Whether you choose a sleek straight bob, beautiful curls or flowing hair, we'll show you how to perfectly style your wig for this weekend's celebrations.
Elegant straight bob wig
The straight bob exudes sophistication and timeless elegance, making it a popular choice for creating a chic, modern look for events like Durban July.
Here's how to style it:
Preparation:
First, make sure your wig is well-groomed and smooth. Use a wig brush or wide-tooth comb to gently detangle from roots to tips.
styling:
For a classic look, part your bob in the center or slightly off-center. Use a curling iron on low heat to straighten out any frizz or waves for a sleek finish.
Finishing:
Apply a small amount of smoothing serum as needed, but don't apply too much as it can make your hair too oily.
Why not try accessorizing with hair pins? Shiny pins and headbands will enhance your outfit and add a touch of glamour.

Playful curly wig
Curly wigs are perfect for adding volume and glamour to your Durban July outfit, so we'll show you how to flatter your beautiful curls.
Preparation:
Comb your hair gently with your fingers or a wide-toothed comb, working from the ends upwards to avoid damaging your hair.
styling:
Apply a curl-setting cream or mousse to your curls. Gently massage your curls with your fingers until they take on a natural shape.
Some wigs may be wet and curly, so a simple spray of a light leave-in conditioner mixed with water will suffice.
Finishing:
If necessary, use the diffuser attachment on your hair dryer to set the curls without frizzing. Avoid over-brushing to maintain the curl pattern.
If you want to add even more glamour, consider adding a floral or jeweled hair clip to one side.

Gorgeous long wigs in a variety of colors
For those who love drama and glamour, long wigs offer endless styling possibilities. Learn how to make the most of your flowing hair.
Have fun with this style by wearing a blue, pink, blonde or bright red wig. You can use heat to create big curls or just leave it straight. The secret here is the length.
Preparation:
Gently brush the wig from the ends upwards to avoid tangling. Use a wig stand to support the wig while styling.
styling:
Get your hair dyed by a professional stylist.
For volume and variation, use a curling wand or hot rollers to create loose waves or curls. Section your hair and curl it away from your face for a soft, flowing effect.
Finishing:
Gently tousle larger curls with your fingers for a standout look on stage, and add a sparkling hair accessory like a tiara or a dramatic hair comb for a touch of royal elegance.

Tips for all wig styles
Secure Fit:
Use wig clips, pins, or wig caps to ensure your wig stays securely in place all day. If you're not sure how to secure your wig, schedule an appointment with a salon that does installations.
Natural Look:
Use foundation and concealer to blend the wig with your natural hairline for a seamless finish — you don't want the lace to be visible at the front or a different color than your scalp.
maintenance:
To keep your wig in top condition, store it on a wig stand when not in use and wash according to the manufacturer's instructions.
With these styling tips, your human hair wig will be the perfect complement to your outfit for Durban July 2024, ensuring you look and feel your best from start to finish.
Embrace your own unique style and enjoy the festival with confidence and glamour.
