Okay, so I need to tell you about Malaysian body wave hair because it's honestly become my go-to recommendation for first-time bundle buyers. Remember when I spent $400 on Brazilian bundles that tangled after one wash? Yeah, that trauma led me to Malaysian hair, and girl, the difference is real. These bundles have this naturally soft texture that actually stays soft, not that fake silky feeling that washes out after the first shampoo.

What Makes This Different
Not gonna lie, I was skeptical about Malaysian hair at first. Everyone was pushing Brazilian this, Peruvian that. But here's what sold me: Malaysian body wave holds its pattern without being stiff. You know how some body wave turns into this weird crimped mess after you sleep on it? These maintain that loose S-pattern even after you've worn them for weeks.
The texture is what really gets me though. It's thick but not heavy, if that makes sense? Like when I do full sew-ins with these 100-gram bundles, my clients can actually forget they're wearing extensions. That's the sweet spot. And because it's virgin hair (actually virgin, not that "virgin" hair that comes pre-colored), you can bleach these babies up to honey blonde without them turning into tumbleweeds.
Back when I was working in the salon, Malaysian was what we'd use for clients who wanted body wave but had finer hair. Brazilian can be too heavy sometimes, but Malaysian blends like it was meant to be there. Plus, with that machine double stitch weft, you're not dealing with shedding all over your bathroom floor. I literally found hair from a cheap install I did three years ago behind my toilet last week. With proper wefts like these? That problem disappears.
The Technical Stuff That Actually Matters
Here's the thing about these bundles: they come in lengths from 10 to 24 inches, which honestly covers everything you need. Those 10-12 inch lengths? Perfect for adding volume to bobs. The 20-24 inch? That's your mermaid hair dreams right there. I usually tell people to get lengths 2-4 inches longer than their goal because body wave draws up a bit when it dries.
You get 3.5 ounces per bundle, and for a full install, most people need 2-3 bundles for lengths under 18 inches, or 3-4 for anything longer. My personal sweet spot is three 16-inch bundles with a matching closure. Gives you fullness without that obvious "I'm wearing a small animal on my head" look.
Pro tip from years of installs: always co-wash these before installing. Just conditioner, no shampoo. Work it through gently (and I mean gently, don't rough them up), rinse in cool water, and let them air dry. They'll wave up beautifully and you'll see the true texture before you commit to the install.
Girl, Just Trust Me On This
If you're debating between textures or origins, Malaysian body wave is the safe bet that actually delivers. It photographs beautifully, moves naturally, and that soft texture means less tangling at your nape. Your morning routine becomes: wake up, shake, maybe add some mousse, done. That's the life these bundles give you.
