"The fit was terribly small. Even after adjusting the back straps, still could get it to sit properly on my head."
Current Event by Raquel Welch delivers a sleek, fashion-forward geometric long bob that feels both modern and timeless. This edgy A-line silhouette is slightly shorter in the back and gradually lengthens toward the front, creating a crisp, sculpted shape that beautifully frames the face.
Subtle texturizing at the ends allows the hair to bevel under naturally, giving the style a polished finish with clean movement. The result is a sophisticated look that can be worn sleek and straight for a contemporary aesthetic or slightly tousled for added softness.
Designed with Raquel Welch’s temple-to-temple lace front, Current Event offers a seamless hairline that allows for natural off-the-face styling. The wide monofilament part features individually hand-tied fibers that mimic natural hair growth and allow flexible parting.
Built with the Memory Cap® III base, the cap includes silicone-coated stretch lace that molds comfortably to the shape of your head, creating a secure and custom-like fit.
Crafted with TRU2LIFE® heat-friendly synthetic fiber, this wig can be styled with heat tools to maintain a sleek finish or add subtle movement.
A standout feature of this style is the limited-edition color Shaded Iced Sweet Cream, available exclusively in Current Event.
Elegant, contemporary, and strikingly structured, Current Event by Raquel Welch is the perfect sleek bob for modern, polished style.

Wig Care and Styling Guide for Tru2Life Heat-Friendly Fibers
Keep your Raquel Welch and Gabor Tru2Life heat friendly synthetic wigs and hair toppers looking their best with proper wig care and maintenance. Designed to mimic the look and feel of natural hair, Tru2Life fiber is lightweight, soft, and heat-friendly—giving you the freedom to curl, straighten, or blow dry your style with tools up to 350°F (180°C).
Follow these expert tips to extend the life of your wig and maintain its beautiful finish.
Before You Begin
- Gently detangle with a wide-tooth comb—never use a brush.
- Always start from the ends and work toward the base to avoid fiber damage.
- Be especially careful with lace front wigs, as the lace is delicate and can tear with excessive pulling.
- Avoid sudden heat exposure (e.g., ovens) as it may melt synthetic fibers.
- Do not sleep, shower, or swim while wearing a synthetic wig.
How to Wash Tru2Life Wigs
Pre-Wash / Detangling Your Wig or Topper
- Gently remove tangles with a wide-tooth comb.
Washing Your Wig or Topper
- Fill a basin with cool water and add 1 tbsp of HairUWear CLEANSE shampoo.
- Soak wig for 3–5 minutes. Do not agitate or scrub the fibers and do not soak for more than 5 minutes. Soaking longer than 5 minutes can damage the wig or hairpiece.
- Rinse thoroughly under cool water, allowing the water to run in the direction of the fibers. Gently press out water with a towel—do not wring.
Conditioning Your Wig or Topper
- Lightly mist the ends with HairUWear RESTORE and comb through using a wide tooth comb.
- Avoid spraying directly on hand-tied areas to prevent the hand tied knots from loosening.
Drying Your Wig or Topper
- Place on a wig stand to air dry.
- Hand-tied hairpieces should dry flat on a towel.
- Do not use a solid mannequin head or canvas block head, as this may stretch the cap and disrupt air flow to dry the interior of the cap.
Styling Heat-Friendly Synthetic Hair
- Once dry, shake and finger-style the wig for a natural look.
- Use HairUWear PROTECT before applying heat.
- Set heat tools to low–medium (max 350°F/180°C).
- To curl: wrap a 1" section around a curling iron, hold 10 seconds, clip to set while cooling.
- To straighten: run a flat iron down a 1" section and let cool.
- Once heat-styled, Tru2Life® fiber retains its shape—even after washing.
- Refresh curls or waves by spritzing a 50/50 mix of RESTORE and water.
Maintenance Tips
- After each use, gently finger-comb or use a wide-tooth comb to remove tangles.
- Refresh your style and neutralize odors with HairUWear REFRESH spray.
- Store on a wig stand or clip onto a hanger to prevent kinks.
- Only finger-style wavy or curly wigs when dry to preserve the texture.
- For frizz or matting: wash, condition with RESTORE, and detangle gently from ends up using a wide tooth comb.

Reviews
Very disappointing
"The fit was terribly small. Even after adjusting the back straps, still could get it to sit properly on my head."
Nice Style
"I like the style of this wig but the color shaded sand, was darker than I expected. The lace was also kind of warped. Not sure if that was just a flaw on that particular wig. It is very dense in my opinion which is nice but might have been a bit much for me. I did return for a different color and style. Hope this helps you!"
Perfection and easy to order
"Love this right out of the box! RW Current Event in Iced Java"
Beautiful style, disappointed in color
"The purchase was great as usual, however the color RL 14/22SS appeared more brunette than the same color in a different style."
Current Events Hits the Mark
"I’m in love with my newest wig, RW Current Events in SS Iced Cafe Latte. In the past, I usually opted for shorter styles but I decided to go a bit outside my comfort zone. I’m so glad that I did! This shade is also new to me as my bio hair is a combo of brown/gray. The fibers are so luxurious and the cap fits very comfortably. I would definitely recommend this style."
My first wig and I
"My first wig and I am very happy with it. The style, color and fit are amazing. No one has even noticed it’s a wig, that’s how real it looks."
Gorgeous
"This it is gorgeous! The true to life fibers are so soft and the lace just melts into your skin. It’s my favorite wig I’ve ever had."
Cute style
"I love the style & color (RL16/22SS) of this wig. However, the cap is large on my 21"" head. She's really cute, & the fibers are silky soft. The bangs will definitely need some work to keep off the face. (a cute hairclip is working for now)"
A bit too big
"Very pretty wig but it seemed too big on me. There was a pocket at my crown that wouldn’t lay flat."
