Curly Wigs South Africa

All curly units are available in both glueless and frontal lace constructions, in full-length and bob cuts. The three confirmed curl patterns in this range are Jerry curl, Styled Curls, and standard Curly — each with distinct texture and movement.

Choosing Your Curly Wig — What to Look For

  • Curl pattern — Jerry curl gives tight, defined coils with a springy bounce. Styled Curls are pre-formed with a glamorous, rounded volume. Standard Curly gives natural curl texture with soft definition. Water wave gives a soft wet-look finish with flowing movement.
  • Length — Curly wigs are measured at the length of the stretched hair. A 14 inch curly wig will sit noticeably shorter when curls contract. Factor this in when choosing your length.
  • Draw level — Double drawn and super double drawn curly wigs are significantly fuller from root to tip — particularly noticeable in curl textures where volume is part of the look.
  • Construction — Glueless curly wigs are easier for daily wear. Frontal curly wigs give ear-to-ear natural hairlines for a more seamless look.

Curly Wig Questions

What curl patterns are available?

Licious Hair curly wigs are available in three confirmed curl patterns: Jerry curl (tight, defined coils with a springy bounce), Styled Curls (pre-formed glamorous curls with full, rounded volume), and Curly (natural curl texture with soft definition). Check individual product listings for the specific pattern on each unit.

How do I maintain a curly wig?

Wash with a sulphate-free shampoo and follow with a moisturising conditioner. Apply a leave-in conditioner or curl refresher to reactivate the curl pattern after washing. Store the wig on a stand or in its original net to prevent tangling. Avoid sleeping in the wig without a satin cap or bonnet — friction is the main cause of frizz and curl disruption in human hair wigs.

Can I straighten a curly wig?

Yes — 100% pure human hair curly wigs can be straightened with a flat iron. However, once straightened, the original curl pattern will not return without re-perming or using a curling tool to re-form the curls. If you want to maintain the curl pattern long-term, avoid flat-ironing the unit directly.

Does the length I see refer to stretched or natural length?

Wig lengths are measured on the stretched (straightened) hair. A curly wig’s resting length when curls are contracted will be noticeably shorter than the listed length. A 16 inch curly wig may rest at around 12–13 inches due to curl contraction. If you want the wig to sit at a specific length, size up slightly to account for this.

Do curly wigs require more maintenance than straight wigs?

Curly wigs require more moisture management than straight wigs — the curl pattern needs hydration to stay defined. Washing frequency depends on wear frequency, but refreshing the curls with a light mist of water and leave-in conditioner between washes helps significantly. The maintenance is manageable and becomes routine quickly.
