That's room to shift the part: center it one week, take it side the next, angle it toward a corner after that, all on one base and all landing on film. It tops the crown right where your loose wave bundles leave off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLoose Wave With Space to Fan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe texture is the open, easy bend, all body and swing and nothing wound tight. A block this size gives that wave both sides of a seam to fall across, so drop the part anywhere along the film and the hair spreads relaxed and worn-in rather than mashed down flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrinks a Leave-In Like Your Own Hair\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDraw two fingers along a strand from tip toward the root and virgin hair slides smooth, because the outside was never scuffed open by processing. A sealed surface like that holds water and conditioner in instead of shedding it straight off, and in plain terms that's a strand that doesn't drink and drink without ever staying wet. It's why a leave-in combed through damp keeps the wave defined between washes rather than drying out and frizzing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWefts Cut a Touch Long\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMeant for braiding down and stitching in: your bundles sew onto cornrowed tracks with the wefts run a quarter to half an inch past each track so the ends tuck clean, while the closure finishes the parting on top. That's the step that gets a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/locksofhair.com\/blogs\/hair-education\/sew-in-hair-extensions-the-ultimate-guide-to-a-flawless-install\"\u003esew-in lying flat and finished\u003c\/a\u003e, your own edges braided safe underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Compact Field of HD to Vanish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHD knots onto a thinner thread than a standard or clear grade, sheer enough that a five-inch square of it settles flat to the skin rather than standing up as film. A small base means less edge to tint and trim than a wide field, so the customizing runs quick, and the sheerness earns its keep most at the one tight seam every eye finds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wave Isn't Locked In\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt bends on the soft, temporary links that heat and water rearrange rather than on anything permed in, so pressing just the single part flat against the lengths gives you a clean center line, and a wash and dry-down brings the crown's wave back. Thermal protectant first, every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColours Through in One Pass\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe pigment inside the strand is all still there and the outer layer was never split by chemicals, so a lightener moves through evenly, none of the mottled bands pre-dyed hair throws. A block this size takes the colour in one quick pass, no babying a wide frontal edge, so you can carry the whole crown up to honey blonde to meet lifted bundles, or keep the 1B deep at the 16 and 18 inches it ships in.\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\"\u003eLoose Wave\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\"\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003e16\", 18\"\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 HD Lace\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\"\u003eHD Lace (ultra-thin, melts into the skin for an undetectable finish)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003ePart\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eVersatile parting options with a natural-looking scalp appearance\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 — can be curled or straightened\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eProtective Styling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eHelps complete installs while minimizing leave-out\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\"\u003eSew-ins and custom wig construction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy a Closure Earns Its Place\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTopping the crown with a closure changes what you do every morning: you quit lifting a length of front hair to iron into the bundles. Here the part is the piece, so all your hair braids down and hides under the install, none of it left exposed to heat and handling for weeks on end. That makes this a protective call as much as a cosmetic one, with leave-out kept to a minimum. Anchor it across the crown over your cornrow \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/hair-extension-glossary#track\"\u003etracks\u003c\/a\u003e for a braid-and-sew, or build it onto a cap as the front of a wig you lift off each night, and the square behaves the same either way. Pair it with loose wave \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/hair-extension-glossary#weft\"\u003ewefts\u003c\/a\u003e cut in that same 1B, so the closure and the lengths beneath it run one unbroken shade, and because 1B sits close to most natural tones, the perimeter drops in with no obvious seam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKeeping the Wave Right\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA closure no longer pulls oil off a scalp the way growing hair does, so its care runs gentle and unhurried. Work a stay-in conditioner through with a wide-tooth comb, holding the base steady against your head and never forcing the teeth, so you aren't dragging at the knots tied into the lace. Across both the 16 and the 18 the length stays easy to manage, but the night habits still count: don't sleep on it wet, loose-braid it before bed, and rest it on satin so the friction of a cotton pillow can't rough the surface of the strand overnight. A smooth strand is what keeps the loose wave falling clean and the part reading as scalp wash after wash.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Locks of Hair","offers":[{"title":"16\"","offer_id":45565171925052,"sku":"BRAZ-HD-CLO-LW-5x5-16","price":129.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\"","offer_id":45565171957820,"sku":"BRAZ-HD-CLO-LW-5x5-18","price":144.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0629\/2294\/8668\/files\/hair-extensions-loose-wave-5x5-hd-lace-closure-natural-black-1b-0.jpg?v=1783781436","url":"https:\/\/locksofhair.com\/products\/hair-extensions-loose-wave-5x5-hd-lace-closure-natural-black-1b","provider":"Locks of Hair","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
