Beautiful, but....
I love Raquel Welch wigs! The fibers are not too shiny or heavy and the color SS14/88 is a beautiful blond...her wigs are reminiscent of how my hair used to be before my hair loss. A very natural look, which is what I am going for. This one makes me feel a lot younger. The cons: (1)on this particular unit the lace front is not as good as my other RW wigs and I actually end up pulling the side swept bangs slighlty down to cover up most of the lace front, which is a bummer because I like lace fronts so I have the style option of clipping my hair back.(2) The permatease is heavy (noticeable) on this wig which is unusual for RW. (3) I wish it had a full mono top not just the tiny crown piece (which really doesn't do anything). And (4) After owning several RW wigs and ... MoreI love Raquel Welch wigs!

And (4) After owning several RW wigs and loving them, I have to say I think they are just a bit too tight (small) for my large-ish head. They stretch a little, but are still a tight fit. I love how I look when I put RW wigs on, but I also find myself hurrying to take them off after wearing all day because they pinch my head. Alas, I am keeping this beautiful wig, but have started my hunt for a similar style/color in a different brand that will accommodate my larger head.... Show more

Fits great and I love the cut
This was an impulse buy. I’m so glad I stumbled upon it. I found this to be very realistic and versatile. This cap is a more generous average cap. I have no issues with fibres tangling. It has a little bit of permatease, but it doesn’t bother me in this style. Low density and the lace front is impeccable... Show more

Good customer service but read return instructions before trying on your new wig
I was so excited about getting my new wig but it came in and of course I unboxed it, tried it on, adjusted the part, brushed it and tried to make it work for me. It just wasn't right. It didn't really look like the photo; it was way too shiny like Barbie doll hair, too blonde, & the bangs wouldn't stay in place. I planned to return it but after looking at the requirements, I thought that it wasn't going to be possible since I tried it on, adjusted the part and brushed it. After looking at the return instructions I figured I was stuck with it so I might as well try to make it work for me. To tone down the shine I sprayed it with dry shampoo. It helped a little but it’s still not satisfactory. I felt like it was insult on top of injury. I have breast cancer, a ...

It helped a little but it’s still not satisfactory. I felt like it was insult on top of injury. I have breast cancer, a mountain of medical bills, am on long term disability so I'm not getting my full paycheck, just finished chemo, just had a double mastectomy & lymph node dissection, am in a lot of pain emotionally and physically and feel like I just wasted good money on a wig I can't send back. It was pretty disheartening. I did get a call from the company about this review and rating. I had given them a one star. They were very nice and said because I had brushed it and sprayed it with dry shampoo, I could not return it- which I understand- and that I could keep the wig & they would refund me $30 out of the $158.00. That was very kind which is why I am now giving them a 3 star rating. It would be more if the wig was as pictured, not so shiny, and if the return instructions were not worded in a way that made me feel like I was stuck with it once it was tried on and brushed. I never would have sprayed it with dry shampoo if I felt I could have returned it. I would say this company has good customer service. Just read the return instructions carefully before you get too excited and try your new wig on.... Show more

My new favorite style
I LOVE this wig! The style is beautiful. The density is just right. I get many compliments when I wear her. She has a beautiful lace front, but a basic cap. She does have minimal permatease and it’s somewhat visible in the part. That’s the only complaint I have about this style, I wish she had a mono part. Otherwise she’s perfect and I’ll continue to order and wear her regardless. I ordered shaded vanilla which is a platinum blonde with a dark root. It’s only slightly shiny, not excessive…I’m quite happy with the color and will continue to order in this shade.... Show more

Not a fan!
First this wig looks nothing like the photo of Raquel Welch in it. It's very shiny and for me the bangs are too short and stick up when I try to add lift. I'm going to keep working with it to see if I can make it work. I took the tag off and can't return it my bad!I don't understand why it has no mono top only a circle at the crown. It was the first wig I ordered and now I've learned more of what I like. I also don't like the color I picked it's too blonde. I had bio hair before chemo that was dark blonde with golden blonde highlights and it's hard when so many blondes are ashy. I love my simmer RW wig and am waiting for wavy day to restock. Raquel Welch wigs are usually great quality and very comfy with a great lace front cap.... Show more

