The pattern is a crimped, rippled texture that looks perpetually wet even when it is bone dry. That \"fresh out of the shower\" appearance is built into the wave structure itself, not dependent on gel or mousse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Tightest Wave in the Collection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater wave is the tightest wave in the range, one step short of a curl. The bends are narrow, close together, and very defined. Looser waves create broader, flatter surfaces that reflect light in sheets. Water wave fragments that reflection into sparkle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVolume and Shrinkage at Maximum\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf all the wave textures, water wave produces the most volume per gram and the most shrinkage per inch. That also means significant length compression, so a 22-inch water wave strand might display as 16 to 17 inches in its natural state. Plan your purchase length accordingly.

A single pack goes further visually than the same weight of a looser texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Wet-Look Advantage for Braiding\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater wave has become one of the most requested textures for crochet braids specifically because the wet look eliminates the number one complaint about textured crochet installs: frizz visibility. On looser wave patterns, individual strands that separate from the wave group read as frizz. On water wave, stray strands still look defined because the tight wave pattern is visible on every single strand. The texture is self-correcting in a way that looser patterns are not.
