Hair Extensions - Raw Body Wave 5x5 HD Lace Closure - Natural Black (1B)

A Wave Already Living in the Strand
Body wave is a soft, open S that rolls with weight instead of curling up on itself, and the pattern was worked in at the source long before the bundle reached you, so the swing is there the second you unwrap it. No wand, no rollers, no setting spray. Just take it out and it moves.

1B Reads Softer Along the Bend
On natural black #1B the motion looks gentler than it does on a flat jet #1, because the warm brown carried inside the black catches daylight as it rides each S rather than going dead matte. That faint warmth is what keeps the wave looking like weather moved it rather than a machine.

The Part Stays Clean the Longest
You drag a comb down the same seam every morning re-parting a closure, and that's exactly where weaker hair starts to fuzz and knot. This is raw, cuticle-intact hair, its outer layer never scrubbed away to fake a slick feel, so those outer scales still run one direction from the root down and slide past each other under the friction. The part keeps its clean line through wash after wash rather than matting by the second one.

Wet It and the Wave Drops Back
Iron it sleek for a night out and rinse the shape loose come sunrise, and the body wave settles right where it started. Water and heat only break the light bonds holding a borrowed shape, while the bonds carrying the real wave never move, so the strand just resets itself. That is the wave that grew in versus the one you talked it into for an evening.

A Full Square Over the Crown
The 5x5 lays a real working square of lace across the top, well past a thin strip. Center part, deep side, off a corner, it all rides on one base, capping the spot where your body wave wefts stop short of the parting.

Sews Down and Holds for Weeks
You sew it onto braided-down tracks, running a lock, double-lock, or overcast pass along the seam, and that grip carries a clean install a stretch of weeks with your own edges braided safe below. The hold is what buys you the low-maintenance run.

HD Lace Goes Quiet on 1B
On a closure the lace only shows where you split the part, right over the crown, so a base sitting too thick reads as a pale film exactly where every eye lands first. HD is the sheerest grade there is, and on deep #1B it sinks into the scalp instead of casting that haze. Trim it uneven, leave a sliver at the border, done.

Virgin Pigment Takes Colour Straight
Raw #1B has never sat in bleach or box dye, so the colour inside each strand is whole and a new tone lands on it evenly, the way it would on hair off your own head. Carry the black up to #613 for a custom crown, and since a 5x5 only tops the part and not the full hairline, that's one tidy square to match to your bundles rather than a whole frontal to blend.