The perfect one for me.
This is my second Watch Me Wow because I loved the first one so much. It’s literally like my bio hair from my twenties came back only healthier. My only issue is that I couldn’t remember the exact color my first one was so I accidentally bought it in the wrong color, but that of course isn’t anyone’s fault but mine. Although this color (honey blonde is beautiful it doesn’t have roots and I much prefer the color (ginger blonde) of my first one because it does have roots and I just feel that makes it look much more natural on me. In my experience Raquel Welch wigs are hands down, the best with their application of the lace front, as well as being lightweight and beyond comfortable. I literally forget I have her on 2 minutes after I put her on. She’s beautiful right ... MoreThis is my second Watch Me Wow because I loved the first one so much.

Versatile, classy and easy to wear, a minimum of fuss
My Watch Me Wow in Chestnut R10 is wearable right out of the box. I left the part where it was and finger lifted the fibers up to help obscure the permatease although the permatease isn't immediately noticeable, only if you get up close and know what you're looking for. The color is a warmer than I expected with a reddish cast to it. Gorgeous. It's challenging to get a cool brunette although that is improving. Although I definitely have a cool complexion, I look best in Belle Tress Chrome, I look ok in this color because it is so very pretty. I adjust my brows with a brown color rather than charcoal which I think helps. It seems to tangle easily but Estetica's Revitalize and Shine spray takes care of the fibers very well and is easy to use. I like bangs and this wig ...

I did trim a bit to keep them out of my eyes when combed down. A little bit of water will keep them back when I want to wear them away from my face. The cap is extremely comfortable and fit securely using only the nape adjusters without a wig grip or cap. The front hairline lace is minimal and not all that soft but even though my skin is sensitive, it didn't bother me at all. Overall, a versatile, classy and easy to wear style with a minimum of fuss.... Show more

Watch Me Wow
I received this wig and knew I loved the style right out of the box. It looked exactly as pictured online. But the color that I ordered from the color swatch pictured was not at all what I received. I did not expect such a gold appearance. The swatch pictured looked much more silver blonde. I unfortunately had to return Watch Me Wow even though I loved the style. I did call customer service and they were very accommodating to me.... Show more

Watch Me Wow is a great value but SS613 SHADED PLATINUM is an unexpected color
I got this Raquel Welch Watch Me Wow in SS613 SHADED PLATINUM on 40% clearance. What's funny about this color is its not platinum but a yellowish blonde, rooted, but mostly not highlighted, pretty much solid yellow. It is beautiful, so I kept it, but was expected a more platinum (white/gray) color.it has a great length, about shoulder length so not quite as long as other medium wigs, and nice straight kind LOB cut. This length is hard to find.However it does not have the kind of cap i'm used to (the more monofilament cap) to allow for easier parting and more realistic hair line (it does not have that), that said the cap is adequate and does have nice tabs for temples and is wefted.I do see some lace front edge to the front-part too, but its not too noticeable. ...

Hair lays in the right place most of the time is very pretty.Easy to wash and lightweight on the head. About the right thickness and has soft fibers. It does get static on dry days after brushing.And I did get a great price on it, affordable Raquel Welch quality.... Show more

You gotta try this color!
Cap is so comfortable. I had to cut on the bangs a little because they went directly into my eyes. However! The color more than made up for it. The eggplant shade is absolutely beautiful and perfect for the fall season! If your bio hair is or was brown and you are looking for brown yet with a twist of pow…. Choose this color! I have yet to be disappointed with the Raquel Welch brand wigs.Thank you Wigstudio1 for always getting my orders to me in such a timely manner. Makes me so happy to know an order is heading my way. I just wish I had discovered wigs many years ago when I started losing my bio hair would have saved me many tears when I was buying every product out there to get my hair back. I will try to take a pic today with the wig on and send your way! Hope ... MoreCap is so comfortable. I had to cut on the bangs a little because they went directly into my eyes. However!
