Most texture guides tell you which one to choose. This one is for when you have already chosen — and it does not exist in the length, the colour or the price you needed.
Here is the closest match for each situation, using what we actually stock today.
The one thing that changes everything
Across our seven human-hair braiding textures, only two come in colours:
| Texture | Colours | Lengths | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deep Wave | 8 shades | 12", 18", 24" | $90–$150 |
| Body Wave | 6 shades | 18", 24" | $120–$150 |
| Italian Curl | Natural black | 18", 24" | $120–$150 |
| Water Curl | Natural black | 18", 24" | $120–$150 |
| Burmese Curly | Natural black | 18", 24" | $120–$150 |
| Wet & Wavy | Natural black | 18", 24" | $120–$150 |
| Deep Curly | Natural black | 18" only | $120 |
One more detail that catches people out: Deep Wave's eight shades only exist at 18 inches. The 12" and 24" are natural black. So if you want 24 inches in honey or blonde, Body Wave is your only option.
"I wanted Italian Curl, but I need a colour"
Italian Curl is natural black only. Your closest options:
- Deep Wave at 18", $120 — eight shades, and the closest pattern in colour. A deeper, more uniform S-wave rather than Italian Curl's rounder spring.
- Body Wave at 18" or 24", $120–$150 — six shades, and a looser wave. Choose this if you want colour and length.
If the springy curl is what you actually wanted, and colour was a nice-to-have, consider staying with Italian Curl and dyeing it. It is human hair, so it takes colour.
"I wanted a curl, but not that curl"
Four of our textures are natural black and differ only in pattern. Ordered from loosest to tightest:
- Wet & Wavy — the loosest. Waves revive when you wet it.
- Water Curl — the in-between. 30 reviews, rated 5.0.
- Italian Curl — rounder, springier, more bounce. 46 reviews, rated 5.0.
- Burmese Curly — the tightest coil of the four.
All four are $120 at 18 inches and $150 at 24. So switching between them costs you nothing — it is purely a question of the pattern you want.
"I want to spend less"
There is exactly one option under $120: Deep Wave at 12 inches, $90, natural black.
It is our cheapest entry into human hair, and it is genuinely cheaper — not a smaller bundle. Still 100g. The trade is length: 12 inches sits around the collarbone, so it suits shorter boho styles rather than waist-length looks.
Three 12" bundles come to $270 and clear our free US shipping threshold, which is often better value than two 18" bundles at $240 if you want volume more than length.
"I wanted one of the ombré colours"
Our synthetic ombré range — SAHARA, DUBAII, HENNA, BLONDIE and the rest — is currently out of stock. We are not going to pretend otherwise or leave you clicking through empty pages.
The closest thing we can offer today is blending two Deep Wave shades. Because all eight were dyed to sit together, combinations work rather than clash. Customers commonly mix:
- 27 with 613 — honey through blonde
- 4 with 30 — chocolate through copper
- 1b with 8 — natural black with an ash lift
It is not the same as a pre-blended ombré strand, and it costs more since it is human hair rather than synthetic. But it is available, and it lasts differently.
What we cannot substitute
Two honest limits.
Deep Curly is nearly gone. 18 inches, natural black, and stock is low. If it is what you want, do not plan around it being there next month.
Nothing here replaces synthetic on price. If your budget is $10 to $30 a pack, human hair is not the category — and we would rather say so than sell you something that disappoints. Our entry point is $90.
