Londie London: the 100 inch braid, its colours and where to buy
What Londie London is
Londie London hairpieces are 100 inch synthetic braids sold in South Africa. Afrotex's own online shop lists Londie London at R49.00 and describes it as a braid that is 100 inches long, tangle free and soft touching, with a hot water function and light volume. Afrotex also says it is the longest braid in Africa. That is the seller's claim and we have not checked it. Afrotex also says that if you cut the braid in half you get a normal braid length with the hot water function.
Cosmetic Connection lists the vendor as Afrotex Hair, and some Takealot sellers name Afrotex in their titles, so a search for Afrotex finds the same braid. On 6 Oct 2026 we found Londie London at Cosmetic Connection, Universal Dealers, Takealot and Clicks.
What is on sale
Cosmetic Connection's page also says to keep the hair away from high heat sources such as hair dryers, curling irons and flat irons, and suggests pre-stretching the hair yourself before you braid. Do that before you count how many packs you need, because the pack count the store quotes assumes you will.
- Londie London Braid 100 inch, single pack: R49.90 at Cosmetic Connection, R49.99 at Universal Dealers and R59.99 at Clicks (listed there as Braid 350, with no stock information in our data). Cosmetic Connection's title says it needs 2 packs per head.
- 3 Tone Braid and 3 Tone Blend at Universal Dealers: three codes mixed in one pack, with the 3 Tone Braid at R39.99 in 1/30/Taupe and the 3 Tone Blend at R49.99.
- Takealot sets: a pack of 2 from R146 to R190, a set of 3 at R229, a pack of 4 at R275 or R399 depending on the seller, and a 6 pack at R449. Some Takealot titles call it a Knotless Braid.
Colour codes on Londie London
Londie London has the longest colour list of the brands in our check. Cosmetic Connection's page lists 25 colours, and 5 of them (Taupe, P27/613, P613/Taupe, Ice Ash and Desert Blonde) showed out of stock on 6 Oct 2026. The 25 are 1, 2, 4, 27, 30, 33, 39, 144, 350, 99J, 60, 613, Foxbrown, Taupe, LD900, BL950, 1/350/30, 39/D900/Pink, P27/613, P60/900, P613/Taupe, Lavender, Ice Ash, Desert Blonde and Ice Pearl. Afrotex's own list adds Camo Green, Light Purple, Rose Gold, Rose Pink, Orange, Red and Blue shades. Universal Dealers adds more blends, including 27/613/60 and several taupe mixes.
Some of those are numbers and some are the seller's own names. A P in front, as in P27/613, means piano: two shades in alternating bands, here honey blonde and platinum. Taupe is a name with no number. Wikipedia describes taupe as a dark gray-brown colour. The swatches above use the names we could source for each number. Treat them as a guide and go by the pack photo.
Londie London 350 is listed at Cosmetic Connection, Universal Dealers, Takealot and Clicks, so it is the easiest code to compare across stores. FroHub's X-pression guide calls 350 Copper, while another chart calls it red-brown or medium auburn, so compare it with Darling 350 and Expression 350 in the tool above before you buy several packs.
Pack contents and price per pack
Cosmetic Connection, Universal Dealers and Clicks sell one braid at a time. Takealot sells sets, so divide before you compare. A pack of 2 in colour 2 or 30 was R190, which is R95 a pack. A set of 3 at R229 is about R76 a pack, and a pack of 4 at R275 is about R69 a pack. Those are all above the R49.90 single pack at Cosmetic Connection.
Cosmetic Connection says Londie London needs 2 packs per head. That is for the store's own sizing, so ask your braider how many your length and thickness need.
Where Londie London costs least
On 6 Oct 2026 the cheapest in-stock Londie London listing was R39.99 for a Universal Dealers 3 Tone Braid. For a single standard colour, Cosmetic Connection at R49.90 and Universal Dealers at R49.99 were within ten cents of each other, with Clicks at R59.99 but no stock information. Takealot listings started at R146 for a pack of 2. The price table above is cheapest first and shows only what was in stock.
Care and how long to keep it in
Cosmetic Connection's page says the braid can be washed and restyled and should not meet high heat. Keep your scalp clean and moisturised while it is in. The American Academy of Dermatology says pain or a headache means a style is too tight, and advises wearing weaves and extensions for two or three months at most before giving your hair a break. A long braid adds weight, so ask your braider to loosen anything that pulls.
Londie London colours: questions
How long is Londie London braid?
Afrotex and Cosmetic Connection both list it as 100 inches. Afrotex says that if you cut it in half you get a normal braid length that still has the hot water function. The longest-braid-in-Africa line is Afrotex's own claim, which we have not checked.
How many packs of Londie London do I need?
Cosmetic Connection's title says it requires 2 packs per head. Takealot sells sets of 2, 3, 4 and 6. Your braider may need more or fewer for your length and thickness, so ask before you buy. The 100 inch length can be cut in half.
Is Londie London braid pre-stretched?
The store pages we read do not say it is. Cosmetic Connection's page suggests pre-stretching the hair yourself before braiding, which means soaking sections in warm water for a few minutes, then drying and stretching them. Ask your braider whether they prefer to do it.
What does P27/613 mean on a Londie London pack?
P means piano: two shades in alternating bands rather than a fade. P27/613 is honey blonde 27 and platinum blonde 613 in stripes. Universal Dealers had it in stock on 6 Oct 2026, and Cosmetic Connection listed it but showed it out of stock. Other makers use other letters, so read each pack.
How much is Londie London braid in South Africa?
On 6 Oct 2026 a single pack was R49.90 at Cosmetic Connection, R49.99 at Universal Dealers and R59.99 at Clicks, and Afrotex's own shop listed R49.00. Takealot sets started at R146 for a pack of 2. Always check the pack count first.
Which Londie London colours are sold in South Africa?
Cosmetic Connection lists 25, including 1, 2, 4, 27, 30, 33, 39, 144, 350, 99J, 60, 613 and Taupe. Universal Dealers and Afrotex list more blends and fashion shades. Five of Cosmetic Connection's 25 were out of stock on 6 Oct 2026, so check the listing before you plan a style.
Is Londie London 99J the same as Expression 99J?
FroHub calls 99J Deep Wine Burgundy, and both brands list a 99J in South African stores, but codes are shorthand and brands vary. Use the compare tool above to see the packs side by side, and buy all the packs for one head at the same time.
