Deep Wave vs Curly Hair, What is the Difference?

Last Update Jul 18, 2025

When shopping for human hair bundles, most people think about the length, color, and style. But did you know hair texture is just as important? From sleek straight to coily curls, the texture plays a major role in your final look.

There are many options when choosing Brazilian hair extensions, like curly wave, body wave, deep curly, and more. If you’re unsure of the differences, don’t worry! Today, we’re breaking down the deep wave vs. curly hair textures and why they’re both favorites at UNice.

Let’s start with deep wave hair:

What Is Deep Wave Hair?

Deep wave virgin Remy hair features tight, luxurious, S-shaped waves that give off a shiny, healthy, voluminous appearance. The pattern is deeper than body wave hair, resulting in a more defined, bouncy curl.

It’s a top choice for adding fullness and length to natural curls. Just keep in mind—proper care is key! Deep wave hair can frizz if not maintained, which is why it’s sometimes confused with kinky curly textures.

Curly hair extensions, like kinky curly, have tighter, springier curls that create a full, voluminous look. This texture is fluffier than deep wave and may not frame the face as softly, but it's perfect for bold, natural styles.

Women love kinky curly Virgin Indian Remy hair for its authenticity and natural vibe. It’s an amazing texture for those transitioning or embracing their natural curls, offering beautiful bounce and shape.

Brazilian Deep Wave vs. Curly Hair: What’s the Difference?

The biggest difference between curly hair bundles and deep wave hair is the curl tightness and volume. Here’s a full breakdown to help you choose:

Feature Deep Wave Hair Curly Hair
Texture S-shaped, defined waves for a sleek and voluminous look. Tight, spiral curls for a bold and full appearance.
Volume Voluminous but more defined and sleek than curly hair. Very voluminous due to tighter curls and fuller density.
Maintenance Moderate care with detangling and moisturizing required. High maintenance—requires moisture, definition, and daily care.
Styling Can be styled straight or curled; versatile for everyday looks. Best worn natural; straightening can damage the curl pattern.

1. Curl Tightness

Deep wave has looser waves, while curly and kinky curly hair are more compact and springy. If you want a definition with less frizz, go for deep wave. If you love volume and bold coils, curly is for you.

2. Hair Thickness

Curly hair appears thicker due to its tight coils, making it look more voluminous. Deep wave gives a bouncy but sleeker finish. Choose the one that complements your face shape and style goals.

3. Hair Care

Both textures require moisture and gentle detangling. Kinky curly hair especially needs deep conditioning, as it's more fragile despite its dense appearance.

How To Maintain Curly Hair

• Treat it like your natural hair—hydrate, detangle, and protect daily.

• Avoid heat tools to maintain the curl pattern.

• Never sleep with wet hair—always air dry or diffuse gently.

• After swimming, use clarifying shampoo and deep conditioner.

• Maintain with leave-in conditioner or curl cream. Avoid touching curls too much to prevent frizz. Let it air dry naturally for best results.

Bleaching or coloring curly hair can loosen or damage the curl. Always consult a stylist before chemical treatments, and follow up with deep hydration and repair masks.

Deep wave or curly—either way, you’re going to slay! Both styles bring gorgeous texture and volume, but they require consistent care. Choose based on the curl pattern, volume, and vibe you’re going for.
