Raquel Welch review

Raquel Welch, another HairUWear brand, makes the most refined synthetic curly wig we compared, at the highest price. Stroke of Genius is a long curled style with sculpted layers, and HeadCovers Unlimited publishes the cut, from 8 inches at the front to 13.5 inches at the nape. The cap pairs a temple-to-temple lace front with a monofilament part, so both the hairline and the part look like hair growing from the scalp. Tru2Life heat-friendly fiber can be curled, straightened or refreshed with tools up to 350°F, which standard synthetic wigs do not allow. That flexibility and construction score well on performance, but value is the weak point: it was listed from $326.99, two to four times the price of the human hair curly wigs above, and heat-friendly fiber needs gentler care to keep its curl.
