Your wefts sew onto cornrowed tracks below, this square governs the part, and every hair you grew stays braided and safe underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Wave Grown In Rather Than Rolled In\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYou get the open S-swing the moment you unwrap it, with no wand and no rollers anywhere in the process. A wavy strand comes off a flatter, oval follicle where a straight one grows from a round cross-section, so the movement was set the day the hair grew and it carries that bend for good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRinse It and the Swing Comes Home\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHere's the quiet luxury of a loose wave. A hot tool merely leases the smooth, it never keeps it, because the sleek rides on the strand's weak, reversible side bonds that water and heat unsettle. The wave itself sits on the deep permanent links a chemical relaxer would have to break, so it's the shape the fiber keeps falling back into. Rinse it, leave it to dry in the open air, and the swing rebuilds itself with no nightly re-curling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Clear Mesh That Borrows Your Scalp\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTransparent lace ships with no dye worked in, so it picks up the tone of whatever scalp it settles on rather than asking you to match a color first, and that skips the tea-stain step a darker base wants. On a 5x5 that matters across a full square of part window, because the more parting skin the lace covers, the more it needs to read as your own scalp corner to corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVirgin 1B, Wear It or Lift It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis 1B has had nothing done to it, neither color nor lift, so the strand's pigment sits whole and even end to end. Wear the soft off-black exactly as it ships, and if you'd rather go brighter, the color travels cleanly right through to a honey blonde with the wave's light-and-shadow movement holding through the change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGive That Rides Out a Sew-In\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSound virgin hair answers a tug by stretching and recoiling rather than fraying off, and that recoil is what lets the body wave shrug off a daily re-part and weeks of a sew-in's tug without dropping slack at the ends. It is the same springback \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/locksofhair.com\/blogs\/hair-education\/how-to-take-care-of-your-hair-extensions\"\u003ethat keeps a moving centre part from ever wearing thin\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwenty-Five Square Inches to Move the Part\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe five-inch square hands you a part to sweep down the center, deep to a side, or off a corner, and because a body wave falls in a loose open bend it drapes over the new line instead of laying a flat, pressed seam a tighter pattern would. Wider than a 4x4, so the parting can move day to day and the wave just folds around it on the one closure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Inch You Pick Is the Inch It Hangs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA loose bend keeps most of its length on the head, hanging near its measured inch and dropping only a touch, so a 14, 16, 18, or 20 lands about where you'd read it instead of springing up short the way a tight coil does. Choose the inch that ends level with your matching body-wave tracks so the whole install falls together as one head of soft, moving hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ctable class=\"specs-table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"spec-header\"\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"spec-header\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eHair Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003e100% Virgin Human Hair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eTexture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eBody Wave\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eLace Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003e5x5 Transparent Lace Closure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eLace Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eTransparent Lace – creates a seamless blend\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eNatural Black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eColoring Capability\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eCan be lifted to Honey Blonde\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eHeat Styling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eHeat friendly – curl or straighten as desired\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003e14\", 16\", 18\", 20\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eRecommended Use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003ePerfect for sew-ins \u0026amp; custom wigs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Transparent on a 5x5\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive inches square is a fair amount of lace to lay flat across the crown, and that's where a clear grade beats HD. It's a touch more substantial than the wispy HD film, so over a part this wide it keeps its form as you seat it, settles down without buckling, and gives the knots a steadier footing all the way to the corners. HD's near-invisibility comes with fussy, easily-distorted material, and the bigger the square, the more that fight costs you. On a #1B base a clear mesh already reads quiet against the scalp, so across the whole five-inch window you land a flat, clean part you didn't have to wrestle into place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIt Finishes the Order, It Doesn't Replace It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA closure caps the part while leaving the rest of the head to the \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/hair-extension-glossary#weft\"\u003ewefts\u003c\/a\u003e. The 5x5 square runs the crown, while everything sitting behind it comes from your own wefts stitched to the \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/hair-extension-glossary#track\"\u003etracks\u003c\/a\u003e or the body of a custom unit built out from this front section. So the real call is the whole set rather than this one square. Run it against matching body wave bundles in the same untouched #1B, and the soft open bend is forgiving right where lace meets weft, a loose wave easing over that seam far more readily than a dense coil, so the line where the closure hands off settles in with no visible step. Pick the inch, 14, 16, 18, or 20, that drops the closure even with those wefts instead of short above them, and the crown carries its body-wave swing unbroken from the lace edge down through the length, with no seam giving you away.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Locks of Hair","offers":[{"title":"14\"","offer_id":45565171466300,"sku":"BRAZ-TRANS-CLO-BW-5x5-14","price":102.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16\"","offer_id":45565171499068,"sku":"BRAZ-TRANS-CLO-BW-5x5-16","price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\"","offer_id":45565171531836,"sku":"BRAZ-TRANS-CLO-BW-5x5-18","price":113.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20\"","offer_id":45565171564604,"sku":"BRAZ-TRANS-CLO-BW-5x5-20","price":126.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0629\/2294\/8668\/files\/hair-extensions-body-wave-5x5-transparent-lace-closure-natural-black-1b-0.jpg?v=1783781132","url":"https:\/\/locksofhair.com\/products\/hair-extensions-body-wave-5x5-transparent-lace-closure-natural-black-1b","provider":"Locks of Hair","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
