Body Wave Human Hair Wigs | Lace Front & Closure

The Middle Texture

Body wave sits between straight and curly — big, loose waves with movement but no defined curl pattern. It's the texture that looks the most like what people mean when they say "I want my hair but better."

Practically speaking, it's also the most low-maintenance of the three. There's no pattern to define, so it doesn't shrink when it dries and it doesn't need a diffuser. Air-dry it, shake it out, done.

Our Body Wave Options

  • 13x4 lace front — part it, sweep it, or pull it into a low ponytail. See our 13x4 lace front wigs.
  • 4x4 closure — a defined part, lower price point. See our 4x4 closure wigs.
  • 180% or 210% density — body wave expands less than a curl, so 210% gives you noticeably more volume here.
  • 8–14 inch lengths.

Working With Waves

Body wave does one thing better than any other texture: it holds volume at the roots. Because the wave has movement without being tight, it creates visual fullness that straight hair can't — which means 180% density in body wave often looks like more than 210% in straight.

For styling: scrunch with a light mousse and let it air-dry for the most natural result. A diffuser on low speed will hold the wave longer. If you flat-iron it, know that the wave won't come back on the same strand — it needs a heat tool that reshapes it, like a large-barrel curling wand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Depth. Body wave has wide, loose S-pattern movement; deep wave has a tighter, more defined pattern. Body wave reads as relaxed and effortless, deep wave reads as polished and styled.

Not significantly. That's the main advantage over curly textures. Air-dry it and the wave stays close to how it looked wet.

Yes, with a large-barrel wand — 1.5 to 2 inches. If you use a small barrel you'll get tighter curls than the starting texture, and those won't relax back into body wave afterwards.

Very. It's forgiving, low-maintenance, and the most universally flattering texture — it suits most face shapes and works for both everyday and dressed-up looks.
