Magic and Freedom hairpiece colours and prices
Every Magic and Freedom colour code we found in South African stores on 6 Oct 2026, with what each store charged. Freedom is the curly weave-on in the Magic range. The swatches use each store's own pack photo, so the light changes from one swatch to the next. Tap a swatch, then compare that code with Darling and Expression.
The same code in three brands
Codes are shorthand, not a standard. Two brands' 1B can differ in warmth and shine, so check each pack photo before you buy.

Magic and Freedom hairpieces: lines, packs and where to buy
What Magic and Freedom are
A Freedom hairpiece is a curly weave-on piece sold in South Africa in the Magic range. Delu Cosmetics describes Magic Freedom as a curly weave on hairpiece and says two packs are required to complete the style. Raines lists it as premium 100% synthetic hair for curly installs, quick weaves and boho braid extensions, and Cosmetic Connection's page says one size fits all. No page we opened names the maker of Magic, so we have no maker statement.
Magic is also a common word. Takealot lists many Magic wigs, ponytails and clip-ins, and wig specialists sell items called Hat Magic. Our price table leaves those out and keeps to braids, weave-ons and crochet pieces. Be Beautiful Hair also lists a pack called Magic Braids at R132. We have not matched it to the Magic range, so it is not in the colour codes or the table.
The lines on sale
On 6 Oct 2026 we found Magic and Freedom at Cosmetic Connection, Splendit, Universal Dealers and Takealot. Each store title gives the line name, and sometimes a length and a piece count.

Colour codes on Magic and Freedom
Cosmetic Connection's Freedom page lists 1B, 2, 4, 27, 33, 99J, 613, 1B/30, 1B/33 and T27/613. Splendit lists Freedom in 1, 2, 30, 33 and 99J, and Universal Dealers lists it in 1/30, 1B, 2, 27, 30, 33, 39, 4 and 613. Universal Dealers calls the line plain Freedom.
Watch the black. Cosmetic Connection sells Magic in 1B, the softer off black, and has no plain 1, while Splendit lists a Magic Freedom in 1. FroHub's X-pression guide names 1 Jet Black and 1B Off Black, and codes are shorthand, so check the pack photo. A T in T27/613 means tipped: honey blonde shading to platinum. Slash codes such as 1B/30 and 1B/33 join off black with a light or dark auburn. Our colour chart gives the names we could source for each number.
Pack contents and how many to buy
Delu Cosmetics says two Freedom packs are needed to complete the style. Cosmetic Connection sells one Freedom pack at a time and calls it one size fits all, and it sells the Super Lexi as a 6 piece set. Splendit prices Freedom per colour. Your stylist may need more or fewer for your look, so ask before you buy. Takealot's Magic listings in our price table are single items or sets, so check the piece count in each title.
Where Magic and Freedom costs least
On 6 Oct 2026 Splendit had the lowest Freedom price in our check (R46 for 99J and R59 for 1, 2, 30 and 33). Cosmetic Connection was R51.90 and Universal Dealers R89.99. Across all Magic lines, Splendit's Freedom 99J (R46), Cosmetic Connection's Nature Afro Vivi (R46.90) and Kinky Bulk (R49.90) were the cheapest. Takealot's Magic listings in the table started at R228. Delu Cosmetics listed Magic Freedom #1 at R65.00 on the page we read, marked sold out, but Delu is not one of the 27 stores in our 6 Oct price check. The table above is cheapest first and only shows what was in stock.
Care and wear time
Delu Cosmetics says a silicone or oil moisturising spray can be used to maintain the style. Raines says to style it with low-heat tools and refresh the curls with a silicone or oil spray. Cosmetic Connection says Freedom is non-allergenic and to do a patch test before use. Cosmetic Connection also calls it heat resistant without giving a temperature, so use the lowest heat and ask your stylist first.
The American Academy of Dermatology says pain or a headache means a hairstyle is too tight, and advises wearing weaves and extensions for two or three months at most before giving your hair a break. Ask to have anything that pulls loosened.
Magic and Freedom colours: questions
What is Magic Freedom hair?
Magic Freedom is a curly weave-on hairpiece in the Magic range. Delu Cosmetics describes it as a curly weave on hairpiece, and Raines describes premium 100% synthetic hair for curly installs, quick weaves and boho braid extensions. No page we opened names the maker.
How many packs of Magic Freedom do I need?
Delu Cosmetics says two packs are required to complete the style. Cosmetic Connection sells it one pack at a time as one size fits all. Your stylist may need more or fewer for your look and your hair length, so ask before you buy.
Which Magic and Freedom colours are sold in South Africa?
Freedom comes in 1, 1B, 2, 4, 27, 30, 33, 39, 99J and 613, plus blends such as 1B/30, 1B/33 and 1/30 and the tipped T27/613. Store lists differ, so one store may have 1B and another 1. Check the listing before you plan a style.
How much is a Freedom hairpiece?
On 6 Oct 2026 Freedom was R46 to R59 at Splendit, R51.90 at Cosmetic Connection and R89.99 at Universal Dealers. Prices and stock change, and the pack count differs between listings, so check the title of each one before you compare. Splendit prices each colour separately.
Can I use heat on Magic Freedom?
Raines says to style it with low-heat tools, and Cosmetic Connection calls it heat resistant without giving a temperature. Use the lowest setting on a hidden strand first, and ask your stylist before you go near it. High heat can melt or frizz synthetic fibre.
Is Magic 1B the same as 1?
No. FroHub's guide names 1 Jet Black and 1B Off Black, a softer black. Cosmetic Connection sells Magic in 1B only, while Splendit lists a Magic Freedom in 1, so match the code on the pack rather than the word black.
Is Be Beautiful Hair's Magic Braids the same as Magic?
We cannot tell. Be Beautiful Hair lists a pack called Magic Braids at R132, and no page we opened links it to the Magic range sold at Cosmetic Connection and Splendit. We left it out of the codes and the price table. Ask the store before you buy.
