Choosing the Right Body wave for your hair piece

Choosing the correct wave or curl pattern for your system can be very confusing especially if you’re attempting to order a hair system without the help of a salon professional.  Generally speaking we all have a certain amount of wave or movement to our hair.  There are exceptions of course but those who have stick straight hair know who they are and there choice becomes an easy one.  For the rest of us it can be a big question. 

 

If you have considerably straight hair but your hair gets a little wavy in humid conditions or has some bounce to it when air dried then you will usually fall into the “Body Wave” or “Natural Wave” category.  This is a safe bet for most people as it does give the hair wearer the option for soft natural movement or the ability to restyle the hair with the use of thermal styling tools such as blow dryers and hot irons.  Once you start looking at your hair as having “Curl” it becomes more difficult to make the determination.  If you have a definite curl to your hair there are two ways to get a good idea of the curl pattern required. The first and easiest is to simply cut a complete curl, tape it to a piece of paper or an index card and send it along with your order.  Usually the person who edits your hair order will be able to determine the size of the curl required for your hair system.  The other way is to have someone take a ruler or tape measure and take a measurement of the inside of a curl and record the measurement the technician taking care of your order can then convert this into the centimeter size that the factory would need to use to create the curl required for your particular order.
