Wavy hair extensions & wavy extensions (Body Wave)

Wavy extensions – also called Body Wave – have soft, natural waves with a long wavelength and a light, lively movement. They resemble beach waves or hair after a soft curl and are one of our most versatile textures. Our wavy extensions are real hair, so you can straighten them, enhance the waves and colour them like your own hair. Here we go through who wavy extensions suit, which methods work, how to style the waves and how to care for the hair so it keeps its shape and shine.

Why choose wavy extensions?
Wavy extensions are a good middle ground between straight extensions and curly extensions. They blend into straight hair with a little movement, into naturally wavy hair and into slightly curly hair. Many people who want to switch between a sleek and a wavy look choose wavy, because it needs the least styling in either direction. If you straighten the hair, the waves come back the next time you wash it, and if you want more texture you can enhance the waves.

Who is Body Wave for?
Body Wave suits you if you have straight, wavy or slightly curly hair of your own and want more movement and volume. If your hair has clear, tight curls, the result is usually better with curly or Deep Wave extensions, and if you have relaxed or blow-dried Afro hair, Yaki may be the right choice. Look at how your hair looks when it air-dries – that is the easiest route to a natural match. If you want maximum flexibility, wavy is a good choice, since it can be both straightened and curled. To compare all the options in one place, see our hair textures. If the wave pattern and colour match, wavy extensions blend in naturally with your own hair, and we are happy to help you with the matching.

Methods for wavy extensions
Wavy extensions work with all our hair extension methods: tape, keratin, micro rings, micro weft, butterfly weft, invisible weft and sew-in, plus clip-in, halo and ponytail for you who want to put the hair in yourself. Tape is moved up every 8–10 weeks, micro rings, micro weft and sew-in every 2–3 months, and keratin stays in for 3–4 months before reinstallation. We choose the method based on the thickness and condition of your hair and on how you live – book a consultation and we will recommend the right method for you. You can see what the methods cost under hair extension prices.

Qualities, lengths and colours
We have real hair extensions in the qualities Classic, Premium and Luxury, where Luxury is our best quality and lasts the longest with the right care, and Premium and Luxury are Remy hair. Wavy extensions come in lengths up to 70 cm, and the length is always measured as straight hair. The range of colours and lengths varies between products, so check each product for what is available right now. You will find every shade in the colour chart.

Styling wavy extensions
Real wavy extensions can be heat-styled. If you want them straight, use a flat iron with heat protection on low to medium heat, and the waves come back the next time the hair is washed. To enhance the waves you can use a curling iron on selected sections, a texture spray or sea salt spray, or a curl cream such as KIS Dafrizz curl cream. You can also braid the hair while it is damp and let it dry for soft waves without heat. Our real wavy extensions can be coloured both darker and lighter, and we recommend having a stylist do it to preserve the wave pattern. Synthetic extensions cannot be coloured.

Caring for wavy extensions
Wavy hair loses moisture a little faster than straight hair, so a hair mask or leave-in once a week helps the waves keep their shape and shine. Wash with a sulphate-free shampoo, ideally KIS KeraMoist or KIS Kurl for more defined waves, pat dry with a towel and let the hair air-dry if you can. Always comb when damp with a wide-tooth comb, starting at the ends, and braid the hair loosely or wear a silk bonnet at night. How long wavy extensions last depends on quality, method and care – with the right care, Luxury lasts the longest.
