_By **Nicole Zerafa**, Original Diva Hair Extensions, Hunters Hill Sydney. Last updated: 19 October 2026._

The amount of length and volume extensions can add depends on your natural hair, the product and its placement. Nicole Zerafa has specialised in extensions since 2000 and founded Original Diva in 2006. This guide explains the difference between adding targeted fullness and creating a longer overall shape.

## Extensions for volume

Choose the added weight according to the hair that will support it. There is no reliable pack count for every fine, medium or thick-haired client, and pack sizes differ between products.

Original Diva’s 20-inch [thickening pieces](/product/thickening-clip-in-pieces/) come in 30g, 60g and 90g options. Full [Short to Long Box Sets](/product/short-to-long-clip-in-box-set/) are 120g, 150g or 180g. For fitted hair, ask a professional to assess the method and quantity rather than adding weight to meet a standard full-head rule.

## Extensions for Length

Original Diva tape extensions are available in 20-inch and 22-inch lengths. Micro ring / I-Tip, weft, the One Piece–Three Piece clip-in set and thickening pieces use 20-inch hair. The Short to Long Box Set uses 20-inch hair in all three set sizes: 120g / 5 pieces, 150g / 6 pieces or 180g / 8 pieces, with every listed colour offered across all three. The visible length added depends on your starting hair and placement.

## Realistic Expectations

Extensions work best when they enhance what’s already there, not compensate for heavily damaged or extremely thin natural hair. If your hair is under stress (breakage, chemically damaged, very thin at the roots), extensions may make things worse. Nicole will tell you honestly at your consultation if your hair needs attention before extensions. That’s what a real specialist does.
