Hair Extensions - Water Wave Feather Crochet 16 Inch - Natural Black (1B)

A Short Spiral That Springs
Water wave is the wettest-looking pattern going, a small spiralled S deeper than a body wave but looser than a true curl. At sixteen inches there's so little length on each strand that nothing drags the coil open, so it sits compact and lifts at the collarbone, springing where a slacker bend would just fall.

A Quick Wet Reset
A wet-look pattern shows best with a little water in it, and a short set takes that water back fast. Dampen a flattened side, give it a squeeze, and the spiral re-springs in minutes, drying through quicker than any longer drop because there's less hair to soak. No hot tool needed anywhere in it.

It Likes to Stay Damp
This pattern lives on moisture, so a leave-in earns its keep, pulling water in and holding it so the wave stays plump and lively from one wash to the next. Keep a touch of dampness in it and the wet-look spiral reads its best.

Fed On With a Hook, Left Untied
Each feather piece loops onto a hook and rides through the knotless string rows braided flat to your scalp. There's no prep round first because the pack hands you strands already parted into single feathers. On a set this short the coil drops flush and springs right from that first row, with nothing cinching into a knot or pressing on your head, and the texture folding into the natural movement feather pieces mimic.

Barely There to Wear
All that ripple and almost none of the weight. Sixteen inches puts so little hair on each piece that a full install sits feather-light on your own strands and easy on the braids beneath, and short pieces catch and lie flat as you go so the seating stays quick. It still reads thick and full, because with this pattern it's how tightly the spiral winds that fills a head rather than the grams on it.

Little Weight to Pull the Wave Slack
Wet hair softens and gives a little before it springs back, and the coil is at its most delicate right then. On a short set almost nothing tugs down while it's soaked, so the wave isn't stretched out as it dries and it shrugs off the nightly scrunch, sleep, and rinse without going limp.

Heat Holds, Water Resets
It's real hair, so heat takes and holds. Wind sections tighter on a wand or press the part smooth, and the set stays until you wash, then the water wave returns on its own. Heat protectant down first, every single pass.

1B You Can Run Again
Crochet pieces lift back out clean, nothing snipped, and the light sixteen-inch weight means they seat with hardly any pull and come off just as gently, so you loop the same hair on again next round. The shade is 1B, a quiet black a shade off jet, the everyday dark you likely already grow, so it slots in with no colour work first. Scatter 50-piece, 60-gram bundles over your rows for an airy spiral, or pack 100-piece, 120-gram sets wet-look dense across the head.
