Body Wave Glueless Wig: Volume, Density and Care

Body wave glueless wig with soft volume, human hair

If you could only own one wig, body wave would be a strong choice. The loose, flowing S-waves look polished straight out of the box, sit somewhere between sleek and curly, and adapt to almost any occasion. This guide explains how to choose the right body wave glueless wig and how to keep it looking fresh.

A body wave glueless wig in 180% density and 14 to 18 inches suits most people. It looks full but natural, and the loose wave pattern hides the cap and lace without heavy styling.

Our Body Wave Wear and Go pairs pre-cut HD lace with a pre-plucked hairline, so it is ready to wear in minutes.

Who does body wave suit?

Nearly everyone. The soft waves add movement around the face without the shrinkage of tight curls, so the length you buy is close to the length you see.

  • Work to weekend. It reads polished at the office and relaxed on days off.
  • All face shapes. Waves soften strong jawlines and add width to long faces.
  • Easy styling. It can be straightened, curled tighter or pulled into a ponytail.

180% or 200% density: which should you pick?

180% looks like naturally full hair and feels lighter. 200% looks thicker and more glam. For everyday wear, most people prefer 180%.

Density Look Best for
180% Full but natural Daily wear, lighter feel
200% Thick and voluminous Events, glam looks, longer lengths

If you want a long, ear-to-ear body wave with maximum fullness, the Body Wave 13x6 comes in 200% density and 18 to 24 inches.

What length should you choose?

14 to 16 inches lands around the shoulders to collarbone, the most wearable range. 18 inches and up gives a long, flowing look.

Body wave has little shrinkage, so the stretched length is close to how it hangs. If you are unsure, go with the length you would wear your own hair.

How do you install a body wave glueless wig?

Flatten your hair, place the pre-cut lace at your hairline, tighten the band, press in the combs and lay the lace with a soft band.

  1. Prep. Braid or slick your hair flat and wear a wig cap close to your skin tone.
  2. Place. Line the lace just in front of your natural hairline.
  3. Secure. Tighten the adjustable band and slide the combs into your braids.
  4. Lay. Tie a soft band over the lace for a few minutes so it lies flat.
  5. Style. Pick your part and shake out the waves.

How do you keep body waves soft?

Wash every 7 to 10 wears, deep condition weekly, and avoid brushing dry waves. Refresh with water and a little leave-in.

  • Detangle with a wide-tooth comb from ends to roots.
  • Air dry on a stand to let the waves set.
  • To revive the pattern, wet the hair, add leave-in and scrunch.
  • Use a heat protectant before any hot tools.

Body wave vs deep wave: which is easier?

Body wave is easier day to day. Deep wave has more volume but needs more moisture to stay defined.

See how they compare in our deep wave wig guide.

Does body wave hair lose its wave?

Washing and air drying brings the pattern back. Frequent straightening can loosen it over time.

Can I curl a body wave wig?

Yes. Use a heat protectant and medium heat for tighter curls.

Is body wave good for beginners?

Yes. Pre-cut lace and the loose pattern make it easy to install and style.

Does it shed or tangle?

Light shedding is normal for any human hair wig. Gentle detangling and conditioning keep it to a minimum.
