Deep Wave Bulk Human Braiding Hair

Use human hair with a curl that holds its shape, because the loose pieces take constant friction. Deep wave braiding hair is the most requested choice for its defined S-pattern. Water wave gives a softer look that changes when wet, and Burmese curly gives fuller, rounder curls. Synthetic curls tend to mat within a couple of weeks.

It depends on how the braid is built. If the whole braid is human hair, plan on about 350 to 450 grams, which is 4 to 5 of our 100-gram deep wave bundles. If the braid body is synthetic and deep wave is only the loose curls, 1 to 2 bundles is enough. Add one bundle past 24 inches.

Two things shorten it. Bulk hair folds at the root, so a 20-inch bundle hangs about 10 inches from the braid, and deep wave takes back roughly a quarter of its length to the wave. A 20-inch deep wave bundle wears at about 7.5 inches in a folded install, so order longer than you want to see.

Just the curls is what most stylists do. The braid body is under tension and mostly hidden, so pre-stretched synthetic does that job, while the loose curls take the friction and decide how the style looks by week four. A mixed install uses 1 to 2 bundles of human hair instead of 4 to 5 and costs far less.

Deep wave braiding hair has a tighter, more uniform S-pattern that stays defined when dry. Water wave is looser and springs back into a curl whenever it gets damp. Deep wave gives you a consistent look; water wave changes through the week.

Deep wave is the most requested texture for boho braids because the curl is defined enough to look intentional but loose enough to look undone. For tighter, springier ends choose latin wave or kinky curly; for a looser finish choose ocean wave.

1B braiding hair is natural black, a soft off-black with a slightly warm cast rather than a flat jet black. It is the shade closest to most natural hair, which is why 1B is the default color for braiding hair and the easiest to blend.

Yes. Because this is virgin human braiding hair it takes color, and it will lift to about a #27 honey blonde. Lifting past that risks the integrity of the hair. For a lighter shade with no processing, start from our color 613 blonde braiding hair.

Yes. Mayvenn bulk braiding hair is 100% virgin human hair, not synthetic and not a human-synthetic blend. Virgin means it has not been chemically processed before it reaches you, which is why it takes heat, holds a curl and washes like your own hair.

Bulk braiding hair is hair sold loose, with no weft or track sewn along the top. Because there is no weft to cut away, bulk hair feeds straight into a braid, which is why it is the standard format for boho, knotless and goddess braids.

Boho braids made with human braiding hair usually last 4 to 6 weeks. The braids themselves hold longer than that, but new growth at the root is what decides the timing. The human hair can then be washed and reused for a second install.

Yes. Human braiding hair can be washed and reused, which is its main advantage over synthetic. After takedown, shampoo and condition gently in the direction of the strand, let it air dry fully, and store it loosely braided or in a satin bag.
