Match the blend area
Compare the remaining hair at the sides and back. A density that blends is usually more convincing than the fullest option.
DENSITY SELECTION GUIDE
Choose coverage that looks believable—not simply fuller.
Use the LHS 80%–130% working scale to compare visual fullness, blending direction, and base compatibility. The final choice should match the hair around the system and the intended style.
BEFORE YOU SELECT
Four rules for a more natural density decision
Treat percentages as a working scale
Density percentages are not identical across every supplier. Use the LHS labels consistently within this site and confirm custom specifications before production.
Consider base and ventilation
Fine, highly discreet bases often work best with restrained density, while more structured bases can support fuller visual coverage.
Plan the front transition
A gradual front can look more natural than using the same fullness everywhere, especially when the hairline may be exposed.

LHS scale note: the percentage is a planning reference inside this website. Final fullness also changes with hair length, texture, ventilation method, base construction, haircut, and styling.
DENSITY RANGE
How each level changes the visual direction
Light and discreet
More scalp visibility and softer volume. Often useful when the surrounding hair is fine or when a restrained result is preferred.
Balanced natural range
A practical starting range for many daily systems, balancing coverage, movement, and blending without excessive fullness.
Fuller visual coverage
A stronger volume direction for suitable surrounding hair, styles, and base constructions. It should still be checked against the blend area.
DENSITY + BASE
Use construction as a compatibility check
Natural transition and airflow
Lace can create a highly detailed front and strong airflow. Restrained to balanced density often preserves the fine visual effect.
EXPLORE LACEClean surface and controlled direction
Poly Skin can support a clean scalp-like visual. The appropriate fullness depends on skin thickness, ventilation method, and intended styling.
EXPLORE POLY SKINCOMMON MISTAKES
What to avoid before confirming density
Choosing maximum density because it seems more durable. Density alone does not determine system lifespan.
Ignoring the sides and back. The system should blend with the visible hair that remains.
Using one uniform density without considering a softer front transition or zone-specific requirements.
Assuming the same percentage means the same result across every supplier or base design.
NEXT STEP
Move from density planning to a confirmed specification
01
Review base material limits
Use the detailed material reference when construction and length limits need closer review.
02Find the right system family
Compare Lace and Poly Skin before deciding how much structure and airflow you need.
03Build a custom density request
Carry the selected density direction into Custom Order and confirm it with the LHS team.
