Water Wave vs. Deep Wave Crochet Hair: Which Is Better for Your 4C Hair?

Water Wave is generally easier for customers who like a relaxed, slightly undone finish. Small changes in the wave pattern are less noticeable, and the hair can be refreshed with water and lightweight mousse.

Deep Wave may require more careful separation to preserve its defined pattern. The curls can wrap around neighboring strands, so regular finger-detangling is important.

For both textures:

• Detangle with your fingers from the ends upward
• Avoid brushing the hair while dry
• Use lightweight products sparingly
• Divide the hair into loose sections before sleeping
• Wear a satin bonnet or use a satin pillowcase

Which Works Better With Miracle Knots?

Both textures are suitable for the Eayon Hair Miracle Knots method. Your natural hair is first divided and braided into multiple small individual braids. Eayon Feather Crochet Hair is then attached to these braids with a crochet hook.

Water Wave creates softer movement around the small braided roots, while Deep Wave provides more coverage and visible volume. Miracle Knots help the attachment points sit flatter and appear less noticeable than bulky traditional crochet knots.

How Many Packs Do You Need?

For most full-head styles, 4 packs of Eayon Hair—approximately 200 strands—provide natural-looking coverage. Choose 5 packs, or around 250 strands, for a larger head circumference, additional coverage, or a fuller result.

Longer lengths may contain approximately 40–45 strands per pack under the same total weight. For longer crochet styles, purchasing 5–6 packs is recommended, although you may not need to install every strand.

Water Wave vs. Deep Wave: Which Should You Choose?

Choose Water Wave crochet hair if you want:

• Soft, flowing waves
• Lightweight, airy volume
• A relaxed everyday style
• Easy layering and natural movement

Choose Deep Wave crochet hair if you want:

• Deeper, more defined waves
• A fuller-looking hairstyle
• Stronger texture from roots to ends
• A polished and dramatic finish

Final Verdict

Water Wave is better for a soft, lightweight, and effortless look, while Deep Wave is better for definition and fuller-looking volume. Both can work beautifully with 4C hair when installed with comfortable tension and the right amount of hair.
