Eva Gabor, a HairUWear brand, fills the gap between Jon Renau's open cap curls and Raquel Welch's premium styles. Curl Up is a voluminous curly bob with uneven layers that fall past the shoulders at their longest, and it adds a sheer temple-to-temple lace front so curls can be pushed back from the face without showing the cap edge. The Personal Fit Cap is open wefted with velvet-lined extended nape and ear tabs, which helps with comfort for daily wear. HeadCovers Unlimited listed Curl Up from $222.99, and lists other Eva Gabor curly styles without lace, such as Sensation, at $151.99. As with all synthetic wigs, the curl is set into the fiber, so the style returns after washing, but you have less room to restyle than with human hair. It costs more than most human hair curly wigs on sale.
