Okay, so remember when I spent four hours in the salon getting I-tips installed and my arms were literally numb from holding them up? Worth. Every. Second. These Indian wavy I-tips are exactly what made me fall in love with the method in the first place. Not gonna lie, when I first felt the texture of this raw Indian hair, I couldn't stop running my fingers through the test strand. It's that perfect beachy wave that looks like you just rolled out of bed looking expensive.

What Makes These Special
Here's the thing about raw Indian hair that nobody really explains properly. This isn't processed hair that's been stripped and coated to look pretty in the package. This is actual hair in its natural state, which means each bundle has its own personality. The waves? They're real. Not chemically created, not heat-set. Just naturally gorgeous texture that moves like your own hair because, well, it basically is.
Not gonna lie, the first time I worked with raw hair versus processed, I noticed the difference immediately. Raw hair feels different. It's got this natural grip that processed hair loses, which means your I-tips actually stay more secure. Plus, when you wash it? The waves bounce back without any effort. No scrunching, no products, just wet it and watch the pattern come alive.
The 150 to 160 pieces give you serious versatility. You can do a full head for major volume or strategic placement for thickness where you need it most. In the salon, we used to charge differently based on how many strands clients wanted. With this amount, you're getting enough for a proper transformation, not just a few highlights of thickness.
The Real Details
Here's what you actually need to know about working with I-tips. Each strand comes with a keratin tip that your stylist melts to bond with your natural hair. The process takes time, but once they're in? Girl, they're IN. You'll have beautiful wake-up-and-go hair.
The wavy texture is honestly perfect if you're someone who heat styles sometimes but also likes to air dry. These blend whether your natural hair is straight (the waves add body), wavy (perfect match), or even loosely curly (smooths into your pattern beautifully). And that natural black #1B color? It's not that flat, one-dimensional black you see in synthetic. It's got depth and catches light like real hair does.
Since this is raw hair, you can color it if you want. I've seen clients take it to honey blonde, though honestly, the natural color is so rich I'd think twice before changing it. The 18 to 24 inch length range means you can choose based on your current length or go for that dramatic transformation.
Bottom Line
Girl, if you've been thinking about I-tips but weren't sure about committing, these are your sign. Quality raw Indian hair that moves naturally, enough pieces for a full install, and that perfect wavy texture that looks good from day one to removal day. Your stylist will thank you for bringing quality hair, and you'll thank yourself every morning when you wake up with hair that just... works.
