What Is a Body Wave?

This S pattern is present throughout the length of the hair extension.

Body wave hair is usually shiny and natural-looking in appearance.
It also blends with most hair patterns due to its relaxed texture.
What Is a Loose Wave?
Loose wave hair consists of tight curls that are huge in size.
While loose wave hair is quite shiny, it isnt as glossy as body wave hair.
Body Wave vs.
Loose Wave Hair
The biggest difference between body wave and loose wave hair is the curl pattern.
Loose wave hair is much curlier than body wave hair.
The curls in loose wave hair last longer than the ones on body wave hair, Simmons says.

Quality is also a major deal-breaker when looking for the right body wave or loose wave hair.
If it doesnt look or feel the way it should or you have doubts, dont buy it.
Post-installation care is key when it comes to keeping body and loose wave curls in check.
