Curly Wigs
Curly human hair wigs in salt and pepper and gray blends, across 50 styles from $80.
Curl is the texture that hides a wig best - the movement breaks up any regular line at the hairline and parting, which is why curly styles are the most forgiving choice for a first wig.
- The one thing to know first: curly wigs hang about 4 inches shorter than the label
- 50 styles - bobs, pixies, headband wigs, lace fronts, half wigs and V-parts
- 100% human hair - the curl pattern is the hair's own, so it survives washing
- Free US shipping in 3 to 7 business days, returns to our US warehouse
Length: what curly hair actually does
Stated length is measured on hair pulled straight. Curl pulls it back up. This is the single most common reason customers order the wrong size, so it is worth getting right before you choose.
| Texture | Shrinks by | A 14 inch wig hangs at |
|---|---|---|
| Kinky curly, jerry curly, afro | About 4 inches | Roughly 10 inches |
| Water wave, body wave, loose curl | About 2 inches | Roughly 12 inches |
| Straight | None | 14 inches |
The shortcut: if you have worn a 14 inch straight wig and liked the length, order 18 inch in a kinky curly texture to get a similar drop.
Which curl pattern should you choose?
- Kinky curly - tight, springy coils with the most volume. Closest to natural 4a-4c hair. The most concealing, and the shortest-hanging.
- Jerry curly - defined spiral curls, slightly looser than kinky. Holds shape well and needs less daily refreshing.
- Water wave - soft, bouncy S-waves. The easiest curl to run your fingers through and the least likely to tangle at the nape.
- Body wave - a gentle wave rather than a curl. Reads as blow-dried hair. Good if you want movement without obvious curl.
- Loose curly - between jerry and water wave. A relaxed, everyday curl.
If this is your first curly wig, water wave and body wave are the lowest-maintenance places to start.
Cap types available in this collection
Listed easiest to most involved:
- Headband wigs - no lace, no glue, on in about 30 seconds. The headband is visible and you cannot part the hair.
- No-lace and wear-and-go styles - elastic band, pre-cut, no adhesive.
- Half wigs - cover the back and crown, leaving your own front hairline out.
- V-part wigs - blend with a small section of your own hair for a natural part.
- 5x5 and 13x4 lace wigs - exposed hairline and full styling freedom, usually with adhesive.
If your edges are thinning or you have traction alopecia, stay with the first three. None of them puts tension on your hairline.
Caring for a curly human hair wig
- Never brush it dry. Detangle with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb only while damp and conditioned. Dry brushing is what turns a defined curl into frizz permanently.
- Wash every 7 to 10 wears in cool water with a sulfate-free shampoo. Squeeze downward, never scrub or wring.
- Air dry on a wig stand. Heat drying loosens the curl pattern over time.
- Expected life: 8 to 12 months with regular wear and proper care.
Frequently asked questions
Will the curl fall out after washing?
No. Because this is 100% human hair, the curl is the hair's own pattern rather than a set style, so it returns as the hair dries. What loosens curl over time is heat and dry brushing, not water.
Can I straighten a curly wig?
Yes, human hair takes heat. Use a heat protectant and the lowest temperature that works. Repeated straightening will gradually relax the curl pattern, so do it for occasions rather than daily.
Which shade of gray should I pick?
Match the shade to where your gray is, not how much you have. See the full guide on our Salt & Pepper Wigs page, or go straight to Dark, Medium, Standard or Light.
