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.

ABSOLUTLEY BEAUTIFUL WIG!
"I ordered Stroke of Genius by Raquel Welch in Jun 2025. I had been putting off opening the box because my luck with wigs has not been good. I'm fascinated with hair/wigs but been very disappointed and usually I give up and put them back in the box and there they stay. I've been watching Taz's Wig Closet and the review she gave on Stroke of Genius, so I decided I'd get it out of the box and give it a try- that was yesterday, July 28, 2025. BOY! was I surprised. It looks GREAT!!! Why did I wait so long? Love IT!!"
Absolutely stunning
"She made me look like I never could before. Feminin, elegant, soft. My husband's appreciative eye says it all."
Gorgeous
"This is such a beautiful wig. Full and just the right curl. I love it in an updo."

My favorite RW Stroke of Genius!!!
"ITS AMAZINGLY realistic, the hair does NOT look synthetic. Easy to style, may trim bangs a bit. Great mono part abd lace front. Rusty Auburn. . . beautiful natural chestnut with red hints, blonde highlights. How I love this. Long without being too long❤️❤️❤️❤️ lovely layers"
Stroke of Genius in Shaded Cappuccino
"I purchased this wig in the color shaded cappuccino. Love the color! The wig is beautiful! Longer that I thought so it did tangle easily after 1 wearing. If you are not good with styling, I'd think twice about buying this wig. It's beautifully styled but it takes a lot of work to recreate the style. At least 6 or 7 layers. Each layer has a different directional curl pattern. Very luxurious and sexy. Got a ton of compliments the night I wore it. And asked to dance by a guy half my age. My husband wasn't having it. Lol."
Does not disappoint
"Totally in love with this style. Although there is a lot of hair, there are a lot of styling options. This is the most glamorous looking and feminine feeling wig I own. I have more than one, and I reach for Stroke of Genius most often. This is Shaded Cappuccino. For whatever reason, I find the nape does not tangle as much as I anticipated. If I had to choose only one wig to always wear, it would be this one."
She Is Amazing
"I love this wig, I have finally found the one I have been looking for. Her beautiful curls and full body make her really easy to wear. I get great compliments when I wear her, she is perfect!"
Omg she is now my all time fave wig ever!
"Where do I begin? She is sooooo stunning! The layers, the body, the color! I was nervous getting this color and she literally is my favorite wig I own now. And I own over 150 lol but she is fabulous. I love everything about this wig! I love the volume! She is stunning half up in a clip too. This is the color shaded iced cappuccino RL10/22SS."
