They are! That's not a trick of the camera. Good thing I ordered 18 inch (even tho I normally wear 14-16 inch). Thanks to the group for alerting me about those fried ends, so i ordered xtra length

Is the natural curly picture with the blue background the same as the naturally curly in the photo right below it?  The blue backgrounds looks really nice and curly but the one below doesn't look as curly to me.  Im glad I didnt get the naturally curly because it's not curly enough for my hair, but it is really super pretty. Especially in that picture with the blue back. I got my hair today and am going to post them in just a second.  I just measured mine and they are definitely shorter, but Im used to that because when you get into the real long lengths 24-30 they always are off by a lot.  Still waiting for mine to dry. Dang there is a giant difference in the #2 and the 1b isn't there?  The #2 is exactly like most #4's.  So are you happy with your deepwave?  Im pretty happy with mine.

Cherry, yes those are the same hair , meaning it came from the same 1 lb of indian hair natural curly. I got 4 bags (1 pound) of IH Natural curly and the blue background is th eonly bag that has decent curl to it. The other 3 bags look like the "indianhairs natural curly after wash 18 in " pix. . But that's how it was last year when i ordered natural curly from IH. Only a few bags were curly. At that time,  i'd noticed the machine weft bags were curly whereas the handtied ones were more loose wave. So this time I ordered just a pound of machine weft thinking i would get all curly that way. But i only have 1 bag of curly in that Indianhair order.

 I think the RK superwav looks about like Indianhair natural curly (the wavy bunches, not the ONE curly bunch I got).  But w/ all that hair i got,only one bundle has the ringlet curls that i really LOVE.

Yes, I would be very disappointed by getting not so curly , curly hair. It seems that its hard to find indian hair with tight curls.  If EVERY package looked like the one pack you got with the blue background, I'd totally get a poopload of it!  I have some NatureGirl on order. When I get that, I'll post photos.    But damned that stuff is EXPENSIVE.  I really didn't want to have to always buy permed hair, because although the curl is tight, the curls aren't a natural shape like mine.  My curls are more poofy fat curls not the deepwave curls.  Permed curls and natural curls are totally shaped different. But I'd much rather wear deepwave then indianhair thats just a bit of a wave.  What do you think about the deepwave you got?  I got hand-tied, but I still notice it shedding a bit when I was picking the curls apart.

Cherry, I don't like the deepwave too much. The curl pattern is just not too my liking. I really love the superwave tho, just wish it was a bit curlier. But I think I have some products to help that.
My fav curl pattern is NGirl. I have ordered the wavy 2b, curly 3b and curly 3c, and Kinky. I think u'll be pleased w/ the curl in the 3b/c

Cherry, I got hand and machine wefts in deep wave. And they're both shedding about equal amounts.

Wow. Coupla faves here -- the RK Super Wavy after wash (second
pic from the bottom, on the left) is wonderful looking. Looks like a
nice, full weft of hair and very nice all the way to the bottom.

The Natural Curly after wash looks great as well. Before the wash it
looked totally fried.

Thanks for posting these. I have been curious for weeks what these
waves looked like.

Which one do you want to try first?

U're welcome AMM. The superwavy is my fav too. And the ends of those are just lovely. I kinda hate i ordered 18 inch, cause i need to cut some and i don't want to mess up the ends (i'm not a good cutter, ).

Oh you have gotten Naturegirl before? Do you have any photos of the 3b?  I can't wait to get it. It looks soo beautiful.   Your superwavy seems to be a lot fuller and curlier than mine after wash.  Mine is still drying but I dont see it getting as tight a curl as yours did.   It is nice and full on the weft though and very easy to comb through wet.

For clarification: the "indianhairs.com natural curly" blue background pix AND the last bundle of hair on right in last pix [labeled "IH natural curly 18 in"] is the SAME bundle of hair. The ends improved dramatically after wash and some leave in conditioner. They still need a tiny tiny bit trimming tho. That is truly my favorite bundle out of the lot.

The hair looks pretty nice but that is a ridiculous jump from 1B to 2.  The 1B looks like 1B and the 2 looks like at least a 4.  I had expected since the 2 and 4 ran light that the 1B would as well...

And i was hoping/praying that 1B would be a little lighter too. But 1B is BLACKest Black, and #2 is close to regular #6 I think. I will probably have to darken the #2 bundles  if I end up wearing them. I don't even think the 1B deep wavy and #2 deep wavy blend well together. #2 is too light for the DARK 1B mix.
