Body Wave Human Hair Bundles - Singles & 3-Bundle Sets

Body wave is the most wearable texture there is — a soft, open S-wave that adds movement and body without committing you to a curl. It blends easily with natural hair, it photographs well, and it looks styled on the days you've done nothing to it.

These are human hair wefts in natural black, available as single bundles or as three-bundle sets, in lengths from 8 inches through to 24. Sewn, bonded or clipped into your own hair, they add thickness and length that moves the way your hair does — no cap, no lace to lay, no hairline to match.

The short lengths are the useful bit

Most bundle listings start at 16 inches, because most people buying extensions want length. Starting at 8 inches opens up something different: adding thickness without length.

An 8" or 10" weft sits underneath your existing hair and fills it out — fuller ponytails, more body through a bob, thicker ends on hair that's grown out thin. Nobody sees extra length because there isn't any; the hair just looks like there's more of it. It's also the cheapest way into extensions if you're not sure they're for you.

Singles or sets

• Single bundles — buy exactly what you need. One for a top-up, or build your own combination.
• Three-bundle sets — the standard full head, in graduated lengths. The 12/14/16 set gives a shorter layered install; the 18/20/22 set covers mid-back length. Both work out cheaper than buying the three lengths separately.

Graduated sets give you built-in layers — shortest underneath, longest on top — so you get a natural shape without a stylist cutting layers in afterwards.

Why bundles rather than a wig

• They blend with your own hair. Your parting is your parting, your hairline is your hairline. Nothing to match, no lace to spot.
• You control the density. Add a bundle for more, hold one back for less.
• They're reusable. Take them out, wash them, reinstall.
• They're cheaper per install. No cap or frontal to pay for, and a good sew-in lasts six to eight weeks.
• They take colour going darker. Natural black can be dyed to browns and darker shades. It won't lift lighter without bleaching, so start with a lighter base if you want blonde.

Installation

Wefts can be sewn onto braided cornrows for the longest-lasting install, bonded with adhesive for a faster one, or sewn onto clips to make removable pieces you take out each night. A sew-in is best left to a stylist unless you've done it before; clip-ins you can make up yourself in an evening.

Care

Wash every couple of weeks, or sooner with heavy product use. Sulphate-free shampoo, condition through the mid-lengths and ends rather than the tracks, and air dry where you can. Detangle from the ends upward with a wide-tooth comb, and never brush the waves out dry. Use a heat protectant before hot tools and keep temperatures moderate — the hair isn't attached to a scalp producing new oils, so it doesn't recover the way your own hair does. Tie it up or braid it loosely at night to stop the ends rubbing.

Real hair, in the length and quantity you actually need.
