What is water wave hair?

Water wave hair is a hair type that comes with tight and irregular curls. The wavy pattern of water wave hair looks like the waves flowing on the water's surface.

This magic is now not a secret, spraying a small of water onto the water wave wig, and the hair turns to a wet and wavy texture. It's a funny and safe wig game to create a sleek and sexy wet look without any heat treatment within a few seconds.

Water wave vs. deep wave

Deep wave hair comes with neat and tight curls. Both deep wave hair and water wave hair all work to add volume and length to one's hair look. 

The primary difference between water wave hair and deep wave hair is that the curl patterns of water wave hair are irregular and flow in different directions. Which makes the water wave hair looks more voluminous and fluffy than deep wave hair. 

What's more, the irregular water wave hair tends to appear a messy but lazy touch. While the deep wave hair with neat and tight curls appears more in a cool but sexy style. 

Water wave vs. loose wave

Some may be wondering if deep wave and water wave are the same? The truth is that they sometimes look similar in the images but they are definitely different wave styles.

And loose wave hair is suitable for all occasions. No matter if you buying a wig for a date or a vacation, this hairstyle can handle it well. It not only brings you a beautiful and voluminous hair look but is also easy to maintain and long-lasting.

How to maintain water wave hair?

Caring for water wave wigs is very similar to caring for your own hair. 

Right hair care products:

A wide-tooth comb: Compared with flat combs, a wide-tooth comb can help to maintain the curl patterns.

Mild shampoo and hair conditioner for curly hair: Pick a mild sulfate-free shampoo and hair conditioner for hair cleaning. 

Natural hair oil, such as coconut oil: Apply a small amount of hair oil onto the wig can help to maintain shine and nourish the hair.

Hair mask for curly hair: Curly hair is typically more fragile than unprocessed hair. It's also a sensible choice to pick out a hair mask and make a deep condition 1-2 a month.

Wash less: 
If you plan on wearing your water wave hair regularly, plan to wash your extensions no more than once a week.

Store correctly: 
Set the curly wig on a wig stand when you don't wear it.

Less heat styling: 
Avoid excess heat or chemical treatment while styling your curly wig. Let the wig air dry instead of blowing with a hair dryer can also help to prolong the lifespan of the water wave wig.
