Waver by Gabor
Waver by Gabor: The Long Bob That Moves Like a Wave
Meet the Waver by Gabor — a shoulder-length beach wave long bob from the Gabor Essentials Collection that lives up to its name in every measurement. Designed around an "easy, lived-in texture," Waver offers the relaxed, organic character of natural beach waves with the practical flexibility of a shake-and-go daily routine.
Silhouette & Length
Waver carries the longest front measurement in the entire Gabor Essentials lineup at MyHairMail — 12.5" at both the front and crown. That length falls at or below the collarbone on most wearers, giving the beach waves genuine presence and dimension rather than a merely suggested wave effect.
The graduation from front to nape is what defines the long bob character:
- Front: 12.5"
- Crown: 12.5"
- Sides: 11"
- Back: 11"
- Nape: 8"
- Weight: 4.6 oz
The 4.5" differential between the front and nape creates a gentle, flattering graduation — subtle enough to read as a long bob rather than a dramatically stacked cut, distinct enough to give the style its tapered, face-framing shape.
Texture: Subtle Beach Waves
The waves in Waver are specifically described as "subtle" — not heavily structured or tightly defined, but the soft, organic looseness of naturally wavy hair. The brand's own words capture it best: "go with the flow." At 12.5" of front and crown length, these waves catch light from different angles, move with the wearer, and read as naturally textured rather than constructed.
Styling Possibilities
The confirmed brand description names three wearing configurations, all supported by the 12.5" front and crown length:
- Loose: the full beach wave long bob falls freely around the face and to the shoulder
- Half-up: front and crown sections gathered and pinned while back waves fall free
- Softly pinned back: front layers clipped away from the face for an open, off-the-face look
Three distinct looks. One wig. No extra tools required between configurations.
Fiber & Heat Styling
Waver is made with Kanekalon® Excelle™ heat-friendly synthetic fiber, rated for heat styling up to 350°F. This means you can refresh the waves or adjust the style with low-to-medium heat tools — a genuine advantage for a wave style that benefits from easy touch-ups. For a deeper look at synthetic fiber care and styling, visit the Wig Fiber Guide.
Cap Construction
Waver is built on Gabor's Cool Comfort Cap™ with the following features:
- Hidden weft front — weft built inside the front band for a cleaner hairline edge
- Open ear tabs
- Open extended nape
- Ultra-thin hook/loop nape adjusters for a secure, customized fit
- Cap size: Average
Waver does not feature a lace front or monofilament top. The 12.5" front waves naturally fall forward and cover much of the hairline perimeter in daily wear. If a virtually invisible lace front hairline is a priority for you, check the Wig Size Chart and consult MyHairMail's Ask Angela℠ service for lace front alternatives within the Gabor lineup.
Color Range
Waver is available across Gabor Essentials' Soft Shade hand-blended range. These are thoughtfully blended tones designed to complement a wide range of skin tones naturally. To explore and compare shades before you buy, use the MyHairMail Color Guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the Waver by Gabor?
Waver measures 12.5" at both the front and crown — the longest front measurement in the Gabor Essentials lineup at MyHairMail. The sides and back are 11", and the nape is 8", creating the graduated long bob silhouette. On most wearers, the front falls at or below the collarbone, giving the beach waves genuine length and visible dimension throughout the style.
Can I use heat tools on the Waver by Gabor?
Yes. Waver is made with Kanekalon® Excelle™ heat-friendly synthetic fiber, which supports heat styling up to 350°F. This allows you to refresh the beach waves or adjust the style using low-to-medium heat tools. For full care and styling guidance, visit the Wig Fiber Guide.
Does the Waver by Gabor have a lace front?
No. Waver features a hidden weft front — the weft is sewn inside the front band for a cleaner hairline appearance, but it is not a lace front and does not include monofilament. The 12.5" waves naturally fall forward and cover most of the hairline during wear. If a lace front hairline is a priority, contact MyHairMail's Ask Angela℠ service for recommendations.
What cap size is the Waver by Gabor?
Waver is built on an Average-size Cool Comfort Cap™. It includes ultra-thin hook/loop nape adjusters for a more personalized, secure fit. If you're unsure whether average cap size is right for you, the Wig Size Chart has brand-specific guidance to help you measure and choose with confidence.
What styling options does the Waver by Gabor offer?
Gabor's confirmed brand description names three specific configurations: wearing it loose, half-up, or softly pinned back. The 12.5" front and crown provide the length needed for all three looks. Each creates a noticeably different character from the same wig — no additional tools or products required to transition between them throughout the day.
