Bohyme · The craft of texture
We create Bohyme’s wave patterns by wrapping human hair around different-sized wands, then using heat and steam in temperature-controlled chambers to form the shape. This texture-forming technique creates movement without chemical perming.
A soft S-shaped wave, a tousled bend, a more defined curl: each offers a different starting point for your style. Here is a closer look at the process behind our textured hair extensions—and how to choose the movement you want to wear.
How we shape waves in human hair extensions.
The pattern begins with the form we choose. Our wand-and-steam technique brings the shape of the wrap and controlled heat together.
-
01 / THE FORM
Choose the wand.
We select different-sized wands according to the desired style. The form gives us the shape around which to arrange the hair.
-
02 / THE WRAP
Shape the hair.
We wrap the human hair around the selected wands. This prepares the hair in the shape we want the wave or curl to take.
-
03 / HEAT & STEAM
Form the pattern.
The wrapped hair enters temperature-controlled chambers, where heat is closely monitored. Heat and steam help set the shape without chemical perming.

Different textures. Different expressions of movement.
Texture gives hair its visual rhythm: the spacing of a wave, the shape of a curl, and the way the lengths gather at the ends. Our range gives you more ways to find a starting texture for your everyday look.
Body Wave
A soft S-shaped wave for gentle movement and body through the lengths.
Loose Wave
A more pronounced, tousled wave, with less spiral curl than French Refined.
French Refined
A wave-and-curl expression to explore within the exact collection you are considering.
A closer look at wave and curl definition.
Beyond a soft wave, our texture range includes more pronounced patterns. Egyptian Wave, Deep Wave and Tight Curl each bring a different shape and character to the finished look.
Look through the full length of the hair when comparing textures. Notice where the pattern begins, how the bends or curls repeat, and how the ends fall. Our Style & Texture Comparison brings the range together, with texture descriptions and a stylist demonstration.
Texture development
French Refined: refining the space between wave and curl.
For Ethos French Refined, we refined our steaming process to create a tousled pattern between Ethos Blended Wave and Ethos Blended Curl. It offers more definition than Blended Wave, with a looser shape than Blended Curl.
Collection changes the expression, too. Luxe French Refined has a more open wave; Ethos French Refined has a more defined, tousled pattern. The shared name invites a closer comparison of the collection and finished texture.
See the photographs and movement comparison in our Ethos French Refined guide, or explore Ethos Hand-Tied French Refined.
Choosing textured hair extensions for the styles you wear.
Start with the finish you enjoy most: soft flowing waves, a tousled look, or more visible curl definition. Bring photographs of your hair in that everyday finish to your stylist, alongside the Bohyme texture you want to explore.
For example, if you want added length while keeping your usual waves, compare the pattern before choosing the final length. Your stylist can assess the blend, placement and shaping needed to bring the look together.
For a fuller curly silhouette, explore the pattern and body shown in our Brazilian Wave photography. Across hair extension styles, texture, quantity and the finishing cut work together to shape the result.
How the wave changes with washing and wear.
Our steam-formed wave patterns can loosen over time through wear and washing. The freshly unpacked texture is a starting reference; care and styling remain part of the look you create.
Review our Hair Care Guide with your stylist. For examples beyond the packaging, our texture comparison page includes a before-and-after-wash demonstration.

Your wave-pattern questions, answered.
How does Bohyme create wave patterns in human hair extensions?
We wrap human hair around different-sized wands and use heat and steam in temperature-controlled chambers to form the pattern.
Do you use chemical perms to create the waves?
Our wave-forming technique uses heat and steam without chemical perming.
Which texture should I explore for soft, wavy hair extensions?
Body Wave is a starting point for a soft S-shaped wave. Compare it with Loose Wave and your usual hair finish, then confirm the collection and product with your stylist.
Can textured extensions work with my natural waves or curls?
Begin by comparing your everyday pattern with the exact extension texture. Your stylist can assess compatibility, placement, shaping and the routine needed for the blend.
Will washing leave the wave pattern exactly the same?
The pattern can loosen through wear and washing. Our care guidance and texture demonstrations help you discuss realistic styling expectations with your stylist.
Is French Refined identical in Ethos and Luxe?
They offer different expressions. Ethos French Refined is more defined and tousled, while Luxe French Refined has a more open wave.
