Water Wave Wigs South Africa
Water wave is a loose, flowing wave texture that mimics the natural movement of wet hair — soft S-shaped waves that move freely and have a slightly damp, beachy finish when first worn. The wave pattern is looser and more relaxed than deep wave or Jerry curl, giving a natural, effortless look that works as well for daily wear as for special occasions. All Licious Hair water wave wigs are 100% pure human hair.
Water wave wigs can be worn as-is for a defined wave pattern, or diffused and finger-styled for a looser, more natural texture. Because the hair is 100% human hair, it can also be straightened or heat-styled if you want to switch between textured and sleek looks.
Choosing a Water Wave Wig — What to Know
Wave pattern — Water wave has a loose, open S-shaped wave — larger and more relaxed than deep wave or Jerry curl. The waves flow freely rather than sitting in tight defined coils. The result is a natural, beachy texture with significant movement.
Length consideration — Water wave wigs are measured at their stretched (straightened) length. The wave pattern causes contraction, so a 16 inch water wave wig will sit noticeably shorter at rest. Size up if you want the wig to hit at a specific length when worn.
Moisture maintenance — Like all wave textures, water wave benefits from regular moisture to maintain wave definition. A light leave-in conditioner or curl refresher keeps the wave pattern defined between washes.
Styling versatility — Water wave wigs can be straightened with a flat iron (the wave pattern will not return without restyling), worn wet for maximum wave definition, or diffuser-dried for a voluminous, natural texture.

Water Wave Wig Questions
What is a water wave wig?
A water wave wig has a loose, flowing S-shaped wave texture that mimics the natural look of wet, beachy hair. The wave pattern is more relaxed and open than deep wave or Jerry curl — it moves freely and has a natural, effortless finish. All Licious Hair water wave wigs are 100% pure human hair.
What is the difference between water wave and deep wave?
Both are wave textures, but they differ in tightness and density. Deep wave has a more compact, tighter S-pattern with more volume and density. Water wave has a looser, more open wave that flows more freely. Water wave looks more natural and effortless; deep wave looks fuller and more structured. Water wave is closer to a natural beachy finish.
How do I maintain a water wave wig?
Keep the hair moisturised to maintain wave definition. Wash with a sulphate-free shampoo and a moisturising conditioner. Apply a light leave-in conditioner or curl refresher to reactivate the wave pattern between washes. Avoid rough towel-drying — scrunch gently or air-dry on a wig stand. A diffuser attachment on a blow-dryer on low heat gives good volume without disrupting the wave pattern.
Can I straighten a water wave wig?
Yes — 100% human hair water wave wigs can be straightened with a flat iron. Once straightened, the original wave pattern will not return without restyling with a curling tool or a wet-set process. If you want to maintain the wave pattern long-term, avoid flat-ironing and instead work with the natural texture using moisture and diffusing.
Does the listed length account for the wave contraction?
Wig lengths are measured on the stretched (straightened) hair. A water wave wig’s resting length with waves contracted will be shorter than the listed length. A 20 inch water wave wig may sit at around 16–17 inches when worn with the wave pattern intact. If you want the wig to hit at a specific length, size up by a few inches to account for wave contraction.
