Virgin Deep Wave Hair Bundles

Deep wave bundles sit between a wave and a curl: a tight, defined S that holds its shape wet and dry. Deep wave hair is what you buy when you want visible pattern and volume rather than the soft movement of a body wave, and it is the texture that photographs with the most depth.

Deep wave comes in natural black, which is 100% virgin Brazilian human hair, and #2 chocolate brown. Every bundle weighs 100 grams. The wave is set with steam, not chemicals, which is why it springs back after a wash instead of loosening over a few weeks.

How to choose your length and color

The natural black bundle runs 10 to 32 inches. The #2 chocolate brown runs 16 to 24.

Buy longer than you want to see. Length is measured with the hair pulled straight, and deep wave is a tight enough pattern that a 20-inch bundle hangs closer to 18 once the curl springs up, and shorter again if you scrunch it tight. About two inches over your target is normal for this texture, and ordering short is the single most common mistake people make with it.

Matching deep wave closures run from 2x6 to 7x7, in HD lace and in transparent lace up to 5x5, and there are 13x4 and 13x6 deep wave frontals. There is also a #2 chocolate brown 5x5 transparent closure, so a brown install can be finished in the same shade rather than dyed to match.

For a three-bundle install, the Deep Wave 3 Bundle Deal is three bundles in three consecutive lengths, 100 grams each, for less than the same three bought separately: 16, 18 and 20 inches is $231 against $248 as singles.

Questions people ask about deep wave

What is deep wave hair?

Deep wave is a deep, uniform S-pattern that repeats in tight rows down the length of the hair. It is more defined than a body wave and looser than a curl, so it reads as a full, patterned wave rather than a ringlet. On virgin bundles the pattern is steamed in, so it survives washing.

Deep wave or water wave?

Deep wave runs in an S. Water wave runs in a spiral, twisting around itself rather than folding side to side, which makes it look wetter and more irregular. Deep wave is the more uniform and easier of the two to keep defined; water wave has more of a natural, undone finish and tangles a little more at the ends.

How long does a deep wave sew-in last?

Six to eight weeks in the hair. Past that the braids underneath start to matt at the base, and it is your own hair that pays for it, not the bundles. Taken down on schedule, one set goes back in three or four more times.

Why does deep wave get frizzy?

Dry detangling, almost every time. Detangle in sections with a wide-tooth comb from the ends up, and only when the hair is wet and slick with conditioner. Wash with sulfate-free shampoo, scrunch the water out rather than rubbing, air dry or diffuse on low, and use a leave-in and a light oil on damp hair. Bonnet or pineapple it at night, because friction on a pillowcase mattes the pattern at the nape.

For a looser, lower-effort version of the same idea, look at body wave; for a wider S with more swing, loose wave. Finish the install with a matching HD lace closure, or wear it as a deep wave headband wig with nothing sewn at all. Every texture sits together in virgin bundles.
