Bob wig Hair Texture

The Bob wig is really not a texture but a short wig and is available in textures such as straight, curly and wave.


Curly wig Hair Texture

Curly wigs can be short, medium or long wigs. They come in two kinds:

  • Kinky curly wig – has thick layered hair (unlike straight hair which falls smooth aside the head).
  • Jerry curly wig – is more smooth and has more small visible curls.

Wave wig Hair Texture

Wave wigs come in two kinds – Body Wave and Water Wave:

  • Body wave wig – has a big “S” shape, consisting of loose wave curls. People with body wave hair looks fashion and glamorous. Body wave locks tend to let you feel like standing on the seaside as the body wavy hairstyle will fly with the wind. No words can specifically describe how beautiful it is.
  • Water wave wig – refers to the kind of wig that is styled like the waves of water. In general, deep wave hair texture flows are smooth waves but they are much deeper than body wavy hair. This means deep wave hair tends to have tighter curls. A lot of people love wearing deep wave wig as it looks really luxurious and boosts your hairstyle.
