Water Wave Wigs
Water wave wigs in salt and pepper and gray blends - soft, flowing waves that fall like rippled water rather than defined curls.
Water wave is the middle ground between straight and curly. It has movement and body without the maintenance of a tight curl pattern, which is why it is the texture most first-time wig wearers get on with.
- Hangs about 2 to 2.5 inches shorter than the labelled length - a 14 inch water wave sits at around 11.5 inches
- Never dyed - white hair blended with naturally dark hair, no bleach and no toner
- 100% human hair - washable, heat-styleable, 8 to 12 months of regular wear

Length: what water wave actually does
Wig length is measured with the hair pulled straight, as it is across the industry. Because water wave curls, it hangs higher than the number on the label - by about 2 to 2.5 inches.
So a 14 inch water wave wig sits at roughly 11.5 inches on the body. Work backwards from where you want the hair to fall and add that difference.

Who it suits
- First-time wig wearers - it looks natural without needing to be styled
- Anyone whose own hair was wavy - it matches the movement you are used to
- Humid climates - wave hides frizz far better than straight hair does
Caring for water wave
Wash every 7 to 10 wears in cool water with a sulfate-free shampoo. Finger-detangle while damp with conditioner - never brush it dry, which flattens the wave pattern permanently.
Air dry on a stand and let the wave set as it dries. Scrunching lightly with a little curl cream while damp brings the pattern back if it has dropped.
Full care routine, including how to stop gray turning yellow.
Frequently asked questions
Will the wave stay after washing?
Yes. It is the hair's own pattern, not a set style. It tightens when wet and settles as it dries.
Can I straighten it?
Yes - it is 100% human hair. Keep the iron under 300°F and use a heat protectant. Straightened, it hangs at its full labelled length. Frequent heat loosens the wave over time.
How is water wave different from body wave?
Water wave has a tighter, more defined ripple. Body wave is looser and closer to a blow-dried wave. Both hang about the same amount shorter than labelled.
