Bohyme Journal · Updated November 9, 2026

Bohyme Body Wave creates soft, flowing curves with visible movement and a relaxed finish. Its broad wave gives shape through the lengths without the more closely formed definition of a tighter curl. The result can be worn with the wave showing or professionally styled into a different finish.

Ethos Hand-Tied Body Wave is the featured option in this texture study. Made with 100% Remi® Virgin Human Hair, it pairs the wave pattern with hand-tied construction and offers Full Pack and Individual Weft options.

Read the pattern before choosing the method

Body Wave describes the hair’s texture, not the attachment. Look at the long bends, the movement through the ends and how the hair sits beside the client’s natural texture. The same general wave direction can look different after a finishing cut or a change in drying technique.

For a client who likes visible shape but usually wears soft movement, Body Wave is a useful consultation starting point. Compare it with Luxe Deep Wave when stronger definition is desired. Deep Wave has more pronounced curves; the choice should reflect the finish the client wants to maintain.

Choose a Body Wave format

Format Bohyme option Planning focus
Hand-tied Ethos Body Wave Individual wefts, shade layering and a professional row
Machine-tied Luxe Body Wave Weft placement and the amount needed for the shape
Seamless weft Luxe Seamless Body Wave A cuttable weft format without return hair
Tape-in Essential Standard Body Wave Adhesive placement and maintenance
I-Tip Luxe Body Wave I-Tips Individual strand placement
Removable clip-in Essential 7-Piece Body Wave Flexible piece placement and removal

Confirm the selected collection, shade and length within the format. A color or length shown in one Body Wave product does not establish availability in all the others.

Plan the everyday finish

Bring a reference of the hair as it is usually worn. Discuss whether the client prefers an air-dried wave, a fuller blowout or a smoother finish. A compatible starting texture can make the routine more practical, but blending still depends on the natural hair and the professional cut.

Also discuss visible length. A waved texture follows curves rather than a straight line, so the finished fall should be assessed in the intended style. Your stylist determines the amount of hair from the desired silhouette, natural density and planned placement.

Keep the wave moving

Detangle gently from the ends upward while supporting attachments. Cleanse downward and condition the lengths without coating attachment areas with incompatible products. Blot excess moisture rather than rubbing the hair together.

When wearing the wave, shape it gently during drying and avoid repeatedly disturbing sections as they settle. Dry the foundation of an installed service thoroughly. When restyling with heat, use protection and conservative settings; repeated excessive heat can affect the hair’s feel and pattern.

Body Wave questions

Is Body Wave a curly texture?

Its defining look is a soft, broad wave. Compare the actual product with more defined textures if a visibly tighter curl is the goal.

Will it look identical after every wash?

No. Cleansing, drying, moisture and styling affect how human hair settles. The wave may separate or appear softer depending on the routine.

Can I choose Body Wave for temporary wear?

Yes. The Essential seven-piece Body Wave clip-in set offers a removable format. It is a separate product from the professional weft, tape and tip options.
