Raquel Welch Upstage review

Upstage is the one Raquel Welch style the maker singles out by name: HairUWear's product page calls it "our bestselling classic mid-length page" and it sits on the brand's Bestsellers page. It earns the top spot because it combines every premium cap feature the brand offers in one wig. The lace front hides the cap edge, the Sheer Indulgence monofilament top lets the part look like scalp, and the hand-tied base means each hair is tied individually, so it moves freely and sits softly on the head. The fiber is Tru2Life heat-friendly synthetic, so you can smooth or bend the ends with low heat. It comes in petite, average and large caps, and the shade list runs to silvers and pearls such as RL56/60 Silver and RL61 Palest Pearl. The catch is price: $472.99 at Headcovers, more than double the brand's short Vibralite cuts.
