Sonia fills a gap on this list: a salon synthetic blonde with length. It has shoulder-length layers with soft bounce and side-swept bangs, on an open, wefted cap that Headcovers Unlimited describes as airy and breathable, at medium density. Envy's blonde options include Sparkling Champagne R, Vanilla Butter, Light Blonde, Medium Blonde and Dark Blonde, plus Golden Nutmeg R and Creamed Coffee R for darker blondes. The synthetic fiber keeps its wave, so styling is minimal. At $225.25, down from $265, it costs about $50 more than Raquel Welch Winner or Jon Renau Allure, and the basic cap has no lace front or monofilament part, so it looks best worn with the bangs forward.
