: Super double drawn hair describes strand length distribution, not overall hair quality. Check end fullness, bundle weight, and processing standards as three separate items before you approve a bulk order.

Difference Between Double Drawn and Super Double Drawn Hair

Most buyers choose between these two grades, so a side-by-side comparison makes the decision easier.

Single drawn hair keeps a natural taper at the ends. Double drawn hair adds a second drawing pass for a fuller edge. Super double drawn hair goes one step further and removes more short strands, which gives the thickest bottom edge of the three.

Factor	Double Drawn (DD)	Super Double Drawn (SDD)
Typical long strand ratio	60% to 70%	80% to 90%
End fullness	Moderately full	Fuller and more uniform
Short strands	More present	Fewer after extra sorting
Raw ponytail needed	Moderate	Higher
Sorting requirements	Moderate	More intensive
Relative cost	Generally lower	Generally higher
Target market	Mid range	Premium

Strand length percentages are commonly quoted industry ranges and vary by supplier. Confirm the grading standard before ordering.

The right choice depends on your customer. If your clients wear blunt bobs or want volume at the ends, super double drawn hair can justify its price. If they want a natural look at a mid-range price, double drawn hair is usually the better fit. For long layered styles, however, the extra fullness may add weight without adding visible value.

Use these segment rules as a starting point:

• Salon owners: choose super double-drawn hair for clients who want blunt, voluminous styles and will pay a premium.
• Distributors: keep one core grade in stock, then add the higher grade as a limited premium line to reduce dead stock.
• Wig and extension brands: test double drawn and super double drawn hair side by side, then assign each grade to a product line.
• Private label buyers: pick the grade that matches your price tier, because a premium label with thin ends will hurt repeat orders.

What Makes Super Double Drawn Vietnamese Hair Different?

Grade explains length, while origin explains almost everything else. That is why Vietnamese sourcing deserves its own section.

Vietnamese hair is collected from donors in Vietnam, then sorted by length and texture in the factory. It is typically fine to medium in strand thickness and is often sold in straight and wavy textures. Super double-drawn Vietnamese hair combines that origin with the sorting grade, but you must verify the two properties independently.

Four common labels often get mixed up with the drawn grade. Definitions vary by supplier, so confirm each one in writing.

• Raw hair: collected from donors and kept unprocessed, with cuticles intact and aligned in one direction.
• Virgin hair: not chemically treated, although cuticle alignment may not be confirmed.
• Remy hair: cuticles aligned from root to tip, although the hair may have been processed.
• Super double drawn: describes length only, and can apply to any of the three.

Because these labels answer different questions, one product can carry several of them at once. Raw super double drawn Vietnamese hair, for example, tells you the length distribution and the processing history together.

Price gaps between suppliers usually come from a few visible factors. Length matters most, since only long ponytails can supply long strands, and cost rises with every inch. Single donor lots cost more than mixed lots, and steam-styled textures add processing steps. Because super double drawn hair loses more material during sorting, a quote that looks very low often points to a weaker long strand ratio.

Before you place a wholesale order, verify these specifications:

• Hair origin and donor type, either single donor or mixed lot.
• Drawn grade and the long strand ratio, measured on a sample.
• Length in inches and net weight in grams.
• Texture, either natural pattern or steam-styled.
• Color and any processing history, including bleaching.

How to Identify Genuine Super Double Drawn Hair

Labels are easy to print, so verification has to happen on a physical sample. Use the three checks below before you commit to volume.

Check End Thickness and Strand Distribution

Start with the ends, because that is where the grade either shows or fails.

• Hold the bundle up and inspect the ends for consistent fullness.
• Pull a small section and count how many strands fall short of the main length.
• Ask the supplier how the long strand ratio is measured and recorded.
• Avoid relying on photographs alone, since lighting can hide thin tips.

Verify Bundle Length, Weight, and Weft Quality

Fullness means little if the bundle is underweight or the weft sheds.

• Confirm the stated length in inches (cm) and the net weight in grams against the quote.
• Inspect the weft for loose threads, shedding, and uneven density.
• Compare the sample with the written product specification, line by line.

Request Samples Before Bulk Orders

A sample is the lowest-cost protection in wholesale sourcing.

• Wash the sample, then check texture, tangling, and shedding.
• Compare several bundles from the same batch for consistent ends.
• Keep the approved sample as a reference for bulk production.

Most disputes over this grade trace back to a few avoidable errors:

• Approving a sample from one batch and receiving bulk hair from another.
• Comparing prices without comparing long strand ratios.
• Skipping the wash test, even though a silicone coat can make strands look smooth until the first wash.

Treat origin, processing, and grade as three separate checks, and record each one on the purchase order.

Vietlink Hair insight: Ask for a close-up photo of the ends, not only the top of the bundle. A weft can look full at the root and thin at the tips.

FAQs

These are the questions wholesale buyers raise most often before a first order.

What Is Super Double Drawn Hair?

Buyers new to drawn grades usually start here.

Super double drawn hair is hair sorted to remove most short strands, which gives bundles fuller ends and a higher long strand ratio. It describes length distribution, not hair origin or processing.

Is Super Double Drawn Hair Better Than Double Drawn Hair?

The answer depends on what your customer values most.

Super double drawn hair offers fuller ends but costs more per bundle. Double drawn hair gives a balanced edge at a lower price. Match the grade to your end customer’s style, budget, and preferred finish.

Is Super Double Drawn Hair Full From Root to Tip?

The label sounds absolute, but it does not describe every strand.

The grade does not mean all strands are identical in length. A small share of shorter strands remains, and the ratio varies by supplier. Ask for the measured long strand ratio instead of relying on the name.

Does Super Double Drawn Hair Last Longer?

Lifespan is a common concern for buyers who resell to salons.

Longevity depends on hair quality, processing, installation, and maintenance, not on the grade. Raw hair with intact cuticles that is washed gently and air-dried usually lasts longer than treated hair. Heat and harsh products shorten the life of any grade.

How Many Bundles Are Needed for a Full Installation?

Bundle count depends on several variables, so there is no single answer.

Hair length, bundle weight, desired fullness, and installation method all change the number. Longer lengths often need more bundles for the same visual density. Because super double drawn hair has fuller ends, some installations may need fewer bundles than with a lower grade. A stylist should confirm the count after assessing the client.

Final Thoughts 

Super double drawn hair gives fuller, more uniform ends, but it costs more and does not describe quality on its own. Verify density, origin, processing, and specifications as separate items. Test a washed sample, compare bundles from one batch, and keep the approved sample as your reference.
