Straight Up With a Twist is Raquel Welch's take on a classic bob: a face-framing cut with a layered bang and a softly sculpted nape with razor cut tapering. It sits in the Signature Collection and uses Tru2Life heat-friendly synthetic fiber, which the listing says can be styled with thermal tools at 275 to 300 degrees F, so you can press it flatter for a sleeker finish. The cap has a Sheer Indulgence monofilament top, hand knotted across the whole top for parting in any direction, and a temple-to-temple sheer lace front for off-the-face wear. Each color blends 7 to 11 shades. When we checked, Wigs.com sold it from $338.80 with a 30% discount, down from $483.99, and a hand-tied Elite version from $384.30. It is the best built synthetic bob here, but the price is high for a wig that will need replacing.
